Mocktropica Island

Full Effect — not yet here…

HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

Today, I logged into my pop account, clicked on return to your game, which was Time Tangled (yes, still enjoying the update).

Poptropica Creators' Blog

I was surprised to see not Time Tangled at all, but in fact MEGA FIGHTING BOTS!  And once the screen was loaded, I couldn’t get out!  If I went back to the home page, it would redirect to MFB!  Not only that, but it wasn’t the normal MFB site; it was the new Poptropica format/player with Mega Fighting Bots inside it!

The first effect of Gamer Guy’s ploy, I believe.  You can still make a new player, and you can still go to recent islands through the homepage… but this is just  the beginning, I think.  In the next couple days, I believe Poptropica will start to fall apart!

Edit: Due to comments, I wonder really if this is intentional, or just a weird glitch… jumping-to-conclusionitis is a condition I suffer from. 😉

Spying on Spy Island

HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

I’m going to make one more prediction: Spy Island is the next to be updated!

spybg

Thanks to Elphangor and raqk for figuring this one out, lets go in order here… first, Elphangor revealed a new soundtrack for Spy Island.  You can listen to it here.  One, I love it, and two, what?!  This is crazy!  But still not crazy enough!

Next one goes to raqk, who found a background for Spy. That’s not much of a discovery, eh? Let’s take a look at the link:

See anything interesting?  The new “sound improved” island’s url are always /game/, while the old island’s url are always /base.php/.  So, the conclusion is, Spy Island is most definitely coming next, and also, it’s already been uploaded?  I’ll let you guys muse over it while I eat donuts.  I dunno why I said that… 😛

Predictions

HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

This will be a quick post about my predictions on Mocktropica;

Mocktropica Island Tour

First, I want to tell you, if you haven’t figured it out already, that this blog is like a journal to me.  Any blog I get on is like a journal.  I truly am a Poptropica Fanatic, and I say that soundly… so I’m writing from my heart.  Whenever I get carried away, wait, I’ll get back to the subject.  I know my posts are sorta long, and they go on and on.  I really want to make an impression here… thanks for being so supportive! 🙂

Now, back to the good stuff, I got some ideas from Nameless UnDEFiNed.  I then started to connect the dots.  The island will be like no other because it’s being played through right now!  I believe that Gamer Guy is the one behind the glitches, after he got fired!  There’s no more explanation needed, it’s that obvious, plain, and simple!

I have a hunch I’m right, what do you think? 😉

PHB Sunday Special: Hacks, Music, and Genius

HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

A while ago, Strange Cat (or Christmas Clown) mused that I may become the new Codien…

I didn’t really take it seriously, but now, I sort of wonder.  I think I may have hit the jack pot, I can prove it to you with a link.  Maybe even a couple links.  Anyway, let’s break this down into parts.

static.poptropica.com-game-assets-scenes-poptropolis-mainStreet-interactive.swf

Gamer Guy

The talk of the town is that Gamer Guy got fired.  Well, I’m pretty sure he didn’t get fired.  I have my theories, but I also may know who he really is. I don’t know for sure, but Kyle Fox sure fits the description: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/kyle-fox/14/190/587

I believe that Kyle did a one time job for Poptropica, and the posts were just part of that.  They took advantage of the situation, and made it into a sort of publicity stunt.  When the job was over, his fun was over. This seems to be slightly forced though, so what do you guys think?

The Music

If I haven’t told you before, here it is:  if all else fails, I will root for the new improved islands JUST because of the amazing soundtrack. Jeff Heim is a genius, his music is genius, and you can hear the actual original soundtracks from their original files. This is only the beginning.  More will be revealed later.

The Backgrounds

As well as music, you can view the backgrounds of scenes just like you can view items!  Sadly, you can’t save them to you computer, as they are shockwave files, and some of them are off of the screen.  Maybe in the future we can have a page dedicated to the backgrounds, as there are key words to reveal them.

The Body

You can also view parts of the Poptropican body!

The Sounds

You can also hear the sounds!

~

In  all, I think that this is a major breakthrough, and it’s not just for the sound islands.  To file away everything together will be a huge undertaking, but I think that it can be done!

There is more than just what I showed you today; the possibilities are endless!  I will post more some time or another. 🙂
