About us

We are two guys from Holland with a passion for pinball.

Barry is an experienced designer with an impressive skillset including graphics & web design, game development and video editing. Also a 3ds Max veteran and author of several books in his field.

Koen is a software engineer with a clean coding style and a desire to write reusable and expandable code, specializing in PHP and Actionscript.

For some time we had been thinking about starting some sort of pinball project, but it wasn't until april 2010 that we actually got the ball rolling.

We heard about the P-ROC board and visited someone in Holland who had ordered it. Soon enough we decided we were going to order one too and try to develop brand new software for The Machine: Bride of Pinbot, that would feature a dot matrix display (originally it has alpha numeric displays) and was more appealing than the original (which is often considered a one-shot game).

First we got our hardware sorted out by putting in a newer transformer, a DMD display and a DMD controller board (for powering the new display). Then we started developing new software and graphics.

For the P-ROC seminar at PinballExpo 2010 (October 23rd), we agreed with the speakers that we would make a movie that would showcase our project so far (after 6 months). After the seminar this website went online with the same movie and more information about our first project.

Read more about our developments in our Blog, on Twitter or watch our videos on YouTube.
We are curious to hear your thoughts about our project, so please leave a message in our guestbook.

Kind regards,

Team Dutch Pinball
