PINBALL
Yes...pinball machines are still being made!
And who doesn't like to play a game of pinball?
'Ever since I was a young boy, I played the silver ball' and in 2011 I started creating animations for the first game by Jersey Jack Pinball, USA. In the years after, I got involved in many other pinball related projects. These are the games I've worked on.
