I am currently working on the bowling animations – in particular the fast bowler run ups. JK is working on refining animations for batting and bowling, as well as adding some new batting strokes. The new batting strokes include the ‘Paddle Sweep’, ‘Baseball style stand and deliver’ and ‘kneeling’ version of the latter. There will also be a flick/lob over the keeper’s head shot. Hand animating is time-consuming but we are doing some great work, hopefully can showcase all this stuff soon.
Once done with the bowling run up stuff I will be focusing my attention back to the wicket keeper bugs and then back to fielding, where there is still a lot of work to do with the AI. JK will be looking at improving/adding animations to wicket keeper/fielders during this time. I truly believe that once we get the core stuff done then the rest is going to move nice and quick.
Don’t forget to check the forums for more updates on the community stadium making efforts – some great work there, very promising stuff.
