Hazmat Hermit

Now I should get myself a chicken alarm! LOL! 🙂 It would probably make a nice decoration to my room (NOT)! 🙂

 

Halloween is coming!

Yes Halloween is coming and pretty soon it will come too bad I wont be going I’m too old anyway here is the new post:

With Great Pumpkin Island now available for Poptropica Members (and coming for everybody on October 14), Halloween is on a lot of people’s minds. Well, why not visit the Poptropica Store to put a Halloween costume on your Poptropican, too? This one’s my favorite:

Since “Great Pumpkin” is already taken, we’ll call this one a very good pumpkin.

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Well to everybody that doesnt have a membership can now play it soon!

Latest Post! :D

Well here is the latest post:

A Great Pumpkin Island treat for Poptropica Members

Not only do Poptropica Members have Early Access to Great Pumpkin Island — they’ll also get an exclusive follower card if they log on during the Early Access period.

That’s right, Snoopy’s pal Woodstock can come along on your adventure! If you’re not a Member already, you can become a Memberand get the Woodstock follower card, as well as Early Access to Great Pumpkin Island.

I think we made Charlie Brown’s day a little brighter.

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Yup, thats right us members can already play! Well I hope everybody has fun playing this island!

 

From the cartographer collection

Here’s your first look at the Great Pumpkin Island map:

Good things do come in small packages, after all.

What’s that? There are lots of mini-games and adventures on Great Pumpkin Island that don’t appear on the map? Good grief!

The Beagle Has Landed

New post well here it is:

Just when you thought you’d seen it all, look who’s in the pumpkin patch this week!

Those pumpkins are getting pretty large by now, which must mean that Great Pumpkin Island is almost here. As Linus could tell you, the waiting is the hardest part.

Quick Berry Is Back!!

Yes, I am back after a long break I’m back and I would like to post the newest PCB post! So here it is:

Your Friday fix

Before we head into the weekend, we wanted to make sure you saw this:

the info page for Great Pumpkin Island is up, with some cool new screenshots you haven’t seen before!

Great Pumpkin Island is coming very soon. You’ll hear the release date first right here on the official Poptropica blog!

BLACK WIDOW

And there also seems like there is going to be another new island:

Generally speaking

Great Pumpkin Island is coming very soon, but every day isn’t Halloween at Poptropica HQ. We’re working on more new Islands for you to enjoy, too!

Need proof?

My, that’s one fine looking general store. It reminds me of the lovely seaside resort towns I used to ransack on Skullduggery Island. Those were the days. Nowadays it’s all fences and gated communities.

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

So now that I’m back from my break I’ll be posting more often and now that I have the time I’m going to announce that my assintant Jezzica Juarez will also be helping out here with other stuff.

Bye. C’Yall Later – Quick Berry

 

A Break.

I’m sorry everyone but I’ll be taking a break I’ve been very busy lately so there will probably not be very much posting around here unless my staff decides to post a post other than that I wont be here much. I’ll be back in a few weeks maybe! 😦

Bye for now, Quick Berry.

 

New Updates

Poptropicans, please welcome the wimpy kid himself to Poptropica!

Greg Heffley is waiting for you on the Main Street of your favorite Island with some exciting news. Visit any Poptropica Island for the scoop!

Wow, it was such a surprise, he said stay tuned to see the cover of the new book on thrusday.

This week we’re going to be sharing some neat tips and tricks to help you get a little more from Poptropica. We’ve hidden a lot of fun easter eggs in the game. You may have found some already!

Have you ever noticed how many of the background objects in Poptropica are interactive? Sometimes even more than you’d think. Take the crab that’s crawling around the first screen of Time Tangled Island.

He certainly looks mopey. But he’ll look even more mopey if you click on him.

See how he gets squished? Well, just see what happens if you keep clicking on him real fast!

Yikes! He explodes. Your Poptropican has to dodge the debris.

Don’t worry, though: he’ll come back together and be good as new in no time.

The same cannot be said for the roaches that infest Bucky’s hotel room on Reality TV Island.

Those little buggers move fast. If you can catch up with them, here’s what happens:

If you leave the room and come back inside, they’ll be ready to be squashed all over again.

Have you found any more clickable objects in Poptropica?

We know these tricks, creators.

Hub, Special Guest, And Twilight Vampires?

What is this nonsense of Hub, Special Guest, and Twilight Vampires? Well let me tell  you!

Hub News:

The Hub of the universe

We’ve done a lot of detail work on the Hub for Steamworks Island. Before we can call it done, we’ve got to give it one more pass to make sure it’s got character.

Ah… that’s the stuff. The Hub looks old, weathered, and worn. It looks like it was once a city on a hill. Now, it’s grungy and decayed. And dangerous.

There are lots more to see and do on Steamworks Island, and we’ll be showing you more soon. In the meantime, maybe we can all try to figure out what that blue thing is doing.

BINARY BARD

Special Guest News:

A special guest is coming to Poptropica!

Greetings, Poptropica fans!
Recently, the creators of Poptropica learned of an
exciting new development: Next week, a special
guest is coming to Poptropica!

He’s well-known to many of you
(especially those of you who like to laugh)
for his hilarious adventures, not to mention his loony
friends and family.
Let’s be sure to welcome him when he arrives.
Expect more information on Monday, Poptropicans.
You won’t want to miss this!

Twilight Vampires? :

Vampires Invade Poptropica

Are you a fan of vampires? We’ve got a whole new set of vampire looks just waiting to be customized. Check them out in the Poptropica store!

Finishing The Hub

Here are the two new post I call them Finishing The Hub:

Details, details…

The Hub on Steamworks Island continues to evolve. Now, all of the elements are colored in, and we’ve added some detail to try to tell the story of the island.

This version of the Hub is overgrown with vines and weeds. The wobbly angles of its structure are making it look like the whole thing could topple at any moment. And, of course, there’s now a sign telling everybody where they are.

Almost done!

BINARY BARD

And Also….

Filling in the Hub

Time for a pop quiz: Can you tell the difference between the picture we posted yesterday and the one below?

Most of the background elements still look the same as they did yesterday: flat and monochromatic. We’re adding more detail to the Hub on Steamworks Island. We’ve colored in some of the more important foreground objects. They really pop off your screen!

That doorway in the upper-lefthand side of the screen looks mighty intriguing, wouldn’t you say?

BINARY BARD

Well Bye! 😛

 

POST POST POST UGHHH

Here the two new post:

The Hub takes shape

The Hub started life as all of Poptropica does, as a simple idea and a sketch. Before long, we take that idea and turn it into reality. But did you know how many different revisions a single scene takes before it gets the Poptropica stamp of approval?

At first glance, this might look like a well developed scene.

But look a little more closely. Why is almost everything the same color? Why does it all look so flat? And what the heck is that blue thing on the right, anyway?

No, the Hub isn’t done yet. Not even close.

BINARY BARDA

And….

What’s all the Hub-bub?

One of the places you’ll visit on Steamworks Island is what we call the Hub. It’s a sight to see! A rickety tower, a massive drawbridge, and pot-bellied steam stoves powering everything. Safe to say that you’ve never seen anything like the Hub before.

Er, at least, you won’t have seen anything like it. To start with, this marvel of modern engineering just looked like this:

Yes, it’s hard to see what all the hubbub is about — yet. Just wait until you see how this one develops!

BINARY BARD

 

Well its about time…

They finally have gamer costumes, but I was hoping for like, a Wii controller or something.

And new ad! The revenge of kitty galore. Here are the rewards:

And here is the other post:

Poptropica Members: Get your exclusive Steamworks Island costume now!

Here it is! Today until July 30, all new and existing Poptropica Members will get this free costume added to their inventory. All you have to do is log into your game with a valid Membership!

Boy oh boy, that is one sweet looking mech pilot costume.

Wait a minute… what the heck is a “mech?”

COMIC KID

 

A Surprise!!!! :D

Yes there is a surprise well there is going to be a surprise! What kind of surprise you say? Well a Steamworks surprise!!!!! 😀  Here is the post:

A Steamworks surprise is coming

There’s a special treat coming tomorrow for Poptropica Members: a special Steamworks-related mystery item!

All will be revealed tomorrow. What could it be? The suspense is killing me!

…fortunately, I am well versed in suspenders.

COMIC KID

 

So You Want To Be Free?

So you want to be free well here is the new post:

I want to be free

That’s not true: I want everything else to be free. In the Poptropica Store, I mean. Even though most of those sweet, sweet Gold Cards cost me my precious Credits, there are plenty of free items to go around.

Like mini-quests!

The avatar studio!

Candy canes!

Popgum!

(What is it, bubblegum week around here? Wake me up when there’s a carrot-flavored gum. Sheesh.)

Of course, for Poptropica Members, everything in the store is free, even costumes. But you knew that already.

DR. HARE

 

Bubblegum Party!

Hey Merulesrules here, anyway here is todays post:

Remember that cool bubblegum we released to the Poptropica Store a few weeks ago?

Or maybe the hot bubblegum?

Or the free bubblegum?

Well, the creators decided to get together in a Multiverse room for a bubblegum party! As you can see, things got a little out of control.

Why not throw your own bubblegum party in a common room or Multiverse room?

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Whew long post! 🙂 Bye!

 

Hey!

Hai I’m Loud Shark! I’m new to this blog and I’m going to stay. Click HERE to go to my blog. Latest news….

Sink your teeth into these shark costumes

Have you had a chance to try out the new Hammerhead Shark costume in the Poptropica Store? I thought about it, but I couldn’t bear to look at myself in the mirror. What would my shark parents think?

Don’t forget, there are lots more neat ways to dress up like your favorite ocean predator in Poptropica. Also available in the store is this mean-looking Tiger Shark:

You don’t need credits for all the fishy fun. On Shark Tooth Island, a street vendor will give you this snazzy dorsal fin, free of charge!

And, of course, you can always visit the lowest level of the Shark Museum on Shark Tooth Island and costumize the most handsome museum employee around.

All this neat shark stuff — it’s almost enough to get me to crack a smile! Almost.

Shark Boy.

Multiverse

Bye! Peace around the world for generations.

 

Animations And A New Outfit!!!! :D

Well there is two new post one shows an animation of the plant monster from Steamworks Island attacking  and the other is about a new outfit!!! 🙂 😀 Anyway I can’t really show you the animation so I will give y’all a link!  Well here it is:

Steamworks monster animation test

Now that the we’ve decided what this plant monster should look like on the new Poptropica Island, Steamworks Island, the next step is to decide how the monster should move. We put together a quick and dirty animation test:

Animation

Bet you wouldn’t want to run into that thing in a dark alley!

All this has taken us nearly to the completion of a plant monster for Steamworks Island. We may still decide to change the monter’s behavior, or some aspects of its appearance. After a few final touches, we’ll put it all together — but you’ll have to wait until Steamworks Island launches to see it!

HADES

And….

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water…

I hope everyone is having a fun summer, while they squish red crabs on the beach. If you want to surprise your friends, try out the Hammerhead costume. It comes with a warm, limp fish.

Plant Monster Attack!! AHHH!!

New post:

Plant monster, attack!

We’ve got a pretty scary looking monster at this point, but what good is a monster if it can’t attack? This monster can swing its seed pods around from its head, before throwing them at you at high speed.

Looks like you’re pretty small next to this thing, doesn’t it? That’s not all — we haven’t even seen the plant monster in motion yet.

HADES

Sorry but I’m in a hurry. 😦

 

Plant Monsters Again

Plant monsters again oh well here is the post:

Steamworks plant monster art

After settling on a sketch we liked, it was time for to give a little more life to the plant monster that will be menacing players on Steamworks Island.

Below are two approaches to the plant monster. Can you spot the differences between them?

Little details, like the color of the planter, and big ones, like the plant’s eye, can make a big difference in the monster’s appearance.

The next step: animation test!

HADES

And….

Steamworks monster sketch

Yesterday, you saw some of the earliest ideas for the plant monsters that will appear on the next Poptropica island, Steamworks Island. This one seemed appropriately icky.

It’s still no more than a sketch — just an outline of an idea. But we’re already thinking about how the plant will look when it’s colored and detailed, and how it will move. The next step is to take this sketch and Poptropica-ize it!

HADES

 

Steamworks Monter??

Well here are some sketches of a monster thats going to apear in the upcoming island Steamworks Island:

Evolution of a Steamworks Island monster

For Steamworks Island, the we’ll pit you against a variety of mutated plant monsters. But how did we make the creepiest, crawliest, ickiest plant monsters around?

We started by brainstorming.

These are just some of the sketches we drew to help us visualize what our monstrous creations would look like. Not all of the sketches will make it into the final product — in fact, most won’t — but this allows us to try out different ideas. Then we’ll take the very best concepts and work them into Poptropica.

HADES

 

Science Gives Me Headaches

New PCB post:

Celebrate with some powerful party favors.

Here are three items in the store to pump some power into your party.

The Atomic Power item will generate a lot of atomic energy for you and those who happen to be near you when you punch the power button (space bar.)

The fireworks are another new item in the store. Just launch them and watch the fireworks shower above. I recommend using them on top of a tall building on Spy Island, or at the Pirate Outpost. Just try not to light them too close to the gun powder on Pirate Outpost. We don’t want to have to release an injured victim outfit in the store.

And last, don’t forget those Silly Streams. Always fun for spraying at friends, and innocent mimes that are often too easy of a target.

MASTER MIME

Happy 4th of July!

Quick Berry: Yup Coderkid was right the name of the upcoming island is Steamworks Island!! Here is the PCB post:

Announcing the new Poptropica island!

All week we’ve been showing you sneak peeks of the newest Poptropica island currently in development, and we’ve promised to reveal the island’s name.

The time has come. My fellow Poptropicans, the Poptropica creators are proud to announce their newest creation:

STEAMWORKS ISLAND is coming soon!

Make sure to visit the official Poptropica creators’ blog often for the latest news and announcements about Steamworks Island, including some of the incredible gameplay features we have in store.

Its A Bomb!!

Here is the dynamite gadget in color:

New island sneak peek week: It’s the bomb

Yesterday to keep the sneak peeks rolling out the door, we showed concept sketches of dynamite for the new island.

Here is the finished version. This is something that you are not allowed to hold while chasing your brothers around the campfire.

Look at all those gauges and wires. I had to read a 500 page manual to learn how to use it properly. Though, I accidentally discovered that throwing it works too.

Now that you’ve seen a glimpse of the design style of some of these items, can you guess what kind of island this is going to be?

Don’t forget to come back tomorrow for the announcement of the new island name!

New Gadget Sneak Peak!!!

Here’s another sneak peek of another gadget:

New island sneak peek week: It’s dynamite!

You dyna-might want to take a look at this next item. Ok, I know that was a terrible joke.

Take a gander at these sketches of dynamite. This explosive gadget is a little more complicated than the stick of clay you are used to seeing.

Come back tomorrow to see the final image of this dynamite with some color. And don’t forget that on Friday, we’re revealing the name of the new island for the first time.

MASTER MIME

It looks more like a fireworks to me.

 

New Island Sneak Peek Week: The Multi Tool

Here is another sneak peek on the multi tool:

Yesterday, we introduced a handy tool that you will need for the next Poptropica island, called the “Multi Tool.” I can imagine that you may be thinking, “Multi Tool?…Hmmm…It must be used for multiple tasks.”

It’s true that this device will do more than open a can of soup.

This is not the only tool you will need to make your way through the next Poptropica adventure. Tomorrow we will show you another inventory item that you are certain to have a blast using.

MASTER MIME

Well now we have a guess to what the island maybe called Coderkid on the Poptropica Help Blog said that it may be called “Steamworks Island”.

 

New Island Sneak Peek Week!

Now the creator’s are showing us sneak peeks of a new island! YAY!  Now look at this cool gadget the creator’s are showing us:

Many of you have noticed that there is a new Poptropica island in the works. We’ve decided to share a few sneak peeks of this mysterious, mechanical island.

You’ll need a few gadgets to get past some tricky puzzles and wacky, wild monsters — and I’m not talking about your dad’s pocket knife.

Here are a couple of gizmos that you won’t find in your home toolbox. One of these will help you on your quest to victory, cheering fans, and instant popularity…well, at least victory.

“Multi Tool”? Hmm, what do you think it does?

Come back all week for more sneak peeks. Then, on Friday, we’ll announce the name of the new island. You’ll get it here first, so keep those eyeballs glued to the blog for more exciting peeks.

MASTER MIME

Well guys it looks like we are going to be using this tool on the new island cool huh?

 

Behind The Scenes Of Skullduggery Island: The Phoenix Warbird, Part five

Here is part 5 along with a video:

With the colors and the scale of the Phoenix Warbird in place, it’s time for a few final tweaks to the design. For that extra “oomph,” the creators give the ship a set of fierce-looking talons.

And it’s done! Starting with one basic idea, the creators sketch out different possibilities, choose a direction, and then refine and improve the design until the final version you see here.

Here’s how it looks next to an actual Poptropican.

Huge, isn’t it?

And here’s a look at the Phoenix Warbird when it takes to the seas.

Pirates of Skullduggery Island, tremble in fear!

Quite a journey from concept to reality, huh? How far we’ve come:

Of course, seeing the Phoenix Warbird in pictures is one thing. Taking the helm of this mighty vessel is quite another.

Have you earned enough doubloons in Skullduggery Island to buy the Phoenix Warbird? If not, what are you waiting for? Play Skullduggery Island now!
