Last week we already brought you an update on Fancy Pants Adventure: World 3 and now developer Borne Games has released another teaser of their upcoming title. This time its accompanied by a Q&A regarding the sharpened pencil that Fancy Pants uses as a weapon to slay his enemies.

We certainly think the game looks better than ever before and can’t wait to try it out. Unfortunately, there is no known release date, but expect it somewhere this year if that’s any help at all. Scroll down for the teaser video showing the sheathing of the weapon and more animations!

Q: How does sheathing the pencil work?
A: He does it automatically during normal levels, after running a bit, or jumping. No separate button, but for now, ducking forces a sheath.

Q: Does this mean that old levels are getting redone for World 3
A: Maybe, maybe not, I just still like the first level of the first world of FPA, haha. Soooo much better with the newer physics, too.

Q: Should FPA carrying the pencil on his back instead of it disappearing?
A: Probably, I’ll have to do some tests, as long as it’s not distracting.

Q: Is there a separate key for using the pencil?
A: Yeah, it’s A or D right now. All the moves are done by either tapping or holding one of them. So it’s only one button, just set to either of those right now.

Q: Can the ricochet scratches hit other enemies?
A: They better, would be a wasted opportunity if they didn’t Might have to fiddle with the trajectory to make that easier.

Q: Parts that take specific advantage of the pencil?
A: Absolutely.

Q: Bring back those hideous and terribly drawn flying dog/dragon things from World 1!
A: I really should, huh? Man, those were embarrassing…

Q: Will there be a running attack?
A: There certainly should be, there isn’t one animated now, though.

Q: XBox Live and/or PSN?
A: I’d sure love to. But yeah, that’s a full port there. Regardless, I want World 3 to be as good if not better than most games that come out on either of those services =)
