Virus Hunter Island – Page 6 – 🏝 Poptropica Help Blog 🗺

Journey to the center of Carl

Hey there!

This week has given us some new looks at Virus Hunter Island and the currently unnamed battle bot island (possibly Mocktropica Island). First off we got a look at a marvelous hero preparing to save Poptropica from the evil lurking within (literally).

Later, we were able to confirm that this was in fact a screen shot from… wait for it… the trailer for Virus Hunter which you can view below.

At the end we get a statement that Poptropica is “now in sound” which seems to confirm that not only this island will be released in sound, but that all of the previous islands can be looking for a full sound makeover in the possibly not so distant future.

The Daily Pop has also offered up some previews at what we can expect from this upcoming battle bot adventure.

The first preview appears to show a bot in action and the second appears to show something that could possibly be a battle arena surrounded by on watching battle bots. I am getting very, very excited about how these battle bots are going to fit into a story. Is it just me, or are these journeys inside of bodies and giant battling robots reminding you of Jimmy Neutron too?

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?

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…

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?

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

Virus Hunter Island

Virus Hunter Island confirmed

May 16, 2013May 16, 2013 AW

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).

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!

A Contagious Prediction

April 30, 2013May 2, 2013 AW

Hey, everyone; it’s me again! I’m sure when you’re flipping through the sneak peeks on the Daily Pop, all you’re seeing is stomachs, livers, and all sorts of stuff inside the body. But occasionally you see something like this:

This is the kind of stuff that tells you all about an island. So now stay tuned while I make a short list of…

Angry Wing’s Bold Predictions!

There is a man named Joe Stockman
Joe lives on Virus Hunter Island (the cards say so)
He won a trip abroad (travel rating card) and (You Won! envelope)
On his trip abroad, he acquired a foreign disease
It is our job to cure that disease
The common room could be Bob’s Place Barbeque (coupon)
Lastly, maybe the disease isn’t a real disease… what if it’s… nanobots?

And we do know what Joe Stockman’s house looks like:

Notice the caption, “A Spartan existence for an average Joe.” Clever wordplay, Creators… Clever Wordplay.

Then there are the character drawings by Nasan Hardcastle.

Now that we know there’s a Video Store Clerk, we can connect that to this Sneak Peek.

By the way, Green Square is a reference to Redbox, and “Bust the Block” is a reference to Blockbuster.

Soooo…

Let the dramatic music play!

(We’ll check my predictions after the island is released.)

Goodbye everyone! *takes a bow*

A Creator’s Tribute?

April 8, 2013April 20, 2013 AW

In the U.S., it’s been announced that the United States Postal Service is going to quit delivering on Saturdays to save money. It seems the Creators have a response for that; they have a response for everything.
