Don’t try this at home!

Flash game developer Brad Borne's personal web site.
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 »

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 God, this is epic win.
This opens up a new range of possibilities, can’t wait to see some footage of this.
Keep the good work up Brad, you’re awesome.
Will you have a demo sometime?
I’t looks like it’s awesome!
Keep it up.
When World 3 will be done? :>
I can’t wait!
Will the pencil have a bigger role than in World 2?
Seems like it will…
Nice! As long as it’s only controlled by the keyboard, I’m happy.
Since you say it looks better animated, could you copy just this animation into an FLA and post it here (well, post the SWF, you know what I mean), just so we could see the animation in full form?
the pencil is awsome, but it needs to give fancy some sort of ability, other wise there is no point in having it, maybe fancy can use it to pole vault to platforms that he coulnt have reached before, anyways AWSOME!!
posted using wii internet: awesome!!!
Allso, you must be able to use the pencil while runing or else that will take a realy big toll on the gameplay…
but if you get it right, the game will be more awesome than ever.
@VG: Or, alternatively, take a quick video. Use Bing or something and get it up quickly.
I wonder if we could draw temporary platforms with it. If it’s a pickup item, that is.
