Advanced Visual Pinball Postmortem

After going through too many different design variations due to technical difficulties, I finally settled on one and had it tested out.

The Good

There was less awkward ball flow compared to my previous design and the overall flow of the gameplay was improved on.

The design was also a lot simpler in terms of skill-shots as there was only one ramp and the players didn’t have to worry about slightly off-angle skill shots that were hard to access.

The Bad

Some comments I got were about the difficulty of the side bank skill-shot and how they just could not hit the skill-shot.

While it is a valid point, once they tried the shot enough times, they were able to hit it consistently so I don’t think it’s a big point I need to worry about changing.

What I’d Change

I would probably make slight changes to the side targets to make it more lenient to hit, but other than that I don’t think there’s too much I’d change.

Overall, I like how it’s turned out even though I’ve strayed from my initial design.
