PHB Sneak Peeks, Sneak Peeks, Steamworks Island

Uhhh, where’s the on switch?

The creators have confirmed a new island, but not its name. Some kind of machinery island, Mad Machine? Silly Structure? Extra-strange tool island?? O___O

New island sneak peek week!

Many of you have noticed that there is a new Poptropica island in the works. We’ve decided to share a few sneak peeks of this mysterious, mechanical island.

You’ll need a few gadgets to get past some tricky puzzles and wacky, wild monsters — and I’m not talking about your dad’s pocket knife.

Here are a couple of gizmos that you won’t find in your home toolbox. One of these will help you on your quest to victory, cheering fans, and instant popularity…well, at least victory.

“Multi Tool”? Hmm, what do you think it does?

Come back all week for more sneak peeks. Then, on Friday, we’ll announce the name of the new island. You’ll get it here first, so keep those eyeballs glued to the blog for more exciting peeks.

[CODERKID:

Hello guuuyyys! 😀 I’m here to save the Creators the trouble of posting on Friday…the new island is called “Steamworks”. Pretty spiffy name, eh?

The tools (yes I do notice that the font is blue) seem to be normal tools melded all together. -_o The multi tool looks like a drill, scissors and hair cutting thingamajigs. Number 2 seems to be a wrench, pressure meter and funnel on a wheel. O_o I have no idea what on earth, poptropica or pewter moon these tools will do, or why you will need them.

Sneak Peeks, Web Development

Closing the book, but opening a new page

Poptropica’s Facebook fan club, one of our resources for Poptropica sneak peeks and updates, will be closing. This message was left on their chat wall:

Well, fans, at the end of this week, we’re closing up shop here on the Poptropica Facebook page. The good news: You can continue to get sneak peeks and breaking news over at the official Poptropica blog (http://blog.poptropica.com)! And keep an eye out for one more special treat for our Facebook fans before we go.

There’s also a new Froot Loops quest for younger Poptropicans, on Main Street (see picture below). For older players, you’ll be playing Monster High.

Creepy, or cool? Check out this costume sneak peek from the Creators’ Blog:

In other news…

EVEN NEWER PCB POST! :O

And you thought green vegetables were scary…

Here’s a sneak peek at some creepy beasts that might be appearing on a future Poptropica island. Which one do you think is scarier? Vote in our poll on the sidebar!

Plant monster #1

Plant monster #2

I’m definitely voting for #2. What about you guys? Also, if this is for “Robot” island or whatever, than why is the plant not…techy? Maybe this is from another island, and not “Robot” island? :O

And for your information, Captain Clueless, I eat my vegetables, thank you very much.



NEW PCB POST!

Sneak Peek of a Rusty Robot

I received special instruction to reveal to you this mysterious image. Be wise. With this small piece of information you could save the future of Poptropica. Your mission, for now, is to wait patiently until further notice.

And from the Official Poptropica Facebook page…


What’s this? It seems there’s another new Poptropica island in the works!

Well, these are nice changes! Seems like the next island will be called “Rusty Robot” island. This island actually seems promising, so I feel more inclined to play it than the last three islands – Reality TV, Myth, Skullduggery.

Looking at the PCB post, the first oddities are on the Poptropican – it has a watch and shoes! On the PHF Thread for it, a few members reported the Creators changing the image – removing the shoes, watch, and line underneath the Poptropican.

Before
After   

However, right now it appears to have gone back to what was originally posted. O_O

In the second sneak peek from Facebook, we seek a giant cog-like structure with platforms on it. It seems like perhaps someone has shut The Hub down – and maybe we have to restart it? Perhaps in this island the  wildlife is completely composed of bio-tech like organisms…? What do you think?

Coskit: Also, remember that old PCB post with the sketches of that “Mechanical” Island that we couldn’t make head or tail of? (https://poptropica.wordpress.com/2010/02/06/full-of-hot-air/) It seems that those sketches are linked to these posts. Just in time, too. I’m getting bored with Skullduggery. 😉 (Jk, jk….)

Let us know what you think in the comments!

Closing question: Would you like a section of the PHF that allowed you to have your own pet from Poptropica, complete with upgrades and customizations?

C0D3Rk1D Out!

Skullduggery Island, Sneak Peeks

The PHF is currently experiencing some difficulties. If you’d like to help, click here.

OMGSKULLDUGGERYWTFBBQ!!!

Straight from the pirate’s mouth (i so funnae):

Skullduggery Island launch dates announced!


Secret’s out: Skullduggery Island will open to the public on June 17. Members can cast their sails beginning May 20!
I’d be more excited if I didn’t expect everyone to turn their cannons on me the first chance they get…

See you on the high seas of SkullDuggery, mates. =D

If you signed up for the island alert, you should have received an e-mail from [email protected] [Poptropica Creators] telling you about the release dates for Skullduggery Island. Here’s the [awesome] description:

Embark on a new adventure to save Skullduggery Island from the wicked Captain Crawfish. Once a thriving port, the island is at the mercy of pirates who steal its goods and prevent merchants from trading there. In order to restore the island, you and your crew will have to defeat the pirates and assemble the pieces of a hidden treasure map.

And THAT’S why you shouldn’t pay US$2.99 just to watch a video. ^_^ An official (and better) Skullduggery Island trailer is now available to those who waited for it:

^In the official Skullduggery Island trailer above, you may have noticed that you’ll be steering your own ship similar to the way you flew your rocket on Astro-Knights Island. The seas and lands you’ll be exploring look something like this bird’s-eye view:

Oh and this also appeared on the Poptropica Facebook page…

For our Facebook friends, a look at a very early sketch for Skullduggery Island. Wait until you see the final version!
And don’t forget to embark on a trip to count your lucky stars: located on the map, you could win a slim chance of getting an EARLY ACCESS SNEAK PEAK OF SKULLDUGGERY ISLAND! Have fun. 😀 ~ Hyper Star/Athena
Bonus Items, PHB Sneak Peeks, Skullduggery Island, Wallpapers

The pirate life’s for me!

Hello Poptropicans! Recently, a trailer for the soon-to-be-released Skullduggery Island was released to members only! Of course, it would only be fair if all could witness a sneak peek of one of the most swashbuckling islands yet! Ladies and GentleMannes, I present to you the spectacle that is a preview of the adventures you will have on Skullduggery Island (courtesy of shaned46):

Notice the pirate-y, jolly tunes playing in the background. Wouldn’t it be just awesome if that could play in the background while you explore the island? *winkwinknudgenudge*

The other special item that was given to members was an exclusive Skullduggery Pirate costume. Here’s a picture of me in it.

Yarr har fiddle dee dee bein-- NO, SHUT UP!

More on Skullduggery, you can now see it conveniently placed on the Map, of course with a “COMING SOON.” It sure does look menacing!

"You sure you want t'sail up THAR, Captain?"

Finally, a new wallpaper was released by the Poptropica Creators. I would recommend you replace your current desktop background with this new one in order to, as the kids might say it, “stay hip with the crowd, yo.” At least, that’s what I hear…

Go to http://blog.poptropica.com/2010/05/new-wallpaper.html to download this "psychedelic" and "groovy" background.

Well, that’s about it! I hope you had an awesome week, and we here at the PHB hope you also have a Happy Mothers’ Day this weekend!  Make sure to let her know your gratitude and appreciation for everything she has done for you, no matter how great or minute.

Oh yeah, thanks to Cheerful Panda/Aphrodite who helped me with this picture by obviously posing as the mom. 😀 Click here for a link to Giant Penguin’s Poptropica Blog, a blog that she works on.
