Last week Dr. John on the The Pinball Show interview Damian from Haggis Pinball – one item he discussed was some of the future plans for Haggis Pinball:

On if there is a new Haggis title in the pipeline:

Damian: Yes there is – there is one that has been in development for a good few months, maybe even six months now.  That is something we’re looking to bring to market in early 2022.  We have a couple other things up our sleeve that we’re hoping to realize in 2021…

Damian also talks about the recent stream with Melbourne Silverball, shares that there are about 25 of the 200 games sold so far, talks about the progress of the code, talks about the music in the machine, talks about the playfield finish, talks about Clan Haggis, shares that the typical build time is six weeks, and much more.
