This will give some idea as to the scope planned for the game. The research needed is going to be fairly extensive.
My new bestest buddy in the whole wide world, Bumba
, has pointed us to a brilliant site that will make the task a lot easier. For the most part a lot of the research will involve the collation of data rather than genuine fact finding. The site is http://www.howstat.com and will be invaluable to us.
The actual collation of player research is going to be a little while off yet - if we do it too soon then the data will be out of date. However there are some things that I need to know asap. So I will divide this list into immediate and future research information. You also need to bear in mind that we do not need researchers for the ten test playing teams - the research for those countries will be directed at the first class teams that play in those countries (we will naturally have the test and odi squads from that information).
Oh, and if you volunteer to do one piece of research, you can choose to do more if you are feeling generous/keen...
Immediate -
- At least two Stadium researchers: We need pictures, field dimensions, and as much building information (Grandstands etc) as can be found on every first class ground used in world cricket. This is a biggie because I will be starting the stadium modelling very soon.
- A competition researcher: We need a person who can find all of the rules for all the competitions we plan to incorporate into the game (by rules I mean how many points for a win, amount of overs in a day/match etc).
- Two Team and Kit researchers: We need to firstly collate a list of every single side who plays in a first class competition of one of the ten test nations, and secondly some recent pictures of their one day strip. Add to that a list of all of the countries eligible to particpate in the ICC Trophy (The ICC Associate Nations like Scotlant and Namibia etc), and a recent picture of their one day kit.
Long Term -
- One or Two researchers for each of the ten domestic first class competitions.
- One or Two researchers for all of the ICC Associate nations.
- Two researchers for all of the ten test playing nations u/17 & u/19 sides.
- One ground records researcher
- One team records researcher
- One historical/stats researcher
I think that is all of them, although I feel sure I have forgotten something from the long term side.
Anyone interested should put their name down in this thread, and specify what they wish to research, and then add me to you MSN Messenger contacts using the passport address of scatterNOSPAM@bigfoot.com (remove the NOSPAM!).
Thanks
