Congrats on launch Radius, I have no doubt this game will be a success after testing beta2.

Cant wait to get to work this morning so I can start playing!

Just notice a bug in Team selecton why all the Left hand Batsman are named as Right Hand Batsman and vice versa? Hope this will fixed soon.

And some of the player types are wrong. Swann is a right hand fasted bowler and Anderson was left handed. It ran quite slowly and during the game it was jerky, but that's most likely down to my comp. Got hammered because it was my first time trying to bat but it looks a decent game.

 

[Simbazz]

You are aware that you can change these players? Right?

 

[treva]

You can change their player types? I did not know. Although surely they should just be the same as real life to start with?

Wow, thanks for the quick responses fellas

Hello, just PM'ed you.

And some of the player types are wrong. Swann is a right hand fasted bowler and Anderson was left handed. It ran quite slowly and during the game it was jerky, but that's most likely down to my comp. Got hammered because it was my first time trying to bat but it looks a decent game.

treva, the players are all customizable. We didn't really go indepth with the exact attributes of each player since we knew users would change them up to what they wanted anyway. You can go to the 'Manage Team' page and fix this up.

About the performance issues, we're benchmarking constantly, and will soon reveal the most basic setup required to run HowZat smoothly. Rest assured, it will be wayyyyy lower than what's required by install-based Cricket games I mean, if you guys can run games like Cricket Revolution or even EA cricket for that matter, HowZat should be a piece of cake for your PC!

 

[treva]

Ok, thanks very much.

 

[Simbazz]

Trev, get your ass online, we'll have ourselves a game.

Is it just me, or does the lobby seem empty?

 

[treva]

first impressions, takes a while to load, but I'm guessing this will become faster as the game is developed

[treva]

One thing - All the people who you set as right handed bat and bowl left handed and vice versa.
