Some Clarifications

There was some confusion regarding the prototype machines at Houston – here are a few comments deeproot had made some previously regarding the machines:

“These prototypes will not have final art, design, or code.”
“…what those games will not have, is/are most of the innovations that we will not show yet…I hope the hobby keeps in mind that the best is yet to come.”
“we…contracted with Mirco to supply the playfields for the Houston Expo”
“…the production cabinets will be more aesthetically pleasing”

Dead Flip Machine Coming Soon

On a Dead Flip Twitch Stream last week, Jack Danger of Dead Flip was asked the following question in the chat:

“When will we see the first official jack danger designed pin for sale to the general public? greater than or less than 2 years?“

Jack responded:

“I’d say give it a year. For the completed finished product…give me a year internet, you’ll have something you can buy.“

So Jack has confirmed publicly that he is designing a pinball machine to sell to the public – we’ll keep you posted as we learn more!
