? 20 over championships
? Mini world cup

In-game awards


? The FICO international cricket awards are held every game year. If the user player is a captain of his international team, he gets a right to vote for each of the nomination categories.
? There are also domestic awards for each country that are not only for international players but also for domestic players. There are various categories of awards.
? Winning an award adds to the morale of the player and boosts PR level that will be useful for getting lucrative sponsorship offers.
? Winning International awards significantly boost PR effect compared to winning domestic awards.


Software Development Kits: Modding experience enhanced


Gamebience is committed to enhance gaming experience. For the first time, we are giving an opportunity for the modding community to seriously take part in the game and decide what they want and what they do not want in the game by releasing a Software Development kit for modules that we think will be appropriate to hand over to the community.

? An SDK will be released shortly after the release of the game that will allow experienced modders to modify the rules of the existing tournaments and as well as add completely new tournaments using the Software Development Kit. Using the SDK, any modder who knows basic C/C++ language will be able to create/modify tournaments in the game without any difficulty.
? The in-game awards system is also be modifiable. More in-game awards can be created, categories can be added or modified.

Next feature set on Monday, 4th September 2006 - Overview of the game, various key factors of the player and how they influence the game, overview on the Player Evolution system.(For PlanetCricket this shall be released on the 2nd and 3rd of September itself.)

All names, characters, organizations appearing in the game are purely fictitious. Any resemblance to real life names, characters or organizations is purely coincidental.

Well, that modding bit looks interesting!

And that FICO thing is funny!

The user will be able to choose one of the players available from the domestic team and lead him into the international team or create his own player.

Now that is very interesting indeed

The next features will be shown at the 4th, so we might get to know more features at 8th, 12th & 15th!

Will new game features be released everday?

Yes,we shall be releasing new features on the game everyday.I think it'll be a good idea if some of your questions on the upcoming interview could be based on these features and anything related to them.

Yesl, I was thinking about the questions too, & now I will ask some modding questions!

 

[kookaburra69]

that looks very interesting,i like the FICO bit

 

[The Spin]

Nice stuff there, some of those tournaments sound strangely familiar, isnt the Mini World Cup in India soon?

The modding sounds very good as well, no doubt we will have plenty of modders from Planetcricket doing patches.

 

[Adarsh]

This game sounds great. Really does. As I've said before I just hope this doesn't become another disappointing game like previous management games, *cough* cricket coach *cough*.

 

[sid_19840]

Personally Id say that it doesnt sound like any of the current management games we have for Cricket such as ICC or Cricket Coach which gives this game an edge.It has a brand new concept and Im glad that the player is being given a lot of focus.So far the features show that the game has a good concept and hopefully the implementation will be just as good.

Seems like it could be fun...however I am still confused about what the 3D aspect of the game will be...will we be able to see highlights of our games?

Im guessing it'll be the matches and your player's performance in the matches.Hopefully it will allow us to make in-match decisions as well such as how aggressive or defensive the player will be during the match and so on.The only way to confirm all of this is to keep tracking the features that'll be coming out in the next few days and the screenshots which are not far away either.

Well, that aggressive-defensive bit should definitely be there, considering that they are going to compete with the games like CC & ICC!

 

[Mr. Kurns]

This sounds great and with a heap more features coming :O this sounds awesome.

 

[sid_19840]

The next set of feature will possibly be coming out on PlanetCricket tommorow,as soon as Ive received them.

 

[RabbleRouser]

Finally it sounds like we're going to get a breath of fresh air in the management area. I love the idea of the awards. It's a shame there won't be any real names, but it really does sound like a cracking game. Good luck to the developers.
