Finally, after the long, exhausting, almost three year long journey that was The Fancy Pants Adventures: World 3, I had to disappear from the internet a bit to regain some of my lost sanity. But I’m back, and more ready than ever to, I dunno, attempt to do awesome things at the Internet?
So what’s been going on these past few months? Lots, actually. First and foremost, I celebrated my first Fathers Day (:D) last Sunday, I’ve also been working on the Grateful Dead online game with Curious Sense. The first part of it is out now, and there’s some really awesome additions coming soon. Just make sure to register and create your own avatar, a lot of code went into making those little guys customizable! Disappear for awhile, come back with a launched game, not too bad, eh?
TommyLM and I have begun discussing Fraser’s Ride again, so expect to see some updates on that, finally! I can say, though, it looks WAY more awesome right now than it did the last time you saw it. I’ve also learned a bunch of code while working on W3 that should help make that development far easier.
I’ve also finally upgraded my audio / video equipment, so I’m itching to get back on YouTube and talk about teh gamez again. Anything you guys would like me to address, relating to W3 development, perhaps?
Been playing a lot of games recently, I’ll make a post later so I can go more in detail about the games I’m playing, since those usually have a pretty big influence on the games I’m working on.
And last but not least, I’ve got some cool ideas on how to get the Borne Games community more involved in some game making, so check out our forums for my latest hair-brained schemes.
Awesome, glad to hear from you again finally. Also, I was just thinking about Fraser’s Ride right before this went up
Brad!!! Make a review on LIMBO. It will be interesting to know your review on it. Please!!!
Hm, I definitely enjoyed Limbo, but I know that not everyone did. It’s one of those games where I’d be better at talking about what they did right, delve into how they did the things that I like, what I’d want to attempt to do better, that sort of thing. Then again, that’s probably how I’d review most anything…
To me, a review shouldn’t be much more than, this is what I liked, this is what I didn’t like. The idea of a non-biased review just baffles me.
Hey! What are you trying to say?!?
I enjoy your ‘this is why this game is stupid!’ reviewing style
I’m very bitter . . .
Cool, I’m pretty excited for Fraser’s Ride. I had a good time playing W3, W2 is still my favorite though. I don’t know why but W2 is very nostalgic for me, I guess because I played it a lot when I was a kid, about ten or so.
You should do a flash animation tutorial on your YouTube account, also That would be cool if you set up a Minecraft server.
Heh, happens, I guess. World 3 was bigger and more expanded in pretty much every way, but it did lose a bit of focus. Got to be in the mood to do some exploring, I suppose. Would be interesting to see what would happen if I swung FPA back into the other direction, more like Super Meat Boy or League of Evil. World 2 was definitely much more focused, with the replayable parts very clearly in front of the player.
I’ll definitely start doing some tutorials, though there’s only so much I can say about animation, I’m still figuring it out myself as I go along. Adam Phillips has some absolutely brilliant stuff up there, if you’re looking for some help / inspiration.
I played Minecraft for about an hour, honestly, not sure if I’m really going to be getting into it again… Maybe one day…
Ah, yes it’s Tommylm’s level, the blue forest is insanely nostalgic for me.
Sweet I would love some tutorials. I need to learn how to make flash games, I have so many good ideas but seeing how long W3 took you, the games I have in mind will take so long… If I do even make them.
You have a Minecraft account?
I… um… maybe?
I would love to see your YouTube Videos again! After all, when was your last video?
I’d like to just see a quick overlook of what you have planned in a video.
He submitted his last video 7 months ago!
Oh man, Fraser’s Ride! It’s been a while since I heard that name.
My random comments:

What the…

So Fraser’s Ride will be continued? I’m so happy!
—
You should do some video games reviews!

Just an idea: The BGF needs its own emoticons, can you add some? And you shouldn’t use the Gravatar thing!
Emoticons, yeah, I should just be able to edit the image files and add entires to the plugin, should be really easy, kinda been wanting to do that ever since I added it. They should work with the forum and the main site, I believe…
Wait wait.. You have a child?!
Oh, and I really like the idea of getting the BGF community more involved.
And AJs last idea is brilliant.
Was you away from the intenet for a while because:
ยจ
Answer!
Took you guys long enough
What’s going on here?!
Hmmmmmm….
@Parttimeninja: You mean Adam Phillips Level!
Yeah, my bad.
Congratulations, Brad and Jenna!
Is it a FPM or a CPG?
FP
Cool! Congratulations!!. He must join the forums when he is old enough! (if you guys are okay with that..)
When does he get his first console?!
