Creator Clips… and some Creator data!

Curiosity might have killed the cat. But the Creators know it won’t stop you. Thirsting for some knowledge? A new feature has been added into the Daily Pop: Creator Clips!

Introducing Creator Clips!

We’re thrilled to introduce a new feature in the Daily Pop: Creator Clips!

Creator Clips are original stories, jokes, pictures, and other fun stuff from some of the best writers, illustrators, and cartoonists around. In the weeks to come, you’ll find out:

  • The most embarrassing thing that ever happened to Rick Riordan, the author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians
  • The worst job that Jeff Kinney, author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, ever had
  • The scariest thing that ever happened to Mary Pope Osborne, author of The Magic Tree House
  • Something that Lincoln Peirce, writer and artist of Big Nate, has never told anyone before
And much, much more! Check out Creator Clips now in the Daily Pop. A new entry will be posted every Monday.

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Thanks for that, Captain Crawfish. Maybe we won’t eat you just yet. 🙂
CC: Whew! I’m still alive!
Hijuyo: Watch it! I said YET.
That’s not the only place you can get information about people who have played a part in Poptropica. The Poptropica Help Blog offers, among other cool stuff, the Poptropica Creators Database – a collection of data we know about the identities of the Poptropica Creators, the very people who work to create for us such an awesome game!
Recently a new section has been added to our Creators Database, and our thanks goes to Quiet Eagle for discovering the identity of Director D – who is known to his workmates as James Lema! Besides being the former director of Spy Island HQ, James is also the Director of Product Development at Poptropica’s Headquarters! Read more about it in our database.
CC: Bet you’ll never find MY real name!
Hijuyo: Do you WANT to be eaten?
CC: No, arrrr!
Hijuyo: Then keep a low profile, would you?
CC: Aye aye Captain.
Hijuyo: I can’t hear you.
CC: AYE AYE, CAPTAIN!
Hijuyo: Wait, I thought you were the Captain. Captain… Crawfish.
(At the word “crawfish,” crowds of hungry seals rush in to nom CC.)
CC: Aye, ’tis an omnom life for me.
Shrink Ray Island

You don’t want to misplay the Shrink Ray!

Slanted Fish

I know, I know, Red Dragon Island was only just released to the public a day before this major announcement. But to cut the suspense short, here it is, the name of the next big (or was it shrunk to small?) island…

Shrink Ray Island!

If you try visiting its island page, you may have noticed that it has changed in format! Whereas there used to just be a graphic, there are now links to other island pages, merchandise, and membership. You know what else this means? Early Poptropica Island finally has its own description! My how Poptropica’s growing up. :,D

You can also find some sneak peek images above the island description, which by the way, reads this:

A young genius has invented a ray gun that shrinks anything it touches – including you! But when the scientist and her invention go missing, you’ll have to keep the shrink ray from falling into the wrong hands, and find a way to bring yourself back to normal size. To solve a problem this big, you’ve got to think small!

Sounds interesting! What do you think of Shrink Ray Island so far? 🙂

Red Dragon Island

Red Dragon Island is here for all!

Slanted Fish

Finally, the wait is over for nonmembers! Head over to Red Dragon Island via your blimp and experience Frog Creek, Pennsylvania with Jack and Annie, then rescue them when they get lost in Ancient Japan!

Fear does not exist in this dojo

Just a reminder to all that it’s June 2nd, which means that Red Dragon Island should be released to the public sometime today! In the meantime, though, there’s a new ad, “Kickin’ It” – and no, it has nothing to do with the front seat; it’s the Disney XD series – it’s a challenge for kungfu fighters to see if they’ve got what it takes to join the Bobby Wasabi Martial Arts Academy!

Thanks to TheLoudShark for providing the walkthrough video! Your prizes at the end are a Kickin’ It trophy, uniform, and a secret move known as the Wasabi Kick!

Random question of the day:
Do you like wasabi? 

Web Development

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 million!

Slanted Fish

As of today, May 24, 2011, the Poptropica Help Blog has reached the milestone of five million visitors. It’s been less than three years, but we have had thousands coming to our website every day for their dose of Poptropica awesomeness.

And we couldn’t have done this without all of you guys. Thank you to each and everyone of you for continuing to support the PHB!

As a reward, you can now indulge yourself in the goodness of some limited edition PHB cookies made just for the occasion. 😀
