Well, if you may have noticed, it is not Christmas anymore. Yes, that is true. Christmas is done. Uh, where the [ __ ] is this game, [laughter] which is what you want to know. not even a little. Yes. So, um,
five minutes later.
Welcome to Mr. Pinball Theater where we discuss how long it takes to make a pinball game. My name is Manu. This is a little bit of State of the Union address to uh The Matrix, which we didn't promise Christmas. We just said we're shooting for Christmas. Um so there's that. Um, [laughter] I know kung fu. Uh, there's Flipronic, the proud owner of a Winchester. I'm super jelly about your Winchester, bro. But please enjoy it. Enjoy the heck out of it. That'll be fun. Uh, give me another reason to visit Austin and hang out with Paul and Becca and Jordan. Anyway, Matrix. All right. Well, so I'm part of the I am part of PinCreds right there. PinCreds. We are creating a homebrew for the Matrix. The movies that you know and love. Mostly Matrix one. A little bit of two, a little bit of three. You didn't say which Christmas. Exactly. That's what That's what The Fishbowl is is counting on. [laughter] Where's the blue pill? The fishbowl is counting on. He said Christmas. It's got that blood machines hole. It does. It's got a blood machines hole up there. Uh I think blood machines had a I think machines had a magnet also. Not sure. What's up, fishbowl? [laughter] So, I'll give it to you guys straight. These things take a long time, especially with um a couple of guys who have jobs and lives and it's hard to put all that in. And um I'm telling you, I've never seen someone code as fast as the fishbowl. I I am not lying. It's insane. Oh, wait a minute. What did Jeff say? You need more sound help to get it done. You know to call. Well, Jeff, you're you're your credit is already in there. [laughter] Jeff, you're already in there. So, um uh so this has the new Matrix movie in it. No, absolutely. There's only three Matrix movies, Jordan. you know that and you know the correct order of the how good the the um um whatever there's only three matrix movie I literally did one as effects you should be credited as you should be credited as sound effects no well so there are the our credits our credit list is not complete yet
I love that we have are a track sound. So if you hit the flipper and and you know if it's in a track mode, you hit the flipper, it'll play a sound, which is kind of fun. But um yeah, Jeff, so we have currently um certain people in there. Um, Flux, Astro 6, Apotheasaki, there's me, there's Astro, there's Flux again, there's Finny, there's Flipstream, Pinch, Dance, Ster, there's Dirty Pinball, additional sound effects, Dirty Pool, Pinball, and special thanks to Stephen Silver, Kelly Marzawki, Jack Danger, and Jeff Dodson. Um, that list is not yet that list is not yet complete. That is the first run of credits. We have a lot of credits coming, but these these are kind of the the um what we have in there right now. What's up, Astro? I want to be in the credits. You are in the credits. You did this. This is you, Astro. Do you need to be any more any more on this game than everything? [laughter] Do you need more Astro than everything on the [ __ ] playing field? [laughter] Oh my god. Um anyway, that's all I'm going to say to Astro. Um so, uh yeah, this takes a long time. There are a lot of people involved. Not a lot a lot, but there are enough people involved. Um did anyone find the hidden penis yet? I did. [snorts] Um so, we're waiting on a couple of things. Um, we've got beta testers testing everything. Pinstratz Dan, holy smokes. I gotta say, and I'm going to say this when we release, too. Pinstratz Dan is a monster. Um, and a lifesaver at the same time. I don't have to do is this a Vpin or a homebrew? It is both. Robendo number two. It starts its Welcome in to Mr. Pinball Theater. Thank you for joining. It started its life as a virtual pin, but it it it it it was built to be built. So, the fishbowl is building this uh currently um in their garage. So, this will this will be at an expo, a shootable version. And would it would be nice if we'd have the VPen and the actual physical side by side so you can try them both. But, you know, we don't know. We'll see. But, good question. Thank you. Um so, what are we waiting on? Why are you guys still waiting for the Matrix pinball machine? Because we are running through a lot of bug checking, a lot of bug testing, a little things here and there, some rule stuff. Pinstress Dan is knocking it out of the park by every time a new version goes up, Pinstress Dan has already played it, already beat it [laughter] like a monster. and saves me a lot of time because I'm doing this and I'm doing the sound and I'm making the call outs and and the fishbowl is ladened in 30 over 30,000 lines of code. So, um, we don't have a date for you. I think I'm going to say it'll be ready when it's done. I'm going to use the the ID software, John Carmarmac, John Romero. Um, it's it'll you'll get it when it's done, but it shouldn't be that long. It's not going to be Christmas 2026. Um, it's very, very close. Uh, when it does, February 5th confirmed. [laughter] Uh, the can give you cookies now. That's right. Uh, is this like uh like is this a real pinball? What we're seeing? Oh, what you're seeing right here, this is a VPIN. Yeah. Thank you, Fishbowl. This is a virtual pinball game, right? This here. Here, let's let's let's do this. Quit. Quit. This is a virtual game. See that? This is That's what this is. It looks pretty damn good, though, doesn't it? All right. [laughter] That's what this is. Um, wonderful way to prototype uh new games. Isn't that crazy? You're a virtual game. Um, forgot what I was saying, but yeah, thank you for the questions. Those are good. So, so it'll be done when it's done, but it won't be that long. And it's not going to be Christmas 2026. Um, I think we're just going to put it out now when it comes out. I think the fishbowl, I think you and I are on the same page as this. When we do release the like the 1.0 or the.99 of this to the public, it will it will not have it will not have these two things. Number one, it will not have the the final wizard mode. It will not have the final wizard mode. And number two, it will not have integration with score. Scorbit those we plan to release after um the fishbowl. Is that I think we're both on the same page about that, right? We we are not going to release like the 0.99. Yes. The 0.99 will not have the the final wizard mode and the 0.99 will not have scorbin integration. Number one is because we are um we want to get a a ton of more bugs out before we put the final wizard mode in. I think the fishbowl I I have ideas. You have ideas about that Wizmo. I think we already have ideas about it. Um I have more ideas. It's going to be epic. Trust me. Um and number two, we want to see what the scores look like before I'm only down if it's 9.99 and a half. Yes, let's mix decimals and fractions, [laughter] Isaiah. Um, number two, we want we don't want to commit to score bit before we have a solid base of scores to base things on because we don't want to release because I know we know people are going to be playing this and be playing it competitively. Um, or we hope people will be playing it competitively. So, we don't want to release someone blows a score up because of a bug they found and then that's in score bit forever. So, um there's a place. Yeah, there is a there is a placeholder wizard mode. It it's there. It's something you can try and get to. Um but, uh once we release, you guys will get it. And then once that's been bug checked and tested and everything and beat up, um we will release a final or at least, you know, a 1.0, right? With score integration, achievements and scores. I need to talk to Jay about how that [ __ ] works now because they changed everything in Scorp. My old video is not even like appropriate anymore. So, I need to talk to Jay about that. Um, is there a choice of red blue pill? There is a choice of red and blue pill. Yes, red and blue pill are. So, I'm going to take this time to just describe how the game play goes. Um, think of Guardians of the Galaxy on steroids, right? So, um, we have movie modes, but we have a lot of stuff outside of the movie modes, too. Um, so we'll take I'll take you through it. I'll I'll I'll try and play. I pretty much suck at this game, but um here, let's see what uh I'm going to hit the flipper. I mean, not the flipper, the start button. [laughter] I'm going to hit the flipper. Yes. Pinball starts on a flipper. See that? What's wrong with How about I hit the start button?
I'll be your
Jeez.
All right, I got to get my stuff together.
Um,
taking a shift.
Don't make the final wizard mode a prize tour.
Lol. Makes us actually have to do something.
Uh, yes, you have to do something. Okay. Yes, you have to do something. No, no, you you have to. Yes, you we got I got you clear. So, there's a target shot that rapid fires the ball back at the flippers. Sort that sort of geot. Um I'm hoping bullet bullet time. I hope bullet time balls are a thing. Yeah, that that is a thing too. Oh, so no, Lynn, the um the thing I mean it's kind of Guardians on Stereos is in its kind of um it's progression through the movies is kind of like that, right? You start on Matrix mode and you're playing a moment in the movie. You know, Guardians is kind of like you start a character and you're playing through a moment in the movie. Yes.
Can I eat potatoes?
Can you eat what? This is my son, by the way. This is a very important stream. Can you eat what? Bring me what you want to eat. Show me. But I have a lot of important people right now in chat. I'm very Oh my god. You want to eat these?
Yeah.
You want to eat some of those?
Yeah.
Don't eat a lot of these.
All right.
Here. Promise me you won't eat a ton of those. Get out of here, man. Close the door. Don't eat too many of those, please. All right. Bye. My son is [laughter] My son is is an idiot. Don't make me smile again. [laughter] What is this problem? I don't know [laughter] where you get that sense of humor. All right. [snorts] Uh let's see. Let me go back to here. Yes, you have to do something. There's a target uh bullet time. I once bought the sunglasses the twins wear, not like their actual glasses, just the same model. I thought it was so cool. [laughter] Can I eat batteries? Astro's biggest contribution to this game was telling Manu there was the soundtrack to the anime. [laughter] You can only eat batteries in EMP Multiball and get your chips out of here. So, uh, what's up, Apous? So, that's it. So, we're we're we're Oh, forgive this the See the all the red. This is not the final playfield. So, you guys won't get a version of the Squiddy with all the red stuff behind it. There's some stuff that we're waiting on. There's two bullets that don't light up, but that doesn't matter. I'm going to walk you through some gameplay. So, uh, Matrix is a game. You you're you're the player. You're not one of the characters in the game, but you are with Tank. So, like you're an operator, sort to speak. Tank is the operator, but you're also an operator. Um, it'll be even more red. Um, eat your chips and get out of here. So, there is a skill shot. You can launch from the button or you can launch from the plunger. Um, as you can see, there's a screen here that uh this is basically the Hang on. Let me see if I can trap up. Can I trap up? Can he trap up? Yes. So, this screen gives you information about what's happening in the game. This screen here is just kind of like fancy movie stuff. Oh, here's your um instant instant info of all your statuses. There's three multiballs in the game that you can access at any time. Well, not in a not in a wizard or mini wizard mode. Um matrix modes. We have different goals. You can spell matrix. $12,000. [laughter] Um there's believe progress. There's some more features to start. This is kind of like a kind of like a JJP where you can see all the neat stuff you have to do. You don't have to do everything to finish the game and get to wizards mode, but you do have to do everything in order to get to like whatever you know you want. Oh my god, 725 million for a replay. All right. Um, so there's other stuff coming, but Oh, I almost forgot that I had a ball trapped on a flipper.
crap.
All right. Um, so I'm going to assume that everybody I'll take 10. I'm going to assume that everybody's just going to watch for a little bit and I'll try to explain what I'm doing. The first thing you got to do is collect white rabbits to get into the matrix, right? So,
I need to enter the matrix.
Okay. Okay, so Tank told me to shoot the right orbit to enter the matrix. Once you've collected enough white rabbits, you could enter the matrix. You don't have to enter the matrix. You can start do other doing other stuff. There's training over here. This is the training area. There's a believe there's a the [music] captive ball is a believe mode, which I think Oh, there's an upper play field.
Oh, let me see if I can
Let me see if I can hit the believe. There we go. to spell believe.
So believe. Well, you don't have to spell believe in the beginning. You have B L. I think all you have to do is Eve E. I can lock balls up here.
Zion Battle.
All right. So, Zion Battle is one of the multiballs you have access to to help you through modes. Okay. Zion Battle is is basically uh locking in the beginning. You lock two balls up there and you start playing bad. As a matter of fact, let's do that. This is
or
this is the construct.
Or we can train from clothing, equipment,
weapons, training simulation, anything.
Anything we need. Morpheus. Holy [ __ ] So, uh, the whole point of training, there's three different training modes. Sparring program.
Sparring program.
Agent program.
Agent program.
Jump program.
Jump program. There. There. It's easy. I would say jump is the easiest because it's green. You can see what perks you get if you complete the training. If you don't complete the training, you don't get the perks. What you do do, what you do do, what you do get is whenever you do training, you get a multiplier. You get a 0.1 to your matrix mode multiplier. All right. So, just real quick, if you guys want to take a look at this, um, in the upper left corner, it says 1.0 matrix mode multiplier. Anytime you finish in matrix mode, your total score gets multiplied by that. I drew that spoon. Yes, you did draw that spoon. [laughter] Astro, you drew a lot of stuff. Now, shut up. Okay. [laughter] Um, if you complete a matrix mode, which I'll show you in a minute, that score will get multiplied by the matrix mode multiplier. Um, that's basically what the matrix modes multiplier is. So, if you want to go for progression, you don't have to train at all. You can get to the wizard mode, never train, but if you do train, you get some perks. Notice I get an extra spoon, which we'll talk about. I'll get easier character upgrades, and I'll get a.3 if I completed to matrix multiplier. Um, thank you for the It looks like it looks like none of my freaking um alerts are working. That sucks. Flip screen. Thank you for the tier one sub. Also, uh, Tech Techchno Dan, thank you for the follow, but that was three days ago, so I guess Techno Dan is not here anymore. Um, so that's just a uh almost a cooler total. So that's just a uh just an example of what training will do. I'm going to I'm going to try and do try and do jump program.
Thank you, Flipstream. Flipstream is in the credits, but Flipstream helped do point scoring. Um, play testing. Flipstream did point scoring, play testing, more play testing, more play testing, um, and some rules balance. This is a timed mode, so I don't know why I'm trapped up, but to do jump, um, I have to hit a ramp. Oh my god. You do get a ball save. You do get a ball save on training. Come on, Manu. All right, you can backhand that. Nope. Oh my god. How terrible am I right now? What's up, O Greg? Guys, I seriously do I get time? No, I seriously can't hit anything right now. Okay.
To enter the matrix.
Good night everybody.
Never send a human to do a machine's job.
Hi, I'm back. [laughter] All right. Anyway, that's training. Good luck. [laughter] Don't suck like I do. Oh boy, that guy chat, what's up? Hello. You crushed I did. I did. I crushed it 20 minutes ago and I can't do it now. All right, skill shot. Let's talk about one one of the skill shots in the game is to hit the cat. If I hold the flipper, left flipper skill shot. Notice that the deja vu shot, which is the cat, lights up. Uh, how high a proof did you just fill your cup with? All right, let's try and do the skill shot. Whoa. Nope, we missed it. All right, Matrix is still ready. Uh, unfortunately, the progress to believe has been reset. What's up, passing? My best game of night is always the one before I start. Yeah, it is. Um, now if you notice what I just did there, there is a way to get a playfield multiplier. If you notice what I just did there, if you shoot this shot, make an amazing virtual demo game. Thank you for listening. If you shoot this shot around the chair loop, there's a chair loop and not notice there's a bunch of bullets that are wonderfully created by Astro. If you can get it all the way around here, you start to light your playfield multiplier. You have to do that three times though to fill up all your bullets here to get your playfield multiplier for 30 seconds. 2x playfield 30 seconds. If you could do it one more time in that 30 seconds, you get 3x for 30 and I'll tell you guys a little secret. Oh, a little secret. So, if you're watching the stream right now, if you're watching the stream right now, I'm going to give you a little secret. What did I do right then? Don't tell any of your friends that you're playing against. If you drain, if dodge this is lit and you drain right here and the ball goes here to dodge this. She says dodge this and it fires the ball back. But just before, but wait. But just before she fires the ball, hit the right flipper. It'll bring up this diverter and the ball and you'll direct the ball around to get another shot on that playfield multiplier. If you don't do anything, it goes up and around. Think of um Avengers. We took that from Avengers where you could direct the path of the Hawkeye shot. So the 25 people that are here right now, you know, now you know when she goes dodge this, if you wanted to go up and around, you can. But if you want to get that extra, hit that hit that right flipper. All right, dodge that. Pinstratz Dan doesn't know that. The fishbowl pinstrats Dan does not know that. I can kick Pinstraat's Dan's ass in points, but they can kick my ass. 31 people now know, [laughter] but they can kick my and Pinstraat Dan will probably find out now, but they will probably kick my butt. He will Dan will probably kick my butt in terms of progress, but I can kick his butt in points. I know all the secret point stuff. All right, so we're in the Matrix, and this is a Flipstream. That's Flipstream's favorite shot is the the Matrix shot where you have to shoot up to the phone booth. Um, what's up Paul? Welcome in. We're we're going over some more of this. How many matrix modes? There are one, two, three, four, five, six, seven matrix modes. Is that enough? There's seven of them plus three mini wizard modes. That's a lot of content, you guys. Um, all right. We're going to start with the first one, Trinity and Jam. But here's the trick about Matrix modes. I'll I'll do another full screen thing just so refer to this video when you're ready to play Matrix. Um, each mode, no wizard, right? I already told the master that it's going to release first time with no wizard and no score bit integration. So, if you complete three training modes and do all the matrix modes, your score is nearly 127 x. Okay. I don't know. I don't know. We're not going to do a deep deep dive, Lynn, but I'm just giving you overview. So, notice how you do pairs of characters, right? So, you have Neo and Trinity. You have Neo and Morpheus. You have Trinity and Morpheus. So, you do pairs of characters. If you can manage to do a triangle, it's just a wizard mode in no magic mode. If I can manage to do Trinity and Smith, Smith and Neo and Neo and Trinity, that'll make a triangle that'll open up a mini wizard mode. That opens up a mini wizard mode. Just letting you guys know, if you can complete a triangle. So this triangle here, one, two, three, that'll open up the the second rescue Morpheus. And one, two, three. That'll open up the third rescue Morpheus. All right, there you go. You're welcome. That's hint number two. Let's see how far I can get. Is there an expected uh release date? Christmas. That unfortunately uh Greg, it's it's when it's done. Um which shouldn't be that long. It really shouldn't. It really shouldn't. The fishbowl and I are ready to be done with [laughter] this. Trust me, I love it. I love playing it. I love it to death. But holy crap, we want to be [laughter] done. All right. All right. Let me do this matrix mode here. Um, who asked about red pill, blue pill? Take the blue pill. Normal difficulty, normal progress. You take the red pill, higher scoring and higher risk.
It's amazing, but my head hurts. Yes. Both our heads hurt a lot from doing [laughter] this. All right, so here's the only time where you pick red pill, blue pill. Basically, it's um game difficulty. And I break it down right now. You take the blue pill. Certain things happen. This might not This might actually get me away from dark chaos for a minute. No, no, no. Dark chaos rocks. Trust me, dark chaos rocks. But this this will this will be a good thing in between, right? You go do your dark chaos and then you come over and and you do uh this. The dark chaos really push push the I love these envelope pushing, you know, kind of things. All right, take the blue pill. Your ball will always release from the phone to the upper playfield. That gives you a chance to lock balls for Zion. Upgrade characters and it's a actually a really easy feed back to flipper. Oh, if you don't do something for a while, I think you get blue pill. So, I think I got blue pill. If you take the red pill, oh, also the agents won't show up very very quickly.
Um,
both pills for insane difficulty if you take the red pill. I'll do another game and we'll take the red pill. This this game is brute pill. Here we go.
All right, bullet time.
Somebody asked about a bullet time moment. Maybe I can get this orbit. See how bullet time is lit? So, now we're going to go Whoa! Oh, I want to stack up.
Yes. All right, let's go.
We're stacking here. We got Trinity and and Smith running 2x Playfield and Zion multiball. This should be huge. This should be huge. All right, I got to hit orbits for Zion Multiball, but at the same time, I have to hit my yellow shots. Get a free one. Got a free one. All right, let's see. Add a ball. Add a ball. There we go. Are you kidding me?
Okay,
I knew I couldn't have been done. Oh, here come the agents. It gets crazy quick, guys. Oh crap. All right, let me see if I can I got a hack. Oh, I got a hack, too. The fishbowl. This could be huge if I can pull it off. Okay, I got spoons. So, I'm going to keep this going with spoons.
I'll explain spoons later. Damn it. I can't hit that orbit. So, here's the thing. I got an orbit to hit.
One more to go.
One more to go. One more to go. Okay, everybody just calm down. My 2x is gone. Boom.
Boom. Oh, son of a gun. Give it. Give it. All right. That's okay. That's okay. I got one super. I'm in Zion frenzy right now. It's really hard to describe what's going on right now. Sorry. The game gets a little crazy after a while.
[laughter]
The game gets a little nuts. I'm still in Trinity Smith mode. I didn't complete Zion, but I already got another ball locked ready for Zion again. I've got pretty good value out of Zion. It helped me get through a little bit of the mode.
So, Tank is really excited right now about EMP multiball, which is another multiball I'm going to tell you about. This here, these drop targets are the agents, and they are really annoying because they will pop up in the middle of your mode.
Wow, my scores are 2xed. The fishbowl, do you see this?
Boom.
176 million for that. Look at that. 52. I think I got the Trinity Trinity in a jam. Um, high score right now with 52. I think I'm I'm going to see if I can lock another ball in Zion. To do Zion again, you have to lock three balls. And there it goes.
Do you believe in fate?
All right, we are we are trying to collect more rabbits. Any questions? [laughter] That was Zion Frenzy and I just kind of bailed on Zion Frenzy. See if I can lock another ball. We're going to EMP next. Now I can I can do training.
Hollywood Polo would like to know what you put in your mouth recently. Manu,
why is so many white rabbits Why is it so many rabbits to unlock matrix mode? Um, Hollywood, what's up? I had a wonderful uh buffalo chicken salad. Buffalo chicken salad. Two rabbits left. Flipstream. If I want to Let me see if I can I'm going to do something stupid. I'm going try to do training. Come on. Ball two. Let's do another matrix mode. So, flip stream if I want. There we go. Wait one more hit to um start training again. One more hit to start training again. Oh, boy. All right.
So,
if I want to, I can do sparring, which will reduce the number of white rabbits as you guys can see. So now it says so so
program
each each training program will give you some perks right
the agent program gives you a lap agent program gives you oh flipstream we added light extra ball to agent now so agent program gives you a spoon gives you a light extra ball gives you an agent shield gives you extended timers and gives you points this one is hard
jump program
jump program is not so hard
sparring
and yeah we did talk about that and um sparring will give you a reduced white rabbit. So, so for the rest of the game, you only have to shoot three instead of four. Very, if you complete a mode, you go from three rabbits to four. If you can do sparring, which we'll do right now. Let's do sparring. See if I can do it. Pinstrat Stan is really good at this. I'm going to keep saying Pinstrat Stan during this because they are amazing at this game.
Warning, mostly pirate. Thank you for the incoming to the mystery pinball theater.
Thank you for the raid.
Hello, raiders. Welcome to mystery pinball. We're playing the game out prepared just for you.
We're playing the game that's not out yet, which is which is Matrix. Okay, Morpheus is going to move. [ __ ] You son of a gun. He already dy ditched me. He already ditched me.
I know where he's going, though. He moves from left to right in the beginning.
No. Stop trying to hit me and hit me. I'm trying to hit you. No, no, no. That gave me two extra seconds, but that doesn't help me. Okay, let's Man, I suck at training.
Oh my god.
You think that's air you're breathing now?
Shut up. I suck at training. Flipstream. Why would you ask me to do that? [laughter] Stop trying to hit him and hit him. What does plus one spermatizo do? [laughter] I thought a sperm to zoa. Greg, it's a spoon. Astro Greg is making fun of your your icons. Oh, that sucked. I should not even listen to flip stream. I can do four rabbits. It's easy. But I just wanted to show off. Let's go back into the matrix. Plus one. What? [laughter] All right, let's go back in the main. What other things can I show you guys? Um, you know what I can try and show you is EMP multiball.
Neo upgrade complete.
Okay, we got a Neo upgrade.
We got a Neo upgrade. Look at these light shows. The fishbowl. Look at these light shows, man. They're sick, right? How sick are these light shows? Let's do EMP with a mode. Well, no. Let's just do EMP by itself. I'm going to hold the action button that launched an EMP. So, EMP multiball is fun. And we might put this in as a game you could play by yourself. Um, the three spinners charge your batteries. Once the batteries are charged,
multiball depleted. Let's charge them.
Once the batteries are charged, you have to hold the action button again to light the super jackpot. But you lose your flippers every time you do that. Notice the batteries and tank will give me the update of which ones are ready. So, it's middle shot, left orbit, and that really mean um inner loop. Oh my god, this is a tough challenge. But What's up, Mr. Harlo? Oh, well. All right. Batteries are fully charged. Batteries are fully charged. Batteries are fully charged.
It's a lot easier just to kind of concentrate and play. But I did get a
score.
What did I get?
Uh, this is this is going to flip stream. I'm just going to put FLP. Flipstream, you are now the Trinity and a Jam Champion. 52 million. Um, hello friends. My play received its first review and they said I was superb. Awesome, Mr. Harlock. You're superb to us already. You don't need to continue to be superb, but you can if you want. [laughter] Shall I play another one? Let's play another one. And I [snorts] can do some other stuff, too. What other stuff can I do in this game? I'm gonna try and start believe and deja vu jackpots. So, let's try that. Um, right now I'm the GC. That's a low G.
Come on. I ain't gonna bite you.
Come on. I ain't gonna bite you. That's a low GC. I'm support I'm assuming there will be VR support. Oh. Oh, Greg, you Oh my god, the VR support is insane. Um, if the fishbowl is here, uh, who was doing Dar Dog or what are what are their names? Um, it's uh, yeah, Dard Dog. Dard Dog. I'm just going to say Dard Dog. Dard Dog did an insane insanely cool VR room with two chairs. You're sitting in the dojo. The The game looks amazing. Um, and a shooter, a plunger of the thing that goes in the back of their head. [clears throat and laughter] It's really cool. I don't think it's practical at all. The fishbowl, I don't know if you're going to be able to make that shooter rod of the thing going in the back of the head, but it's pretty sick. So, if you do have VR, you're gonna you're in for a treat. Oh, and then the and the rabbit start button. It's a lot of really talented people helped um create this. Um so the uh the the the virtual the the the VPen workshop guys um never sleep on anything that they do. They put 150% behind everything that they do. And this is this is kind of standing on the shoulders of giants right now. So I really appreciate everything that everybody in that group has been doing. Um, there's nothing there's nothing about this table that isn't a Yeah, [laughter] because like I I I am honored to be in that like discord and to just hear those guys talk. I don't know what they're talking about, but when I hear them talk about this and that and they're like, "Oh, the wall and the structure and this and I'm just like, okay, whatever. As long as I can sit in the back and just eat popcorn like Michael Jackson and be like, I'm happy. Let's do one more game. I'm gonna do one more game and I'm gonna try and just play so you guys can just see how it looks when I'm playing this game.
Um,
all right. And then the next time you see this game, it'll be release.
Promise you. All right. So, what I usually do is I go for skill shot in the beginning. Okay, so Tank is telling me kind of what to do in the beginning.
Son of a gun. Just get control of the ball, man. Just just get control of the ball, Manu. Just get
Hey. Hey. By the way, I forgot to mention the hack shot, which um flipream. If you really don't want to shoot white rabbits,
glue meditation error. If you shoot under the flipper, you don't have to do any white rabbits. It clears all the white rabbits immediately. All right. So, if you can shoot under the flipper, you get you hack the game and you get no more white rabbits for you. At least not for this matrix mode. What's up? Uh Aldi Prime, how did you do the voices? It is AI. Okay, so here's the thing about the voices. All the actual voices we could use, we use actual voices from the movie. Anytime we have a clean audio from an actual character, we use those voices 100%. So, I would say there's like 75 to 80% actual voices. Now, Neo never said jackpot, right? Morpheus never said jackpot. Tank never said hold the action button to start EMP multiball. So, for those we do use um captures the captive.
Tank never said that in the movie, right? [laughter] So we are not I
I am of the belief that
AI should not be abused. It should be used where you think it should be used sparingly and with some talent, right? We didn't just throw AI in this a lot. So that's it. That's all I'm going to say about that. Like we obviously wanted the character voices, right? But only in the places where we needed a character to say something specific. I'm going to try and start believe mode, which is kind of like the Mandalorian's um ambush mode where you have to rapidly make shots otherwise Morphe uh Neo doesn't believe. So let's see. Let's see how far I get through this. Phil. Oh, how about how about not at all?
Damn it. Oh, Dr. Curly Tech, what's up? Haven't long time no see. Dr. like ambush where the objective is to hold the ball till it times out. Yeah, you could do that. You could do that. I'm trying to show it right now, but I I wouldn't do that. But you could do that. All right. Where am I at in believe? Let me see. It's like right there. Okay. I started over. V E L I V Oh man.
Taste your stink.
Oh. Well, might as well go for one more time. Might as well go for one more.
Oh, that was a good lock. multiball.
By the way, I forgot to even mention the Sentinel is a multiball. Forgot to mention that the Sentinel is a multiball. There we go. Okay, we're ready for believe. Boom. All right. Nothing. [laughter]
I couldn't make a single shot. Oh, I couldn't make a single shot.
Good luck, guys, doing that mode. It's a feature. It'll there for you if you want it.
Let's do Senator Multiball. Sentinel multiball is kind of nuts, too. Well, that'd be useful if I had white rabbits, but I don't. One more to lock. One more to lock. One more to lock. And lock. Son of a gun. No. No. Not on my stream. No. No.
You're stick.
Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. I'm not going out like that. [laughter] I'm not going out like I'm a better player than this. God damn. No, I can't. I can't use spoons. You You know, I'm not in the matrix. Let's explain spoons. Let's explain spoons.
Yeah, I wasn't in the matrix. I couldn't use spoon. [laughter] Flipstream is like we weren't in a mode. Hey to Fishbowl, you wrote this. We can't use spoons outside of the Matrix. All right, here we go. Here we go. Here we go. white jackpot.
In the beginning of the game, you are given two spoons. You're given two spoons. Notice it says on the right side, on the left side says spoons, two, but you can't use them right now because you're not in the matrix. You can use you can use spoons in the matrix. Um, and all a spoon is is there's a magnet at the bottom of the table that catches the ball and will throw it back.
It's good to know how to live catch or drop catch.
We found him.
White rabbis confirmed. Uh, let's do I don't think we I don't think I've ever done extraction, which is uh Morpheus and Neo, but I'll show you spoons in this mode. All right, and this time we'll do red red pill. All right,
we take the blue pill, normal difficulty, normal progress.
Now, red pill,
higher scoring and higher risk.
Like I said, blue pill feeds the ball up here. The agents take longer to come out, and you don't get a bonus. You don't get a red pill bonus at the end of the mat. At the end of the ball red pill, the ball will feed here, not at the upper flippers. The the agents will pop up faster during the mode. So, if you take a long time in the mode, the agents will pop up faster. You also get a red pill bonus uh and a ball bonus. How would you know the difference?
I did do the I did do the Morpheus Force. [laughter] I'm all about the Morpheus voice. Terry, what's up, Terry?
Got the first shot.
No. No.
Boom. That's huge. Look at that. The fishbowl. 2.4. I'm going to finish this mode. The fishbowl. I'm just going to finish this mode. I'm going speedrun through this mode right now. Oh. That's a spoon right there, guys. So, what I just did, the ball was going to drop down the middle. I hit the action button. There is no spoon. And the little spoon boy threw the ball back up on the on the table for me. Now, the the uh the spinners are lit right now. The spinners are lit for the crazy back mode thing. Oh. So, I'm going to try and Okay, I'll take this spoon. Ram man. The Ramman training paid off. I was using Ramman like crazy. Boop. All right, let's get this. Oh, I got a lock. Nice. I'll take that. All right, middle.
Well, look, you could spoon, but you still have to save the ball. So, there's the there's the lesson there. [laughter] I use up all my spoons now. Um, I've got no more spoons. But
I don't remember asking you a goddamn thing.
[laughter]
But what I can do is I can go training to get another spoon. Training modes will get you more spoons. But that's basically that. So that was a really good example of how to use spoons in a mode and how to fail a mode again. Um let's see if I can get Sadel started and then we'll call it a night. But um and and the fishbowl gets to watch me fail constantly in this game. cuz they get to see me uh see me play test it all the time.
All right.
Ball one lock. Sentinel is probably the hardest multiball to start.
Sentinel is probably You can see the squiddies show up on the top of the screen. We're going to get Squiddy Ball three and then see if we can uh start Sentinel. Now, if you don't want to train, which I don't want to do right now,
I'm going to hold both flippers Hold both flippers and it cancels the training.
Um, I think you saw that the fishbowl, but here we go.
All right. For sentininal multiball, you have to kill You have to get rid of all of them. There's still three remaining because I haven't gotten a single jackpot. There's one.
There's two. Oh boy. For every There's a There's a That was it. Oh my god, guys. Talk about sucking. That was it. That was my whole sentinal multi. What else can I show you terribly? What else can I show you that I'm really bad at?
Let's do one more mode.
I'm going in. [snorts]
Oh my god. Oh my god. I I I Let's do one more. Somebody name a character in stream. Somebody name a character. Somebody just name one of the characters in the stream. Skip to Mini Whiz. Oh, you want me to do that? Neo. Oh. Uh, defishbowl is the is the is the the way to do it? Let's do that. Neo. Let's do Neo. Let's do Neo Smith. Dishbowl. Is it it can I still skip to a mini wizard mode? This is not going to be in the release version, you guys, though. This is still the uh the dev version. So, I could probably skip to a mini wizard mode and show you guys.
Okay, let me see if I can bullet time this though. Here we go. Bullet time. [laughter] got to hit an orbit. You got to hit a bullet time shot. Oh my god. Spoon.
No spoons. All right, we're going to skip to a mini wizard mode cuz Manu can't play pinball right now. Um, Steady, what's up? I'm being terrible at my own game. [laughter] I don't want to show you guys everything. I don't want to show you guys everything. I don't want to show you guys anything. All right. So, I got to do I forget. I'm doing fine. All right, let's do AMP then. I'll try and do EMP.
A custom sound has been redeemed. Congratulations.
See if I can get the um get all the batteries charged. That one battery is super hard. I cannot hit that freaking battery, man. [snorts] That one battery is really crazy hard. There we go.
Middle's fully charged. Oh my god. All right. I couldn't do it.
That's impossible.
I have to get inside Zion and you have to tell me how.
I need a pilot program for a B2ic.
Okay. What I want to do is I want to show um I want to show Rescue Morpheus part one. I want to show Rescue Morpheus part one. So, let's [snorts] do that and then we'll end it. So, Rescue Mor Res Rescue Morpheus part one is the first of the three mini wizard modes. There's the first triangle, second triangle, third triangle. We're going to go to Rescue Morpheus part one. We're gonna skip to it using a dev
a dev function right now. Um,
no one has ever done anything like this.
All right. So, this is rescue Morpheus
part one. If I can get the ball in there. There we go. So, this is a wizard mode.
Mini wizard mode.
Holy [ __ ]
So, the way this works is you have to hit each shot three times. Yeah, no kidding. Each shot three times it is a fourball multiball with a pretty good ball save. It's basically a cash grab. So you can see And I'm doing really bad. But at least I'll get a score. What do I got left? What I got left? Oh crap. Can I spoon? I can't spoon in this. This will spot me. I think this will No. Oh boy. I only got two balls lay. Go, go, go. Notice I have no shots to the to the loop over here.
Am I going to complete this? Maybe. Reduce deja [snorts] vu loops. Thanks, Oracle. Thanks for nothing, Oracle. Here we go. No, no, no. A That's it. I am now a nervous wreck. [laughter] That's my bonus for that. Get for doing that. That was my bonus for doing that. [snorts] Oh my god. Thank you for the What was that? Oh, Sigma Heavy Industries, thank you for the follow. Um, I think I'm going to call it now. Yeah, I'm going to call it now. So, Guys, thank you for your patience for waiting for us to get this game uh released. Um, like I said, it's going to be [laughter] it's going to be it's a lot of work, but it's so much fun. And hopefully you guys don't get this table rocks. Hopefully you guys you don't get uh discouraged with uh waiting for us to get this out. But we want to we want to give you a game that's, you know, 99% bug free. But, you know, even if there is a bug, you probably won't know what it is because it'll probably be a scoring thing or something like that. Thank you. Uh, the Fishbowl, great job. You guys give it up for the Fishbowl cuz come on, the concept of this game, the coding of this game. The Fishbowl is the one who gave you Batman 66, Guardians of the Galaxy, Iron Maiden, um, and a bunch of other things. You guys kind of can we just throw some love in there for the Fishbowl because they work really really hard. There's like over 30,000 lines of code in here. There's there's there's pinball love in here. There's grace periods in here. There's there's virtual locks. There's real locks. There's it's it's insane. Someday, man. I'll fix my custom sound. Today is not that day. [laughter] I'm sorry. But yo, seriously, like like there's too much to even say like there's it's there's not enough to say about how Phil, bro, I don't know how you do it. I'm serious. I don't know how you do it. I don't know how you take a garbage language like VB script whatever and turn it into a [ __ ] playable ridiculous monster game. So you're almost as good as Terry Red Phil. You're almost You work a little harder and you could get to sit in first class with Terry. Right now we're in coach. [laughter] We're like Terry, how's the drinks up there? Oh, drinks are good. You should check it out sometime. All right, maybe. And then the girl closes the curtain and we're like, "Oh, damn." All right, [snorts] I guess uh I guess we'll watch our phones for the rest of the flight. [laughter] Just see that redhead. So, yeah. So, seriously, honestly. Right. All right. Um I'm gonna throw this one up on Terry's a god. Yeah, definitely. Terry does all this [ __ ] by himself. [laughter] With that, I'll call it and let you guys go. Uh, next time you see Ginger God, next time you see Matrix on my stream, it'll be a release. Hopefully, me and Isaiah will be here playing a two-player game, uh, cranking on it while you guys are at home cranking on it. And we will see you. Bye, guys. [laughter]
