- It's time to kick some ass, KUR is out of Early Access! - 17 March 2022
KUR is finally out! GO PLAY IT. It's been a long time since Realms Deep 2021, 7 months of early access and countless KURSDAY updates filled with feedback from all of you, our wonderful players and community. In the beginning, our goal was to create something that spoke to us - 90's humor, fun fast gameplay, and enough weapons with silly names to fill out our weapon wheel. Over time we've added even more great things - dual shotguns, voice lines by the wonderful Gianni Matragrano, and the super awesome boots akimbo upgrade. After all these updates filled with improvements (so much bug fixing and balancing) to the game it's safe to say that we are immensely proud of the game we've created with all of you to help us. Thank you! We get quite a few questions about KUR and Really Ragdoll's process creating it so we thought we'd answer a few here, too! What’s it like working on a game as big a…
- Patch #20: Ver 0.8.20 - Get Sucked - 4 March 2022
You didn't think we'd stop our weekly updates just because the full release is coming soon, did you? Updates - Shrinking large enemies increases the damage they take at a larger rate. - Balance changes to ammo drops and enemy encounters in levels 1-5. - Final boss has a deadly vortex attack. - Coach charges the player if they go behind the net. - OTIS's whirlwind attack is slightly shorter but he shoots slightly faster. - More sound effects added to Perfected Engineer, Coach, and various levels. Bug Fixes - Vendors now correctly save and load inventory quantities. As always, if you guys find bugs, broken stuff, or think the shotguns need a little more "oomph" - hop in our discord and let us know!
- DEV LOG ???: KUR IS LEAVING EARLY ACCESS! - 3 March 2022
Really Ragdoll Studios is excited to announce that their classically-inspired frenetic shooter KUR will be fully released on March 17th. Our comedic love-letter to flagship shooters of the 90’s and early 2000’s is coming to Steam after completing a short stint in Early Access. The game features a fully voice-acted protagonist, as well as over 20 lovingly hand-designed levels spread across six unique environments. As a mercenary in the intergalactic gun-for-hire trade, you take on the role of the cocky trouble-shooter who fixes problems and doesn’t ask questions… as long as she gets paid. A shadowy corporation has made you an offer you can’t refuse, and everything seemed great until you came face to face with a robot spider wearing a human skull. Now it’s up to you to try to make it out alive, and possibly uncover the true intentions behind the seemingly nefarious organization who brough…
- Cash, Balance, Polish Update KUR Version 0.8.19 - 28 February 2022

- Dev Log Patch #19 - Stupid, Sexy, Lab Assistant! - 23 February 2022
Hello everyone! My name's Blake - otherwise known as Ragdoll Dad. You'll have seen me replying to a few Steam discussions, comments, and helping y'all fix your games. I'm also pretty active in our Discord and I've been posting on the Really Ragdoll Twitter - I'm especially proud of all the terrible jokes. I volunteered to write this weeks Dev Log to answer some questions about the game and our community! Is it true that KUR is being developed by only two people? Yes! That's absolutely true - Brian Spain and Kehran Carr are the original creators and only members of Really Ragdoll. Both share a deep love for retro fps titles and have been hard at work on the development of KUR for the last two years. We're very proud of how far we've come and the ongoing achievement of weekly updates keeping our adorable little man-eating game alive. What's been the most fun weapon to develop? It's all bo…
- Patch 18: Ver 0.8.16 - we're making Bug Burgers? - 18 February 2022

- Dev Log: Patch #16 - Balancing Acts - 3 February 2022
You ever had someone tell you that your soup is good but it sorta taste like feet? Specifically in our case the KUR soup-of-the-day didn't have ENOUGH of that feet taste. Look - what we're trying to say is that we've reworked the boot a bit. Boot-Jumping now works on a 'buffer' and should behave as expected much more consistently. On top of this, the dashing and the basic kick no longer cost energy. The goal here is to make the boot and movement in general feel a bit more intuitive. Overall we think these changes should make utilizing the boot much easier & more fluid. Aside from the boot rework we've been busy fixing those pesky bugs and balancing the game! Some of you may have noticed the new vending machines in some of the recent patches. All ammo, weapons, health, and energy can now be primarily found in the vending machines available to purchase for Cash that you earn throughout th…

- Dev Log: Patch #13 - A Word from The Boss - 13 January 2022
From the desk of the Head Honcho, King of the Kick, and Duke of the Duel Pisties KUR is at a super fun stage for us right now! We are pouring the details in to make the world rich and immersive. It’s like being a game developer Santa delivering gifts to the levels; a few well placed decals here, some new environmental sound effects there, occasionally a well wrapped secret tucked away in a stocking. We’re also grinching it up with performance enhancements and bug squashing! With some luck we’ll even fit in some small stretch goals. But, unlike the ends of KUR levels, there isn’t a big sign and prompt letting us know development is over. It’s really hard to know when a game is ready. I’m sure for triple A studios and maybe even some large indies, they have a big enough pool of testers during development to make a pretty damn accurate decision. For a tiny indie team like us, it's really j…
