i modeled it off lee. gave me a lot of grief...but pulled it off eventually.

Just noticed this as well. In all curiousness now, do most of the bowlers have their respective actions? Also, is the stance same for all the batsmen?

well, for the bowlers i've done the following ones :

Brett Lee
Jimmy Anderson
Lasith Malinga
Paul Collingwood
Shane Warne
Virender Sehwag

and am thinking of doing a harbhajan singh action as well IF TIME PERMITS.

for the batsman, they dont have individual styles or stances unfortunately..
BUT you'll get a glimpse here and there through the shots.

IF possible then do Zak, Sachin, aymonds and bond/steyn.

That's ok really. With the kind of work you both and others have put into this, this looks fantastic. I'd suggest you to have a go at Muralitharan's action ahead of Bhajji's, that is if time permits.

well, murali action is such that no one else can use it really.
and since he wont play for more than a year on the international arena..
theres no point.

 

[Gaurav_7]

Yeah, fair point there. Nice work anyways.

Stunning work guys. Absolutely brilliant. Reminds us all again of what is possible.....how comes masses of people working fulltime on a cricket game can't even get close to this.

I know it isn't finished yet but it shows more potential than any other game I have seen or played. I hope software developers are watching. Some of them should be hanging their heads in shame.....

Anyway, great work guys, great work. Something positive to look forward to.

as of now, i'd give anything to do a bhajji and steyn action but i really dunno if its worth the time especially since there have been so many delays...

tbh, i love doing the bowling anims more than the batting ones.
batting anims are very rigid and technical and lot of attention has to be given to the bat angle, gloves attached to the bat properly, feet movement, follow through etc etc.....and FOR EVERY FRAME !!

whereas the bowling anims give me more flexibility and freedom to modify it according to my liking.

Absolutely! Those videos there really show the realism that actually has been missing in other cricket games.

On another point: what help (if any) do you guys need to help keep the momentum? I am sure there are plenty of people who could or would help. I am utterly useless at graphics etcetera but maybe there is some menial job that I or someone else could do to help free you up to do other things. I don't mean to stick my nose in, just trying to be helpful.......

thanks so much for the feedback.

it is such support that has kept us going for years.......and will keep on encouraging us to work with more vengeance and passion.

 

[Gaurav_7]

Yeah right, I think many people can/will help especially after seeing the kind of response for the logo creation.

 

[jkartik]

how about you guys help us get more exposure.

right now, we are too planetcricket centric. other than a few hundred people,not many are aware of an upcoming game known as TAOC.

and since the vidz have been received extremely well, i wouldnt mind if you guys do a bit of PR work and spread our name in the other forums, websites etc.

Good idea! Consider it my mission.... Seriously, if there is anything I can do, whatever, let me know. More than happy to help.
