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.

BINARY BARD

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*

Well, looks like Steamworks Island isn’t far away! With all the updates talking about the Hub, it seems like a lot of Steamworks Island revolves around it. Anywho, check out the Cr3@t0Rz latest post:

I’m out, guys.

Well guys, it’s been a long, long, good run. I’m sorry to say this, but I’m leaving the Poptropica Creators Blog. I feel as if if I’m not needed or appreciated, especially since yesterday Dr. Hare and the Widow kept making fun of me. I mean, what’s so wrong about liking to wear a Jester outfit? It’s not like I’m prancing around in a pink tutu like Dr. Hare. (Yes, I saw Hare. …And let’s just say my vision isn’t 20/20 anymore.) Besides, I’m better off committing interstellar felonies, like stealing princesses (fun fun fun!), attacking innocent people, you know, that type of thing. So, asta la vista.

THE BINARY BARD

I kid, I kid. The real post is:

The Hub started life as all of Poptropica does, as a simple idea and a sketch. Before long, we take that idea and turn it into reality. But did you know how many different revisions a single scene takes before it gets the Poptropica stamp of approval?

At first glance, this might look like a well developed scene.

But look a little more closely. Why is almost everything the same color? Why does it all look so flat? And what the heck is that blue thing on the right, anyway?

No, the Hub isn’t done yet. Not even close.
