Update on the Arcooda Video Pinball machine

May 9, 2017

The dual flipper opto board we have been working on for Arcooda Video Pinball.

There has been plenty of new developments made on the Arcooda Video Pinball machine since the prototype was revealed late last year, which we outline in video one of our all new Checkpoint series.

Keep your eye out for our Checkpoint videos, as this is where we will be revealing more details about the video pinball project and other company happenings.

In Checkpoint video 001, we explained why the Arcooda Video Pinball machine has not yet been released.

We demonstrated the prototype machine at the Australasian Gaming Expo, Pinfest and IAAPA Attractions Expo in 2016 with the hope of an early 2017 release.

However, after much thought, we decided to push this release date back to re-engineer hardware and software components in the machine to deliver a product that looks and feels like a real pinball.

Key component upgrades so far include adding a smart tilt IO board, a custom pinball coil mechanism and a dual flipper opto board.

In December, we announced a partnership with FarSight Studios – creators of The Pinball Arcade – to launch the Arcooda Pinball Arcade.

We asked FarSight Studios to write new software code, which will allow for backglass support on all tables included in Arcooda Pinball Arcade (there is more than 70).

Other areas we have been focusing on is power management for the machine’s coils, lights and motors, new camera angles for the games, 3D support, a new player interface and full touchscreen support.

We are now in the trial phase.

We’ll keep you posted on when the software is ready to play.

New Arcooda video series to keep you up to date

May 4, 2017

From today, Arcooda will start an all new video series which will provide our gaming community and the wider public with up-to-date company news.

The regular checkpoint videos will feature details and updates on Arcooda projects currently under development and, at times, call for your opinions and input about them.

“There is a lot of new development at Arcooda, and often these developments are difficult to explain just through text,” Arcooda CEO Steve Josifovski said.

“We have created this new video series to share with our distributors and customers many of the projects we are working on, machines we are soon to release, and also to ask for your feedback.

“This video series is a good way to contribute and have your say on what features you would like to see added, cabinet colours, or what further collaborations you would like us to have with other leading software and hardware factories.

“We hope you can be part of our community as the machines we are building are not designed for “one off” game style purchases, but more, where the cabinet can be modified over the years for long term use.”

Checkpoint video one will land on the Arcooda YouTube channel Thursday night.

This video will contain updates on the Arcooda Video Pinball, a new game and machine, plus something extra we’ve been working on – an anti-cheating system.

Keep an eye out on our YouTube channel, as well as our Facebook and Twitter pages for these checkpoint videos.

We want you to join the discussion. Ask a question, post a comment or send us a message about our checkpoint video on Arcooda’s Facebook, Twitter or YouTube pages.
