Lumpy's One Smooth Criminal!

You may not know it, but Lumpy is a huge fan of MJ. Not only does he like Michael's music, but I suppose he can also relate with the struggles that another once-child star goes through.

His Agent is quite insistent that Lumpy has met Michael before. He further claims that Lumpy was also supposed to have had a cameo in Michael Jackson's This Is It movie. Unreliable sources say it was cancelled due to the other dancers complaining that Lumpy's dancing skills were upstaging them!

During the early production of EP3, Lumpy's Agent approached us, contract in hand, demanding all the Lumpy get to share the moves he had been practicing for the movie with everyone. 

At first we were reluctant. But after we saw the blue blob move ... we were sold. 

It also seems that Lumpy recently has a fondness for acting like he's a bit of a toughie. Lately he's also been donning MJ's Smooth Criminal hat. But that's probably just because This Is It just came out.

Rumor has it that if you do the right thing in EP3, Lumpy will do a special dance just for you! And just maybe you'll be able to get that hat too!

Monday's EP3 Update ... Who's Badder?

This is our first Monday EP3 update. It has been a few days since you're heard any deets on EP3. After our submission to Apple and our release of EP2, we've been spending most of our time planning it. Since we're a small company, it unfortunately means people wear many hats and things can, at times, take longer than expected. But fortunately we have Lumpy to remind us that his needs are priority.

We are going for a more modest update with EP3. This doesn't mean that we're going to water down the episode. We just want to try and get a version out around Halloween, since there are some Halloween themed items here.

Two of the bigger features we are putting into EP3 are Open Feint and more ways to make Lumpy happy. This will include having Lumpy's idle be happy too, when his meter is happy. We are also slowly updating Lumpy to have specific reactions to pokers.

Take this for example.

Lumpy likes MJ. And as a tribute to him, he wanted the first "happy" Poker to be augmented to be Who's Bad.

Here is a small video clip to show you the craziness we have in store. The first part shows how Lumpy currently reacts to Who's Bad. The last part shows what it may look like soon! And also remember that each pimped out Poker will have a special finality animation that you have to discover!


EP3 will have 3 pokers upgraded. In honor of Halloween, one will be Brain Food. We're still selecting the other one.

Thoughts on the newer Lumpy animations to Pokers to come?

So Who's Badder now? Lumpy!
