Developer’s Description

By BSP Software Design Solutions

Create and play your own 3D pinball simulation.

Future Pinball is a real time Pinball Development System. It allows you to design and play your very own pinball simulation in True real time 3D. It uses Advanced Physics to provide the best possible Simulation of a true to life pinball machine.Tables are built up out of Standard components (Plastics, Pegs, Bumpers, Lights) which are placed onto the playfield via the Editor. Objects like Surfaces, Lights and Rubbers are shapeable within the editor and generated real-time when the table is played. Other objects (Bumpers, Flippers, Gates, Triggers, Targets) use pre-made 3d Models (of which there is a nice selection of each type).

The Table logic is scripted in Visual Basic Scripting (via the Microsoft Scripting Technology's built into Microsoft Windows). Scripting is designed to be simple but flexible enough to allow a wide variety of Original Games to be created. Only a limited subset of the Visual Basic Scripting Language is used as a lot of extra functionality is provided by the game engine.Full Sound / Music Support is also provided with multiple Music Channels to allow cross fading.As Future Pinball is a Game Construction Program it contains some advanced concepts which may require a little bit of time (and patience) to learn and fully understand (such as computer graphics and scripting concepts).

Still needs work

Pros
It's uncanny how similar this is to Visual Pinball. Obviously it's using some of the vp code as some bugs are the same. If you use VP, you can jump right into this pinball editor. It also looks real nice, with light effects.
Cons
Physics support is handled by a separate entity entirely - so any physics problems the designer refers you to them for support. Lack of customization of items, limited to cookie cutter object models, no ability to make your own. A simple sizing change can't be done - a drop target is always the same width, the same height, etc etc. No support for vpinmame, midi, or any plugins. No EXE file support for tables. Too many limitations on creativity to make much of anything.
Summary
More of a Guide, on how to, or what is best

Pros
Inventive, uses alot of Intelligence to figure out how to set up, the proper game
Cons
Needs more informative detail, I checked the edit, and that even was more startling then trying to wing it!
Summary
Excellent graphics, accurate game play, large library of objects, top marks

Lots of fun and educational, very easy to learn and use. Accurate physics and it even has 10+ different camera views. Top marks for a first release. A must for anyone wanting to learn how to make their own games.
Cons
Does not work with Windows 95/98/98SE/ME/NT, requires Windows XP/2003 or 2000
