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?
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.

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?

Acavado, I love hearing in depth criticisms about my games, honestly, that anyone even believes that FPA is worth critiquing is unbelievable awesome to me.
I have to agree with you there, I thought that the levels of World 2 were a huge step up from World 1, but that’s certainly not saying much, heh.
Setting is one of the big things that I want to I improve on with World 3, and being an old-school gamer, I’m going to pack ad much challenging gameplay as I can I to World 3, without getting in the way (I actually got complaints about the game being too difficult in some parts). If you could clarify, though, win which ways did you feel the levels were boring? That they were just too easy, there wasn’t enough variance in the gameplay, or the actual setting just wasn’t interesting (like, you couldn’t send someone a postcard from a level in W1 or W2), or there wasn’t enough interactivity (jumping over the candle in level 5 in World 2 doesn’t do anything, for example)?
I think it would be good if there was character progression, but I don’t really think Fancy Pants should talk, much like Link from legend of Zelda.
Of course we don’t him to “break the 4th wall” so let others do the talking.
I think that the levels in world 2 were very good scenery wise, and brad did make some improvements on some interactivity in world 2 (or at least i think so) World 1 was kind of choppy when you moved back and forth, especially in the air, but brad also did a great job of fixing that to, as acavado said, its like he’s animated oil. I would be really anxious to see the game go a little bit more in depth with the character progression and an action button, and i would be very willing to run through world 2 or ME2D a couple more times while i wait
both great games btw^^^ loved everything about ME2D btw, couldnt find a single thing wrong with that game
I would say that, although the levels ARE works of art, there’s nothing particularly challenging about each one in progression. Perhaps new elements could be added along the way, making it more difficult to complete Level 4 than Level 1.
But new abilities for the character himself? That’s a tough one to decide on. Such an addition would be somewhat senseless, since you couldn’t replay the levels without having more abilities than you did the first time. This could be counteracted by altering the replay function, though…
Speaking of artfully crafted levels, will there be guest artists in World 3 as there were in World 2?
I think it would be a good one BUT tou need to put
way it’s on thare thow.
has to be cute
I think it would be nice to see some new moves, and possible some weapons to fight spidies with. Also, you could add some higher evolved spidies, such as you ahve small ones, You could ahve medium sized(medium lvl) and large spiders(harder lvl) With the lvles you could add special things to them, such as you did with mister ebil bunny and sleepy penguin, but not as hard. to conclude you would have to jump on him twice, kick him into a wall, then slide into him, thus killing thy foul beasty.
Med, just slide, daze, *pickup* and throw.
** Added feature. picking up thins and throwing them. like spikes in the ground and having a botton. something would have to hold down the button or else they would come back again. you could put a med spidie in that general area. kick it to daze it, and throw it on the button. (no matter how many times you kick a med spidie, it doent die, only daze)
Hope i gave you some help ~~xX Miki Xx~~
