Rag doll kung fu!!!

[PowerMad]

Anyone heard of this game? Well, I'll give a short description. You play puppet master to a hero in a cheezy kung fu movie. It's a fighting game but fighitng doesn't consist of button mashing and pressing links of buttons to do special attacks, its about moving hte individual limbs of your rag doll to rack up combos and create your own fighting style.

This game is made by a small group of around 4 or 5 people, leader of the project is Mark Healey, one of the desiners of "fable" and "black and white".

The game fetures...

• Full control of your charecter
  
• 16 singal player levels
  
• Sevral sub games
  
• Secret levels and content everywhere
  
• 8 player multiplayer
  
• AI programmed to use the controls just like you do (in otehr words, they use a virtual mouse)
  
• Lots of weapons, from sticks to balls and chains to a pet dog.
  
• Chat box system, usful for online and finding secrets offline. (For instance, you can keep typing insults at your master and soon he will become pissed and attack you)
  
• Spells done thorugh 2 ways. 1, a way simaler to black and white, where you must draw shapes and such in air, such as a circle or spiral. And through striking hte right poses with your rag doll.
  
• Create your own custom model for use in online and off.

Thats crazy, this game lookes like its going to be a huge new thing for action fighting games, and ragdoll physics are hard, being a programmer myself I would never attempt this, and I love the way fables artwork was done, this looks really promising

Reading the log, you can really tell this guy is intent on making a quality game. He keeps adding and fixing and doing what's best for the gameplay. Just reading that made me sure that he was adressing all of the issues that I could have forseen this game coming to. For instance, you can't just jump all day and fling your ragdoll at someone, you need to use a circle motion before a jump and it counts as a spell so it takes up some power. AI also has been trained to fight in every way imaginable, hell, they even swing their weapons around when far away for some intimidating looks, just like in those ol' kung fu movies.
