Merry Christmas!

696

As much as I would have liked to have World 2 out already, being able to work less and actually enjoy the Christmas holiday has been quite nice. I’ve also been working on a few small things in the game that I wouldn’t have been able to do if I didn’t have the extra development time, if that’s any consolation.

Either way, Merry Christmas!

    I’m back guys, after a short hiatus.

    Nice song man. Awesome pic Brad, I’m hoping there is a level where we get to actually drive a sleigh… or at least drive the snail. That snail is frickin’ awesome! SNAIL FTW!

    Oh and I nearly forgot, Merry Xmas guys!

    lol, I think it’s because everyone’s so busy. I know I am.

    What with all my college extension work to do, ninjas to kill, pirates to assasinate, spiders to jump on…

    You get the picture. 😛

    lol, you probably are old. To me, anyone over 21 is old.

    It’s so nice to be young. Late nights and even later mornings are the dish of the day for me lately. Ah crap, it’s 4:39AM according to my computer clock. I was meant to sleep earlier tonight… ¬_¬

    Oh well, I’ll try again tomorrow night. I have to get back to my usual sleeping schedule for when college starts again or else I’m *beep*’ed.

    surprise. surprise.

    anyways, brad can wash his worries away by spending unlimited time with his gf and by getting drunk.

    which, these would make FPA2 a longer wait.

    He deserves a break every once in a while. He has been working on this pretty much whenever he can and he has to put up with us to boot! I would have clawed out my eyes by now.

    😛 jk

    lmfao. Wait, so I’m older than most people here?

    Sweet. That automatically means I have dominion over everyone younger than me. MUHAHAHA!

    I feel so ebil.

    Hey Nyubis, welcome and all that. Well, its supposed to still be about FPA, so I certainly won’t call any questions about the game off topic, haha.

    For the beta, I added a few keyboard shortcuts that won’t be on the real game. I made p change the color of the pants while I was working on the color cycling code for the real gam (it needs to be more complex now if that’s any hint), and just left that in when I copied all the new code over to the beta. Same thing with the shift button (which I actually wish people would press before taking a screenshot of a bug, it shows exactly where the walls and ground are).

    I just want to say, I’m offsetting this topic’s carbon footprint by, uh, telling a tree it’s been doing a mighty fine job lately, or something…

    the shift thing kinda freaked me out at first.

    I’m thinking,

    “OH MY GOD. I BROKE THE BETA.” I pushed random keys trying to figure out which one did it for like 2 minutes. =\

    Thanks a lot Brad. =P

    January 8th…that’s like in 10 days.

    IT’S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN.

    wait a minute, i can’t follow.

    what’s up with the tree behind the cannon?

    And what is a “jello”? (my native language isn’t English)

  38. WJUK

    I think what Brad (aka DrNero) is referring to is the cannon in the BETA levels. He’s suggesting that there’s a tree behind it.

    And jello is basically jelly. It’s like a gelatin dessert of sorts.

    And since you’re new here, you probably won’t understand the whole “stapling jello to a tree” thing. It all derived from a little saying I said a few BETAs back.

    ‘The person who said that anything’s possible has obviously never tried stapling jello to a tree.’

    Then came numerous efforts of trying to staple jello to a tree… all failed.

    @DrNero: Well, it is kinda hard to look behind the cannon… since everything is like… you know… 2D. There I said it. The cat is now out of the bag. The proverbial llama is now in the ocean (?).

    @WJUK In the background, ya know, parallax scrolling? 😛

    @Nyubis No clue, I could get the game to count them, but I never really bothered, that and I’m not sure if I took out the unreachable squiggles…

  48. WJUK

    Wait a sec… you are using parallax scrolling. I just went back to the BETA and noticed that the different layers in the background actually move at differrent speeds!
