Yep, that’s right. World 2 will actually have some sort of story. Don’t worry, nothing too long, not much dialogue, I promise!
So that’s the mayor. And he’s giving you some ice cream as a present. Yes, I based the entire plot of World 2 on the mayor of Squiggleville giving you some ice cream.
You’ll have to play the game to see why he gives you the ice cream and what happens once you take it from him, but I think it’s an awesome plot. Sure beats saving a princess, no?
Not much else to say that hasn’t been said better elsewhere.
I really started creating digital content once I got my first Mac, a now ancient PowerBook G4 (clocked slower than my current phone, imagine that). I first got into Flash games by creating stopmotion animation, and I got into that because I enjoyed video editing, thanks to in no small part by Apple’s focus on media creation with iLife and FireWire (an utter God-sent during the time of DV cameras).
So here’s to (as The Onion playfully puts it) the last American who knew what the heck he was doing.
…Windows. And Flash?
The iPad is epic win. Maybe I’ll finally answer my massive backlog of emails (sorry everyone who’s emailed me recently!).
Need some feedback, guys! No, not about the pirate! Read more »
Don’t try this at home!
(Oh and click the pic for a larger version)
Sorry for the utter lack of updates on World 3 (though that seems to be the norm nowadays, eh?), keep a heads up, though, Ill be posting some new footage sometime tonight or tomorrow 
Good stuff, I promise.
I’ve been adding all the engine refinements from ME2D back into FPA. Crazy how much better the game looks with character rotational smoothing. No more jitters, yay!
Fancy Pants Man now has 3 separate run cycles, want to add a whole bunch of different jumps too. I’m nuts. Got a lot of animating ahead of me. Good thing I love animating.
Here’s something that bugs me to no end. I am not Justin Long, you are not John Hodgeman.
Apple uses actors to represent their products, Mircrosoft defines their users by what products they buy. Huge difference there.

So when I’m not doing concept work for World 3, I’ve been playig Super Metroid. Never beat it before, so I figured I should buy it from the Wii VC and do just that. Amazing game. So, I’ve gotten a few emails and such asking about puzzle elements in FPA, nothing overpowering, but what would you guys think of some sort of level or character progression in World 3?
Hey guys, so I’m trying out a new sidebar thingy, something that would allow me to make smaller posts that don’t push down more important posts (like pictures of various pets on my shoulders).
What do you think of the idea? Is the site too thick now? Should I just sell my soul and finally get a twitter to place up here?

You NEED to make another demo
I’d like if the mayor was a stick man…
Or something like this: http://www.1976design.com/blog/images/69a.gif
I am glad for the absence of princesses in the plot. plus there’s also ice cream. win-win.

hey dannieman.that’s how i found this blog.i clicked on the top 10 and i was pretty sure FPM 2 was going to be on it.turns out it’s #1.i also like Phosphor.
anyways, interesting storyline…
but why is the mayor a guy and not a stick? but…it’s your decision. i’d like to request an idea for the game. is that allowed? anyways, i think that if you had some type of 3d element in the game, it would be cool. maybe like a level where you get to walk around in 3d environment, like Super Paper Mario.
The Mayor’s not a stick figure because the whole ‘world’ of characters is doodles, not necessarily stick figures. As for 3d… uh… it takes a lot to get Flash to do 3d… faking it, maybe, but that’s not something I’d want to do just yet.
hey we learned something in this post that is very valuable
you can see through fancy pants man’s head
You could always see through his head…
icecream
Brad, ice cream FTW, yeah, but make Fancy Pants a GF FTW, itll be cool, and make it so you have to unlock her and play as her, it’d be cool
(just a suggestion, pls dont flame me)
