There’s been some terrible accusations that Cutie Pants might just be a reskinning of Fancy Pants Man!
In fact, they won’t control a thing alike. She won’t run nearly as fast, she might not even be able to run up half pipes like FPM can!
So to make up for that slight shortcoming…
With a little help from Kabootle, she shouldn’t have any problem getting through levels…
Just no one tell PETA, k? 
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?

oh and I also agree with WJUK.
Haha I’m pretty sure we’ve talked about the pencil before. FPM uses it for snailshell golf in FPA2. But ditches it almost immediately.
I could potentially see it returning in FPA3 but knowing Brad he’s got some crazy use for it; like the pencil acts as a surf-board or something.
yeah, the pencil surf thing would definitely be cool!
also it needs more difficult baddies to fight. maybe some with projectiles. like the hammer bro in mario bros. ™
I’m sure brad could make something cool!
but there DEFINITELY need to be mini games!
I think he should make a fancy golf mini game where (*since fancy golf doesn’t count strokes) it times you to see how fast you can get it in the hole..
also, the trophies should be harder to find..
i like the secret door one in world one. he should do more stuff like that, maybe have secret rooms behind walls and stuff that you have to find a certain switch to open….
maybe?
Please Brad. If you use the room idea could you in cloud my name in some kind of credits? (Because of stupid irony my name is going to be well hidden (of course)).
NO!!!! No edit button so I cud fix my mistakes!!!
Ah, the PENCIL! That can be the grab-and-go item I was trying to come up with! EXCELLENT! Still, emphasis on grab-and-go, FPM shouldn’t have it the whole time.
Maybe stuff should have durability or something. So that you can’t use ‘em all the time.
@Brad: Are you sure you set the options for “Registered Users” and not “Anonymous Users”? That may be why there’s no edit button.
@Daxter: Don’t start asking for credits now, it will only get Brad annoyed with you. Although he probably will put you in if he uses the idea. He’ll specify the rules later on.
The pencil as a grab & go item sounds like a pretty good idea. Maybe FPM drops it if he gets hit or something?
