This project started out as a small tech demo for me, in order to get better acquainted with the 3D engine I am using, 3D Rad. Usually when you hear about "Free" 3D engines, you think in terms of it not being able to deliver a commercial quality product. The ones that can however, have a very steep learning curve and for the most part aren't very intuitive, especially for new Artists. I set out to hone in on my abilities as a 3D Artist more than anything and to sharpen my skills in order for me to begin my long life dream; To create Video Games. Once I saw what this free engine could do I was immersed into doing a much more "Complete" game with it and decided to create a full, simple game of pinball.

                                                                     Premise of the Game
     Now, originally this was going to be a much more "Massive" game. Its original premise was to have a base Garage with this starter up machine, and eventually the user could buy extra machines as they were available. Due to this project being very time consuming and me being a start -up indie developer with limited resources however, I've decided to make this one and every other machine available as a stand alone game. This will let the player buy whatever machine they like, rather than having to buy the previous ones in order to upgrade to the next available machine and in turn I can concentrate on every individual game on a as needed basis. This will also let me develop other titles on a regular basis.

                                                                                              Simple, straight forward fun!
Rather than trying to recreate an ultra-realistic machine, I recreated my take on pinball. A simple, uncluttered and colorful variation of the typical system. There are great features that are going to be implemented for this machine in the near future, so stay tuned! Of course this will all depend on your great support. Even if you don't buy the complete game, you can also donate by hitting the donate button down at the bottom of the page and help continual development of this and upcoming titles. Your help will be greatly appreciated and will help further development of the 3D Rad community as well!
