Outfit of the Weak… 😪

We’re kicking off our new PHB blogging style with a fun Outfit of the Week Weak: the Burnt Out Big Boy! Here’s how you can dress up like this sleep-deprived sucker:

  • Dye your skin tone a sickly yellowish shade with the Colorizer on Home Island.
  • Perk up a little with glasses from the resource manager on the fourth floor of Mocktropica Island HQ. You still gotta look like you’re a little alive, at least.
  • Down in the basement of Mocktropica HQ, grab the “SLEEP” eye mask and the sweaty sweatpants from one of the overworked developers.
  • Because you’ve still got a little decency even though you’re barely pulling it together tbh, put on a dress shirt from the Home Island clothing generator.
  • Try on a cuddly handheld toy like the Dr. Hare Plushy. Not pictured, but at least we have the decency to tell you so, unlike a certain mention of a Rastafarian beanie we saw somewhere…

Rumor has it this is what the average Poptropica Creator probably looks like…

Srsly, is blogging even relevant anymore? 🤔

Yo Poptropicans, the PHB team’s been thinking…

Blogging is becoming overrated. Even the Poptropica Creators hardly do it anymore. So we’re going to take a cue from them and try out some new things around here.

We’ve been hard at work 💪 on some new posts inspired by the Creators’ Blog and Twitter feed, and we think you’ll like them. Stay tuned.

Poptropica Portfolio

Poptropica Portfolio: Mitch Krpata

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, let’s dive into another Poptropica Portfolio.

Like the last portfolio we showcased, this one features copywriting work, this time from former senior story developer and narrative designer Mitch Krpata, also known as the voice of Captain Crawfish—writer of Poptropica books, blogs, islands, and more.

Soon after he was let go by Poptropica, Mitch decided to compile a portfolio of his written work with the game he’s worked with for the past decade. Though the artwork is not his, the visuals help bring his words to life—as you can see below.

You can view the complete portfolio in this Google presentation. The slideshow covers his graphic novels, dialogue, UX/UI elements, titles and brand names, marketing, and walkthrough videos—all for Poptropica, but likely to expand over time as he pursues other projects.

In a blog post, Mitch says this of his work with Poptropica:

Bit odd to look back and see how much of my life’s work has been tied up in this one property. It’s a source of pride, because few people have the opportunity to write for such a wide, enduring audience, and also sobering, because I realize how many creative avenues have gone unexplored.

Thanks, Mitch, for everything you’ve done for Poptropica over the years! Your stories and good wit have brought a lot of life to the world of Poptropica that people will continue to enjoy in the years to come. Sail on, Captain Crawfish.

If you liked Mitch Krpata’s portfolio, be sure to also check out the portfolio of Jessica Devine (Skinny Moon), another copywriter we’ve featured here. If you’re into art, we recommend checking out the portfolios of other Poptropica artists as well: Tyson Burnham, Kyle Miller, Geoff Hassing, Nate Greenwall, Chris Goodwin, Abraham Evensen Tena, Jordan Leary, Lance Fry, Nasan Hardcastle, and Ashley Lange.

Hope you enjoyed this portfolio! Stay awesome, Poptropicans. ☠️
