Happy Halloween! We hope you all have fun plans for the weekend! Shipments of our latest P3 game kit, Portal, are well underway, and we’re enjoying all of the wonderful feedback from early customers and recent show attendees. While the production volume ramp has been measured, all remaining batch 1 game kit orders should ship in the next couple of weeks, and remaining batch 1 machine orders should be completed a week or so after that. We expect to start reaching out to batch 2 customers later in November. For those not active in the Multimorphic Discord discussion group (join via https://discord.gg/GuKGcaDkjd), where we commonly provide informal updates, we recently released new versions of all of the P3 system apps. Those include Launcher (2.5.5.0), System Manager (3.5.0.0), and Diagnostics (2.4.2.0). We recommend installing each of them before installing the Portal app and Portal module driver, both of which are feature-complete. We started the project with the goal to release complete code when the first playfields shipped, and we’re excited to see you all enjoying the full Portal experience immediately upon installing the game. Speaking of P3 experiences, Deluxia Studios recently released Nezzex City, the 27th game (!!!) available for the P3. Nezzex City is playable on the Heist playfield module, making it the 10th game playable on Heist and another incredibly unique and immersive experience! At $179, it’s an amazing value and gives Heist owners another way to enjoy the P3 and Heist game kit that they already own. Bird Watcher is another add-on game that plays on Heist (and all existing P3 playfield modules), and Ian Harrower Games just released a Bird Watcher update (2.0.0.0) to add more content, along with support for the Portal playfield module. The best value in the pinball industry continues getting better and better! Check out the full matrix of games and compatible playfield modules here: P3 Game Matrix We’re incredibly excited to welcome Kevin Manne to the Multimorphic team to help with corporate communication and community engagement! Many of you already know Kevin as the co-founder of Buffalo Pinball, a podcaster, and a pinball streamer, and we’ve enjoyed having him stream the gameplay reveals of all of our latest games. Now that he’s officially on the team, we’re looking forward to him helping grow awareness of and enthusiasm for the P3. I will continue sending these public updates myself, but Kevin’s presence will be felt immediately if you follow us on social media (please do – Kevin’s got all kinds of plans for contests and giveaways to thank you for your support). He’ll also be streaming Portal gameplay this Sunday, Nov 2nd with Portal software developer, Ian Harrower. Tune in via twitch.tv/buffalopinball or youtube.com/@multimorphic. We’re hoping to see many of you in a couple of weeks at the Houston Arcade Expo (Nov 14-16). Please come by, play Portal, Final Resistance, and The Princess Bride, and chat with Stephen Silver, Brad Albright, and me about all things P3 and pinball! We’ll be presenting a seminar about the development of Portal As always, we’re humbled by your support, and we appreciate you giving us the opportunity to create evolved pinball experiences for you. – Gerry Stellenberg Multimorphic, Inc.
