The Story

The V-Pin Workshop (VPW) is a collective of pinball enthusiasts, audio and visual artists, and software developers that update and create virtual pinball tables using Visual Pinball 10 (VPX). Members of VPW were inspired by the movie Blood Machines and strongly believed it would make a fantastic pinball game. So, in January 2021 they contacted Seth to propose the game be created and released for free, and that development would be greatly enhanced if assets from the movie were provided. Seth was all in and quickly supplied voice lines, 3D models, etc. totaling a whopping 70 gigabytes of data! After 1000's of hours of work and over 330 revisions of the table, VPW has finally released their original game.

The Blood Machines Pinball is packed with novel implementations that have never been seen in any other VPX tables. Explore the Missions and Multiballs on your way to achieving the final Wizard Mode battle. The music of Carpenter Brut will carry you through the challenges. You must discover it for yourself!

The game soundtrack is pulled directly from Carpenter Brut's Blood Machines album, so purchase and download it for the full experience. Support the artist and enjoy the game!
