Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

[kurtkz]

@Pat: The good news is that the camera system just worked - I didn't really need to change anything that being said I'm struggling in trying to set up decent camera viewpoints and behaviour at the moment.

Any suggestions? I haven't played any of the new cricket games so I don't know what the standard is now...

@itay: Can you check if your audio commentary is turned on please? If so, turn it off for now. I need to rework the audio commentary as it's not working properly.

EDIT: I'll disable it in the next release.

Audio commentary was already turned off when this crash happened

 

[kurtkz]

Hmm, I'm not sure why that's occurring...maybe you don't have all the latest updates? Can you try downloading the full version?

A test screen of the 3D camera...

 

[kurtkz]

OK, so I've implemented 3 cameras so far:

- bowler
- batsman
- birds-eye

Any other cameras I should implement?

 

[Pat]

Maybe try an action cam like in International Cricket 2010

 

[kurtkz]

@Pat: I'm going to sound really dumb, but what exactly does the action cam do?

 

[Pat]

It follows the path of the ball closely.

Check out the first half of this video:

[kurtkz]

Thanks for the video, Pat. I'll add that camera too (brings it up to a total of around 8 views). I'm still messing around with the sky and clouds (it looks pretty lame atm), but I should have a new demo soon...possibly sometime this weekend.

Reviews

Has anyone else noticed that following an umpire review, the ball always goes fast to square leg, and if there is no fielder in the area normally runs away for four overthrows!

 

[kurtkz]

@dmpcs: Four overthrows? Or four runs? Does it only happen on LBW reviews?

 

[kurtkz]

Anyone know where I can get a (low poly) 3D model of a stadium to use as a placeholder? I can't afford to commission one at the moment...(but I will if my savings allows it)

 

[kurtkz]

Some more 3D screens...
