Version 1.5 is released, gah, finally! If you’re a site hosting my game, grab the latest version from here, if there are any sites that you guys especially like, tell them to update, or give me their address and I’ll try to get ahold of them.
Next up on the to-do list: Standalone versions with full quality audio. Woo!
I’ve also been getting requests for FPA art lately, would anyone be interested in some icons, desktop wallpapers, or things like that?
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?

Is it going to Teagames? I know they have World 1 there. (That was actually the first place I played it
)
IQ: Yeah, if you could just go through level 1, it would shave too much time off and be kinda unfair.
VG: Don’t know, it’s exclusive to AG until september, but if it’s sitelocked, they’re sometimes lenient with it (so if you see the game branded on a different site, don’t worry).
i love this game!!! i noticed that in the updated version theres those mouses again! heh i loved those dudes.
and also are you going to make another fp? like world 3 or something? it would be totally cool;; i’d play it
So, um, silly thing happened: I was playing around on Level 3, when, as I was shooting up from the cannon, the spider that is normally up on the platform decided it would instead fall straight down, through it.
I tied replicating it, but to no avail. I assume I was just moving too fast, at exactly the wrong frame, or some other set of incredibly rare events. What I did manage to screen-capture was this spider: http://img357.imageshack.us/img357/3379/22032612gs8.jpg
He was just standing there, minding his own business, bobbing his head up and down. Fancy Pants man decided he would take a little nap under its watchful eye.
hawkaris: Heh, you seem to be one of the first to file a bug report and actually get it. With the frame based code, it’s possible to have instances where just the wrong frame comes at just the wrong time, and have weird things like that happen. Plus, hitTesting seems to be terribly unreliable when the screen is moving. Not to mention, my code is pretty sloppy. Hey, I’m here to make games, not code databases! But anyways, I’ll try to have a look at that, there might be a quick fix for that…
hi brad icons would be awesome just make them vista compatible please contact notdoppler.com and update fancy pants. FANCY PANTS RUULESS
Hm, I was thinking more of icons for AIM or whatnot not really system icons, I really don’t know how to make those, and I don’t have Vista.
I’m also going to poke around in the platform code for just a bit more before I get more sites to update, but they’re on the list.
