Pinball...

BlackbirdStudios

So I was thinking about doing a pinball game.

Before anyone says anything: I know it is a very overused idea. But it would just be mainly to get my brand out there. It will most definitely be free.

Is the best way to start to use the example in the GS Creator? Or does anyone else have a better template/method to use?

This might help a little...

It shows how I handled the collision detection with my GameSalad pinball games.

I was trying to make another one...

...but then it became this...

It seemed that there is some interest in a pinball game, but the table has to look really good... lights, bumpers, ramps, and lots of pinball things. I had trouble making something that I really liked. Real pinball games are generally quite busy — with no space wasted.

Very true, It has to be very stimulating visually to sell well. Thanks for the link, I read your posts a lot, you give a lot of useful advice and resources and I appreciate it.

Thanks again!
