Looking for a team for a baseball sim

Hi all-

Just curious if anyone out there would be interested on working on a baseball sim. Id really like to explore the realm of sports with blitz 3d. Baseball by far is one of the easiest sports to code, but is still a great challenge. Looking for a coder or two, and someone who is good at 3d modeling.

Sounds like a good Idea. Personally I cannot join any project cause I have enough to do with my current stuff. I'd suggest you start writing the game logic and if the gameplay is one there, you could release a demo, which would help to find people to join the team.

I guess you're going to have to try and recruit North Americans as Baseball is a bit of a mystery to us Euro Trash. :) It's a bit like Rounders though, isn't it?

rounders but over arm...:)

My brother was lead artist on Ken Griffey Baseball on SNES (the first one). The entire game was written in Manchester, England with an American Lead designer. It took a while but the team eventually 'got' baseball.

For some reason I ended being invited to a Baseball game in Chicago at Wrigley Field. What a boring sport in real life! It makes cricket look fast.

The game turned out pretty good though; it was on course to sell a million units until the players went on strike and all sales stopped dead. Baseball works well as video game.

I guy I used to work for once did a SNES version of baseball. Dont think it was the same game though as he was based in the Midlands, I think (RARE).

Rare did the second Ken Griffey game on the SNES. The first was done by Software Creations in Manchester.

Yeah, it's just 'rounders' with big burly men with goaties & a HEAP of spitting & fidgeting (ritalin anyone?) :P

On second thoughts, stick to Americans.

I posted a few of my ideas on the game:
