[BigAntStudios]

Big Ant are making Lacrosse!

Here is an in-game screenshot of the early build - much like the early shots of Don Bradman Cricket 14, it is a work in progress:

PITTSBURGH, PA: Today, Crosse Studios in-conjunction with game developer, Big Ant, announced Lacrosse 14 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and the PC. Lacrosse 14 will be funded through a month long ?all-or-nothing? Kickstarter Campaign.

Kickstarter allows the fans to help fund Lacrosse 14 through pre-orders and/or having their name and face featured in the game. If enough people support Lacrosse 14, Crosse Studios and Big Ant will be able to deliver the highest-quality lacrosse video game ever created to Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and the PC for the Spring of 2014.

?This is what we have been waiting for,? said Carlo Sunseri, founder of Crosse Studio. ?Together, as a lacrosse community, we will create history by building a video game that captures the authenticity and realism of lacrosse like never before.?

Alongside this announcement, Crosse Studios is happy to reveal that they have partnered with game development studio Big Ant. Big Ant Studios, developer of Rugby League Live 2 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, specialize in the development of premium sports, character and racing content for all major console platforms including Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Big Ant Studios has a proud development record which includes the highly successful and critically acclaimed ?AFL Live Game of the Year Edition?.

No way.....is this the first lacrosse game ever?

 

[BigAntStudios]

There's been a few smaller ones on PC/iOS/XBLA

----------

It's going to be heavily based on the NHL games.

----------

We have many more screenshots that will be released over the next week.

 

[MattW]

Any other sports in the pipeline?

Yes. Lacrosse, Badminton, amongst others.

Looking forward to the Badminton game then...

 

[SambarVadai]

Concept seems to be pretty good..Hope it gathers much attention with the Kickstarter campaigns and all.

 

[isrararrafi]

The screenshot does look pretty sweet.

What does "all or nothing" mean? You wouldnt develop it if you do not get enough contributions from people?

I'm not a lacrosse fan, I have little idea about the game or the rules but this looks like it could be fun to play.

Good on Big Ant for giving "niche" sports a chance to have a quality game!

There are only so many things we can self fund

Damn... I just say to much on here sometimes - can you forget that I said either of those things?... just act surprised when stuff is "announced" for the first time elsewhere

And I am extremely happy that Cricket finds a place in it.

So Ross, you guys are doing Cricket, Rugby (if TruBlu don't do another AFLLive2), Lacrosse and may be Badminton (I'd take that answer you gave to Matt as a hint). So how do sequels work here? Have you got separate teams for different games or the same one moving from one game to another. If latter is the case, what could be the possible time gap between successive iterations of the same game?

I'm in no way trying to get you to talk on DBC 15 (or 16 or whatever). Just a genuine query on my part.

Well there's always the 'amongst others' you could surprise us with.

Hope you get funded.

 

[BigAntStudios]

The funding will decide the quality of the game.

So you're making it regardless but the funds would be the extra polish/modes?

DBC14 is the central part of our strategy that has taken near ten years to put together, it's been a long, long road.

There are different project teams however all of our games are designed to help each other in terms of sharing tech.

Big Ant Studios are Australia's answer to EA Sports! Love ya work Ross and company

The game needs the Kickstarter to be successful to deliver on all that we would like to do, that's as much as I can say for now.
