Getting into Pinball
If there are any pinhead game devs out there, we're still working on the next generation of Visual Pinball, called VPE[1].
However, given the current drama around Unity, we're currently looking into Godot to evaluate how much effort it would take to port, and how Godot will support our needs.

Pinball is booming in America, thanks to nostalgia and canny marketing
Pinball on computers is thriving too.
Visual Pinball X ("VPX", see https://www.vpforums.org/index.php?app=downloads&showcat=51) runs community authored recreated tables with ROMs dumped from the hardware. The physics engine has good performance and authenticity.
Another project, Visual Pinball Engine, ported the C++-based physics engine to Unity (https://github.com/freezy/VisualPinball.Engine) through its DOTS & "HPC#" (C# with manual memory management extensions) approach. Unity adoption means you can play high fidelity tables right in your browser (https://appmana.com/watch/pinball).
Then there's commercial platforms like Pinball FX and people building VPX rendering in VR.
It's maybe the biggest simulation scene I know of. The community fills many niches. Rigs of Rods & Beam.ng for the idea, "Microsoft Flight Simulator, but for cars." XMage & Spellsource for "Magic the Gathering or Hearthstone but you write your own cards." Unreal Engine for Fortnite is a big entry for the open world community authored content dominated by Minecraft, with submarine stuff like Facepunch's S&box (think Garry's Mod 2.0) coming up.

Pinball FX Steam Page is up
No it's just a modernising of the engine and gfx for modern machines. a lot of the VPX devs and table makers are actively helping create VPE as it's an open source project on github. https://github.com/freezy/VisualPinball.Engine

Future Pinball – A Real Time Pinball Development System
Shameless plug, we're working on a next-gen pinball simulator called Visual Pinball Engine[1]. It's free and open source, using Unity, and will eventually support importing FP's table format.
It's still WIP, but we've put a lot of focus on tooling, so anyone can easily create tables.

We've been working on an open source pinball framework for Unity for a while now, in case you're interested: https://github.com/freezy/VisualPinball.Engine

Why are there no pinball games with level editors?

Looking to rent a pin for a weekend.
https://pinballmap.com/ and pick a few different spots. Tons of great pinball in Vegas.
- Played pinball for 12 days straight now. Addicted. $20/day @ arcade. Seems silly to spend $5k or more over the year, would I be better off buying a machine? Vintage or limited edition, so it will increase in value over time?

What does Boise need more of?
According to pinballmap.com there are 3 T2 machines in the area. One each at Bodega Boise, Idaho Pinball Museum and Eagle Lux Reel Theater.
- Look what I found in Dunedin, FL.

I did it. After playing pinball fx games for 5+ years I finally played on some real tables.
If you don't know of it already, https://pinballmap.com/ is great

How to get over my fear of being too boring and weird to date?
If you want a fun hobby and a great place to meet people but not be ENTIRELY engaged in conversation, check out pinball. It’s an amazing hobby and gets more addicting as you learn the rules of each machine and get better. It’s a great place to bring a friend or a date and take turns playing each other for high scores. Check out this pinball map website/app to find pinball machines near you
