Apparently this is how I animate on a DS. With a Cintiq pen and a miniature schnauzer perched on my shoulder.
On a more serious note, anyone play NyxQuest on WiiWare? Very excellent game, multitasking with Wii pointer controls just feels so natural and awesome on a 2D platformer.
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?

Lookin’ fiiiiiiiiiine.
..The dog, of course :\
You know, I don’t even doubt that you animate like that all the time.
I guess on PC for FPA, you crank it up a notch and place a horse or something on your shoulder.
*gasp* That’s the secret to being awesome at animating! The bigger the animal on your shoulder, the better the animation! I’m on to your secret Brad!
which ones the owner….
kidding, but its still a good picture.
Lost your stylus?
I like the dogs look: “I have no idea what this guy’s doing.”
Maya + Brad = 4EVER!!!!!!!!!
(I couldn’t figure out a girlier way to write that)
@FairlyObvious: Put xxxx ♥~ at the end ;D
Is that a special holder?
What holder?
*looks at post category* You actually made a goofy category? Sweet.
Sorry i mistook the black center bar for a holder. It’s acutaly just a black ds
