JJP #6 Countdown, Gomez on SPIKE, More on deeproot – TWIP 10/05/20

Jersey Jack Pinball released several teasers last week counting down to the release of their sixth game!! Keep an eye out on TWIP a little later today for a Deep Dive into the new game!!

George Gomez discusses the SPIKETM system and its components. He talks about how its modular node architecture makes it very flexible for their games. The next iteration of SPIKE will switch to a quad-core processor for video processing. He also mentions that they moved the switch to the backbox for compliance reasons. He admits that the fan noise from the power supply is noisy but robust and that they are working on trying to find a quieter version. Gomez answers more often asked questions and complaints about the SPIKE system. He also threw out a teaser about WIFI updates of games in the near future. More behind the scenes videos coming from Gomez in the future on Stern’s YouTube Channel.

On the October 1st, 2020 Bug with the Spooky Pinball Podcast was joined by Bunyip, Scott Danesi, and Eric Priepke. Scott discussed the Rick and Morty license, the horseshoe lock, the pop bumper in place of the sling, the MagnaSave, and more, and Eric discussed his excitement for the Rick and Morty license and when he came in for the project. They all talk about different dimensions in the game, and much more.

Kaneda’s Pinball Podcast was joined last week by Ben Heck – here are just a couple highlights:

On what is going on at CGC: I know that they’re having hopefully the final meeting of licensing for my game this week I believe.  Then I’m waiting on them to finish up their next remake and that is when I’ll get the engineering team.  Of course they were delayed by COVID like everyone else.  It sounds like it is almost ready to happen.

On what is coming from CGC: I think there is another game before my game gets released. [First another remake title], and then I think they have their first [original licensed] non-remake title.

Ben also talks about his history with Retro Atomic Zombie Adventureland, discusses deeproot, and talks about Fire and Brimstone vs. Bible Adventures.
