Progress should be fairly fast because i'm just going to reskin my Lil' pirate engine and tweak it a bit so you can climb ladders and punch. Maybe even run too but ive still not thought of a decent way to allow the player to do both with a two button setup. (three buttons isn't so great when you're on a keyboard)
You can insert YouTube videos into devlogs in the exact same way as you do on the forums. Simply use the < Youtube YoutubeID >, where YoutubeID is replaced with the video's ID. Of course, without spaces.
It's nice but perhaps when he's stood still the clouds could move or the flowers could sway in the wind. It's just so still when he's not doing anything.

It's not possible in that particular level because the clouds and flowers are part of the same picture (to use up less active picture objects).
But it's certainly possible to have moving clouds in other areas. I'm not so sure about animated backgrounds though. I'll look into it.
Fake animated backgrounds are possible with the background system object. I think I put an example up at the Clickteam forums and was part of my Ultimate Parallaxing Tutorial a few years ago.
