FPA: World 3 Report 31 - Behind the Curtain

[mariomario8080]

i think u need to work on how to fix glitches beacause i found many in the console version , world 1,and world 2

[DrNeroCF]

@mariomario8080: A few will always get through, but if you find anything big, shoot me an email, I'll try to pass them on to OtT.

[MrRexTV1]

YOu do realise there was pinball elements in some sonic games right?

[Nitromethanification]

F.P.A rocks.... but just one thing you know you released the game for xbox and all that but can you do the same for P.C/Mac...if this game releases for P.C/Mac i am definitely willing to buy it. i am currently learning flash (just started a month ago :P) i am aiming to be as awesome as you but looks like thats gonna take a long time!!you rock brad!!

[wCRONUSw]

I'm pretty sure you've heard of WiiU. If it and Fancy Pants adventures are a success when WiiU Luanches will you put FP on it?

[DLOULTRA7]

thanks Dr.Nero

[DLOULTRA7]

thanks dr.nero

[metalsonic71]

is sonic gonna be added yet? :O

[13mspeacemaker]

PLZ PUT THE KING OF HILL ON SNEAK PEAK AND WE CAN PLAY FANCY VS BRADE

[13mspeacemaker]

PLZ PUT THE KING OF HILL ON SNEAK PEAK

[13mspeacemaker]

ok now i love the behind the curtain but you need to add more but i like the forest you background isnt so important but its your choice my disishion is GOOD JOB!

[13mspeacemaker]

YEA THATS TRUE

[TheGoronClub]

i like the forest background although the Background in the far back the white light in between the tree's looks a little out of place, but other than that great job Brad awesome as usual :)

[strikkebil]

i love this game! anyone wanna play on PS3, pm me.

[118BBS]

@DrNeroCF That is very true. Are you planning on keeping the pants/sword/hat changer. I though that was a nice touch to the gameplay on console. P.S. I Flippin' LOVE Ninsplosion!!!

[qaisjp]

I like the Pinball, but in my opinion, it's kind of dry, if you know what I mean.

[DrNeroCF]

@MzPrettyGurlSwagg98:  It is :P Well, not yet...

[KingWorstie]

@DrNeroCF Is it for pc only or? I kinda don't know what it's gonna be? A remake of the console one? A sequal? Or just on like those random stories from world 1 or 2??!!

[TheInspirationExpert]

Love the grass in the forest, maybe the trees could be a little darker. Just my opinion. Also, shouldn't Fancy Pants be sorta dripping wet when he gets out of the water?

[DrNeroCF]

@TheInspirationExpert: Haha, they should. Depends on if I have time for some more silly little things like that. Plenty of boring work to do, but that would be far more fun...

[TheInspirationExpert]

@DrNeroCF Certainly - I'm flattered you responded. Thanks for considering the idea.

[DrNeroCF]

@AntiChipmunk96: I definitely need to add some protections to the camera, but I think I've made it a bit better recently, not sure how recently, though...

[DLOULTRA7]

have u ever thought of the pencil hitting sound because if u did i suggest change ing it to a paper ripping

[DrNeroCF]

@DLOULTRA7: It's different in the console game, I'm still open to a better sound, I have something different in mind, more crrrzzzz, which I guess would sound more like a paper ripping...

[metalsonic71]

is there gonna be dlc for the fancy pants adventures?

or are they gonna forget about it and we'll just have world 3.

[DrNeroCF]

@metalsonic71: Heh, well, they two are very similar. Mostly, if you want to play World 3 with friends, you play the console game, if you want more of the 'director's cut', you can play World 3 online.

I do want to patch a few things, but Microsoft doesn't exactly make that an easy process...

[metalsonic71]

@DrNeroCF im alright with that.

i really like the console game...just noone plays as much as i did.

i believe that yours will be enough to get million's to play for months like myself. :3

*especially can't wait if i 'can' however use mod's and have a playable sonic (skin)character.*

[DrNeroCF]

@metalsonic71: Haha, that would be pretty crazy hard to pull off.

Though if anyone knows anyone at SEGA, tell them to shoot me an email, we'll throw Sonic in as an unlockable, heh.

[Emmi300]

@DrNeroCF Are you a sonic fan? I am :)

[wjsoccervar]

Add a spider bat :)

[metalsonic71]

@wjsoccervar NO.I.WANT.SONIC.

[programerbob]

Are you ever going to make a tutorial?

[DrNeroCF]

@programerbob: I will! But I'm sure most everyone wants me to finish World 3 first, heh.

[orlanswf]

I can't buy this :( No money and no PS3/XBox360

[DrNeroCF]

@orlanswf: Well, THIS is a free online Flash game, sounds like it's right in your price range ;)

[orlanswf]

@DrNeroCF I mean the full version -.-"

[Druiday]

i feel that fancy pants man would benefit to have a different running animation when he stays a while in full speed. 

[DrNeroCF]

@Druiday: I was doing some test animations with that, but I couldn't figure anything out that I actually liked. I think I settled with just using 3 different run animations so it didn't get repetitive.

[Druiday]

@DrNeroCF may i give you a suggestion? are you familiar with the running animation of Altair in the Assassins creed series? when you run at maximum speed on a rope that some buildings have, he turns is arms back, maybe that pose would suit fancy pants man.

thanks for the reply, i wasn't expecting being responded at all, since you're busy as hell lately.

[DrNeroCF]

@Druiday: That was always the 'silly anime run' to me, like Fox in Smash Bros, heh. Might have to check out that animation, I downloaded ACII, but the mac port is offensively bad...

[liphttam]

Scratch the cat :D

[Drancks]

I love how you get distracted playing the game and stop talking lol.

[DrNeroCF]

@Drancks: Haha, yeah, sometimes I... SHINY!

[liqo12]

is the FPA engine in this vid different from those vids you posted before you worked with EA? I mean I don't think those super thin walls would work if you still did the 'draw stuff and do hittests on them' method. Perhaps another layers of code over it or vector based engine now perhaps?

[DrNeroCF]

@liqo12: This is the same one, just, well, refined and fixed quite a bit. There were a few things that OtT could do easily that I felt like I should step up my game on. The thin walls were actually just 2 sided vertical moving platformers, that weren't moving. I use the blob collision, except for those, so anything precise or involving code that I want to do, I've updated the platforms to be able to handle.

[AnimeKiller1000]

wait it's not done! then why is it out on 360 already?

[DrNeroCF]

@AnimeKiller1000: Like I said in the video, FPA for console and World 3 are pretty much separate games, even though there's some assets shared between them. I designed most of the levels as outlines in Flash, Over the Top artists finished them in photoshop, now I need to finish them in Flash.

[water2hp]

i wish it would come on wiiware id love to support your work

[DrNeroCF]

@water2hp: It would, but Nintendo's file size limit is a deal breaker :(

[TheIcedude545]

you should add co-up like the guy did on the flash game: unchivement unlocked 2

[DrNeroCF]

@TheIcedude545: Would be an awful lot of work to imitate something that the console game can do far far better. If I do add multiplayer, it would have to be something pretty different.

[Puppet743]

Are you going to add the forest to the sneek peek at a 10,000 mark? It would be cool to see what a real level looks like. Also, it would be nice if you added the people who subscribe to your youtube account to those who like you an facebook and follow you on twitter.

[DrNeroCF]

@Puppet743: Depends, I had something else in mind, but the World 2 demo had two main levels in it, might add one more level to the Sneak Peek, the Forest is the second most complete right now, but wouldn't it be more interesting to add one that's just an outline right now, and update it as I work on it?

[iamronidog]

lol, that ones guy looked like he had a lightsaber.

[ScribblePage]

you posted this on my birthday man! THANK YOU! :D

[Chrisspy1195]

Looking back at world 1, this is so much more advanced! I always liked FPA, and it got me started on flash. Thanks for making FPA, you've made probably thousands of people happy!

[TheGamedawg]

4:59 Scratch Cat =D

[cyruto]

finnally

[SoraKH296]

@Sword7Movies .... The story mode on console IS World 3...

[Sword7Movies]

Will there be a DLC to play world 3 on consoles? I'll pay money for that to happen!

[DrNeroCF]

@Sword7Movies: World 3 is mostly FPA on consoles, plus a bunch more stuff. There's definitely some things that I'd like to add to the console game, but that's a pretty difficult process.

[9999denisa]

Where can i play it? Please it looks amazing can't wait til its done

[Mrstobastoba]

The Fancy pinball is fun but it needs a more fancy feeling to it

[Flowtail]

@Mrstobastoba Like BLINKY LIGHTS and FUNNY NOISES

and maybe unicorns.

[DrNeroCF]

@Mrstobastoba: Any suggestions?

[Mrstobastoba]

@DrNeroCF maybe instead of the shell it could be fancy pants as the pinball thus being easier to control



[siim686]

I would SO buy this game for my ps3 and play with my 2 other friends but i can't because PSN doesn't support my country and only allows me to download free stuff :(

[AJC0MICS]

I like it with many little details! That looks better and more like the console version... Btw it's AJ32 from Borne Games Forum! :)

[mschiffi]

Could you maybe add the forest level to the sneak peek? I want to play that level SO badly...

PS here is Pencilmaster from the forum!

[DrNeroCF]

@mschiffi: Well, the World 2 demo had two main levels in it, so maybe we can have a vote on a level to add sometime?

[mschiffi]

@DrNeroCF Yes! That would be cool! Lets vote for it in the comments of your website...

[LuccasBode]

looking great

[guygie1994]

add a skateboard! i think its really fancy pants like and you almost already have the engine for it :)

[DrNeroCF]

@guygie1994: Heh, true, but there would have a whole new set of things to go wrong, would take an extra round of debugging. Maybe a smaller bonus release mini game type thing in the future?

[guygie1994]

@DrNeroCF yea sure, but you can do a little test if you just draw a simple board and remove the friction right? (and maybe rewright some tiny things) just to see what its like, i would like to play that!

[CooliSushi]

this is awesome, World 3 is looking great! good luck with the game Brad. :)

[118BBS]

I like swimming in the sneak peek more than the console version. It seems to run smoother.

[DrNeroCF]

@118BBS: Might be because the framerate of the animation and gameplay is the same in Flash. Analog swimming feels so much better, though.

[Onyxsbayne]

Holy cow, u put in Scratch cat, that's awesome :D

[DrNeroCF]

@Onyxsbayne: I just put in whatever people emailed me, so no one sue me please!

[frogirl1993]

looks awesome

[thevectorfilms]

So i've seen in some other videos what looks like timeline design.

Was this just sprite animation, or do you code on the timeline?

I can't imagine you use AS2, but how do you do it? can't wait to see it when it's done. :D

[DrNeroCF]

@thevectorfilms: Heh, yeah, my coding habits seem tome about as bad as they come. For the character's code, everything is state based with onEnterFrames, and the animations are movie clips on that frame. I have a silly little sample file somewhere on my forum that shows what I do.

[Daosdh1]

ehhh..i liked it with less detail..it's a tad more, fancy...

[DrNeroCF]

@Daosdh1: The more I look at them side by side, I think I like the trees textured, but the grass with less detail. Before, all the lines were much smaller and more scratchy. I'm just going to have to play around with it. Stay tuned, I'll post some more screens once I go over everything again.

[Daosdh1]

@DrNeroCF well, whatever you think is best! :D

[Knilo999]

The SFX are annoyingly loud...

[DrNeroCF]

@Knilo999: Sorry :(

[sbickmore95]

@DrNeroCF

Everyone loves your voice so that automatically means you should make consistent videos... :P

[Rockyslammer]

OMG WOOOOWWW!
