Hey Poptropicans!

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we here at the PHB would like to wish you a happy Thanksgiving and thank you for being part of the Poptropica community! 😀 But there’s more than turkey on the platter today – check out the latest helping of Poptropica news below.

Along with the thankful festivities comes Black Friday, a day characterized by long lines and shopping deals – and according to this tweeted pic, it’s coming to Poptropica! What exactly that means remains to be seen. Deals on Pop merch, membership, or Store items bought with credits? We’ll find out soon!

To get a peek at what else is coming to Poptropica, check out the PHB’s Daily Pop Sneak Peek Archive – just updated for the month of November! A few pics seem to indicate that some renovation is underway for Home Island’s Shop and – Adventurers’ Club? Could be the common room, which is currently different on mobile and online.

Beached: Your ship has come in.

Trading Post: Exotic treasures from all around the world.

Join the Club: Looking for adventure? Look no further.

There’s also been some trickery going on with the Phantom gold card from the Store – the slider to adjust how transparent you appear recently made a subtle disappearance! Now there’s only one mid-range opacity level you can play with. Poof.

If you’ve logged into Poptropica recently, you may have seen a few new ads. There’s the SuperChargers ad mentioned in the last post, but it’s not the only one. On Mystery of the Map Island, watch the video for Disney Infinity 3.0 to get the Disney Infinity Gear!

Also, there’s a View Master ad on Timmy Failure Island with a room you can enter. Go in and claim your 360 Teleporter Power and Island Warper Power! Press space bar to activate their special effects. (Thanks to Hyper Gamer for the tip!)

🦃 Happy Thanksgiving, Poptropicans! 🦃
Even if you’re not celebrating today – we’re thankful for you. 🙂

Dogs on the scent, pumpkins for all, and the return of Cosmoe!

What’s popping, Poptropicans? Blake here, with some Poptropica news. First off, the Creators have posted a picture on the blog of a very familiar Poptropica character being chased by what appears to be a K9 officer…

Yes, this dog happens to be chasing Oliver, from the Poptropica graphic novel! Could some of the Mystery of the Map characters be making an appearance in Escape from Pelican Rock? To me, there’s a small chance, since it was previously teased that Dr. Hare could be in the Island as well. But, then again, they may very well not be.

Second of all, perhaps to celebrate the recent release of the Peanuts Movie (or not, they didn’t say), the Creators have made Great Pumpkin Island available for all! How long this will last is unknown as of now, but non-members can now once again get their fill of Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and the gang!

Charlie has eyes on the back of his head.

Finally, the ad for Galactic Hot Dogs is now back on Main Street! Could this mark the return of the heroes of GHD for a second shot at making a (hopefully better) Island? Only time will tell. In any case, you can read more about this ad which has appeared before in this PHB post. Customize costumes, shoot at Jacks, and talk to the GHD characters!

Anyway, that’s all for now! Stay popping, Poptropicans, and don’t forget, things are heating up over at my webseries, stupidninjas! We’re around halfway through the season now, and new episodes come out every Tuesday, with some surprise releases popping up really whenever I feel like it. Come check it out, and if you like what you see, stay! I’d be happy to have you!

Disturbing Drafts: The Conceptioning

October 14, 2015November 3, 2015 gianthawkpoptropica

Greetings Hawk-tropicans! This is Giant Hawk speaking, and I’ve got some spooky news for all of you.

Over the course of the past few days, the Poptropica Creators have been releasing early concept sheets from some of their eeriest islands on their Twitter. So let us journey together, if you dare, into the world of the initial and the uncanny…

Our first concept art is from the early stages of Vampire’s Curse. And as someone who loves the creepy architecture of this island, I must say – this sheet is pretty great! I find it interesting, however, that it is listed as Dracula’s castle…

Our next piece hails from Ghost Story, and appears to be a preliminary representation of Prisoner 24601’s jail cell. Maybe it’s just the color and shading, but I think this is my favorite of these concept pieces. The eerie message is a nice touch too.

Next, here is an early sketch from Monster Carnival. Clearly, what we’re seeing here is some original character models for the Monster Duck Hunt Carnie. I do like his current form the best, but seeing these other possible appearances of this creature is fascinating. Which form is your favorite? Comment below with your opinion!

Now here’s a little something extra for you! Here we have some concept art from Great Pumpkin, which depicts the early days of a few of this island’s mini-games. To be specific, we have ‘Find the Biggest Pumpkin’, which takes up most of this art, and ‘Apple Bobbing’. I do love both of these games, so it does intrigue me to see their humble beginnings.

On Halloween, the Creators tweeted several sketches from the spooky-themed islands of Vampire’s Curse, Great Pumpkin, Ghost Story, and Monster Carnival respectively.

So there we go! Whether or not the Creators decide to post any more of these (update: they have, and they’ve been added to this post) I must say they are all visual treats. But most importantly, they help us fans peer into the making of these islands and assist us in really beginning to appreciate the work that goes into each one. And for that alone, I sincerely believe that they are worth our viewing time.

Until next time…

Coming up next: Prison Break Island?

October 6, 2015October 6, 2015 HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

Big news! Just before the release of Timmy Failure Island for non-members, I have a tidbit of info concerning the next island – now officially Prison Break Island!

It hasn’t been formally announced, but I found it in the files, along with some a list of the items on the island. I’m going to save some details for the Behind-the-Scenes & Theory, but here’s a few pictures of the preliminary Main Street:

I’m excited for this island – it looks fresh and somewhat different from the regular Poptropica tone. In fact, from the Daily Pops that have been released, it reminds me of Our Discovery Island in the art direction! Check out more sneak peeks in the PHB’s Prison Break Island post category!

The Watchtower: Two riders were approaching, and the wind began to howl.

Spotlight: One time you may not want to be center stage.

Mise En Place: We’ve got mouths to feed.

The Space Between: The question is, can you slip through the cracks?

From a Distance: Something new is on the horizon.

TAFN.

Hey Poptropicans!

Something new is on the horizon – and it’s more than just a caption stolen from the Daily Pop. In addition to the prison-themed island sneak peeks we’ve looked at before, September wraps up with even more glimpses of what’s to come, including what appears to be something like Alcatraz Island (a prison on an island) in San Francisco (noting the bridge), further confirming BT’s theory about the setting of this upcoming island. See our Daily Pop Archive for more sneak peeks!

No news yet on when the island is releasing, but stay updated with the PHB as we find out!

Next, there’s a new Monster High ad on Main Streets such as Early Poptropica! This one contains two videos. The left video gives you Catty’s Show Power (press spacebar to watch a few Monster High characters rocking out on a stage), and the video on the right awards a large-winged Luna Costume.

Or, if you’re a guy, you might find a Playmation Avengers ad instead. Watch the video to get your own Repulsor Blaster! (Thanks to Hyper Gamer for the tip and picture.)
