Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

Nope, they've more or less vanished from the forums. The forums on their site is also just about dead. I even contacted people who know (knew) them. No dice.

Its a real bummer that. I mean it wouldve been great for collaboration of some kind.

One thing i've noticed going back and playing TAOC is the ball physics seem to be more randomness to them, if that makes sense. I mean dont get me wrong, the physics in Cricket Heroes are brilliant but the times when Ive played TAOC and been bowling and got the faintest of of edges and you see it actually move off the bat, its a great thing.

Is that something you'll be working more on as time progresses?

Thats what happens when you get a distributor who says never release another beta to the public

@plexus: Not for this version, no. I can't justify rewriting the physics engine without some kind of backing. It's a possibility in future, but that all depends on funding.

@DM: Yup, totally agree. I have no idea why they signed that agreement.

Kurt you need to take down the old screenies! So many screenshots from the game on the site that are nothing like how it looks now.

 

[kurtkz]

Agreed I'm working on the new site atm (along with new screenies & vids). I'll take down those screenshots in a bit though.
