Required and Optional Software 

• The following software is REQUIRED to run Saving Wallden:
  • Visual Pinball X, version 10.8 beta or higher
• The following software is OPTIONAL to run Saving Wallden:
  • PinUp Popper (you must download the PUP pack, "SavingWallden", and put it in your PUPVideos directory)
    • PinUp is REQUIRED if you want to use Scorbit integration
  • FlexDMD version 1.7 or higher

It is recommended to use the PinUp Popper Baller Installer to install all common Virtual Pinball software. This will also install PinUp and FlexDMD, which enables more support for DMDs / displays in Wallden especially for cabinets. If you use the baller installer, you must separately obtain VPX 10.8 beta from https://github.com/vpinball/vpinball/releases .

Development - Wanted / Needed

At this time, the following is particularly wanted / needed for development towards Saving Wallden. Please contact me via a forum or support tickets on the "Support" page if interested in contributing. You will be listed as a contributor as a reward.

• Artwork / 3D toys for the table
• Artwork for the PUP pack and DMD to replace the AI-generated art
• Table work to massively improve its quality: minor tweaks to the layout, better graphics / rendering (perhaps a toolkit makeover / bake maps)
• Debugging nFozzy physics. They do not seem to be working correctly for the flippers (too bouncy, too hard to live-catch, post-pass, or cradle-catch), and I have no idea why.
• Someone to help me code the table game play (I can do it on my own, but progress on my own is very slow)

Semantic Versioning 

In Wallden, I use a modified version semantic versioning, which works as follows:

major.minor.patch tag

Where:

• major versions introduce fundamental / foundational changes to the table and game play (major version will remain 0 until initial development is complete). Each time this happens, the major version is increased by 1.
• minor versions introduce new or updated game play features, components, or graphics / art / assets. Each time this happens, the minor version is increased by 1.
• patch versions introduce either bug fixes or incremental progress towards the next minor version. Each time this happens, the patch version is increased by 1.
• tag is "alpha" during development, "beta" during the testing phase, and no tag when fully released / stable (I do not use release candidates)

Version numbers do not represent progress amount towards completion. And a major, minor, or patch number can go above 9.

Development Progress / Roadmap
