ost_uid14]Hi guys
My name is Krishnan, and I am head programmer at Nest computers software division(india) , and we are planning to bring out a cricket game. So far we have developed a good game engine with stress on gameplay.I want the comments and suggestions of you users in the following topics :
1. Controls
the controls developed so far in the game are as follows :
batting :
1.bowler at the bowler's mark
batsman can be moved around in the crease using direction buttons.
strokeplay : none
2.bowler starts run up
batsman cannot be moved.
if batting, the bowling cursor just appears as a dot in the pitch , indicating the place where the ball would pitch.
strokeplay: hit o for playing backfoot shot.
hit k for front foot shot
hit m for charging the bowler
3. bowler delivers ball :
getting good timing, hit the direction buttons (as in blc)
to direct the shot, alogwith :
alt : single shot
ctrl : four shot
shift : six shot
bowling:
there are 3 kinds of bowlers :
r/l arm fast (>150 kph)
r/l arm fast med ( between 150, 138 )
r/l arm med fast ( b/w 130 and 120)
r/l arm med ( <120)
and all the kinds of spinners.
spinners ( b/w 110 and 80 )
speeds are only avge ,fast med bowlers will also bowl 130 ks
1.bowler at mark:
hit enter to start run up
2, bowler running up
position the bowling cursor using mouse or arrow keys
: hit shift for top speed
hit ctrl for normal speed
hit alt for slower ball
press for more time to increse/decrese speed
then hit arrow left or right to make ball swing/seam/cut/spin.
pressing arrow for longer time gets more swing/seam/cut/spin.
top/normal speed will seam/swing , slower ball will cut ( eg off cutter or leg cutter ) with a little more bounce.
swing will depend on weather and seam will depend on condition of ball (old ball/new ball )
spin will depend on pitch, wear and tear
pressing shift too long ( for bowling top speed ) will result in no ball. height no balls and wides also implemented.
the bowler's run up will take abt 5 sec for both fast and spin and gives limited time to player to adjust line,length,seam,swing etc. This is to make bowling more challenging and enjoyable unlike other cricket games.
Grafix
the grafics have been made with a good 3d engine, like the one used in NBA live 2003. There are individual player names,faces,textures,fat,tall,short,slim players.
there are 30 international stadia, modelled accurately.
crowds and sounds have been implemented like
I would like to know which graphics card most of you use.
others:
there is generate innings option like blc,
odi tournament upto 5 teams anywhere in the world
including sharjah,toronto,singapore.
knockout tournament 12 countries in knockout tournament.
test series between any 2 countries in either of the two countries
WC 14 countries in any part of the world. ( more than one host country possible )
Commentary.
this hasnt been done , so please tell me which commentator you like best .We are thinking about getting Tony Greig and Ravi Shastri.
So guys, please help me out here.What we are looking for is to bring out a definitive game like FIFA 2002 or NBA LIVE.We want to release a new version every year like these titles.
We are hoping that we get endorsed by the ICC and we can name our game ICC Cricket 200x . Your suggestions and comments will help a great deal to bring out a cricket game that will really imbibe in itself the true spirit and passion of the sport and not disappoint once and for all[/color]
