With rich visuals, realistic animation and crisp camera movements the game easily transports the gamer to the scene of action. It imbibes the thrill, fun, and high voltage drama of limited over cricket very convincingly.

A team of 15 artists, animators and programmers worked on the games for a year to achieve the desired result.

Technology behind the game

Blender: Low polygonal 3D modelling, uv unwrapping, rigging, character animation and seamless game environment are completely done with Blender 2.49.

Unity 3D: The completed assets were exported from Blender and put together through Unity 3D game engine. The same was used to achieve inbuilt physics in the ball movement, sunlight effect, collision impacts, audio simulations and players animation, which create an overall realistic ambience, simulating a live match
