Remember, it’s just a teaser! There’s no baddies yet that actually take advantage of the combat, and very limited audio, but I wanted you guys to be able to check out the bunch of animation I’ve been working on for way too long now.
Sometimes you just gotta go a-stompin’…
———–
Video Q&A (to make this easier on me, gonna try and answer the more general questions here):
How does sheathing the pencil work?
- He does it automatically during normal levels, after running a bit, or jumping. No separate button, but for now, ducking forces a sheath.
Does this mean that old levels are getting redone for World 3
- Maybe, maybe not, I just still like the first level of the first world of FPA, haha. Soooo much better with the newer physics, too.
Should FPA carrying the pencil on his back instead of it disappearing?
- Probably, I’ll have to do some tests, as long as it’s not distracting.
Is there a separate key for using the pencil?
- Yeah, it’s A or D right now. All the moves are done by either tapping or holding one of them. So it’s only one button, just set to either of those right now.
Can the ricochet scratches hit other enemies?
- They better, would be a wasted opportunity if they didn’t 
Might have to fiddle with the trajectory to make that easier.
Parts that take specific advantage of the pencil? / Many baddie sections
- Absolutely.
Bring back those hideous and terribly drawn flying dog / dragon things from World 1!
- I really should, huh? Man, those were embarrassing…
Will there be a running attack?
- There certainly should be, there isn’t one animated now, though.
XBox Live and/or PSN?
- I’d sure love to. But yeah, that’s a full port there. Regardless, I want World 3 to be as good if not better than most games that come out on either of those services
Separate post on pencil fencing?
- Nope! Hence the magic of the edit button! Love you honey! ; )
I’m sorry, I didn’t directly quote John Ratzenberger. You’re right they could’ve thought I was insulting them.
BTW Brad, what sorta enemies DO you have planned?
Will there be a miniboss, by any chance?
Haha, well I was half kidding with that
Got a few that are half done, right now it’s split between baddies that I want to make because they’d be fun to fight, and baddies that will just be there for some diversity (so they more or less act like the spiders). We’ll see how far I get with them, I might post some screens eventually. Still finishing combat for now though.
Miniboss? Maybe, but bosses take forever to make, so we’ll see if I have time…
Not even a clue of what they ARE though?
Please, just tell me if they’re bugs or not?
More than just bugs.
And some of them are quite angry.
Those are all the clues I needed…
Oooohhh double post. Shame on you Brad.
But anyway any idea on what the final boss will be like??
And an even better question; how long till its released?(:D)
Hey, Brad is THE admin, I guess he can double post.
I CAN HAZ: more than one angry mouse per level?
or would the toothpick ninjas be a moving form of angry mouse?
FLING TOOTHPICK ATTACK!
Some are quite angry?
Are we going to see a return of the angry penguin from World 1?
yeah! the panguin! (sings happy song to self)
oh, guys! check out MY new game called parallels! its pretty shweet!

I think I just fell through the level, between going from the bottom to the top
Other than that, loved it. Gimme moar levels! >:O
@jesus_minime: Do you use AS3 or AS2?
@ Brad: How many frames do you use for run cycles?
as3? you can’t POSSIBLY use as3 and still be true Borne Games fan!
lol, i’m just kiddding, i just use it because its simpler and i didn’y feel like learning as3, although after i’m done this project i’m going to get back into animating again.
*it meaning as2
I use AS2 as well. I only just learned it when AS3 came out.
i’m seeing baseball! instead of just golf!
I like the baseball sound it sounds so real:*)
Are you almost done with fancy pants adventure 3 yet????? I cant wait any longer!!!!!!!
Will there be a spin attack?
Wait. Will this mean you will have to use the pencil under water? Awesomeness. I also remember countless times in W1 when I would duck down that giant slope, hoping to slide, but instead would end up sliding while ducking and hurting myself. Good times…
Hey Brad,
Thanks so much for all the time and and effort you put into making these amazing games so flawless. I can’t wait to see World Three.
Just wanted to say: I personally think it would be cooler for him to pull the pencil out of nowhere. I think having him carry it on his back wouldn’t be as cool. For one thing, he wouldn’t look like he used to.
Thanks again!
