Welcome to my new blog!

Hey, welcome to my new blog! I decided to make a blog dedicated to my pinball design. Hopefully, in the future, "design" will be able to become "designs", but for now, I will use this blog to talk about the development of Joe's Ultimate Bus Ride. I'm happy to say that I've really started working hard on it the last month or so, and I have gotten a lot of programming done, and shouldn't take me too much longer to finish the basic programming, then I can start working on the sounds and music, the display, and the art. Here is a picture of the table so far:
Joe's Ultimate Bus Ride playfield (All stuffs are subject to change)

The balls still lock in the bus, but now are released when the door on the bus opens up. The upper right flipper is used to fire at the drop targets. One example of this is in multiball. In multiball you have to knock down the drop targets, re-lock two balls in the bus, shoot the Bus Stop (The upper right kicker), and then hit the center drop target for a super jackpot!

Anyways, I will try to post on here on a somewhat regular basis, about once or twice a month. I'm really hoping I can finish this soon, since I've had this in the works since December 2012, and I really want you guys to be able to play it! Hopefully it will be released in 2014, but take that with a grain of salt, and don't get your hopes up (That is, if you even HAD any :P) that it will be released any time soon. In the meantime, you can check out the Games page for more info on Joe's Ultimate Bus Ride.
