Skullduggery Island

Skullduggery in Sketch

Slanted Fish

Hijuyo: Hi! This is the PHB post “Skullduggery in Sketch,” which is all about… Skullduggery in pre-island sketches! O:
Cpt Crawfish: Hey, it’s my turn to speak nao.
Hijuyo: Wut! You’re the n00b we have to destroy on Skullduggery Island! Who brought you back from the dead?!
Cpt Crawfish: But… but… I prepared a speech! I WANNA BE ON THE PHB!!11!!
Hijuyo: Oki then… o_O
Cpt Crawfish: *takes huge breath* Well, here we go!

Behind the scenes of Skullduggery Island: The Phoenix Warbird

If you’ve earned enough doubloons on Skullduggery Island to buy the Phoenix Warbird, then you know it’s the fiercest craft around, even more than Captain Crawfish’s ship.

But how did the Phoenix Warbird go from idea to reality? First, one of the Poptropica creators had the brilliant notion of making the most powerful ship on Skullduggery Island have a bird theme. To explain his idea, he drew this sketch:

Neat, huh? But that was just the beginning of a long journey.

Hijuyo: :O That… that’s beautiful! :,)
Cpt Crawfish: WAIT! THERE’S MOAR!!

Behind the scenes of Skullduggery Island: The Phoenix Warbird, part 2

On Skullduggery Island, players start with a junky old sloop, and earn doubloons to buy bigger and better boats. Early on, the Poptropica creators knew they wanted the most powerful ship to have an animal theme.

Even so, there were still dozens and dozens of smaller decisions to make. Should the boat look realistic or fantastical? How big should it be? Should it be scary?

To explore the possibilities, the designers made a few more sketches.

After another round of discussion (okay, arguments), the creators settled on a direction and set to work on the final version.

Hijuyo: YEYYYY!!! So like, were you named after a boat?
Cpt Crawfish: Named after a boat? Wut? NO WAI! I was named after the best fish in the sea – crawfish tastes delicious, did you know that?
Hijuyo: Are you suggesting that we eat you? O:
Cpt Crawfish: Waiiiiit… wha…??

(Captain Crawfish disappears as a giant crowd engulfs all around him and noms.)

Cpt Crawfish: NO!!! THAT’S MY PEGLEG, YOU FOOL! DON’T EAT THAT… AHHHH!

Skullduggery Island

As you already know…

Cool Wing

Skull Duggery is out! They posted a video with the announcement as well so…..

On another note, I would like to inform all of the PHF members/mods that some arguing, insulting, content and wording is getting out of hand. I know this is not my place to do this, but I’m not kidding. Stop arguing as much ( I am not mentioning any ANY names), no swearing, no insulting, just stop. As a mod, I was slacking on the job, but lately I’ve been closing to many threads. No more Kthnxbai when somebody leaves, no TL;DR on long posts, or just plain rudeness.

Sorry for posting that part without permission CK/Hijuyo but I felt it needed to be posted.

NOW GO PLAY SKULL DUGGERY AND GET SOME OF THOSE DAUBLOONNNNNS!!!

You’d better hope not. Of all the terrors you’ll encounter on the high seas of Skullduggery Island, none will send a chill down your mizzenmast quite like Captain Crawfish’s ship. If you happen upon this vessel in open water, you’re liable to be sunk — that is, unless you you earn enough doubloons to buy this bird-like warship I’ve been hearing so much about lately…

Ha! I’d like to see you try. Bring it on — tomorrow.

( Daaaaang, Hijuyo edited my post quick. 😦 )
TEEHEE xD

OK, so the Creators have made a few changes to their blog, the PCB (Poptropica Creators’ Blog).

  1. New Options to ‘Share’ PCB Posts, and Labels
    The Creators can be sooo conceited..."one and only"..psh...

    The Creators added  a couple of things below their post. There’s the new ‘Share’ bar, where you can choose to share the PCB post on Twitter, Facepalm, Myspace (Who brought Myspace from the dead? O_O), StumbleUpon, Google, or even via your email, and that’s just to name a few. Clicking the “more” link, you will be able to post it to a number of other sites.

    Another coolio thing the Creators added were “Labels”, similar to the “Tags” option in WordPress. Apparently the Creators went back and for a few pages of posts added labels. Wowzers, tedious work.

  2. New PCB “Skullduggery” Poll
    Being rich? You're kidding, right Creators?

    They’ve also added a new sidebar poll, which asks the question “What are you looking forward to the most about Skullduggery Island?” (I think they could have better phrased that question..)

And on another note…GAZEK IS BACK!!!

Well…sorta. He’s posted a comment here , saying he’s quit Poptropica and the PHB. He’s also changed his name to “Xaiio” (o_O IKR? :P) and has a new blog here. He’s also said that his main interests now are song writing, and playing the guitar. We’ll miss, ya bud. 😉

Skullduggery Island

Shiver Me Timbers!

Skullduggery Island will be available for non-members this Thurs, June 17, 2010!

Arrrrr, be yer blimp not flying or yer rocket rusty? You got no way to get around? Well how ’bout a ship from the island of Skullduggery? If you can manage enough loot…

You’ve got to work your way up in this world. One day, you’re a lowly deckhand, sailing on a ratty old sloop and taking orders from a nasty old sea captain. But if you’ve got the right stuff — if you can defeat pirates and sea monsters, and outwit crooked traders to make your fortune — you just might take become a nasty old sea captain yourself. Only then can you take the reins of a mighty ship… like some of the ones below!

Of course, there are even bigger and better ships out there, if you can find them.
Poptropica’s Skullduggery Island will be available to everyone this Thursday!

Check out all those boats! Be any of them to your liking?
[Warning: Spoiler] The names of the ships are, from left to right:
  • The Old Raft
  • Jimmy Rigger
  • Carabelle
  • Sea Sultan
  • The Koi
  • Steaming Fury

Of course, Like Cap’n Crawfish said, there is a bigger ship out there, and it name be the Pheonix Warbird!

Captain on Deck!

We have a help guide for Skullduggery Island written by Zey-Shomi here. Last but not least (wow this is a looong post) there is a new PCB poll about Skullduggery! 😮

What are you looking forward to most about Skullduggery?

  • Battling Pirates and Sea Monsters!
  • Getting Rich!
  • Becoming the captain of my own ship!
  • All of the above!

So far “All of the above” is way winning. That’s all for this post! xD

Green Boa… AWAY! *flies away into clouds*
