Swappable modules, a ball tracked LCD playfield, physical mechs, and a platform that approaches game design from a completely different angle than most traditional machines. Gerry joins the Dirty Pool Podcast to talk about the origins of the Multimorphic platform, designing games around modular hardware, how different modules take advantage of the system in unique ways, and how the P3 has evolved over the years.We also get into the balance between physical and digital integration in pinball, the realities of building a platform meant to support multiple experiences in one cabinet, and how players have responded to pinball that experiments outside the standard format.🧬 Multimorphic / P3 Pinball https://www.multimorphic.com/If you had a P3 cabinet, which module would you want to try first?🔺 Praise the Great Pyramid:📡 Twitch http://www.twitch.tv/dirtypoolpinball📺 YouTube http://www.youtube.com/@dirtypoolpinball📷 Instagram http://www.instagram.com/dirtypoolpinball📘 Facebook http://www.facebook.com/dirtypoolpinball🔊 Discord – http://discord.gg/ySs5Wjb3Je👕 Apparel http://www.dirtypoolpinball.com00:00:00 - Multimorphic, P3, and the strange corner of modern pinball00:01:21 - Gerry’s tech background before pinball00:02:42 - P-ROC starts as a way to mess with existing machines00:03:24 - Tracking a bouncing pinball in real time00:04:48 - Infrared grids, multiple balls, and what the system actually sees00:05:50 - P-ROC becomes the brain inside the P300:06:38 - Choosing modules and LCD playfields over a normal pinball machine00:07:40 - Building new pinball tech when Stern was almost alone00:08:41…
