@Brad: You’re making me very curious… Where is this place, and what are you doing?
Perhaps (so yo won’t give anything away for free)
you could give us some clues as to what you are NOT doing, so that we can narrow down what you ARE doing.
@EveryoneElse: Not to start any rumors, but maybe (after all the bugging we’ve done) Brad’s finally meeting with some sort of apple app dev company to discuss making a iPad or iTouch version of FPA. just a thought…
@DaxterSpeed I thought there was only one code (up,up,down,down,left,right,left,right,a,b). What are these other ones you speak off.
About the report. The crab is genuinely awesome and the bat looks very nice. Like every other character in the game you have managed to convey a great deal of personality with a relatively small (I’m guessing) amount of frames. Looking forward to seeing more reports. 😀
That’s where you’re wrong (BTW, it’s BA not AB). When other consoles came out, there weren’t B’s and A’s to be used, so they used other buttons. I remember recently hearing about a Dreamcast game which extrememly unique konami-code hadn’t been discovered until recently.
So have fun ruining your keyboard typing the konami code in all its forms!
@hamcheese362: Ah, ack, sorry about that. That’s actually some bad editing on my part. My friend has a wedding right when I get back home, so that would be the reason I miss posting a video this Friday. Ginna was in the background reminding me that we had the wedding, and I was mad that she thought I forgot. I cut out the dialogue before that, but forgot about that part 🙁
So, that actually has nothing to do with any of the surprises, haha.
Nothing to di with the surprises? Yeah riiiiiiight… 🙄
And how is that a small amount of frames? I’d say it like this instead: “Like every other character in the game you have managed to convey a great amount of frames with a relatively short (I’m guessing) animation.”
Oh, and great! Finally a report again. 🙂 If you ask me, it was worth the wait. I mean, most game developers share much less info on the game before it’s out…
Sorry Brad. Forgot you run 30 frames per second and you animate using every frame. Drawing each animation of every character is the most time consuming process you have mentioned in other reports. Once again I apologise (more like beg for forgiveness) for taking for granted your extreme efforts and awesome talent.
yay! brad gave us a “no spam” warning!
thnx brad
wait, how to ban someone? no wait i don’t wanna know!
and also, love new baddie, it would b cool if it had claws bigger than it’s head! lol
i also think a play room for fpm would be nice, a way to turn into cpg, a way to have spiders come out.
and a level editer those are fun
sorry not trying to duble post, but it wouldn’t let me edit,
@j_m. i am not with davis, but if you just pop up and ban him, will he learn? i’m with you, he should do it, but if we just ban him, it’s not as good as telling him why you shouldn’t anyway, i think he just wanted some randomness. and it’s funny, but it’s spam, so don’t, ok? (spam, taking up space by saying useless things)
I’m a girl.
plus, i love pancakes.
@brad the bat looks great, and you should be able to headbutt the crab but the crabs stun looks weird its sort of doing a handstand.
@j_m: its davismouse not davidmouse.
Excellent report, as usual. Might have expected more after all the wait, but I’m not complaining. The bat is very cool, though I worry that the game is becoming too saturated with different varieties of enemies. I just hope there is enough gameplay time to make up for the abundance of new characters. I really enjoy the crab damage animation, and I agree that it would make more sense for him to damage you when his claws are flailing. Would add another layer of gameplay to the character. The new hurt animation is way more fluid than the original, if I do say so my self. I like. All-in-all, very nice. And were you really talking about a wedding there at the end, or was it the possibility of water baddies? Hmmm… (rumor-spreading, rumor-spreading)
Oh, and about CPG, I was thinking it might make more sense for her to just be playable in a couple of bonus levels, rather than as an alt. character or whatever. Just a thought.
And lastly, in the new header, do you realize if you push FPM all the way up against the wall, he magically transforms into and orange-clad CPG? Glitch!
@Brad: DANG IT. evry time i think ifind sumthing you’re like, *slap* and i’m all like *falls to the floor*. well thanks for explainig. Btw, how long does it take you to make one enemy, and by how long i mean like how many frames? on average?
Okay, I had my IRL friend *name* explain this whole situation for me, but I must ask you, Brad (*name* didn’t know the answer), what is this Facebook you’re talking about?
Coooolll
I’m sorry for spamming your site brad 🙁
Yes.
YYYEEESSS!!! more reports!!!
also what is considered spamming?
Interesting, like the new crab animations.
But I’m more interested in this surprise you have… I have a few ideas, but you could be doing anything.
Oh and it’s not as bad as the spamfest just before World 2 was released. Remember that?
Hard to believe that was so long ago…
Ooooo mysterious ending. 😮
“I think I forgot about the w—-“
“Hmm, were am I?
I don’t know!”
… This seems very… VERY suspicious.
(Also, Brad’s starting a company (in any case, he is, just very slowly), or just traveling ’round nowhere.)
Is the pencil available in the header?
Yes it is. All you have to do is perform all konami codes in the order they appeared in their respective games.
Piece of cake!

@Brad. It’s so beautiful *wipes tear off face*. oh and, is the “wedding” part of the suprise? IDENTIFY THE PERSON WHO COUGHED BEHIND YOU.

I had to post that link…
THANK YOU!
*hugs the heck outta brad*
Sorry for spamming your site Brad, but please please please tell me how come my header is still cutie pants
yeah! Report!
And I think that no headbutting crab.
Oh, and PLEASE just post a room with FPM so we can mess around in it! PLZ!

NEW REPORT!!!! :O
…Now let’s watch it!
@jesus_minime: But rumors are so much fun 🙁

:O
I don’t normally post much on the blog, but anyway…
If fancy pants doesn’t show up in the header, clear your cache and refresh yo’ browser.
Nice report, but WHATZ ON EARF IS BRAD BORNE DOINZ? :O
A bug report for the header… When you walljumpbackflip sometimes he does a half of one and lands on his head then immediately appears right side up.
Sorry Brad. Forgot you run 30 frames per second and you animate using every frame. Drawing each animation of every character is the most time consuming process you have mentioned in other reports. Once again I apologise (more like beg for forgiveness) for taking for granted your extreme efforts and awesome talent.
So did our answers about the ages of your players influence anything that you’ve updated? To be honest, I hope not 😛
when you press shift, the video also slows down (or something).
@davidmouse: Would you like to banned? Because we can have that arranged if you keep making completely pointless comments such as the one above.
yay! brad gave us a “no spam” warning!
thnx brad
wait, how to ban someone? no wait i don’t wanna know!
and also, love new baddie, it would b cool if it had claws bigger than it’s head! lol
i also think a play room for fpm would be nice, a way to turn into cpg, a way to have spiders come out.

No HD?
The new bat is awesome. and I absolutely love how fancy pants man feels now. something as simple as changing direction feels awesome, kudos to you
I’m a girl.
plus, i love pancakes.
@brad the bat looks great, and you should be able to headbutt the crab but the crabs stun looks weird its sort of doing a handstand.
@j_m: its davismouse not davidmouse.
@silly rabbit: shift isn’t a glitch its supposed to be slow motion
brad you should keep the slow motion in world 3 it would be cool to slowmotion backflips and pencil hits

@miss little girl: i like the beehive level too. i think its called tommylm?
@VT: I’m going to make a list of the amount of people that have reported that very bug.
@Adomenatoon https://www.bornegames.com/2010/09/surprises/comment-page-10/#comment-11759 Look at this and follow the instructions for your browser. Then reload this page. FPM should be in the header.
@Brad: DANG IT. evry time i think ifind sumthing you’re like, *slap* and i’m all like *falls to the floor*. well thanks for explainig. Btw, how long does it take you to make one enemy, and by how long i mean like how many frames? on average?
in the header if u run into a wall and keep holding towards it u will turn into sassy pants with an orange dress!
how do u do slow motion. nevr mind found it out
stoner is right, if you continue to press either direction in the header, it shows cutie pants with her hair blowing in the wind.
^^^^^Haha I’m pretty sure everyone has mentioned this as if they were the first person to discover it
lol, how slow are your fans brad?
Wait, progress reports?
WHY DIDN’T ANYONE TELL ME‽
Are you really making a world 3?!?! 😮
Seany Pablo: Yes, and Brad has been doing it for ages.=)
@FPM, is awesome [first comment about the glitch], Oh god….
WORLD 1?! I thought we skipped that!
Kewl vid, but who’s that guy wit teh orange pantzz?!?
@ Waffe: Brad NOTICED that CPG glitch …
Okay, I had my IRL friend *name* explain this whole situation for me, but I must ask you, Brad (*name* didn’t know the answer), what is this Facebook you’re talking about?
