So here’s a glance at my take on 2d platformer swimming, usually the bane of most gamers’ existences. I’ve also been experimenting with extra background layers for a much cooler parallax effect.
You can click on the video to watch it much larger at YouTube.com.
WOW. I… i dont even know. Brad, you are A GOLDEN GOD. That is all.
Plus, the underwater pushing off walls thing is amazing, and i love the backcrawl ;D Great work.
@WJUK – Just a bunch of numbers, haha.
@PinkSombrero – Thanks, still need to clean up the arm motions, though.
I was on youtube and saw it there first! AWESOME!!!!!! I like this animation style beter than the other games.
I’m sorry if it’s demanding, but will we be seeing cutie pants swiming?
Ouch greatestguy. The video shows fancy swiming. It looks very smooth. Fancy is able to push off of walls and skip across the water aswell.
@greatestguy: Could you use a site like keepvid.com to view the mp4 of the video?
How is it blocked? Couldn’t you proxy or something?
If you really want to see it, I could download the video and mail it to you or something.
ok I will try that site next time brad
wjuk: my parents have this thing called K9 or something that can block certain categorys and it blocks “open image/video searches” as one of them
I am at my cousins and here it isn’t blocked so I saw it and dude, it’s totally amazing.
and I noticed the backround layers before i read the thing on top. Yea it looks much better that way, I think.
Nice new World 3 page, although you’ve got the same video there twice. The first one is meant to link to the CPG video I think.
This is plain stunning. I’ve never seen this good water levels in my life; this really is revolutionary. It’s not slow-paced and boring as most Mario water levels were, the animation is incredible, and the control is perfect. I can’t wait to play this.
@greatestguy: try vixy.net or mediaconverter.org
They should be able to download the .flv and turn it into the format of your choice.
Dang. At school youtube is blocked. I tried keepvid before but it does not work either. ๐
@Brad: Looks like you accidentally used the same video twice on the World 3 page. I think the first one has to be this one:
Woops, looks like WJUK fastposted me on that. Sorry.
Ok wow. That is awesome! Nice work brad!
Out of curiosity: Are there any plans for dynamic water levels? Like traversing a cave which then gets filled with water etc.
No one noticed that the backflip is brand new? ๐
Now you say so, his arms used to grab his feet halfway the jump!
Nice job , it looks much more acrobatic this way.
Hey, I dunno if you heard, but next year, when Flash CS5 comes out, there’ll be an option to port your flash games right to iPhone or iPod Touch, all you need to do is do a little extra programming, and some new controls. Now, I remember in an interview, you said you thought Fancy Pants on iPhone would be fun. I can haz Fancy Pants 3 on iPhone? :3

I saw the new back flip!
Oh and BTW… Wasn’t the watter running/swimming my idea?
https://www.bornegames.com/2009/06/a-call-to-arms/comment-page-1
Glad to see it made it into the game. I knew you could pull it off and make swimming fancy!
Oh and…. I can be in credits….PLZ?
Oooooooh… I know this is a weird thing to notice, but I LOVE the way his hair flops down when you land. Nice addition.
And of course, the swimming is just plain awesome. The backgrounds do a good job of that 3D with 2D thing. Nicely done.
@Frozoth: You mean parallax scrolling? That the background layers move at different speeds?
@Nyubis: Exactly. I wasn’t completely sure what parallax meant, but that’s it. I need to keep up on my super-cool flash game lingo.
Brad, you’re a f- legend in your own time.
No demos for you!! All for me!! Mwahahahaha ๐
@FO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWaLxFIVX1s
Well said, WJUK. Or rather, Hayden Christensen.
when is it coming out. i’ve e-mailed you but u never replied.thanks. bye
@WJUK Win
@WJUK: Epic
@FO: were the demos… suited for publication? ๐
WHATTTT!?!?!!? FAIRLY GET DEMOS?!!?!? ok…..
haven’t comented in a while been researching new mickey mouse game. It looks awesome. It’s called epic mickey. And yes, I can just picture an epic swiming w/ pirate ship level.
@mon1nis: Not even Brad knows the answer to this.
This looks like some awesome moves that he can do with water. I’m hoping its as easy to control as the rest of the game?
Also FO, how much of the game is done/have you played through? Only you can answer this using your insider spy knowledge.
Fairly is not the only person that has tested it…
But I shall say no more!
Oh yeah FO? I think I have a card I can play that’ll trump your ‘high testing status’.
I’ve got Brad on AIM ๐
I’ve never found it to work very well, especially when the victim’s brain is clean to begin with.
And I could IM-spam Brad too if I wanted to, but I don’t use AIM anymmore.
Can we talk about fancy now?
Batz 101 wants to know how to post fan art. He left his coment on quick test.
looking back on world 2 what i would really like to see in world three, is all of the inovative secret levels and art from different flash animators. that was one of my favorite consepts from world 2.
Can we have a demo game or sumthin for world 3 … plz plz plz ๐
He’ll probably release a demo and/or beta before the end of the year (maybe), just be patient.
hey guys… how can you upload fan videos? i made a fancy flash short… and i mean SHORT… its like 200 frames long… lol
I’ve seen swimming games where the health bar also acts as a air bar maybe you could add that.
When has Brad shown CPG hit a wall?
ahh, heh the banner, forgot about that ๐
Thought I had missed something.
No he hasn’t:

Me loves fancy pants man
@wjuk i love how in the file you found she turns into FPM every time you backflip… and p.s. how the heck did you find it. did brad send it to you for testing?
Brad didn’t send it to me, I found it. ๐
And she turns into FPM because a lot of the animations aren’t done yet – as you’d expect.
To upload fan art, upload it to any image hosting site (imageshack, photobucket, flickr etc.) than you can post the link here or email it to Brad if you want it on the fan art page.
Where in the world did you find that link? It’s awesome. I wonder if fancy christmas 08 is still up…
How I found it is a secret I’ll take to the grave, although Nyubis knows it too.
And yes, there was much H4X involved because I am a 1337 H4XX0R.
