Free Play Pinball Interviews Dwight Sullivan

The Free Play Pinball Podcast “comes out of retirement” to interview the one and only Dwight Sullivan about his latest game, Stern’s Venom.

• Dwight is “nervous” for Venom as it’s a departure from more traditional mode-based games.

• Venom represents Dwight stepping more into his comfort zone from a gameplay and rules perspective.

• Notes that Corey Stup is the unsung hero on Dwight’s programming team – fast lock system was programmed by him.

• Says his two sons, James Sullivan, and David Sullivan, both also helped with the code.

• Talks about Spider-Sense mode, a new concept for the action button.

• The code will be close to 1.0 by the time games start shipping.

• Says the game is mostly kid friendly

• Likes to add at least one new innovative feature per game; he’s particularly proud of the Speed Run feature in Venom
