ARP SC2: $16,942-Switch and Two Pair are the only games I really wanted won. The others were supposed to be lost. Good work, guys, for causing this show to be 4/6. Of course, the two losses were on probably my two nastiest setups...though I expected Pathy to be lost quicker.
-The trip to Syracuse in Spree, obviously, was a trap. I deliberately made the trip a mere 70 miles down the Thruway the most expensive. Fun fact: the flight from Rochester to Syracuse had a layover in Washington, DC...yeah, it's quicker and cheaper to drive.
-The idea for Two Pair came to me at work one day. The original working title for the game was "First, Last, or Out", then the name came to me as I was further devising the rules. It's a simple game that takes mere minutes to play, and I hope to be able to play it again. (Likewise, if anyone else wants to use it for their games, go right ahead...and anyone else daring can draw a better set for it. We're kinda broke.
)
-I switched to a formula for calculating Big Wheel spins...and what do I get, three dollar spins! Likewise, this was the first time additional money was won...every other bonus spin to this point has resulted in nothing.
-The graphics for this show were some of the most complex ones I've ever done. Switch in particular took forever. Pathfinder was pretty time-consuming as well. Gas Money took about ten months...but only because I had started it, intending to play it for the MDS, then just got lazy and stopped working on it. (Likewise, I have a half-finished Dice Game graphic that I started almost two years ago!)
-The theme for the first Showcase was pretty much determined after the MDS. I thought it'd be fun to have an ongoing "storyline" carry over between shows. The theme for the second Showcase, on the other hand, just kinda hit me at work...I love Pokemon, I know others here do, too, and it worked.
-The truck in the first Showcase was originally planned for Pathfinder. However, a truck fit better in the theme than anything else did, and I didn't want two trucks on one show, so I swapped them out.
-Nobody won the First Four Pass. Flerbie was the closest, but was outside the range I wanted...we'll try again next time.
That's all for now...Episode Seven will come eventually. For now, comments are welcome, including those pertaining to Two Pair.
