I have achieved two stumps, but not all three. And sometimes, the bails fall after 5 or 6 seconds the ball hits the stumps.

First of all guys, Superb work with the release.
Just Played the game the physics are amaing. Just one question. I thinki it might be a bug.. I had an instance where i tried bowling full length and moved the cursor forward but bowler still bowls short length...

Can't you play the straight drive!

Hmm...It happened once only..

Having played the game for about 15 minutes, I'd like to give it a thumbs up!

As everybody's saying, the physics and the animations have been worked upon really well and it shows when you play the game. That said, I feel the overall graphics could be improved, but I guess that wasn't your primary concern during this release. At first, the game seems to be a bit tough, but I feel that is probably because of the fact that I have hardly given it time. Plus it should become a bit easy when the artificial intelligence comes into play.

To keep it short, the game looks very promising.

Well done.

First things first. Brilliant effort guys, I hope all the positive feedback shows you how much this is appreciated, you've taken the first steps towards proving to everyone what a success this can be

One small thing. My bowler disappeared and I don't know how it happened and he never came back. It kept resetting, the batsman would take guard against an invisible bowler running in and then he would play and miss at an invisible ball Attached a screenie of it, if that helps

One more bug occured!!

I bowled a fullish length that is the red marker and the ball was bowled short pitched

My Impression & Review About The Art Of Cricket Alpha Release 0.1

Screenshots.

The game is fantastically build on good Alpha release graphics. The stadium looks pretty realistic, the ball, the players (Batsman + Bowlers) are good looking model.

What really impressed me is the bowling action of Brett Lee & Shane Warne are totally same. Great work on that thing JK & LM.(In alphabetical order too it's JK LM )

Now, batting is difficult as we have to control both the features. Ball trajectory feature is pretty good and bug free. Bowling is pretty good and Inswingers and out swingers are quite realistic not like fake Cricket 07 KUDOS for that.

There is a bug where if we bowl full sometimes good length bowl marker bowls a short pitch delivery and vice versa. I have caught that bug in a video and here it is.

Great Work JK & LM.

My expectations and things I would love to see in Alpha 0.2

Take your time first of all!! But introduce the AI and keep the Batting & Bowling different!!

Nothing other then that Keep up the good work TOAC Developers.

Really really promising stuff here, top work guys. Loving the animations, bowling is the strongest point of this release I'd say.
Batting wise, obviously the inability to play the short ball (no back foot), but the animations are really nice, and there is certainly lots of promise there too.
The only thing is that playing shots in different directions is pretty tricky. I can't seem to hit the straight ones to cover, only straight, and I'm really struggling to glance anything on the leg side, especially towards square leg. The leading edges are really nice, but I find the ball either going past me down the leg side or rapping me on the pads, no matter how I time the ball. Any tips?
All the best, I think this will turn out an excellent game.

 

[Zaxotes]

just played with the stuff it came with, and have a look!

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

That's high quality Zaxtos!!

Wow guys, absolutely outstanding effort. Also like the couple of Tendulkar shots that have been animated in.
