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?

Out of curiosity: Are there any plans for dynamic water levels? Like traversing a cave which then gets filled with water etc.
No one noticed that the backflip is brand new?
Now you say so, his arms used to grab his feet halfway the jump!
Nice job , it looks much more acrobatic this way.
Hey, I dunno if you heard, but next year, when Flash CS5 comes out, there’ll be an option to port your flash games right to iPhone or iPod Touch, all you need to do is do a little extra programming, and some new controls. Now, I remember in an interview, you said you thought Fancy Pants on iPhone would be fun. I can haz Fancy Pants 3 on iPhone? :3

I saw the new back flip!
Oh and BTW… Wasn’t the watter running/swimming my idea?

Glad to see it made it into the game. I knew you could pull it off and make swimming fancy!
Oh and…. I can be in credits….PLZ?
Oooooooh… I know this is a weird thing to notice, but I LOVE the way his hair flops down when you land. Nice addition.
And of course, the swimming is just plain awesome. The backgrounds do a good job of that 3D with 2D thing. Nicely done.
@Frozoth: You mean parallax scrolling? That the background layers move at different speeds?
Is it just me, or can anyone else imagine an epic level with a pirate ship on the sea or something?
And Brad: When’s the ETA on the demo so we can try this stuff out?
@Nyubis: Exactly. I wasn’t completely sure what parallax meant, but that’s it. I need to keep up on my super-cool flash game lingo.
Brad, you’re a f- legend in your own time.
