Steamworks Galore!

Shaggy Tornado

The Steamworks Island info page is here (thanks, Popular Dragon!). I checked and it’s not on the Poptropica homepage yet, but Its on the homepage now, and Hijuyo showed it to me last night! The plot sounds interesting though:

The silence of empty streets welcomes you. Metals and machines fill the lonely halls, and a growing mystery lurks behind a shroud of steam. Can you uncover what happened to the inhabitants of this ancient island? Gear up for a steam-powered adventure you will never forget!

There’s no exact release date yet, but it’s available soon with Membership, and available to everyone later this summer!

Looks like it’s based on the Mayans but instead it’s all futuristic. In the 1400’s the Mayans suddenly abandoned their cities and no one knows why. I’m guessing they based it on that. 😀

Cats and Dogs: Revenge of Kitty Galore Ad!

There is a new ad for ages 6-11, called Cats and Dogs: Revenge of Kitty Galore. So far it’s been found on Spy Island. So basically, there’s a game inside where Kitty Galore is disguised as a cute puppy and they switch places. You have to click the disguised Kitty Galore. If you get 2 mistakes you lose. Its actually pretty easy.

As rewards, you get a Spy Helmet outfit and a Cats and Dogs hologram. The Spy Helmet’s special action is the laser looking thing on the top shoots. For the hologram, you have to press space while holding the item to make a hologram of yourself.

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

Hijuyo posting:

Again thanks to Adiboy101, we’ve uncovered another Poptropica Creator! Jennifer Wood is the Managing Editor at Poptropica, according to her LinkedIn profile. Surprisingly, there are no females on the Poptropica Creators’ Blog.

Also, we believe that the other Creator we recently uncovered – Mitch Krpata – is Hades on the PCB. Why? Looking at the Poptropica Assets website, you can find that the Bolas Plant SWF for Steamworks Island was posted by [email protected] – and on the PCB, the same animation was posted by Hades. 😀

Yes, we stalk. ;D

Membership, Store

Not everything is free in this world…

Shaggy Tornado

But these stuff are in the Poptropica Store! New post from PCB right here (Sorry Dr. Hare but no carrot flavored gum for you xD):

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.

Did you guys notice that he left out the free graduation day outfit? The first ever free outfit?! *pauses for a moment and thinks back on who gave the post* Dr. Hare?!?! ZOMG!! How’d he come back from space!??! 😮 But might as well stay cause i’ll make some gum for you! 😀 Bye guys! *waves*

*Goes into secret lab and makes carrot flavored gum, then disappears with a poof, leaving behind a faint smell of carrots :D*

Store

Shark Mania!!

Shaggy Tornado

This new PCB post is all about the shark costumes by your favorite Poptropica creator, Shark Boy! Check it out:

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.

Did you guys buy any of the store costumes?  Anyways, its my first official post! Yay!! 🙂

Well, ST out! PEACE!! 😀
