Releasing info before E3 seems like the cool thing to do, so here’s an early version of Cutie Pants’s run cycle so I can get some feedback on it and all that.
Hopeful there will be more test videos like this so you guys can see the progression of the animations.
Of course, watch it on YouTube.com itself for a much higher quality version…
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?

Brad, you are awesome. Only geniuses think of characters like CPG, then act on it and integrate it and get stuff done with it.
AFTW APPROVES!
thats soo cool
will she have more abilities than that, because otherwise she would be rather useless. double jump? vault? rope swing?
I got it! As for the door opening animation, maybe she can pull the door, fail, then pull harder, fail, then pull really hard and succeed. Just a thought.
can FanyPants & CutiePants do the same things? (or does CutiePants take out her purse and smacks someone with it?)
Oh… We were already talking about this earlyer. Cutiepantsgirl or CPG for short is going to have a cat named Kabootle. Cpg wil be able to use Caboodle to do certent tasks. Posabaly (I beleive we discussed it a while back) cabootle will be able to use his/her claws to hold onto a ceiling and cgp will swing across gaps on her tail. Cpg also is going to be slower but will have a double jump.
hey brad, whats the animation like for when you press down while running on CPG? does she do like a cart wheel or something?
Dose Cutie pants get hert in the game and what cind of
enames will she have to fase in the game.|=^]
Brad could you make a video showing haw Fpm mets Cpg
and Fpm is sorprised that he has a sister but she
alredy new’thats way she was looking for him.=*]
What will the trofes be in Cp’s world:>
