TL;DR

SWFOTE v0.85 stream showcases Darth Vader modes and character-specific gameplay mechanics.

Summary

Raymond Davidson and Andrew Wilkening stream Star Wars: Fall of the Empire v0.85, showcasing new Darth Vader modes accessible via in-lanes and scoop, along with newly added Yoda and Obi-Wan character modes. The stream demonstrates gameplay mechanics including mode stacking, multiplier building, and the Frozen in Carbonite mode, while discussing design choices like spinner-based progression and difficulty balancing.

Key Claims

  • Darth Vader modes are now accessible via in-lanes to light mystery and scoop to start

    high confidence · Andrew Wilkening explains at stream beginning: 'the Darth Vader modes are done on the in lanes So that'll light your mystery, but now it'll also light your Darth Vader modes And those are also started at the scoop as well'

  • Yoda modes build using spinners, with both orbits containing spinners but only one lit at a time

    high confidence · Discussion about Yoda mode progression: 'Yoda builds his modes with the spinners' and clarification that 'Only one spinner's lit at a time'

  • Over 70 achievements exist in current code

    medium confidence · Raymond states: 'I think we're past 70 achievements now already' while playing

  • Luke mode is doubled during Yoda modes except for final cash-out shot

    high confidence · Andrew explains: 'Luke is doubled during the mode. Not for the final cash-out. Okay, but every other one? Yeah'

  • Pro and Premium versions differ in timing requirements for certain shots

    medium confidence · Regarding a magnet timing mechanic: 'Like Life Ring on Jaws? Yes. Yeah, on the Pro it would, you would have been okay. But on the Premium you gotta, you gotta time it.'

And I think we're just going to start, and we can kind of talk about things as we get them. All right. So the big thing in this release is Darth Vader modes. So how do we get those, Andrew? Yep, so the Darth Vader modes are done on the in lanes So that'll light your mystery, but now it'll also light your Darth Vader modes And those are also started at the scoop as well Alright, so I want return lanes That's right So your ramps will help you get those You can do alley passes It gets interesting with the pop bumpers in the mix, but it can be done There's something alive in here. All right.
1:02
And this is a Leia mode. All right. You started at the right ramp. Whoa. All right, so I got one spelling of return lane, so you can see my Darth Vader is now kind of glowing. That kind of indicates the mystery is lit. Yeah.
1:18
Ooh. So that one other return lane. Now, you can't play Darth Vader while you're doing something else, but you can see it's now dimly lit as well. Okay, so let me just finish this trash compactor scene.

    technology_signal: Attract mode enhancements and new light show effects added in v0.85; improved motor effects on AT-AT mechanism

    medium · Andrew mentions adding attract mode and AT-AT motor effects; improved lighting visible during stream gameplay

    • 1:33
    I love this scene. It's like one of my favorite scenes. Yeah, and the layout modes are special because the pop bumpers are a lot more involved. And they're double points on their level. Okay. So each of the characters has a little personality in their mode shots. Yep.
    1:55
    So I can either hit the Leia ramp or I can go for this. All right, let's go for the... All right, all right.
    2:05
    All right, we got our Jedi. We got our Jedi. Let's boost Leia here a little bit. Oh, we can just keep... I like that. Leia... Oh, we got a big shot lit.
    2:16
    Yep, and so shot doubler is lit. Final shot of the mode is lit. Oh, that'll be good if I can hit it.
    2:22
    Looks like that'll be 12 million, give or take. How many? Oh, I got 18 seconds. Yeah, you got all the time in the world. All right, all right, all right. All the time in the world. Well, if I keep missing it, though. Oh, my. Oh, there goes the doubler. My shot multiplier. That's a good shot to have it on, though. Yeah. Oh, there. Now I nail it. Yeah.
    2:40
    All right, that's some more achievements. So we got more achievements in this code. Filling out those pretty well. Yeah, I think we're past 70 achievements now already.
    2:51
    Alright, we got Darth Vader ready to go. Just a ski pass away. Alright. Ooh! Not to mention the challenging scoop shot.
    3:08
    I think I overcompensated. Yeah? No, no, you're just working on your ion cannon. That's true. Alright, what do we got here? So let's get our mystery award.
    3:20
    Probably, uh... Ooh! Hey, that'll help you out. Okay. So now all the shots are going to be lit for different Vader modes. Oh, wow. So whatever I hit will start a different mode. Oh, and I got... Oh, the time's running out. I better pick one.
    3:35
    Uh... I said I better pick one. There we go. So this one is actually the in-lanes. Oh, okay. So the ramps are all lit and the Luke Valk are lit. Oh, but hey, we'll take an in-lane.
    3:47
    yeah oh no well you know what we'll tease that if you want to see more Vader well in the Vader modes are kind of like Vader's very stubborn so it's usually just one or two shots that you're just nailing over and over again to try and you know chew through it and you can also go back into the scoop if you want to make it worth more right exactly let's see who's last one Go. I'm just really eager to play. All right.
    4:22
    Just looking at it. It's beautiful. It's so pretty. It's beautiful. Yeah, actually, Andrew added a great attract mode. I guess you might have saw it for a second at the beginning. Okay.
    4:34
    Yeah, more light shows on the way. Okay. That was just a test to make sure everything's working right. It's all right. We got it. Oh, look at that.
    4:45
    The pop bumpers by the slings definitely make it a... Okay. That's too Yomi. Whoa. There we go. We also added Yoda and Obi-Wan.
    5:08
    It's alright, you got the ramp up. I swear I'm better than this. It's okay, it's okay. Let's see. So when Andrew lights a force mission, he's probably going to go for one of the orbits. Yeah, I'm going to go see if we can't find one of our Jedi Master friends.
    5:29
    Jedi spirits? Spoilers. Oh, wow. Who needs a tilt, Bob? It's in there. I don't know about that. All right. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
    5:45
    I'll put it back Well you know what I'll play the Luke mode And I'll play another one after that Sounds good Oh there now you nailed the orbit Right of course Absolutely crushed it Well I need those for my ball save anyway Didn't quite nail that You know the jump ramp has a sweet spot Because it's a jump ramp Gotta make the jump First you have to not hit the targets but you got your spinners charge up your Jedi ball safe so when you spell J and E you can kind of nudge it and then when you spell Jedi it'll grab it full strength oh nice on the fly backhand you got the stormtrooper going that'll give you a bonus X did I get it there? No. Alright let's go hit that it's a tough target though to hit. Oh there's Orbit that pop bumper shielded it. Yeah the pop bumper's kind of guarding it Yeah.
    6:47
    Alright, that lit your Falcon right away, so you can see his Falcons blinking. Oh, ship it. There you go.
    6:53
    We'll beat this Luke mode, no problem. No problem. Oh, I think your Stormtrooper walked away on you. Yeah, they wandered off to go miss a different target for a while.
    7:14
    Alright, see if you can get two balls looping in the super. Oh. There you go. Well, not quite. Interference. There you go. Oh man, well. Let's see if I can beat the moat. Wow, you've already caught up to me pretty quick here. Yeah, the moat's gonna be pretty good if you do the build shots, work your doublers, the double doubles. Double double. Animal style. Whoa.
    7:45
    Well, it's not... There it is. There we go. Wow, 24 million. That's double-double. Holy moly. Don't make me nerf my modes, man. Come on. I like these single-ball points. Wow, you could play another Luke mode and it would be even more than that. Even better. Well, having those doublers there, because Luke also works with the droids well. Oh.
    8:10
    alright let's see if I can oh look at that so there is one on the Luke shot since I have a doubler there we're gonna oh no it hit the stormtrooper target so we're gonna try to beat that one I have a lack of faith in your ability to beat this mode hey come on alright so you gonna juice it up here by hitting the Vader scoop that right the Vader scoop will build a multiplier You should see it on the info at the bottom Yeah Hey we take those
    8:39
    And of course, an iconic scene. Oh yeah. This, uh, were they Force Choke, or...? Yeah. Okay, we're up to 3x for our Vader mode. So this is what I'm saying, is you just gotta be stubborn. Uh-huh. You're hitting one shot or the other shot, and that's just how you get to the end. And it's pretty big points. I assume the scene's almost done. Yep, and that'll do it. Oh, wow.
    9:05
    Now... Yeah, tell us what happens now. So, since I beat evader mode this ball, now I've got that purple shot that's just going to travel around for the rest of my ball and give me dark side points.
    9:17
    And it's based on my scoring from that mode and from all my evader modes this game. So we'll go smack that. Of course, the Falcon Progress covered it up. And you can't... You might not be able to hear it with us jibber-jabbering, but that Vader mode was playing the iconic James Earl Jones lines. Very, very fun to walk through those scenes.
    9:40
    Oh, this is a new mode in this code as well, Frozen in Carbonite. That's right. How's it going, buddy? You're being put into carbon freeze.
    9:48
    You're being put into carbon freeze. So you'll have that dark side just kind of going on in the background here? That's right. And it's kind of tucked away. There's a lot going on, so I probably won't see it. But you'll be able to get it. But I'll probably go and get it.
    10:02
    Let's see. Oh, yeah, try to get your AT-AT super. I think I added some more effects to your motor. Oh, and you got the doubler. I got doublers on the super and the double jackpot. Oh, boy. Yeah, we're in a good spot. I think Andrew knows how to play this game.
    10:25
    Now the problem is I might time out my mode here, because it is a level 3 mode, so it's only got one or two progress shots usually. Oh, okay. So I'm going to have a tough time sneaking that in there. There we go. Did I save it? I might have timed it out. Yeah, it's gone. Aww. But my dark side now, you can see it on the left orbit, that purple shot, which is hanging out with me. Just casually, absolutely destroying here. Yeah, let's go check in with our droid target, because that's a double... It's just a double-double. Oh, no. We're going to add a ball. Oh, nice. There we go. What's that? Oh, the stormtroopers covered it up.
    11:12
    All right, super's lit. Oh, my gosh. That was fancy. 96. Yes. We'll take those. I guess you probably couldn't hear it, but I felt the shaker. Yeah, no, it's going off.
    11:28
    What's that, 12? I like that. Do we need, like, a mercy rule here? This is getting nasty. Yeah, let me leave this multiball. Let's go see what else we can go do. Oh, hey, some balls exited for you. Well, I've got one hanging out. Oh, in the Sarlacc face? Yeah, held up there.
    11:47
    All right. That's my last chance. So at the end of Battle of Hoth, you just get that last chance shot every time. And having a doubler on it never hurts. Wow. Let's see if I can find an orbit here. I should have logged into your game here.
    12:09
    Well, that one was coming back, and I sent it out. Thank you. There's just a couple of points here and there. Okay. And we have a pretty good bonus now. Various things in the game. Darth Vader modes. Yep.
    12:27
    And let's see. I don't know if I ever got... Yeah. I don't know if you had any bonus multiplier. I don't think I did.
    12:36
    So you get the bonus... Draw points. Bonus multiplier from the... Collecting Stormtrooper hurry-ups. That's right. Ooh, I can stack this with Falcon. Let's go.
    12:50
    Let's hit the shot cleanly, though. You gotta really... Yeah. Make the jump to light speed. Gotta hit it.
    13:03
    Oh, man. Am I about to... lose this mode? It's tricky. It's a pretty tight timer. I think I'm gonna have to loosen it up a little bit. But if you do hit those, it'll give you some time back. Okay. Yeah, I think... Did that add any time? That needs the Sarlacc. That did add a little time.
    13:23
    That... Nice, you're on to the next phase. Okay, did that add more time? Yeah, so that'll reset your timer, I think. Let's go! Woo!
    13:31
    So now you're looking for the Luke shot, and then... I forget what the last... Like, the one before... This will be a pretty rare achievement if I beat this, I would assume. Oh, so you're in the final phase. Okay. So that flashing shot is worth extra points. It's the final phase now. Or you can build the value in the pit. Uh, can I green green green green green? No. No dice. Last second add a ball would be cool. Yeah, looking for those spins. Alright, you've got a risky choice to make. Oh! And you made it. I made the risky choice and paid the price. And you made the price.
    14:06
    Time to do some serious damage. Andrew, can you just say that I've done okay on this game before? before you've seen it. Battle League is the best pinball ever. Oh, well, that's a bit of a stretch.
    14:19
    Yeah, I played this the other day, and I got, like, five-something, and I was like, I feel really good about that. Now that I'm on camera, it's probably not going to happen, but anything's possible.
    14:43
    I suggest you start one Ooh, there we go. We started an Obi-Wan mission. We were trying to do that and we got distracted.
    14:51
    Oh, does this have the famous line of I know him, he's me? That's right, and hello there. The famous line, hello there. Maybe, yeah, it's iconic.
    15:06
    Might as well Star Wars family guest. That's not true. Oh, come on. Yeah, you got your magnet. I don't like when C-3PO tells me what to do. What about you guys? That's actually King. Nobody likes him. He's easier to kill. Tell us about that.
    15:44
    Ah, Mystery Award. Ooh, Lightning. Yeah, I see the multiplier's blinking. Oh, Advanced Falcon. What does that mean? Oh, nice.
    15:55
    Oh, I even remembered to not spoil the Mystery Award. So do you notice the Falcon didn't start blinking until after Advanced Falcon? A little too fast there.
    16:04
    Let me tell you, these plot bumpers, right by the slings that kind of do the same thing. A challenge it is.
    16:22
    What happens if this times out? Can it? Oh. All right, well, don't worry about that. We started the multiball. What happens if I hit this Vader scoop while I'm in this multiball? Nothing. It's just kind of reminding you that you'll have it lit afterward.
    16:43
    Not always locked. Alright, super jackpot's lit. Nice. Hit the button hit the button Oh I never had that work for me Not once Gotta time it But it went it was like immediately as it went down You gotta time it when it bounced Oh, it's gotta be, damn it. See, I'm thinking, oh, it hit the switch, I'm good to go. Oh, like Life Ring on Jaws? Yes. Yeah, on the Pro it would, you would have been okay.
    17:23
    But on the Premium you gotta, you gotta time it. That's my ball. I wanted it. Alright. Oh, I wonder if I plunge it slow enough, if I can do the board stuff where I start my Yoda mode.
    17:38
    Oh, that might do it. That might do it. Oh! Oh, programmed too well. Programmed too well. You got the Stormtrooper skill shot, though. That's good. Yeah, I'm working towards my get all 11 skill shots in one game achievement. Yeah, I don't know if anyone's ever going to get that. That's going to be nuts. Someone will get there. Maybe we should have made it like 10 out of 11. Oh, okay, so this time when you get to see the scene, you're not stuck in jail forever.
    18:04
    Uh, oh, are you talking? Yeah, this mode is a little familiar, I suppose. Alright, the mask. Wow. Ominous.
    18:20
    Alright, let's see if we can get this one. Yeah, we can do it on the right, just not on the left. I'm always learning something new about the game that I've been spending all my time on.
    18:30
    There you go. That bonus axe will be big, actually. Oh! So now they're going to start clashing their swords so you can just smash these pop bumpers a bunch.
    18:42
    Five million. You get it. Oops. oh I see the pops are the build shots that's devious oh it's also the death star well I gotta build up my value but only the blue shot adds time right I think the white shots might add like a second or two and the blue one should reset you back up to like yeah 25 or so oh you think I'll get this on the plunge again oh choice oh wow super duper skill shot Alright, let's go up and around and then hopefully we can finish this.
    19:28
    Who's scruffy looking? Final shot is lit. Do you think this backhand's still here? Uh-oh. Not if I miss. Why do you want the right ramp so badly? Oh, because I want to light my Minoc Volte Ball on my Mystery Awards.
    19:43
    Oh, no! Oh! That would have been a nice collect there. Covered some ground. And a big bonus coming, I would assume.
    19:55
    Let's see. It's fine. I didn't want to spoil the ending. Right. It's a pretty important scene. We might need to speed up this. I don't know how many... I mean, you can skip it, obviously, but there you go. All right. I guess I did have a doubler, then. Well, yeah, you got a Stormtrooper award.
    20:10
    Straight into fixed C-3PO. All right. And so, we haven't seen it yet, but Yoda builds his modes with the spinners. Chewbacca builds his modes with the Sarlacc Piff. okay so you get to spin around up there a bunch little little build up there I say yeah there we go so if I can survive this mode and light another mode I'll try to um do some Yoda yeah I'll also go wander over that way that left orbit's a tough shot
    20:49
    Now, could you technically shoot the right? Once you start Yoda, you could shoot either orbit to build, right? Because there's spinners on both orbits? Only one spinner's lit at a time. But you could shoot either orbit to spin both spinners. Right. You'll get more spins, right, with indirect. Physics. Yeah, he's parking all the balls in the solid. I got my attaball lit.
    21:13
    This is a pretty healthy mode. You're up to already 12 million shots, or 12 million points. I'm backwards.
    21:22
    All right, so now actually I can hit the force targets in multiball and have a mode lit when I come out of it. Yep.
    21:33
    There we go. All right, whatever. I'm over it. I don't even know. Last chance. All right. I think it is lit. Let's see. Oh, he's got it. Oh yeah, the eyes. The eyes are low.
    21:53
    Ray, you can't talk about the eyes. I'm just joking. Alright, let's see if we can start a Yoda mode.
    22:02
    Oh! I think it was too far away from the... I got an extra ball, though. Yeah, no problems. Alright. That did use one of my Jedi flings, so... Yeah, you need the spinners anyway. Alright, here we go. Nice nudge.
    22:25
    Oh, we get to meet Yoda. How ap- No! Woo! It did the thing. Alright, so Yoda modes are special because, yeah, spinners, so you can- Can you just keep hitting the spinners, or- They progress through the same as the other build shots. Okay. I mean, if you loop it quickly enough, you may or may not be able to just go to forever. Oh, there you go. Okay. Yeah.
    22:59
    The thing I like about the spinners building is that I don't have to actually hit the shot. I just have to hit the spinner. That's true. A little more tolerance. Uh-oh. Hurry.
    23:14
    Oh, I see. So only the right spinner is building there. Yeah. There it goes. There we go. Yeah, and so one of Yoda's other perks is that Luke is doubled during the mode. Not for the final cash-out. Okay, but every other one? Yeah, for the rest of the mode. Fancy. Fancy.
    23:40
    This is the final cash-out. Hey, Luke's getting impatient. Okay. I'm missing There we go Take you to him, I will We're wasting our time He's got to follow his own path No one can choose it for him Oh, hyperspace drain We'll show you that next time Okay I'd really like to get some ball control so I can see what I have laid out and you guys can maybe walk me through. All right. It's a bit of a stretch, but I think we can do it. Oops. Sorry. It's all good? I'm very used to that on my bed. Okay. Here we go.
    24:38
    All right. So you hopped multi-ball. It's probably your best route here. Just three shots to the green lock lights on the left.
    24:47
    Nice. Can all the Jabba events stack with multiball? Yep. Okay, so you can do that, I was just going to say. Start a Jabba thing.
    24:58
    Andrew said Jabba's Palace is good, so I'm choosing that. Okay. Just go nuts. Yeah. Shoot everything and then hit the drop target one more time. I want to have multiball going. I didn't realize you had to hit three shots to raise the drop target. That's four. Yeah. It's a lot. Oh, yeah
    25:14
    But it starts getting pretty juicy if you keep at it and this one doesn't end right correct this one
    25:22
    And it did actually go forever on one of the bugs but that's I did something for the focus we gave it to her and then she focused She locked in Nice Look at that Now you just ripping everything Everything's still all the time. Oh, man. This is a good stack. I like this.
    25:55
    It does get a little harder, though, because you need unique shots to progress. Right. Oh, God. It's horrible.
    26:15
    Oh, last chance super. Where's the super? The Luke. Where's the Luke? Two, one. Oh, dear. I can't bear to watch.
    26:31
    That was a long zero second race period there. I think because the ball was... It was paused. The timer was paused.
    26:53
    How many more? Two more shots? Five, four, three, two, one. Are you warm? It's okay. Sorry. It was more like a... Darn it.
    27:11
    Let's all wave at Joe in the editing room. I'm just kidding. Alright, what do I... Death Star? For old time's sake? Yeah, why not?
    27:23
    I guess I could activate my dark side scoring again before that. I had a friend in Seattle that would say every time he woke up in the morning before work He'd play as Daddy Star Wars and blow up the Death Star to start the day.
    27:37
    A friend from Seattle. I don't know if he actually did it, but he probably did it a couple times, you know. But, I mean, that would be a great way to start your day, right? Yeah. Blowing up the Death Star. I might have interrupted my Darth Vader-ing here.
    27:52
    We'll have to see what mystery award I get. You might get the Minox. If I can hit the shot. What a note to end on Backhand almost worked there That would have been cool Alright Let's see, do you get the Minox? It's still flashing me, I bet it's Minox You did already win this game Well yeah, I'll drain out Do we want to show off another Vader mode? No, let's see if we can get to the ten shots here. Oh, gosh.
    28:35
    Call order. It's just very difficult because all the balls want to be in the same spot all the time.
    28:51
    And that is in the drain. I like that light effect when you hit. Yeah, that's cool. Oh. None for the road. Ooh, Ion Cannon. This could be good with a Vader mode. That's right. Because Vader modes are very focused on one shot, so if you have an Ion Cannon, you can really capitalize.
    29:11
    Oh, what was that sorcery? What's my favorite Vader mode? I don't know if I have a favorite. Oh, you know what? Well, it doesn't matter. You're playing the pop-up. We're playing Grand Moff Tarkin. So this one's easy. What makes you think so? It's dangerous, but it's easy. The last time I felt it was in the presence of my old master. Let's see if we can double it There we go We'll let the pot bumpers take care of it Oh wow, so just by hitting that one Vader scoop Your entire mode is like double Yep, let's see if we can go triple Oh no, and I think I'm running out of shots Yep, okay So let's get out of here, maybe And now if I do pull this off I get my purple arrow back and that's the combined total of the two modes and it's like a low percentage but that shot then is going to be worth more points than before alright look at that, dark side scoring almost 4 million and a death star multiply what do you think, should we call it here?
    30:22
    uh, you gotta blow up the death star oh, ok, ok but I didn't bring any combos with me, so this is going to be tough. Actually, yeah, you don't have any rebel yellow shots to help you progress through the multiball. Yeah, but I have played a lot of modes, so a lot of my jackpots are doubled. I've got a ball hanging out up there. Oh, that's in a fun spot. Where is it? It's stuck. Let's see if we can... Oh, there it goes. You got it. It's free!
    30:47
    Just needed a little help from his friends. So I've got my doubler on my droid's target. So ideally we're hitting something and then droids again. So we can double everything. You gotta put a tripler on the loop shot. Oh, that's true. The nice thing about everything being lit is that everything is lit. What a good tautology. The tautology is a... oh, and that's not good. Well that's a shame. You're a shame. Hey. How you doing, Chewbacca? Still hanging around this loop? Darkseid. Yeah, just play Darkseid until you die. Oh, yeah, just chase Darkseid down. Oh, hyperspace. Hey! Go for a big hyperspace. All right, we'll see you. Yeah. Wish I had a shot multiplier to drop over on Leia. Oh, yeah.
    31:35
    Actually, your ion cannons are flashing red. You know what that means? Oh, yeah, I think. That means we shoot for them and we drain. Well, don't shoot for it yet, because you need to... Oh, that's true, because I'll put it then on the middle.
    31:47
    Oh, no. I got distracted. Okay. What's my time at? 13 seconds? All the time in the world Alright, you might want to cash out soon Let's see if we can find a pop bumper There you go, okay So now right ramp Here we go Oh, wait No That would have been Oh, now you hit it, yeah, of course No It was like timed out right as you shot it That's actually exactly what happened the last time I went for that Well now I'm building up my combos Yeah let's see This dark side should be doubled on droids Oh but of course we lit the lock So we don't see it Oh You got uh Your dark side still going to play another Vader mode Increase your dark side even more Well so I know this Falcon mode has some good shots So that should be good That should be good Let's go Sarlacc.
    32:53
    Whoa. Oh, that's scary. Oh, yeah. Okay. Chewbacca. Let's see. So now the final shot is either... It's any of those three shots, but the Death Star is worth the most. Eh, I want the Han combo. That'll be easier. There you go. And there's a time bonus, too. Oh. It's a space station. Oh, that's smooth.
    33:18
    Oh, well, wow. Pretty happy with that. Is it going to ask you to put your initials in? I would think so. Oh, you should have a big bonus here. Is it going to ask me to put my initials in? Probably not. Maybe. It might. You might have got Jabba the Palace. You never know. Yeah. Look at that. There you go. Enter your initials, friend. Oh, Yoda champion. Hey man, that's my default. Come on. Hey.
    33:47
    Player three. That's me. Obi-Wan champion. That's no moon. Alright, well, that'll do it. That was fun. Good job, everybody. Thanks, yeah. catch you later go play some star wars do it
