Yes, *that* Ashes Cricket 2013. The one that's basically the next Big Rigs in terms of obvious beta.

To get to the debug menu, first you need to patch a certain file so the game starts in debug mode rather than retail mode.

So just open up your favourite .NET assembly decompiler + patcher (I use Reflector with Reflexil, that's just a personal choice, JustDecompile as a free alternative should work as well), and open up Game_Data\Managed\Assembly-CSharp.dll (thanks a lot Unity for your non-obfuscated easy-to-patch dlls!)

Go to GameEnvironment.isRetail() and patch it to always return false

The CIL for this is:

ldc.i4.0

ret

Then after replacing the original with this patched dll, you can go open up Game.exe and you'll notice something different straight away: debug text on loading screens

During a game, the ` (backtick) button does THIS:

(click for full size)

You may notice you're stuck in the Unity console. Just click your left mouse button and control should switch to the debug menu, which you can use the arrow keys to navigate.

Some of the options (instant win, instant lose, instant draw etc) are nicely self-documenting. Others I guess aren't.

Here's a list of debug / slew mode keys, taken from the code, as the game itself has a nice habit of only documenting the xbox 360 controller keys. (Yes, there's plenty of xbox 360 stuff in the code too.)

Looks like you can't use half of slew mode without an xbox 360 controller. Nice, isn't it?

15 days after the release and we already get this.

Hmm... I see some interesting options here, like "DebugResetDelivery" and "DebugAutoBat", alongside increasing some settings of the slew.

I may get to check some of the options here.

Also, if you want a look, seeing as it was pulled from Steam the only way to get it is to torrent it.

It would be nice to see a a patch, but the article seems to coming out okay otherwise.

Also, hah. "Keep Circulating the Tapes" indeed. With the potential of being one of the worst games ever released, a lot of people would probably track down torrents just to see how awful the game is.

I can't blame to the publisher for trying to protect the Ashes name, although the website for it appears to still be up and the forum for it is filled with spambots. Seems 505 Games blames Trickstar for the game being so sloppily worked on.

Also, they have postponed a true "final" version of the game to July 2014. This means it's apparently not the final version anymore. :/

It seems they're not acting like the developers of Big Rigs.

EDIT: Scratch this, I got the info wrong.

Interesting. Do you have any source for that?

If this is true, then that's a nice proto we have.

Argh... I got the info wrong, sorry.

I have mistaken July 2013 (old news) for July 2014.

The production of this game was cancelled to save Ashes reputation, but still it's obvious it's one of the games the "final" version isn't what the developers wanted.

Heh, never mind then.

Also, regarding Big Rigs.. didn't the Big Rigs devs put out another game on Steam more recently, then acted like a complete douche when everyone yelled at him at how broken it was?

I'm referring to Infestation: Survivor Stories, of course. (todo: check that game)

I'm referring to Infestation: Survivor Stories, of course. (todo: check that game)

Oh, I see, that infamous game known as the "reincarnation" of The War Z, "another" Steam title from the creator of Big Rigs, which suffered the very same fate.

It's so bad it's almost funny to see all the bugs they didn't fix. Other times it's not. :/

Making an awesomely (bugged to heck) "game" always requires debug routines, especially if they take much more space than the " "normal" "game" " itself.
