Small update, working hard on some games for this custom table. I will be adding LED lights soon, and the first three games are currently in coding stage. These games are all very different and focus on different types of gameplay, such as the ability to hit precise ring numbers in order. My first game is almost done, just need a few more in-game graphics and some sound effects, but the game code is done and working:
This is a game for 1-4 players. This began as a simple titled "Super Skee" game that featured basic gameplay but with much higher scoring possibilities. That was boring, so I added a Star Wars theme to it. There are three rounds, and with each round there is a "force" multiplier that increases from x100, to x250, up to x500. After the third ball in the third round there is a special "Yoda ball" worth 1000x the ring score (50 is worth 5000, and so on). Each player gets a 15 second time limit per throw. Programming this was very difficult and took me forever. Can't wait to play it! I have future plans for a local scoreboard where the winner enters their initials and the score is saved.
One player game that has a set number of levels. This game is based on precision under stress. You will have various amounts of time per level to diffuse the bomb. This is done by hitting numbers in a set order. For example on the lower levels you have to hit 40 then 30... on the higher levels you must hit 20, then 100, then 50 all in a row. If you mess up you have to start over (20, 100, 50). When 5 seconds remain the red light on top of the machine will flash and a warning siren will go off. I may even add a vibration element to table to make this part even harder to concentrate as time runs out.... buzz buzz buzz. The game ends when the bomb explodes or if the players get through all the levels successfully.
The game that stars YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY! I am the bad guy on the cover, but you can change that to be anyone you want. This is still being developed in my brain as we speak, so the rules/gameplay may change. There will be characters like the gunman, bartender, sheriff, etc. I am thinking about making this an endless shooter, where you have a set amount of lives and the game continues until you die - increasing in difficulty with each level. Three or four characters will appear on the screen at a time, each with ring numbers under them. You will have three "shots" to get the gunman. If you hit a number with an innocent person on the card you lose points. If you hit a number that isn't shown it is just considered a missed shot. If you don't get the gunman in three tries you lose a life. Once you kill the gunman you go to the next level. The character photos are external files so you can replace them with your own friends and family faces to make the game unique for everyone.
Finally there is also a main game select screen. I have it working but hate the current "space" design so there is no screen to show. It is coded, just needs a new design/theme.
