I wanted to make a cricket game where the story doesn’t end when the match does. The idea was to let you experience both sides of the sport: building your career as a player and running a club as a manager. Training, selection, squad building and transfers should feel connected, with decisions that matter across seasons. Initially, I focused on adding features. As the game came together, my focus shifted to making those features understandable and enjoyable. I had to revisit things like player positioning, oversized match avatars and the interface colours. Instead of replacing the original look entirely, I kept Classic as the default and added a warmer option so players could choose. The launch also taught me that finishing the game and being ready to release it are different things. Testing, purchases, advertising consent, payment verification and country availability all needed attention. My process became more deliberate: make a change, test it, check the actual result and then move forward. Now that it’s live, I want player feedback to guide what comes next, rather than just adding more features.
