Celebrate the 4th’ with the newest mind-blasting store items! :D

Hyper Star

*Ka-BOOOOOOM!!!*

The Creators have made things easier for Americans. The new “radiating” store items have arrived conveniently just before the American Independence day. So let’s watch as sparks fly in this 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.

Thank you, Master Mime. On another note, I will be slowly quitting the Poptropica Help Forums, run by the awesome Coderkid. You won’t see me on many chats, nor will I be active on many blogs, such as the Poptropican Info Blog. I have decided to stay on the PHB, since it has been a dream of mine to join and post. Which reminds me…
I’m sorry.
I haven’t posted in a while, because everything has been posted before I get the chance to. Keep up the great work, guys!
So, on those notes, Happy Independance Day, Americans, and enjoy your July 4th, Canada, Spain, Portugal, Russia, Australia, Equador… 😛

Steamworks Island

Curtain Call for Steamworks island! :O

Green Boa

New island has been revealed! With a snazzy name, ‘Steamworks’. 😀 (Ok Coder, how did you know? 😉 )

Friday, July 2, 2010

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.

It seems to be a ‘structure’ theme with robots, gizmos and gadgets, wild and wacky plants, and a deserted looking town. o__O Anyway, this island looks really cool! It had better be, too, sailing on a pheonix warbird can get boring. 😆

Sneak Peeks, Steamworks Island

Da BOMB :O

Slanted Fish

Da bomb! Da bomb! Who knows what dangers this could hold?

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!

o_O

And the end still looks like a rat’s tail… wait… could this stick of dynamite be, in fact, a rat? A live cheese-eating mouse…? :O JK. xD

OMG WE’RE ALL GONNA BLOW UP>.<

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.

Like I said, we’re all gonna blow up! 😀

The stick o’ dynamite looks pretty techy… The creators must be getting ready for the 4th as well…. The string that you burn looks like a rat tail to me. xD

It’s late. So today, you get a short post! 😉

Ja.

Hellos & Goodbyes

An End to a Journey is the Start of a New Life

Dear fellows of my sweet Poptropica,

How nice you have treated me during these unforgettable years. I am sad to say that the PHB will no longer be with me, only apart of my memories that i will forever remember.

Thank-you Scary Tomato, or Hijuyo. Thank-you for giving me the chance to help create the wonderful community surrounding the PHB. I loved what i did. I wish i could continue, but my studies have caught up to me and reality beats virtuality.

I have made many friends, and to you i say thank-you for making me smile, and enjoy what i do.

I will still be around. Popping in once and a while. I will continue to develop my blog to what i dreamed of.

Stay with me. Remember me.

Good-bye.
