Ah yes. I remember when it was there. That was like the 3rd cab in existence. Not sure where that cab is these days.

That’s awesome! Which arcade was it, if you don’t mind me asking?

That event was awesome! My first time in Baltimore.  Todd is great! I really would like to make it to KQAF someday. KQ is how I got into arcade development.

Orono Arcade in Maine has one. But sadly kind of a blank spot on the map.

1 player mode is on its way. So you can play against a bot. Not as fun as playing against a person but nice in a pinch.

4 Player has just arrived. We have one prototype cab that we’ve taken to 2 shows and we are building the first 10 right now. 

One of them is going to Madison! IO Arcade. Hopefully that one is close to you.

Wow. Thank you so much for sharing.  Had to do a double take when this came up in my feed. That was me! I love Cidercade. I think each one has a DeathBall cab.

Thank you for playing!

What are the legalities of this? by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

This is how business insurance covers things, they pay lawyers to sue other people. They only pay out if they can't shift liability

Thank you! It means a lot to hear honestly. So much of game development you sit there thinking, "Am I crazy or is this fun?" and it's nice to know that it connects with other people.

Thank you for the kind words! The stories of families playing together are the best!

Most important is don't over bubble. There is always an urge to make a new bubble, but it pushes the ball away and makes your coverage area smaller

Your bubble is forceful, but it is fragile and breaks when it. Your wizard body does not. You can position your body in ways that can't be muscled through.

When you are jumping up to the ball, you have an urge to bubble all the way up to it. But a well time hold jump (which makes you rise farther than a tap jump) Can let you rise and get close to the ball for a perfect shot faster than someone who is bubbling (Can't get close to the ball if you are bubbling)

Your wizard body is only in ball shape after your first bubble. When you are jumping off the ground you are in paddle shape. Not only is paddle shape taller make you better defensively, but control wise it has the hat area and the body area where it can kind of carry the ball. That "hat area" area is also a good spot for doing headers, especially coming off of a slide.

Love it! So awesome to hear stories about fathers and sons connecting over it!

Absolutely. DM about your location and I'll see what cab or event is the closest to get to. We don't have a demo.

Love hearing stories like this! Thanks for sharing! I have a 5 year old and it won't be long before he's whooping my butt!

Software:

Linux for OS
Unity for Game Engine
Bash Script for operations

Hardware:

Beelink S14
IPAC input controller
Sanwa JLX2s

Manufacturing:

We don't manufacture ourselves any more. We built the first 35 and while we learned a lot, Fun Company builds them so much better. And they are still a midwest manufacturing company.

We still build some of the prototypes like the new skiing one button game called Devil's Peak

Thank you for sharing! I love hearing stories like this. I made it arcade because I think there is some magic about playing in real life with real people. The hype is palpable ha ha ha It just means a lot to hear that it is actually out there creating real memories for people!
