Genre: Pinball Machine
My time on project: Dec. 2022 to Jul. 2025

Overview:

Team Elwin’s fifth cornerstone game began development shortly after Godzilla was completed. Once again, I served as the Lead Software Engineer on this project. Stern secured the license from Universal, and we were even able to record Richard Dreyfuss’s dialogue for the game. This title features the most content of any of our projects to date. We had an abundance of footage from all the Jaws films to sort through and incorporate into compelling rules. I had four support programmers assisting with various tasks throughout development.

This game reached v1.0 in July of 2025 and remains critically acclaimed for its theme integration and compelling gameplay.
