Yeah, the bowl looks too big. Maybe its because the ball looks more like an apple than a ball. :p

Yeah, I was thinking of that as I was typing. I wasn't thinking about my spelling. :doh

Seriously the ball is way too red, the ball looks a lot like one of those sprites(icons) in games from game maker.
 
I have a question LM and JK, will the game be a donation based sale? As in paying as much as you like for the game or will there be a set price? There is no way it should be free after all the effort. The first option has been done very succesfully before and I think it would work quite well if you do not wish to set a price for it.

Any chance one of you guys can give me a reply on this post? Cheers.

at this juncture, a donation based system is the best way to go.

Are you talking about the bowler's ball icon or the actual game ball?
 
Great videos!

The physics look fantastic.

One criticism I would have of the second video is the position of the batsman as he plays the shot.

His stance is fine but when he moves his feet his back foot moves to the legside so there is no movement INTO the shot.

The batsmans legs sort of just spread out.

The backfoot should remain still and the front foot move towards the ball unless the batsman is purposely backing away. In fact, the back leg almost always moves to the OFF side.

I know it seems small but it's soemthing you never see a real batsamn do.

Also, the red ball icon seems to be in a rather awkward place... shouldn't it be in a cornes somewhere? Certainly not right in your eyeline..

hahaha...again...the batting build which LM has is relatively OLD.
the new one will be times better...i guarantee. :)

and not just creating it....but also implementing it properly in the game is also a skill. and that was done in a bit of a hurry to release the vid.

so dont worry, the next vid should be more satisfactory in terms of the batting aspects. ;)

when will be next vid available.
 
Brilliant work :hpraise . My expectations are running wild :banana2 . Can you compile a video with all batting and bowling animations .
 
@sachingr8 and @styles20 - the next vid will have LOADS more batting and bowling animations and also the physics and stuff. :)

if we stick to our guns....then may be in another 7-10 days ?
even quicker if we go crazy lol! :P
 
One thing I noticed. It's very minor. It's regarding the sound in video three, the birds chirping that is. It has a sort of jerky transition from 00:10-00:13 when the sound is being replayed from the start.
