TL;DR: [list] [*] Publications offer a way to cut out images and use them as references in your projects. [*] Pinball Magazine issue 1 with four articles: prewar pinball machines, gobble holes, bumpers, and gates.

If you were feeling a bit lost on how to draw the various pinball parts, you were not alone, and this has finally improved. When you now start working on your pinball playfield, the game introduces Pinball Magazine, a way for you to learn what you're going to be designing.

Take a look at the latest devlog to see behind the scenes of this development sprint and my thoughts for the future.
