The Scoop

Free Play Pinball Interviews Dwight Sullivan

Free Play Pinball Podcast

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
