Lot of colors. Started the download now. Comments soon.

Very good job!
The last version I played ran kinda slow on my pc, this version ran nicely.
Got the chick in her undies, but at the second table she put her dress back on . You should put some "loading" text up between tables, it took awhile and I wasen't sure if the game had crashed.

The highscores worked fine, I'm in 5th place. You should add something at the top of the score panel to describe what each column means.

And as you probably know, theres a noticable freeze between songs.
I'll try loading my saved game later and playing some more.
How many tables are there?

As for the chick, her standing animation could be lots better, but she dances allright.
Oh, and if its not a big deal, maybe you could change the credits to my new username? Thanks for even including me though!!

Ok, it's pretty darn fun after you get the hang of it. My first thoughts were I wish I could use the cursor keys to tilt the pachinko machine, but after playing with it a bit it wasn't as bad as I thought.

I like the music and the sound effects. The graphics are good. It can be a bit jerky at times, but not too bad at all really. I was running it on a 2.52Mhz p4, 256k Ram, ATi 9600pro.

I will play it some more here soon and have more feedback. Atleast I got her to take off some clothes.

Just gotta wait 1 more year till I can download this...
I'll let you know what I think then

I was at the second table when I saved my game.
Now when I load it, my stats/points are all correct, but I'm insude the pachinko machine.
I can't see the board, or the chick.

Thanks for the replies.

Sorry to hear about the camera position bug. That's the kind of thing I need to know about though, and it shouldn't be too hard to fix. Saving and loading always works without a glitch on the first level, doesn't it?

No problem about changing your name in the credits. Thanks a lot for customising your script for this project. Why'd you change your user name anyway? Is someone looking for you, or do you just find "Poke Smot" more pleasing to the ear?

The first file I uploaded was 135M, which was, um, a bit heavy. I'm on broadband and I don't notice so much. I'd made a screw up when packing the files and there was a lot of unnecessary stuff in there. I cleaned it up this morning and uploaded again. It's around 60M now. How long does that take on a dial up?

I was thinking that a little earlier this evening when I was playing a real one, but I might get thrown out of the parlor.

I've tried a few things to help those jerks during music changes. I'll keep trying and see if I can improve it some more.

Looking forward to your comments.


I've been noting all your comments down. Thanks again, and please keep them coming.

Just downloaded.

Bug #1: If you press -esc- at the beginning screen, it will ask you if you want to exit and no options will appear.

Cheers,

I just got tired of badyams. "poke smot" seemed as good as any.
Its a phrase from the hazy days, I'm sure you know how drunk people can mix letters up

back to your game...
I started a new game and can't get any jackpots.
According to the score board I've played slots 66 times and haven't had a single jackpot.
It saves and loads ok on the first table.

EDIT: the first time I played it seemed to take awhile before I hit any jackpots. After it finally gave one I kept getting them reguarly.

EDIT #2: I really dig some of the music. it sounds like a pok-e-mon cartoon.

Why would you want to exit on the opening screen ? Seriously, thanks for telling me. Are you going to make screenies for me this time, too?

Well, it is a game of chance. Though I've rigged it a little to make your chances better at the start (it's always more fun when you're winning). Once you hit a jackpot, you'll get a bonus game at the end of the round. If you've managed to get loads more balls down than its maximum four slots, you'll have a greater chance of getting the school girl with the sword. She will always win you another jackpot round, otherwise you'll get the samurai guy and take your chances.

I know what you mean. After a hard session of debugging I've got "Come on baby, Saturday night" running in my head all the time. I got it from a company in Osaka. It sounds pretty much like the kind of DDR music they actually play in pachinko parlors. If you turn the music down and the effects up, if will play different songs from the machine on jackpots and bonus games(the music I used in earlier versions edited to sound like its coming from a noisy speaker). One of the songs is the same as the Inago Rage team used in their video.

How are the other features, like the roving camera and help panel?

Also, how do you feel about the file size for a shareware title? Looking around, the majority of shareware games are under 10M, and not nearly as hungry on system requirements.
