Hey guys, my name is Brave Tomato, and I’m here with a quick post about today’s update to the Creator’s Blog!

In the wake of long-time Poptropicans complaining about not getting any of the newly-increased credit amounts for playing an island they already played, they answered! The latest post by Skinny Moon, in a nutshell, is best described by this picture:

Now, players who have replayed Poptropican islands get to join the first-time island players in the money pile as there is now a bonus for replaying a Poptropica island (but only once)! Now, this is how the island credit reward system works:

First time finish (Island of the Month): 500 Credits

First time finish (any other island): 300 Credits

One replay (Island of the Month): 300 Credits

One replay (any other island): 100 credits

This month, the islands of the month are Mystery of the Map and Virus Hunter Island, so if you want the extra credits, play either of those, whether it would be for the first time or as a replay! On the PHB, you can find the MotM Guide here, and the Virus Hunter guide here.

Once again, I’d like to acknowledge that in the postscript, Skinny Moon made a shout out to this very blog, the Poptropica Help Blog, once again, as well as popular Poptropica YouTuber Thinknoodles. However, this time around, it’s with a disclaimer-y touch.

“Our friends Thinknoodles and the Poptropica Help Blog also have lots of Poptropica walkthroughs (but note that we haven’t wanted them all).”

I private messaged Skinny Moon asking about this statement, and she explained to me that she had to do this when talking about other people’s walkthroughs since they are not personally responsible in case there’s anything inappropriate or any misdirection within the walkthroughs. We assure you our walkthroughs are trustworthy though. 😛

Skinny Moon also dropped us some comments in our earlier post about IOTM, letting other Poptropica bloggers and content creators know that if you’d like her to notice your work, you should tweet her @Poptropica!

So now that island finishers can join in the fun, what do you think? Was it a smart move, or are the Creators just cashing in to the fans? And also, will the Creator’s do a ninth birthday event this year? Share your thoughts in the comments!

BT out! 

Hoi, I’m Koi.

Being in the Poptropica universe since 2008, I’ve had plenty of island ideas. Many I don’t remember, but a few have always stuck with me. Today I’m going to be sharing them! 🙂

Court Calamity

Plot: In France, the town of Loyar – Tyler Tortsin has just been accused of a crime, a good old cliché bank-robbery. He promises to pay you in a gold medallion and 150 credits – if you can prove his innocence. But… is he?

Objective: Explore the town, interrogate his family, his friends, his acquaintances, Loyar’s citizens – and hope you can give something good to Judge Tudy.

Plot-twist: Judge Tudy is actually Gillian Guiltman, the criminal herself!

Ideas: Here are Judge Tudy’s and Gillian’s quick, quick concepts!

I didn’t want to go too bold with their outfits, because one’s just a judge and the others just a girl who knows how to rob banks. (Not necessarily get away with it, though.) 😉

PoptropiKart Island

Plot: Poptropica’s favorite sport besides the Poptropolis Games are clearly PoptropiKart Racing! When Lester Leadlap gets into an accident and can’t compete, it’s you who must fill his place! You’re the one that dropped the doomed Korndog onto the race track, after all. Winning… can’t be that hard. Oh, but it is when a masked individual is placing traps on the track, tainting people’s karts with unneeded modifications and more! Who is this labeled Krazy Karter? Karter Krazfield, of course.

Ideas: 1) You can modify and customize Lester’s Kart with size, texture, color, and shape of wheels, exterior, etc… 2) Karter Krazfield runs a food shop inside the stadium – Karter’s Korndogs.

Here’s very quick, quick concepts I drew of Karter’s designs.

Super Soda

Plot: Professor Phizzy unleashes radioactive explosive candies into the world’s largest soda bottle – monster mentos. The soda bottle becomes alive, wreaking havoc on all islands – the worst part is, it acts like acid. You touch it with your hand… let’s just hope you write with the other. Poptropica’s precious islands are flooding, and you gotta do something! Everyone’s hiding places aren’t going to last forever.

Ideas: You’re in a locked down museum. You find a way out through the sewage system, and conveniently – a hazmat suit. With the sewage drain, you use it on the crazy cola as a bottle cap.

Here’s a quick, quick doodle of Professor Phizzy.

My interpretation of him when I was younger.

My interpretation now.

Yes, he purposely takes some influence from Rick Sanchez. 😛 I actually really like that my younger self gave him a rendition with rotten teeth, I think it’s still a nice touch. Just kinda gross. I have a few more island ideas, 3 more to be exact, but I didn’t want to stretch this post out more than necessary, so I’ll be talking about more in the future!

Hope you guys enjoyed my islands! Here’s a little extra segment:

Cobalt’s Comments: A drawn out thank you.

Ever since I came back, I have had a ton of support, I seriously didn’t expect it at all, and it’s absolutely awesome. To thank the most repetitive commenters, I’ve drawn you all. 🙂

Disclaimer: I don’t own a tablet, nor digital software on my laptop. I draw these on my iPhone 6 Plus, using the application Sketchbook. I’m no Crafty or HPuterpop. I just wanted to give you something more than a blatant thank you.

Also, if I didn’t thank you with a doodle – I’ll thank you now. ❤

Happy Lobster, Tall Cactus, Marshmallow, and MariotropicaX – these are for you!

For any reason you don’t like the quality, I’ll send y’alls a full resolution version on the PHC. I think it’s fine, though. 😛

I also do some more arts on my iPhone (wow, that seriously sounds pathetic) that I upload to my DeviantArt!

-Koi (◑‿◐)

Hoi, I’m Koi. Just so before I get addressed any of these questions, my current Gravatar is a Poptropican version of what I really look like in real life, not a new Popsona! I want to start a blog for my own clutter that doesn’t surround Poptropica, but Poptropica is also a big part of me, so I thought the icon was appropriate.

–

Skinny Moon: Hi all! Just popping in for a minute! I’m doing great! It’s Friday! YAY!

Tall Cactus: When do you think new pop will be out and when can you tell us more info? We want a new island on CURRENT pop!
Skinny Moon: I really can’t say anything. All details have to be kept confidential for many boring business reasons.

Hey guys, BT here! On behalf of the PHB, I’d like to wish the American viewers of the blog a happy Fourth of July (Independence Day in the USA)!

To celebrate, the PHB has a gift for everyone – no matter where you reside. Check it out below!

Poptropica glitcher WimpyKidFan is offering a special Avatar Studio Glitch for you all, and it’s not just the standard costume or Poptropican modification. Today, celebrate with an ASG for the Exploding Gum from the Johnny English: Reborn ad from 2011!

If your Poptropican is a boy and you want this gum, perform the ASG on the username Happy4thBoy, and if your Poptropican is a girl, it’s Happy4thGirl. For an explanation of how ASGs work, and for tons more ASG usernames for costumes out there, check out the PHB’s Avatar Studio Gift page here!

BT out with this quick wish, and once again, happy Fourth of July to those who celebrate! 🎉
