Meet the Homebrew Pinball Makers at Golden State Pinball Festival 2026

Come meet the homebrew makers and get the story behind the games they brought to the show. Each builder will walk through what inspired their project, what makes their game unique, and the real process of bringing a one-off pinball machine to life—design, rules, mechs, art, sound, software, playtesting, setbacks, and breakthroughs. If you’ve ever wondered “how do people actually build a pinball machine from scratch?” this is your chance to learn straight from the folks doing it—and pick up ideas you can take into your own build.
