Introducing the PoptropiComic!

Hi Gs,

A few weeks ago, I announced that I was starting a story driven comic centered around my Poptropican, Messy Sinker. I haven’t forgotten about that project, and if you keep up with my DeviantArt, you’ll know that the first few pages have been released there.

This comic won’t just be starring me, though! As before mentioned, a few other key community members will play large roles in the comic, and I think you guys will really enjoy the mixture of personalities. I have so much to cover in the comic – from Doodles to Time Keepers – and I’m splitting up these adventures into “books”. These books will be comprised of chapters, which will be comprised of pages. Here’s the thing: these chapters will have a lot of pages – 50 to 100 each – so the books will be pretty large. These stories will be larger than life. You can read the first pages below:

For the latest pages, keep watch on my DeviantArtI post them as soon as I finish them! I’ll be sure to publish some posts containing pages on here as well, once a few have been posted there. Also, there’s more to this story than just a comic. Stay tuned for more on that… 😉

TAFN.

Poptropica for Kindle Fires, DeviantArt, & the PoptropiCast!

Hi Gs,

Yes, finally the day has come: Poptropica is now legally and not bootlegged for Kindle Fire devices! Super excited for auto updates ❤ I’m really excited for that “Poptropica TV” update that’s happening sometime this week. At this point, I think all the major handheld devices have the Poptropica mobile app – except the *cough*Windows phone*cough*

My DeviantArt

But there’s more to discuss in this post! First of all – and I’m surprised I haven’t announced this sooner – but I created a DeviantArt a few months ago. You can go watch me (I’ll watch back!) and enjoy each other’s Poptropica art!

PoptropiCast Co-host competition

Remember the PoptropiCast? I really still want to do it, but without a co-host it’s going to be really difficult. Just as a test run, you can send in an audio submission of text of your choosing. Just read it and send it! (You can use Audacity to record it!)

popCastCoHost

As the graphic describes, you’ll need a good mic (nothing fancy) and a fluid voice (able to put words together) in order to be eligible. Send the submissions to [email protected]. I’ll select some possible co-hosts and we’ll go from there. (and yes, I plan to make a new logo. 😛 )

PoptropiComic details

A few weeks ago, I decided to make a comic for Poptropica – thanks to Ylimegirl for the name – and now it’s time to officially announce it. I can’t give any set dates, I’m just going to release it as I finish each panel. It’s a story driven comic with main characters Messy Sinker and Nice Demon (Nice Dragon’s new name) – possibly more eventually. Keep watch (heh) on my DeviantArt as I before mentioned for the first page!

This has been my first combined update post in a while. :O Glad to be back.

Reign of Curls, Comics, Tweets and Zomberries!

Hello Poptropicans! Slippery here.

First of all, Poptropica has announced over Twitter that the concluding episode of PoptropiCon—Ep. 3: Reign of Omegon—will be released on March 19th for members and on April 9th for all. Just keep in mind that these dates are only tentative and may change. If you want more news about the final episode, check out the island page here on the PHB.

PopCon3-ScreensaverNext, Poptropica tweeted Popstorm #17! It’s all about curly hairs. Pretty awesome.

PopStorm 17Poptropica has also uploaded weeks 29 to 32 of the Poptropica Comics series (not to be confused with Mystery of the Map, which you can read in its entirety on the PHB’s Comics page!) and you can check them out on Funbrain! Oliver and Jorge will continue their adventures with the Veggiestein and the characters from the Wizard of Oz. Thanks to Fairy Tale for the tip!

popcomics2932Also, Poptropica revealed their plans for the app for this year. It includes multiplayer games, common rooms, and more items on the store.  And in case you haven’t heard yet, we can use our own accounts by the end of the year! Sounds exciting for me. Check out these tweets:

They also tweeted a couple of interesting Realms:

Last but not the least, Poptropica uploaded a brand new video and it features the Zomberries from Zomberry Island. They also tweeted that Poptropica Realms will receive an update with Zomberries in it! Hmm, very puzzling. Anyway, enjoy the video of these zomberries grooving on the funky beat of DJ Saturday Nite at the karaoke bar! Very funny.

That’s all of the updates! Hope y’all had fun. Any thoughts? 🙂

Lastly, here are a few more Realms that Poptropica featured on Twitter this weekend with the comment, “You’re building beautiful, amazing, and loving.” That last one does give off a Valentine vibe!

That’s all for now – stay popping, Poptropicans. 😉
