I have a couple of ideas abt formats tht cud be used for storing of stats/player abilities.In fact I have it all ready in Vb but I guess it shudnt be too dufficult to port it to C++.Originally posted by Scatter
excellent stuff guys. oh and bomber it isn't "only research." it is a vital part of the game. i do not think it will be possible for us to have too many researchers. all of your raised hands are also duly noted. we really will need a lot of data for this game, especially for smaller nations like bangladesh, and the non test playing associate member countries (I hope that signals a few things to everyone. namely, the statistical depth we intend to employ, the scope of the game, and the fact that player stats will actually mean something in this game... the list goes on. and the research is crucial.) at this point, i have no idea how the data will be collated, or in what manner it needs to be stored. like everything else, we need to sort out the c++ programmers so as we have an idea on such details.
does anyone have any info regarding this?
don't need the lawyer in you just yet, but i'm hoping you might have a bit of a passing interest in sociology. i really need to know if in peoples opinions there is a strong games market in india (a legitimate one - not illegal stuff). one of the selling points to publishers if i have to resort to whoring myself around will be the fact that cricket is a religion in the worlds second most populist nation. that fact is totally useless to me if not many people actually own a computer. any info would be great, and any substantive stats on the matter would be sublime (especially if they were helpful!!! ). and the whoring process will begin surprisingly early in the process. once the full team is in place, the whoring starts... if only to get a feel for what will be required by a publisher or to generate some interest (eg "yeah i'm interested, but i need to see some of the game first" etc), or hell, we might even get full on lucky.
as i said, we can never have too many researchers, so anyone who wants to help in that regard, as well as anything else, feel free to put your hand up.

Hi Sriram, long time no see on these boards. Hope you're keeping well .
planning is paramount. i am currently putting the finishing touces to a synopsis document outling just about every detail of the game - it is going to be over 15 pages long, and it will evolve. like i said, planning is paramount.Originally posted by UnderTaker
Oh1 this thing is erally getting very serious....
scatter, i think we should sit back and think on what things this game should have to make it something defferent... i am sure that we should have a very very well planned and designed A.I. which is a mising part in the recent cricket gmes... and to say the playability. we got to make a PES which is better than FiFa-series . so many hav said that the feel of playing PES is uncomparable with FIFA games. i havent played it yet though... we got to bring such a fell into this one..
and also, i think, we need a really very much experienced guys as the Lead programmer and lead artist..
Best of luck mate... we r all with u....
