    VR Cricket Game: Backyard Cricket

    Yeah that's a really good way of putting it. I need to write a full article on why that happens. Long term the effect can be minimised but there's always going to be a difference between your real hand speed (without a bat) and an in game bat with weight. 100% it's amplified the bigger your...

    VR Cricket Game: Backyard Cricket

    Yeah, the power game is a bit tricky without the weight in hand. Personally I find the Vive a bit easier just because I have a firmer grip on the controller. Really interesting you talk about the defensive practice thing because most of the time I actually use it practice my defensive...

    Backyard Cricket (New game, early development)

    Hi everyone I've been creating a free form action cricket engine for a while now and would love some feedback. So far I've only produced videos of the batting, although the early work on the bowling side felt good too. The game is built for customizable playing conditions and rules. Right now...
