Faudrait peut être éditer le titre: Popadiuk ayant été jeté d'American Pinball, il n'a plus rien à voir avec le projet.
Le brave homme avait sans doute oublié de signaler un certain nombre de détails à American Pinball (comme un accord avec Bill Brandes concernant Magic Girl).

Bref, Houdini renait de ses cendres, mais sans lui. Joe Balcer aux commandes.

ABOUT AMERICAN-PINBALL
American Pinball has been listening and watching the industry for quite some time and has come to the conclusion that there’s a need for a new player in town. One that has their priorities straight and believes in quality craftsmanship and a “Made in America” mentality. People want a company that’s focused first on creating an incredible game experience and less on how to make a quick buck and that’s exactly what American Pinball is all about. We believe in hiring good people with an authentic approach to the pinball industry combined with decades of industry experience that will position the company to be an innovator, leader and pioneer for years to come. The entrepreneurial spirit is one of the company’s greatest strength as it provides us with an opportunity to make strategic and quick decisions with the goal of delivering the most engaging, fun and unique pinball machines ever created. Since day one of American Pinball we knew we wanted to create a company that would distinguish itself from the industry both as a result of the company itself and the products we manufacture. Our first game Houdini, Master of Mystery will be our first real example of that.

Je me suis permis d'éditer le titre du fil du discussion, puisque l'on sait maintenant que ce flip n'a *rien* à voir avec JPOP... et c'est tant mieux.
Le designer est Joe Balcer, et il a réussi à boucler le projet en un temps record.
Pour les anglophones, un petit retour sur le développement du jeu écrit par son codeur.

Il est beau en tout cas, ça bouge beaucoup en ce moment chez les fabricants !

[jets]

J'ai vu ça ce week-end sur facebook,

Dommage le fronton du style Gottlieb, sinon il est magnifique. (y'a plus la tronche de BHL...)

Je ne me suis pas encore attardé sur les vidéos de gameplay pour voir si il est à la hauteur.

[RipleYYY]

sympa le fronton justement, ça fait rétro et bien dans le style époque 1900, et donc ça colle au thème

[IBARAKURO]

C'est un flipper qui a l'air vraiment bien, réalisé dans un temps record... Stern devrait commencer à se faire du soucie...

[papate]
