Profile

GDAU is a game engine and media controller technology developed for the Mission Pinball Framework (MPF) ecosystem. It serves as a graphics, display, audio, and game engine replacement for older presentation systems, having evolved from a PowerPoint-style controller to a more sophisticated integrated solution. GDAU has been adopted in commercial pinball games including Winchester Mystery House and Dune, as well as homebrew projects like Trogdor pinball, demonstrating its role as a critical component of modern pinball game development infrastructure.
