The Final Poptropica Worlds Mystery Item Leak!

LJ

Hello, everyone!

Lucky Joker here sharing the final Poptropica Worlds prerelease mystery item leak. I say prerelease because it’s fair to assume that there’ll be more item leaks like this in the future (postrelease). Anyway, Skinny Moon posted this image today of another item we’ll be seeing in Poptropica Worlds:

This looks like it could be a number of things! As far as furniture items go, this looks like some kind of armoire we could store our belongings in, or even an arcade cabinet where we could play a few mini games (wouldn’t that be cool?).

However, if we’re talking Crisis Caverns, this looks like it could either be a pedestal for an offering or some sort of throne (theory on this below) – both of which would most likely be made of stone if you notice the blocky shape.

If you recall from a few years ago, you’ll remember the Mole King, who was thought to be a character for an underground-themed island.

The Mole King

Sadly he was scrapped, but if it is, in fact, a throne, could we be seeing the Mole King in Crisis Caverns Island? Although his (possible) throne doesn’t look the same as before, the Mole King having involvement with Crisis Caverns doesn’t sound too far-fetched, am I right? What do you guys think?

With this third sneak peek given, it seems that Poptropica Worlds is just around the corner at this point and I’m super excited about it. What do you think the mystery item is? Sound off your ideas in the comments section.

That’s all for now, thanks for reading!

A Smashing Poptropica Worlds Mystery Item Leak!

LJ

Hello, everyone!

Lucky Joker here sharing another Poptropica Worlds mystery item leak. Skinny Moon posted this image today of an item we’ll be seeing in Poptropica Worlds:

Poptropica Worlds leaked item 2

Again, it’s just a silhouette, but it’s clearly a lot rounder than the first item leak we saw last week.

To me, it looks like some sort of boulder or some type of egg. Perhaps it’s a furniture item? Or maybe it’s an island item we’ll be seeing down in the rocky mines of Crisis Caverns Island, which we caught a glimpse of from the biggest sneak peek of Poptropica Worlds that the Creators had given us earlier.

Also, Skinny Moon has confirmed via this tweet below that, while the Creators will continue to blog for Worlds, they’ll be moving from away Blogger (the blog-publishing service they’ve been using all these years) to another service that’ll give more options for the blog’s design:

It isn’t the biggest news, but it’s definitely something else to look forward to!

Anyway, what do you think the mystery object is? Let us know down in the comments section!

A Poptropica Worlds Mystery Item Leak!

LJ

Hello, everyone!

It’s Lucky Joker and today I’ll be sharing a minor Poptropica Worlds sneak peek with you all! Just today on the Creators’ Blog, Skinny Moon posted an image of a mystery item we’ll be seeing in Poptropica Worlds.

Well… it’s actually just a silhouette and we’re supposed to guess what is. This isn’t the biggest sneak peak the Creators have given us, but it is something and I really like the idea of having a guessing game of sorts.

To me, it looks like some sort of belt, possibly for utilities/tools that may come in handy in your exploration of Crisis Caverns, which featured in the last big Poptropica Worlds sneak preview. Or perhaps it’s headgear for when you’re down in the mines?

Although this sneak peek isn’t the most exciting, there is something else of interest: Skinny Moon’s new avatar, depicted at the bottom of her blog post! Her character looks more three-dimensional, a characteristic of the art style we’ve been seeing of the new Worlds avatars. She also promises that there are more sneak peeks to come.

A Whole New World: A Whole New Avatar

Spotted Dragon

Hey everyone, Spotted Dragon here with overused puns as usual! Believe me, I know that Aladdin has been referenced way too much when we talk about Poptropica Worlds around here, but the title was just waiting to be used.

Anyway, the PHB isn’t the only thing around here with a new look! 😀

changing avatar

The Creators provided us with a new post earlier today explaining how our Poptropicans’ looks will be changing when Poptropica Worlds rolls around. While we already saw the avatar’s new look in the trailer, this post does explain it a bit more clearly.

new avatar look

See what I mean? We already knew that our characters would be earning themselves some hands and shoes, but it looks like their whole looks will be more defined.

Some key changes:

  • Growth spurts (taller avatars – the legs are more proportional)
  • Joints (including more realistic movement, presumably)
  • Feet (with shoes)
  • Hands (of course! and Oliver is wearing a wristwatch – suggesting more customization options in that area)

Since Unity and Spine will be used when making Poptropica Worlds, our Poptropicans will supposedly be much more customizable.

As seen in the image above, the 4-fingered hands will have 4 different positions, of which will change depending on the movement of your character. This will hopefully lead to nicer looking animation, like the running that’s shown.

Though there are some conflicting opinions on all this change, there is no denying that the announcement of hands has left everyone on YouTube excited in one way or another.

Poptropica Worlds has been controversial lately, but I have to say I am trying to stay optimistic. I like that the art style is still clearly “Poptropica” even though more detail has been added. I’m hoping this improvement in art reflects the other “improvements” and changes being made.

While this is it for now, the Creators have promised more sneak peeks into Poptropica Worlds in the next few weeks! Let’s hope the update comes out as scheduled this time, right? 😉

Poptropica Worlds: Picture Previews

Happy Lobster

Hey there, Poptropicans!

It’s Happy Lobster, and I’ve got some exciting new sneak peeks of Poptropica Worlds, which is coming out this spring (for the Northern Hemisphere, and autumn for the Southern Hemisphere).

If you click on the link directly above, there will be a video trailer for Poptropica Worlds, in which you’ll see a few Poptropicans (most recognisably Dr. Lange), but the art style is more detailed than the original Poptropica’s characters – which clearly is the style that will be used in the upcoming Pop Worlds.

But recently, there have been a few more images of these intriguing new Poptropicans, from the Poptropica App descriptions in iTunes and Google Play! (Credit to Perfect Flyer for this discovery!)

Poptropica
Poptropica’s Mysteries
Customization
50+ islands
1000+ Store items
Challenge Your Friends

From these previews, there are a couple of things to take note of:

  • Five or more new islands not on the original Poptropica will be in Pop Worlds (since there are currently 46 islands in Poptropica, not counting individual episodes, and the bottom-leftmost picture states that there will be 50+ islands in Poptropica Worlds). However, we might not see all of these 50+ islands immediately, answered by Skinny Moon in a somewhat recent Q&A.

  • More Store cards will be in the Poptropica Worlds Store. Since there have been less than 1000 Store cards over Poptropica’s history, still existent or not, in-game or app-exclusive, this much is quite likely (and there are costumes in some of the previews that have never been seen before). However, it seems marginally unlikely that there will be 1000+ Store items at once in the Store to collect, so possibly that picture with Dr. Hare’s statement includes more than just Store items, or there are more app-exclusive costumes in the App included with the 1000+.

That isn’t all, though. The two app sites list some features about Poptropica Worlds:

– Explore the virtual world of Poptropica and its 20 islands!
– You’re the Hero! Solve 1000+ mysteries!
– Customize your hero from head to toe with 1000+ themed outfits!
– Collect items from your favorite heroes!
– Multiplayer game where you can meet and chat with your friends! Join a community of more than 10M players.
– Create your own island!
– Free to play, with in-app purchases available for more customization!

So, most of these we already know, with the old Poptropica. But it’s that penultimate point which is interesting – that we can create our own island. Most likely it’s just our own unique home island (remember that poll about what house we wanted in Poptropica Worlds?). But who knows what might happen in the future – it could mean something else.

Also, to that top point – the last time Poptropica (the old version) had 20 islands was back in 2011 – so it’s probably a typo. But going back to what Skinny Moon hinted, not all islands may be there at once in Poptropica Worlds.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this tour through some new and revealing Poptropica Worlds articles! I’ll see you soon – stay tuned on the PHB for more upcoming Poptropica Worlds news!
