A short report just to get us back on schedule. A look at a very new / rough level, with some new effects I’m adding.

- Thanks, Steve
10/07/2011 | 8:39 PMNot 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.

The iPad is epic win. Maybe I’ll finally answer my massive backlog of emails (sorry everyone who’s emailed me recently!).

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?

personally, i think he should just show us updates on a bunch of the stuff he’s showed us so far. i don’t want to know the main concept of EVERY level before i even play the game! that takes all the osim surprise. i think you shouldn’t even show cutie pants off at all until the beta. we need surprise!
Brad, the crabs are amazing. I got bored of world 2 cuz of spiders, spiders, and more spiders. Please keep working on new baddies. Looking forward to FPA3!
P.S. I hope you can pick up pirate swords when they are dropped.
P.S.S What does P.S stand for???
post script
I’m still not sure how the backflip could be considered ‘choppy’, though, unless you’re referring to the matrix backflip, which needs very badly to be inbetweened…
no, the normal one is fine. the matrix one just ha s a lot of missing frames. sorry for not being more clear.
The hair in the matrix flip looks silly. It looks a bit like fancy’s head just turned into a fan…
AWESOME REPORT! LOVE THE CRABS. It be funny if fancy pants doggy paddled in water if you don’t move him for a long time.
@Beeman98: Well he treads water when he’s not moving, if that counts…
About the backflip yeah that’s still not finished
Jerks, making me think there was something wrong with the backflip that I actually did finish…
Brad, this looks so great!
I really love how “homey” this whole process has been. I spend some time each Friday (or weekend, more likely) taking a peek at this amazing game-in-progress, while you guys give us soothing commentary. Maybe I’m overthinking things, but it’s just nice to have that sort of feel to the whole “waiting for World 3″ process.
Great!!!
I really can’t wait to play the world 3…
