Going to be playing some multiplayer FPA on PlayStation 3 with Giniro Shourai on his Twitch channel in a few minutes. Come chat and bug me about World 4!

Edit: Offline! Anyone able to catch the stream?
Comments Streaming Some Multiplayer FPA!Fancy Snowboarding is now up on Kongregate, along with a new update on BorneGames.com.
Update: Also up on Newgrounds.com, gimme your votes!
It would really help out if everyone could hop over to Kong and give it an honest rating.
Ah, speaking of which, what would REALLY help us out is if anyone who’s purchased the App Store version could rate it fairly.
As for the update, each level now has 3 different stars that are earned by setting low times. Let me know how the difficulty is on those, getting the stars on a level should be pretty brutal 😎
Also, if you’ve purchased a Fancy Key or better from the World 1 Remix on Kong, you’ll be able to play the full game over there, as promised. I’ll be adding the same functionality to my site, hopefully tomorrow.
And if you’re feeling super kind and generous and generally awesome, please consider leaving an honest review on the App Store, it would really help raise visibility on the game over there.
Better go play while it’s still winter! :woot:
Comments Fancy Snowboarding Update
Try the game out, and if you enjoy it, please check it Fancy Snowboarding in the App Store, playing with touch controls is a whole new experience!
Check it out on the App Store here:
Or try the demo online here, but I think you’ll want to play this one on a touch screen!
Comments Fancy Snowboarding Is Live!Merry Christmas!
The plan was to launch the Flash version of Fancy Snowboarding once the iOS version hit the App Store, but the game got rejected because of a single wrong setting (Merry Christmas to me? 🙁 )
But since it’s Christmas, here’s a demo in the meantime, just promise me you’ll check back after New Years!
Oh, and of course…
More Muppets? More Muppets!
Comments Fancy Snowboarding Demo!Quick Update:
So the game should have been out already on the app store, but got rejected on its first review because of a setting Scaleform left on by default that has no reason to be on (UUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH).
So yeah, guess we’ll see how things go.

Where the heck have I been lately??
Making you guys a game for Christmas, obviously!
The World 1 Remix is now live on Newgrounds.com, and available for public release.
Check it out, we could use your votes!
If you want the Remix on your own site / portal, grab a copy here.
Comments World 1 Remix public releaseCombat is going to have a much larger role in World 4, so it has to be really, really good!
What do you think of the new up swing attack?
Now you can do a golf swing wherever you want, not just at the beginning of World 2!
But I’m sure you want to try it out for yourself, so stay tuned!
Comments World 4 CombatThere’s just a handful of hours left on the Nefarious Kickstarter, we’ve seeing a good surge of support near the end, but we still could use your help. Remember, I’m doing character animations and game design, so if you’d like to see more of my work in a console level game, please consider supporting!
Remember, you’re only charged if the goal is met, so there’s no risk on your end.
Thanks again, everyone!
Comments Nefarious Final Notice!Hey guys, going to be meeting up with the rest of the Nefarious team in about an hour, we’re going to be playing some old games and talking about Nefarious on Twitch.tv. Check back and I’ll post a link to the stream once it’s set up!
We have no idea what we’re doing but come and say hi!
Comments Retro Live Streamin’
Meet Crow, professional villain and star of the upcoming PC, Mac, and Wii U game: Nefarious.
You play as the bad guy and kidnap princesses, which is just as awesome as it sounds, and I’ll be doing animation and game design. I’ve been wanting to work with a team on a new game and focus on animation and design, instead of having to program the whole thing myself, but we need your help!
Check out the Kickstarter page, we have a great group of guys working on the game, we just need your support!
A preview of my animation combined Josh Hano’s artwork:
Thanks everyone, I’ll keep you updated!
Comments Introducing Nefarious!Now available to all Keyholders, Bonus 1 has been added to Level 5 in progress in the World 1 Remix! Just go through the Extras door in from the Remix, if you’ve been through the level recently, you’ll know where the bonus door is.
I thought it was a good opportunity to use some of the new engine features built for World 4, to keep things interesting.
Level 5 is under construction and available to everyone who’s bought a Key, on Borne Games or Kongregate, and will be available to everyone once it’s finished.
Comments New Bonus Room for Remix Level 5!
Oh don’t tell me you didn’t see this one coming! Brave the swarm of Angry Dragon Birds and reach the end of Level 3!
Also, don’t forget to check out the Challenges tab on the navigation banner up there. What could be next??
Comments Borne Games Challenge #3: Angry Dragon Birdemic!If you miss the MicroTrials from World 3, this one’s for you! Collect every Squiggle and reach the end of the level as fast as you can!
Didn’t think this one would end up as hard as it did, especially if you try to do a perfect run. I need some sleep, but I’ll be back to get a better score tomorrow!
Click to start!
Protip: You can access the list of all the challenges by hovering your cursor over the ‘Challenges’ tab at the top menu bar there.
Comments Borne Games Challenge #2: Squiggles Get!As a bonus for all key holders, I’ve added some commentary to the level in progress (what will be level 5). I’ll be updating it as I draw it out and add brand new bonus levels to it, but it will be accessible to everyone once it’s finished.
I never know how much regular players want to hear about the ‘making of’ part of my games, but you could see some more features like this in the future depending on the level of interest.
Just go to the Remix, through the Extra door, and into ‘New Level in Progress’ door!
Comments Level Creation CommentaryThis one goes out to anyone who’s ever thought that the Fancy Pants Adventures games were too easy! For the first challenge, we’re playing a good ol’ game of ‘Floor Is Lava’ in Level 1 of the World 1 Remix.
More challenges coming soon, so check back!
Comments Introducing: Borne Games ChallengesWorld 1 Remix now has badges on Kongregate.com!
And check back tomorrow for something new on BorneGames!
Comments Badges On Kongregate!
Following his de-retirement for the World 1 Remix, Angry BirdDragonThing ego inflated to such heights that he now stars in his own spinoff, Flappy Angry BirdDragonThing (which has been deemed the World’s Most Original Game™ by highly prestigious ADADC).
So go, Angry BirdDragonThing, and Flap! Flap like only pretty much every other bird ever has Flapped before!
And if you set enough high scores, he just might grant us the favor of his presence in World 4!
On a more serious note (boring!), I’ve been putting some time into the site, as you can probably tell. Seemed like a good time to get some older (and flappier) games on the site. I’ve gotten quite a few questions about where to play Mirror’s Edge 2D nowadays, so now the full version is playable here to keep things simple. All the games are being moved over to a way faster server, so loading them up should be WAY quicker before. Remix I believe is the only one left, but that’ll be moved soon.
If you guys have any suggestions on what you’d like to see on the site (more older games, more high scores, more smaller games like FABDT, more videos), let me know.
Comments Angry BirdDragonThing Strikes BackThe World 1 Remix is fully live on BorneGames.com!
Click here or the huge image up there to play it on BorneGames!
You can able to purchase keys in game using PayPal (even without a PayPal account), and settings and collectibles will carry over between the Remix and the World 4 alpha, so you can roll around in that crazy new hat (you know the one!).
I’ve also added new digital rewards to all keys silver and up bought on Kong or BorneGames, check them out in game, or go here for even more details.
As always, thank you profusely to everyone out there, hope you enjoy the Remix!
Comments Remix on Borne Games, Keys!Hey guys, I’m almost done with a pretty big update to the Remix, and am about to work on a new video (I know what is this Christmas? :D), but first I wanted to make a post on the games that the super awesome ridiculously talented guys who helped bring Fancy Pants Adventures to consoles are working on:
on Steam (Windows)
on Steam (Windows, OS X, and Linux), and iOS and Android
Working with these guys was definitely a highlight of my career, so please give their latest projects a look!
