Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Island, Labs (Land), Mission Atlantis Island, Nintendo DS Game, PoptropiCon Island

Thursday wrap-up: Land pets, DS trailer, & CatCF pics

As you guys know, a lot of stuff happened this past Thursday. This post will be a wrap-up of all the updates/announcements, other than the release of PoptropiCon and Mission Atlantis (already mentioned by Samwow5).

However I do want to say that PoptropiCon has to be one of my favorite islands right now. I love how there were random Poptropicans (that you could customize) that just roamed around the island (along with the Poptropicans you could actually talk to). It made it feel more like real life, ya know? ๐Ÿ™‚

landAnyway, let’s get to it, shall we?ย First off, PopLand has been updated to include animals. Most of them will harm you, but a few are nice and will mind their own business. (For the PHB’s guide to Land, click here!) Sadly, the furniture that we saw in the sneak peek was nowhere to be found or earned. Hopefully they will be added soon because in my opinion, the animals aren’t that big of a deal. They can hurt us, but while we can’t tame them, we can get rid of them by bringing them to lava.

To emphasize the update, the PopLand tour page now reads:

Donโ€™t be surprised if you find yourself face to face with a blue-feathered tigerphant or an elusive fox monkey while exploring in Poptropica Land! Strange creatures will be showing up in the next version of the Poptropica Land labs project. Just be careful, theyโ€™re not all friendly!

You may also get an invitation to take a survey about Land, which you can check out here.ย From past experience, the Creators do listen to our suggestions, so be sure to let them know what you’d like to see in future Land updates!

In other news, the Forgotten Islands 3DS game that was recently mentioned now has a trailer!ย The title of the video indicates that the game will only be available in North America (at first/for now?).

As the video says, it will be released on October 14, 2014, but you can pre-order it now. According to the Creators…

The 3DS version of Forgotten Islands includes all of the content from the iOS game, including seasonal costume packs, and is presented in stereoscopic 3D! You’ve never seen Poptropica like this before.

…so if you’ve played it before, it’ll probably be the same game, just on the DS. ๐Ÿ˜‰ To see what the iOS version of Forgotten Islands is like, check out the PHB’s walkthrough here!

Now onto our last big subject. The Creators wanted to celebrate theย 50th anniversary of Roald Dahlโ€™s Charlie and the Chocolate Factoryย by showing us some of the concept art (and their final versions)ย they made forย Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Island, which came out in 2012.

We will show you the pictures below,ย but to see what the Creators had to say, click here. Poptropica also got to post on the actual Roald Dahl website, which you can read by clicking here. Note that the two posts are not the same, so you probably want to check out both of them (click to enlarge images). ๐Ÿ˜‰

Hellos & Goodbyes, Mission Atlantis Island

Spotted – signing in!

Hello PHB viewers! My name is Spotted Dragon and I am the newest PHB author.Poptropica Avatar Spotted Dragon 2

When I got the invite I was super excited. Being an author on here has been my biggest dream/goal, ever since I started blogging. Heck, the PHB inspired me to make my own site. I could never thank Fishy enough for how she has helped me become a happier/better person. ๐Ÿ™‚

Now a little about myself. My blog isย Adventure Time Pop, a Poptropica and Adventure Time site. I admit it’s an odd mix, but at the time I started blogging, Poptropica and AT were my favorite things in the world, and kinda still are. Anyway, I love art (but my digital art isn’t that good because I don’t have a drawing pad – I use my mouse), soccer, reading, writing, and a ton of other stuff. I’m also really into Gravity Falls, but I don’t want to bore you guys any longer, going on and on about myself. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I guess that’s it for now! Hope you guys are gonna like my posts!

Atlantis Captain, Survival’s Max McGullicutty, & Land

Ahoy, Poptropicans!ย Members who have played the final chapter of Mission Atlantis may have picked upย the Atlantis Captain costume towards the end — but everyone can get it from the Store for free!ย When you press space bar, the helmet will either reveal or hide your face.

In addition to recently being released to everyoneย online,ย Survival 4 (Cabin Fever) is also now on the Poptropica iOS app! Click here for the PHB’s Survival walkthrough. Tally ho!

Meanwhile on Poptropica’s Tips & Tricks app, they’ve added guides for Survival 2 through 4, and it’s 99 cents for each episode. If it’s a walkthrough you need, though, I’d advise saving your money and using the PHB’s freeย Survival Island Guideย instead! Sure, we’re not official, but we’re still here to help. ๐Ÿ˜›

Speaking of Survival, there’s just one more episode left, and from what we know, you’re on the run from MVB, but you have a friend waiting for you in the woods. He’s the mysterious character who left you notes on the tapestry in Episode 4 (allowing your escape), and signed it “M.M.” So who is M.M.?

Remember the Manifest from the plane in Episode 3? There was a name for the coin-collecting passenger: Max McGullicutty…ย M.M.! And this Daily Pop sneak peekย might just be giving us a look at him, disheveled from life in the woods, and more importantly, with an “M” on his belt buckle:

MaxM

If you remember from one of HP’s Survival Files on the PHB, there’s some dialogue with what appears to be a superstitious fisherman… and as we haven’t encountered this character yet, perhaps it’s Max.

Also, we haven’t forgotten about Poptropica Land, now in alpha version 2 and still only available to membersย (get the Labs card from the Store). It’sย a big step up from the first prototype of Poptropica Labs, and new features include: the magical blue hammer of creation and destruction (Svadilfari), “Poptanium” mining instead of coins, the ability to save, and more!

Stay tuned to the PHB for a more in-depth look as well as a community event coming soon, involving this updated feature! In the meantime, don’t forget to be awesome. ๐Ÿ™‚
