Hi Gs,
I’m back with another post about the upcoming game ‘Orb Legend‘, this time focusing on the villains of the story. I think a lot of you will happy to hear that this story has infinitely more depth than Poptropica, even to the point of rebuilding some original main villains with more lore.
One of the main ideas we’ve had since the beginning of OL was to take all the neglected villains of Poptropica — those who never had much backstory or screen time — and give them as much or more story and screen time as the villains we see on the forefront of the online game. When I say neglected villains, I mean villains who don’t even appear in the islands!
To jog your memory, Dr. Cumulo Nimbus is from a mini-quest obtained by purchasing the inflatable blimp toy. He wants to set fire to all of Poptropica using his decked out blimps. He lives in a Fortress of Solitude type area.
Arthur Eraser is a peculiar artist who owns a magic pencil, which he plans on using to erase all of Poptropica. You can stop him in the book Pencil Warrior.
Daphne Dreadnaught is an inventor from a promo quest for Ghost Story Island. She plans on collecting souls and using them to power her evil suit.
The Mole King is a speculative villain from the unreleased island coined “Underground Island” that was dropped a few years ago. All that is known of him is a neat sketch released on the Poptropica twitter.
E.Vile is a cyborg who for some reason wants to destroy Poptropica via a robotic army he created. He appears in the mini-quest Legendary Swords.
Again, these villains will be fleshed out greatly in OL — from Arthur’s doodle rogues to Cumulo’s secret identity! Keep tuned on the dev blog for more.
TAFN.

Awesome!! I haven’t heard of most of those villains, but it sounds awesome so far, nonetheless!
I’m so hyped for this game~! 😀
I am too. 😀
By the way, who made the art for this?
I did the sketch. SmileyOrg did the drawings in the graphic. 🙂
Yas characters. Every villain needs a good story 😀
Yaaas! The hype is real! 😀
Super awesome! I’m so hyped for this – as a fan of RPGs in the style of Undertale and a fan of Poptropica, I know this is going to be amazing (along with GHA, of course! :D)
The Creators have said NOTHING about this awesome game…they’re probably jealous that it has a more in-depth story than their own.
It’s gonna be awesome! 😀
This seems AWESOME!!! 😀
I love Daphne’s outfit! Reminds me of on that a girl wore on Steamworks Island
Villains, the fun part of the story. other people don’t think about the villains, but they’re who pull the story together!
I’m really pumped up for this! This is a great tribute to all the forgotten villains 🙂
I 110% agree, Wolfie 😀 I haven’t even heard of any of them besides E.Vile so it will be really cool to see them in Orb Legend!
Oh, really? They are mostly classics that have been brought up waaay before SUIs existed. And I prefer the name “PW” or “P-Dubbs.” 😛 But yeah, I agree with you agreeing to me and this whole thing sounds gr8 AAAH *fangirls*
