I can see the peak!
It’s been a while, yes, sorry about that. I have to admit that the game went on hold for about one month while Lucy’s sister and my best friend came out to Australia to see the sights and do a little traveling. Lucy and I have also moved to Melbourne and now have a nice little studio flat in St Kilda with a sea view! Unfortunately we are out of money so Lucy is back to working in The Alfred Hospital (she’s a nurse) and I of course am programming every hour that God sends in the hope that New Star Soccer 4 will be finished before we leave Melbourne in three months, but don’t hold me to that! So what’s new? Well today I have at last some gameplay footage to delight your eyes and get that inner footballing genius within you all excited! These are running much slower than normal game speed but that’s due to the video capture software.
Let’s start with a little goal I scored today. The attacker receives the ball and does well to avoid the slide tackle before knocking the ball wide. As the keeper rushes out the 2nd striker squares the ball to his partner who had continued his run into the box and has a simple tap in. If you look closely you’ll see the goalscorer run off and celebrate with his arms outstreched. The 'aeroplane' is one of four celebrations that you can perform after scoring a goal. The others are sliding on your knees, standing with your arms raised, or doing a funky dance. It should be a nice little reward when you score a goal. Here you go…
This next clip demonstrates a nice little passing move I put together before unleashing a shot that the keeper saves. I should have really taken the ball on and looked for the killer pass, but I wanted to test the keeper. Actually I am really happy with my work this week as the keepers are now very very hard to beat. At the moment all the keepers have 100% stats, so when I implement their skills properly, agility, handling and so on, they won’t be quite so super human. This video also shows how versatile the camera is. As you can see it’s a bird’s eye view of the action and old school gamers that fondly remember Dino Dini’s classic Kick Off can actually play in this view if they wish…
This clip shows the computer controlled team crossing the ball and putting the ball in the back of the net with a diving header. Unfortunately for him it was offside, ha! The Com player also uses the “knock” move which taps the ball further away from you than normal dribbling. The AI still needs a bit of work but overall he’s starting to play a pretty solid game and is quite tough to beat.
Here’s one for you defenders out there. A slide tackle to block the pass then send a defence splitting ball through to the forward who scores. It’s a little to easy to get through the back four at the moment so I’ll be working on tactics a bit this week.
So as you can see the match engine is running nicely and is almost complete. I have a bunch of slight glitches to fix and improvements to make which will hopefully be completed this week, then it is back to the career side of the game to complete a few sections like relationships and newspaper reviews before pulling all the loose strings together for final testing. I’m very pleased with the match engine as I’m really enjoying the matches so these are exciting times for me and I definitely feel as though I’m in the final stretch. Keep an eye on my YouTube page because from now on I'll upload anything that I think you might find interesting.
