RagDoll Development

Posted by Zonk on from the hi-yaaa dept.

Gamasutra is running an interview with Mark Healey, developer on the Bullfrog title Dungeon Keeper and, more recently, developer of the Steam-powered beat em' up RagDoll Kung Fu. From the article: "GS: Were you influenced by any gesture interface work in particular? MH: Yes. I remember playing a demo where you could push crash dummies down some stairs, I forget what it was called, maybe it was 'Stair Dismount' or something like that. I almost got a little buzz that you could be like a puppeteer. " Update: 12/06 23:49 GMT by Z : Oops. It's on the Steam service, not made in the Source engine. Wrong (tm).

    Unfortunately, the interviewer failed to ask the most important question.

    Does Mark Healey have stairs in his house?

    Will you kindly just SHUT THE HELL UP, you moronic KARMA WHORE??

    Once ... JUST ONCE ... I'd like to see you actually gain karma (A) without your little minions following you, artificially bumping up your karma because you told them to, (B) without stealing .. sorry .. quoting from the article, and (C) using some genuine insight that is more than rehashing the article.

    I frickin' dare you! But you won't because you have no idea how to do it!

    The TripMaster Money formula:
    1. Quote from the article
    2. Add a one or two-line inane comment
    3. Flip a coin to decide whether or not to use that fu*king anime smile
    4. Post a link to another site because obviously the great TMM *always* knows about other links (aka Google)
    5. Wait for the boot-licking monions to come in and mindlessly click "Informative" when they see the author without even looking at the post itself
    6. ???
    7. Karma!!!

    Meanwhile, lots of other messages that are deserving of karma don't get it because the no-IQ mods wasted their points on Their Holiness TripMaster Monkey who can do no negative karma. It's just as bad as the idiots who fall for trolls and waste their mod points by applying negative mods when there are other posts deserving of positive mods.

    Fortunately, my non-AC account's karma is excellent, but not because of some non-intellectual zombies who follow me around and automatically view a quote from an article and a pity comment as informative.
