Ok so plans are underway…..
Apparently there’s loads and loads more opportunity for call-outs with FG than Shrek so I’ll download the FG ROM to start with. I’ll have a look at Pinball Browser first but if it has limitations then may go to Jim for his CPU setup instead/as well. I’m happy of course to do the bulk of the legwork myself, but am not stupid enough to turn down the option of paying people to do the bits for me that I’m a total n00b at, like the dots..... dependent on me landing this job i'm *still* interviewing for.
I want my game to have all the bells and whistles as I’m only doing it the once. I’ll want background music, multiball music (x5), mode songs, instructions and commentary, random noises, 1000+ call outs, 1000+ DMD images, Easter eggs (a DOHO, cows, flipper code if possible, a dirty pool perhaps) and definitely a mini TV on the playfield somewhere playing video. Gotta have *some* video *somewhere* of the boys' best clips doing awesome stupid stuff that is cool and kicks ass and doesn't suck.
Add your ideas and suggestions here in this thread please. The ones I use that I hadn’t thought of will get a credit somewhere on the playfield or backglass somewhere (or your initials or whatever). unless i renege on that and just steal it and pretend it was my idea all along. what you gonna do then, tough guy? huh? huh? yeah that's what i thought
EDIT: i've so far watched about 5 hours of material and saved about 500 soundbites. I need someone to print my art, and @Colywobbles has agreed to make me some blank plastics. Pinball Browser will replace all the sounds, music, call-outs and DMD. The DMD design is still to be arranged - I want colour and will need to start from scratch.
Printing jobs being quoted for now - i'll provide the graphics files but i'll need a company to make the cab decals x 5 plus the playfield and mini playfield decals, the back of the playfield and the sides too. I've approached Arcade Graphics, Pinball Life, Retro Refurbs, This Old Game, Banners Expo, Bannerbuzz, Pinball Decals Inc and Diginate. The one that demonstrates the best past performance and communication will get all the work.
Then i'll get reverse-printed-clear-window-white-ink-covered decals for the undersides of all the plastics x 3 sets [the first ones i'll most likely fuc_k up, the second ones i'll use, the third ones will be spares]; also decals for the 15 targets/drops/spinner x 3 sets; also for the 77 inserts x 3 sets; and finally the translite.

One note about sounds, usually i and others use wav as the format for saved audio assets in the master/working folder. It's better to save in an uncompressed format though larger file sizes than things like mp3 where you are loosing quality with the compressions.
