Thant's IT, I'm building one of these!, I've been anxiously anticipating the game release, I check it every week. Sjaak, I may be hitting you up soon... are you using an asteroids deluxe cabinet? or did you go with different dimensions?, it seems like it needs to be a bit wider for 2 players, or maybe do a player one on one side, and player 2 on the other side of the cab?
anyway, very cool build, I really want one, i hope the game is epic!
I'm not actually using a asteroids deluxe cabinet, but I'm building a new cabinet with the same dimensions. I could be wider, but I like the idea of the 2 players standing close together, because you have to communicate a lot.
I've played the game and without constant communication it's impossible to play. I will be making a slight adjustment to the control panel, because you can play the game with 1 person, but you need an extra button to control the second player.
Just curious, have you played on an asteroids deluxe cab? I have an AD and the cab play area is so small, I don't know how 2 people can comfortably play a heated battle game being right on top of each other?!? I don't mean to or even want to break what you are going to pursue here, because I really love the design
... but I really feel If I build this cab, I'm going to have to make the cab wider and make some of the metal pieces by hand, and make the control panel out of wood rather than mod an AD metal one, it's just that the cab is just so small, I really feel the comfort level is going to suffer
do you have an amendment on the control panel to show us possibly for the extra button?
