Danger! Will Robinson! Extreme danger! You have forgotten to open the steam vent!

When the machine exploded, the parts fell into Poptropica, creating a ‘Steamworks island’ where metal, machines, and a mysterious adventure awaits you!

The creators are revealing it!!!

It’s the official Steamworks Island trailer!

Steamworks Island is coming very soon!

I have nothing to say but… COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! ~Green Boa

Hijuyo reporting:

Don’t know who to trust in this island shrouded with mystery? Poptropica Creator Binary Bard wondered the same thing, and investigated (or poked) a strange sprocket.

Steamworks robot: Friend or foe?

All right, so the question is: If you come across a strange robot lying dormant in a wasteland, should you poke it? 9 times out of 10, it’s probably not a good idea. But I poked this one. It unfurled some crazy robot arms.

Then the visor over its face started to slide upward. I braced myself for its evil mechanical visage.

Well, not bad so far…

Look at that! He’s smiling. Maybe we’re going to get along.

A little shy, but definitely friendly. This is one robot you’ll want to get to know as a friend!

The mystery of the thing that Binary Bard found on Steamworks Island continues. We found out one thing: it moves!! :O

A Steamworks Island mystery: It moves!

Imagine my surprise when I came across a strange-looking machine on Steamworks Island. The place is full of old gears and pulleys and things, but most of it is rusted out and hasn’t been used for years. This one looked a little different — different enough to pique my curiosity.

I don’t know what you do when you’re in an unfamiliar place and you come across some strange being that’s curled up in a defensive position, but I know what I do: I poke it. So that’s what I did.

Whoa! It moved. And there were a lot more suprises in store.

It looks like it is called a “sprocket” based on the picture title. Wonder what it does, and if it helps us. Guess we’ll find out soon enough. This is Shaggy Tornado signing off!  *salutes smartly*

Steamworks Island

Finally the Hub is (almost) finished!!

After a long, hard week of unfinished Hub pics, it is almost complete!! See here:

The Hub of the universe

We’ve done a lot of detail work on the Hub for Steamworks Island. Before we can call it done, we’ve got to give it one more pass to make sure it’s got character.

Ahh… that’s the stuff. The Hub looks old, weathered, and worn. It looks like it was once a city on a hill. Now, it’s grungy and decayed. And dangerous.

There’s lots more to see and do on Steamworks Island, and we’ll be showing you more soon. In the meantime, maybe we can all try to figure out what that blue thing is doing.

BINARY BARD

I wonder what does that blue thing do? I guess we’ll all find out when Steamworks is released! See ya!

*runs off to see what the blue thing does*

Details, I detest them

Details, details…

The Hub on Steamworks Island continues to evolve. Now, all of the elements are colored in, and we’ve added some detail to try to tell the story of the island.

This version of the Hub is overgrown with vines and weeds. The wobbly angles of its structure are making it look like the whole thing could topple at any moment. And, of course, there’s now a sign telling everybody where they are.

Almost done!

On another note~ I’ll be on vacation for 3 weeks and I will be unable to post. So I notified Hijuyo telling her that I would take Thursday’s post.
