Dr Hare ears, a copter, and the return of Poptropolis

hare earsHear ye, hear ye! Free ears for everybody*! (Now you can hear me even better!) Just enter the new promo code DRHARE7500 when you log into Poptropica to receive the Dr. Hare’s Lair – Dr. Hare Ears Power, which allows you to give everybody Dr. Hare ears! (Don’t worry, they’ll be removed once you enter a new room/area.)

*Everybody who has supported the project on LEGO CUUSOO, that is. So if you haven’t done that yet, and you’ve passed your 13th birthday or know someone who already has, Mr. Bucktooth Bunny Dr. Hare would like your support!

There’s a video ad on Main Streets for a book by James Patterson called Middle School: How I Survived Bullies, Broccoli, Snake Hill. After watching the video, you’ll get a Middle School: Rafe Rescue Copter for a prize! The helicopter will just fly by on your screen when you activate it, like so:

…maybe not the best way to carry a sick person. At least it didn’t drop him on my head!

Could this new Daily Pop sneak peek be hinting at the return of Poptropolis Games Island? Samwow5 thinks so. It certainly does have that emerge-from-underwater and giant-statue-block feel to it!

Salvage Operation – There are a lot of treasures at the bottom of the sea.

What’s your take? Return of Poptropolis, maybe with some new additions, or just a decapitated head taking a little bubble bath in the sea? I mean, there are a couple spots on there that could use a bit of cleaning…

Dial B for Bunny

Hey, I’m back! With projects, finals, and even summer assignments for high-school, I have been really busy and unable to post. Do not fear! Now that summer is underway I will have more time to post! (Seems like this is becoming a common theme, doesn’t it?)

Or should it be Dial B for Beta?

Now that the introduction is out of the way, we have our first official look inside the new 24 Carrot Island: Beta Carrotene and we get an explanation of what it includes (other than  a red-orange pigment found in plants and fruits, especially carrots and colorful vegetables 😉 ). We will be able to play with  features previously previewed such as the full screen, music and sound effects, and controversial new “navigation system” that appears to be the same as what is used in the common rooms. We do have to remember that since it is just in Beta that there will be features missing such as saving your game or using the customizer, but don’t fret, because these will be added back in later. Are you bouncing off the walls about this update, because I definitely am!

Dial M for Monkey B for Bunny

We also have our first look at the newest LEGO CUUSOO project prize. Our next code will give us the power to place these bunny ears on who ever we want! But wait, what would happen if we tried to put them on Dr. Hare? These styling bunny ears can be yours in under 100 more supporters, so if you haven’t yet, make sure to support the project!

You have to admit, you want to put some bunny ears on every one on 24 Carrot too.

Coming soon to 24 Carrot Island: Beta Carrotene!

Hey, guys, BT here with a special piece of news: I looked on the 24 Carrot Island island page and I found this little thing added:

Beta Carrotene

Turns out the pink jumpsuit from earlier sneak peeks is the Members Only Beta Tester costume:

So… members can be beta testers now?! Holy slice of carrot cake, this sounds exciting! Well, from the sounds of this, it’ll be the original 24 Carrot Island quest except with a soundtrack, a bigger screen, and… “better navigation”. Oh great, don’t tell me the common room cursor is going to be a part of this…

Anyhoo, it looks like for right now, the soundtrack would be exculsively for 24 Carrot Island, but who knows if the Creators would ever make beta versions of other popular islands? Only time will tell, I guess.

BT out!

UPDATE (Fuzzy-B): The Poptropica homepage now has a banner for the upcoming 24 Carrot beta!

Daily Pop Sneak Peeks, Sneak Peeks, Virus Hunter Island

How a bot a shaking virus, islandception, and dead captain?

The Poptropica Creators have hinted that we don’t have much longer to wait for Virus Hunter Island with this sneak peek animation of a twitching virus to keep us interested! Still don’t know the island release date yet, but it sounds like it’ll be really soon. It might even be the first island with full sound & music!

Now let’s take a look at some Daily Pop sneak peeks!

How a Bot That – Nobody told these guys about Asimov’s three laws of robotics.

Remember the earlier sneak peek of the battlemechs which might possibly be for the promised ‘battle arena’ of Legendary Swords? Well, how a bot this?

How a bot that

Operating System – When technology meets talent, anything is possible.

Designing a Poptropica island while on a Poptropica island? I call islandception!

Unfinished – Finishing this scene will be a phase 2 initiative.

Looks like the third location from the above ‘island design’ sneak peek. A happy scene set in stone. Now to put the rest of the colors in place…

Unfinished

Captains Courageous – Learning to appreciate poetry, one explication at a time.

‘It is some dream that on the deck / You’ve fallen cold and dead.’ So sad, so sad.

Higher Learning – Molding young minds for a brighter future.

At a university, perhaps studying poems like the one above?

higher learning

Well how about that? What are you looking forward to most for the future of Poptropica? 🙂

Virus Hunter Island

Virus Hunter Island confirmed

Well, we were right, and having known this for a while now, it’s pretty anticlimactic. But whether you knew or not, the Creators have now confirmed the existence of Virus Hunter Island!

I think the logo looks kind of weak, but that may just be me. Comment below and tell us what you think! The Creators have given us the plot summary as well:

Somewhere in Poptropica, an unknown citizen harbors within his bloodstream a dangerous new virus. Your mission: locate Patient Zero, and eradicate the disease before it spreads. Prepare for a perilous journey to the most far-out place of all — inside the human body!

(Patient Zero is most likely Joe, who I predicted would be a big character in this adventure.)

Next the Creators say, “It’s the biggest and best (or maybe smallest and spiffiest?) Poptropica Island ever!” That’s probably a reference to the entire adventure taking place in one person.

The PHB’s Virus Hunter Island page has also been updated accordingly, with links to the island extras (including witty postcards regarding body parts!) and info on the members’ stuff (including the bonus quest, where we’ll be helping a sick dog).

Virus Hunter sneak peek

That’s all for now; there’s not much more to say, as we already knew about the island, but remember to check our Virus Hunter Island page for more sneak peeks and trivia.

Adios!
