Feedback on FPA for consoles has still been overwhelming, and right now the only negative comments we've been getting are about the uncertainty of World 3, and the differences between the two games. I've been shying away from addressing the two in anything but comments here and there, but I think it'll be best to just take the issue head on and post a FAQs regarding the two games.

So, which particular questions do you guys think should be addressed regarding the two games?

1.Are there any bonus levels being added to the console version that are not apart of any worlds? (Such as the light squiggle)

2. Is Cutie Pants a part of World 3 (And thus will be included in the Flash version) or some sort of added bonus to the console version.

One thing I wanted to ask is: as of right now, the console engine is a whole lot more debugged right? I mean, the world 3 engine right now is pretty glitchy.

1. Will you be re-releasing world 1 and 2 at some point with the new engine?

2. Can you give us any other clues as to what the other "secrety console only" bonus levels will be like? I mean, we know about the scoring, the time trials, and the snail golf, but are there any other secrets about that? or do we have to wait until release?

3. Will world 3 (the flash game) include all of the "normal" levels that are in the console version? Or will it be quite a bit shorter?

4. What kinds of changes were made to world 1 and 2 in the console version? Are there extra levels in them too?

You'll hate me for asking this, but will the World 3 Flash version still be free? I know Flash games aren't nearly as profitable as they would be if you charged, but I know this was a larger question in the beginning.

And now the more fun question, which is about your workflow (okay maybe this isn't directly related but I wanted to ask anyway). Is the console version being ported to the various consoles' native code by you, or by a different person/team of people? I figured EA didn't just give you an Export to XBLA/PSN add-on to Flash (although I suppose it's not impossible), but I was curious.

Just got back on the internet after losing my access for a week. Read more on Random Discussion.

WHEN GAME RELEASE?

XD

The serious question:
Are you planning on getting any bonus levels like in World 2 into the console version?

And, if you could hype us up by using one sentence to describe each game, what sentence would that be?

Hmm.

Will Nuclear Eagle be in the game?

Will Fancy pants man have a sword in world 3?

When do you get the sword in the Xbox game? I wanted to use it in the demo.

Can I get a job at EA?

(I know all of the questions I have asked, (especially the last one) are a bit stupid. But everyone else took all the good ones)

Oh how about this question:

Out of the 2 games, which feature/level/mechanic are you most excited by?

"Can I get a job at EA?" wth?

Brad:
Can I get a job at Valve? Even though your work is not related to those guys at all?

Is the 7 worlds of FPA still a goal to you?

Also, if FPA for console is a success, will you consider making a second game? And would that game follow the story of World 4 - 7?

This is a signature!

@Dax

I'm supposed to try to talk to people in businesses I'm interested in to figure out a good course of action to gain a position similar to theirs.

It's called networking or something, I emailed Brad about it once, to see if I could talk to one of his co-workers, but he didn't respond, I think it would take up too much of his time/be to awkward/just couldn't be bothered to do it.

I never really did expect him too.

Having contacts can be very important in modern-day business. Calling in favours can definitely save your ass in today's cut-throat world.

Now if Brad would only help out :/

Not an issue though. Turns out my old next door neighbor and childhood friend's mother's brother in law works for Pixar.

Gonna try to answer some of the more specific questions here, if y'all don't mind, heh.

I've actually thought that it would be cool to include some older Flash games as bonus content, but everything's being ported over for FPA, we're not just running Flash in the game.

Sword's unlocked pretty late in the game, but there's some challenges that you can use it in early on. I think that there's enough game mechanics to hold the game up without the pencil, but there's one game mode where you can use it right away

Come to GDC and I'll introduce ya to some EA guys and you can beg for a job, heh.

I've been having trouble keeping up with email, and you emailed me on Christmas day, haha. Of course, I know more about how to break into Flash game design, and I mostly work with EA2D. Think I found that email, though.

Yeah.... the only convention I can really go to is Anime Boston or Pax East. And Pax East gets really overcrowded. Oh and Anime Boston isn't my thing.

Anyways, got a preliminary FAQs up here:

Y'all had some really good questions too, though, I'm going to add them soon as I can. Been churning away on all of the late game animations, ALMOST done! Still a bit more to go, sheesh...

From your blog post I clicked FAQs in the top bar and it lead to another FAQ you made earlier. Got a little confused for a second there (may want to add a link on your blog post).

So here it is, February. I'm hoping we're close to release? Maybe?
