Rag Doll Kung Fu on Steam

[Oct 13, 2005, 12:29 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Valve announces that Rag Doll Kung Fu is now available via Steam:

Rag Doll Kung Fu, a wildly entertaining new game from game designer Mark Healey, is available now via Steam for just $14.95.

Featuring a wide collection of single and multiplayer games plus outlandish cut scenes inspired by classic Kung Fu cinema, Rag Doll Kung Fu provides one of the most creative and unique game experiences delivered in years.

The game is the brainchild of artist and designer Mark Healey (who moonlights as a lead artist at Lionhead Entertainment). During last year’s Game Developer Conference, Healey presented Rag Doll to industry colleagues. Immediately after this presentation, several Valve employees invited Healey to visit Valve and discuss Steam distribution of Rag Doll Kung Fu.

Third, stop making updates mandatory especially before a game will launch. Allow the user to go ahead and play and then update later if he chooses to update at all.

I appreciate that it can be annoying waiting for an update to download (and Steam servers being too busy for big updates) but it means that everyone is on the same version - no splintering in the userbase. It is particularly helpful for new users as they want to install the game and play and don't want to worry about finding patches or having few people to play against because they don't want to update - it also prevents them being attacked via exploits that tend to exist in launch products, or from crashes that were fixed in the first patch.

The problem is that it isn't easy to compromise as many of the points we dispute are mutually-exclusive. I really like the idea of forced updates, you really dislike it. I think we just have to agree to disagree.
