Hey kurtkz,will you make a 64bit version of cricket heroes?

 

[kurtkz]

@p23456789: I'm trying my best to find a machine with Win 64bit installed, but my time is limited at the moment. I *will* eventually do it, but I can't give you a date when this will be done :/

 

[Near]

Well,I guess I can wait,at least it will eventually be created,which is good enough for me at the moment.

Why do you want serial key and all?

Why dont you allow all to test? Just see TOCG and that thread is going awesome. There can be sometimes people get bogged down to PM(Like me).

Anyways BOL

Once the full version is out or you remove restriction I will definitely play the game

Hi rahulkhush,

all valid points. I've decided to release a registered version to beta testers so that they can find the majority of bugs and make suggestions before the game gets to you guys. This cuts down on the number of bugs you guys have to deal with and therefore makes the game more enjoyable (in my opinion).

Also, TAOC is dead isn't it?

Cheers
Kurt

I was not talking about TOAC

I was talking about TOCG. Although this is a 2D game and thats just simulation

Aaaah, OK. That project looks interesting - I guarantee you though, this project is a lot more difficult to debug Once it becomes stable enough I'll open up more options in the free version.

Cheers

Did you had a look at my post in the previous thread?

 

[kurtkz]

@Meet: There were quite a few :P Can you combine them into one (only the outstanding issues) and post it here?

 

[Meet]

(only the outstanding issues)

What do you mean by it?
I am talking about this

Its way too annoying that when the bowlers pitches there, a wicket is ensured.

 

[kurtkz]

@Meet: Are you sure you're timing the ball correctly? I can hit those balls just fine. What shots have you tried playing? Or are you bowling to the computer and you keep getting wickets?

 

[Meet]

I have tried each and every shot.Its impossible to hit the ball pitched in that area or some of the areas surrounding it.

Guys you can't even imagine how technically we tweaked the AI when we started the project . Our main aim was to make the AI as realistic as possible and we succeeded. Trust me, Kurt has really dedicated a lot of time for this game. We don't care if people compares it to any other game or big commercial games.

@Meet: Man that overlay looks cool . It matches with the logo colour and background. Good work there
