Sup /v/, I'm going to craft a Dark Souls themed pinball machine.
Help me out with mechanics and ideias you would like to see on such a machine.
Ideas I have
>hit estus switch: multiballs
>7 levels: gargoyles, queelag, 4 lords, gwin
>extra artorias level
>game consists of hitting vynil 3d printed boss statues that circle in an arc motion near the top of the table
>you obviously won't hit the vinyl figurines, but light spots that correspond to the boss "location"
>hitting certain spots may cause a "YOU DIED" "tilt" that locks your movements
>maybe a bonfire figurine that does something I don't thought of yet
So what you guys think?
Looks cool
Gonna use an arduino?
Also, see potential here. Have a bump
I'm actually curious what the cheapest possible build for a fairly accurate pinball machine via screen would be. I have at least 200 virtual tables already and I think I'm ready to put together the costs. I think......help me

Just posted my last sentence
The rest of the post was
>how are you going to get art to put on the table? Are you an art fag?
>>378250183
>Pinball frame from busted table: Free-$100 depending on location
>40" 1080p flatscreen LCD TV: $200-300
>Mid range pc: $300-400
>15" top glass monitor/TV: $80-100

There should be a way to un-lose a ball after you launch a new one, to mimic getting your souls back. Require the player to perform a specific task within maybe six seconds of launching. You could have enemy-specific mechanics during given levels too, like if you rack up multipliers or go through the same ramp too fast during The Depths, a slime "drops on you" and you lose control of either the right or left flippers, requiring you to mash the button to free them up again.

I fucking love these ideas. Got any others?
>lock the ball
>releases a new ball
>if you hit a boss tile within certain time, gets the ball back
>maybe pop Solaire out when this happens and give you a third ball, or a score multiplier

Make sure the ball has a knight painted on it to make it really seem like you're really playing dark souls, rolling around the entire level
If you could have someway to have challenges to create a class maybe? Have certain targets, and if you hit say 2h weapons and medium armor you get a barbarian or something?

I guess that would be over the top.
Maybe focusing on most iconic elements the game will be cooler
We will never experience again the day of when arcades were a big thing with cabinets, pinballs, ...
We can only hope for a hypothetical revival like a lot of things tend to have.

>Dark Souls themed
I think Reddit is the better place to ask for ideas regarding a shitty """hardcore""" meme game like that
>>378252680
Yeah just hide it and go on living my man
pretty cool idea OP, you a big pinball fan?

Played a fucking lot when younger, want to have a table on my battlestation, a custom one based around one of my favorite games would be fucking amazing.
Wish there were more pinballs around where I live.

no bithc, you have to conform to every /v/ trope if you ever want to post, or look at anything on this board.
Change that pinball table to a Rondo Duo one immediately or i'm gonna meme on you

If Vinyl and CRT are making a comeback, I don't see why Pinball can't.
