Flash game developer Brad Borne's personal web site.
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?
…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?
quick test indeed

I’d kill for fancy pants wallpaper 8D
yeah that’d be cool
Yeah, icons, cursors, wallpapers, whatever you throw at us.
I agree with all of you. just “throw it on me, hu”.
FANCY THAT STUFF!!!
FANCY PANTS WALLPAPER!!
I would definately want that…
obv! i would love that!!! fancy pants in green pants would be cool ♥
Hey, I’d just like to say that the snail shell is sooo much better now. I used to struggle with it but now it… I dunno, whatever you did, it works. And the hole in level 2 is much improved. Keep it up!
Yes, would be AWESOME!!!!
Very yes to wallpapers.
Wallpapers = EPIC WIN.
Nuff said.
I forgot, how do you see your time again?
Sahiro: I’m sooooo glad to hear that, I’m perpetually paranoid that no one will ever notice any changes I make… (or even worse, that I make changes for the worse
IQ52: It’s in the trophy room.
everyone else: Guess I’m going to have to work on some wallpapers…
I don’t understand this version on the website. I can see it in a bigger size, but the sides are shaded and whenever a spider gets there they stop (like if they weren’t on screen, but you’re actually seeing them)…
Send it to AddictingGames
http://upload.addictinggames.com/
Maybe you have a different way of doing it, I don’t know…
gbuch: The version that I link to is just the swf file, that gets embedded into web sites, the web pages makes a boarder so you don’t see all that crazy stuff. It’s all very sloppy…
VideoGuy: Haha, addicting games, I just email them
I’ve noticed the swf extension. What I didn’t know was that there would be a difference between this link and the others you usually post. I mean, aren’t both being run by the browser built in flash player?
Also, I liked finding out what the spiders do when they think they’re not being watched. Though I imagined them doing other stuff, and not just being lazy…:D
Brad you didn’t answer my question, I ment don’t you press T to see your time while you are playing?
IQ52: Yes, you press T to see the time, but you have to start playing by the ’start game’ door. I didn’t want to advertise that too much, as I don’t want to make people feel like they have a time limit…
thanks ’cause last time I tried I just went through the level 1 door
Awnsome.
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.
