any chance of a table creator

[Omnipotencia]

any chance of getting it as dlc or something, am sure there would be tons of cool tables if they sold a table creator or allowed the workshop.

custom pinball things elswhere are just bad 2d things :/

No chance at all. It would directly cut into the DLC sales if people could just recreate those tables (especially now with the Williams/Bally tables) or just get tables for free in general.

I fail to see how for example VFX is a "bad 2d thing", it's quite a powerful editor that gives you basically unlimited freedom in recreating tables.

these zen tables are more 3d and fantasy like and to be honest those are the ones i prefer, and am not talking about recreating tables am talking making like original tables, so we could have things like, gravity falls, oddworld, mlp, star vs the forces of evil, mighty magiswords, sonic the hedgehog tables ect,

i would love nice tables done on these but i doubt zen will get the rights to things like that, they could just make the editor steam compatible only and take down recreations that people do that zen will do. or just allow people to do recreations so they can actually make more different original tables as dlc instead

to be honest i havnt really been interested in the real life ones. might be why am not interested in alot of the marvel and star wars ones if they are real life recreations. i like the zen ones sorcerers lair and paranormal are good examples.

Maybe you should subscribe to the feed of the other company starting with Z that's also into pinball. They teased an editor earlier but it looks like it has a low priority at this moment. Or they're working out how to integrate the workshop properly since they already said that it won't be possible to import own graphics/sounds. Which turned a lot of people off..

yeh only way i'd even be interested in that is with custom graphics. all the tables there are to real for my liking. havnt rally been interested in real tables, probably cause back in the past alot of real tables i played were mostly the same with different graphics, pinball fx is only one i found interest in, they seem to have personality. the only other pinball game i would ever go back to is that windows pinball but again thats more fantasy like where you have to complete the ring to beat the table

There already is one, its called Visual Pinball. (Visual Pinball X)

again these are more real tables than fantasy i have looked at these but they arent exactly pinball fx quality

You realize that at best you'd get an editor with less options than VPX, not more options right?

Doesn't matter if it's about recreating tables or making fantasy tables. The point is still that a lot of people then would stop buying the regular DLCs because why waste money when you can get tables for free. Same reason why there are so many achievement cheaters on Zaccaria, they want those free achievement tables. Doesn't matter if they suck, it's free tables, better than paying for the better ones.
(And before anybody comes up with VPX: Setting that one up, with it's horrible UI, the fact it doesn't properly support Gamepads as well as the hassle with rom files is a reason why people simply buy PFX, PA, Zaccaria or whatever: it works out of the box without having to read guides)

I don't know what's so difficult to understand about that. If you're a grown up adult who lived in the real world, you'd understand that Zen isn't a charity, they don't make Pinball games for the love of Pinball but for the love of money, that's their sole drive: Making as most money as possible.
Hence why i'd be stupid to throw out an editor and cut into your profits.
You got that now?

True because the physics, at least from those top table designers, are superior to PFX3.

And there are ton of fantasy tables available, you just have to look in the right places. I found tables ranging from Game of Thrones to Golden Axe or Stalker to completely fictional tables.

by fantasy i mean tables like paranormal and sorcerers lair, they could not be made in real life probably some of the other tables to, hell even the skyrim one couldnnt be made. alot of the visual pinball are real life recreations and dont have the mini tables or minigames. i think i saw 1 on youtube but the table kinda felt dead. have to admit pinball fx tables got me into pinball a lot more and now when i see "normal" tables they look bland in comparison
