Ask a Poptropica Creator!

Heyyo Poptropicans, it’s Ultimate iPad Expert with some really awesome news!

I’ve been talking with Jess Brallier, aka Zeus, who heads the Poptropica Twitter. I brought up the question of maybe doing a Q and A with him and he said yes!

Q&A with the CEO

I felt it best that it not only be us authors to ask questions, but also the community! Do you have a question that you want to ask a Poptropica creator? Put them in the comments of this post. The other PHB authors and I will pick the best ones and send them to Jess for him to answer. 😀

Looking forward to seeing all of your questions!

Biggest Poptropica Appdate — now available!

updatenow

Hey, SR here!

As expected, the biggest and best Poptropica app-date has been released! The update contains the new Shrink Ray Island, the multi-player arcade along with Sky Dive and Star Link; and new costume bundle packs which cost $0.99!

I can say, the arcade is quite awesome. The games are cool, but there’s just one flaw when you’re playing Sky Dive. 😛 The fun never stopped there!

There are a lot of interactive items around the room. There’s a Dance Dance Revolution arcade featuring Bucket Bot from Mocktropica and a ball pit for you to jump on. Also, there are emotes on the app — including new ones! The new emotes are silly (does a silly dance) and faint (faints on the floor). Lastly, when you tap another player, your Poptropican will say, “Hello there, (Poptropican Name)!” Overall, the Creators did a great job. Check out the pictures below!

Moving along, there are new costume bundle packs at the Shop! Here’s the list of the new packs, available for $0.99:

  • Survival pack: Includes Wind Power, Ghillie Suit, & Rhino Costume
  • PoptropiCon pack: Includes Popzilla Costume, Lunar Costume, Game Show Costume Mission
  • Atlantis pack: Includes Diving Suit, Puffer Fish Costume, Drone Follower
  • Knights Pack: Includes Templar Knight, Lightning Knight, & Heart Astro Knight (girls) or Earth Astro Knight (boys)
  • Shrink Ray Pack: Includes Bottle Cap Costume, Milk Box Costume, & Shrink Ray
  • Sweet As Pie Pack: Includes Mud Pie, Lemon Meringue, & Cherry

There’s also an advertisement on every Main Street and advertisement space around Poptropica! 🙂

The Text Adventure (commentary by Omegon!!!)

THE REIGN OF OMEGON LIVES.

SALUTATIONS AGAIN, EARTH-DWELLERS. IT IS I, OMEGON, HERE WITH AN UPDATE THAT MAY INTEREST YOU ALL. I CAN SEE BY YOUR CONSTANT SASSING IN THE COMMENTS OF MY LAST POST THAT THIS WILL BE RIGHT UP YOUR ALLEY BECAUSE IT INVOLVES THE CLEVER CRAFT OF WORDS.

APPARENTLY THIS IS A NEW PROJECT CALLED “POPTROPICA: THE TEXT ADVENTURE.” WHICH IS BASICALLY POPTROPICA WITH JUST A BLACK SCREEN AND WHITE TEXT. GENIUS!

PopZork_intro

OH LOOK, THEY HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN “IMPOSSIBLE PUZZLES THAT PLAYERS SOLVE BY LOOKING UP WALKTHROUGHS”. AFTER ALL, THAT’S WHY THIS BLOG EXISTS, RIGHT?

PopZork_puzzle

YES OF COURSE I WANT TO MAKE YOU CRY, CAPTAIN CRAWFISH. AND AFTERWARDS, I WILL NOM YOU AND FEED YOUR REMAINS TO THE PHB READERS LIKE THE GREAT VILLAIN I AM. NO, YOU’LL NEVER TAKE ME DOWN. NOT LIKE THIS CURSED CTHULU…

PopZork_boss

POOR GUY. HE WAS ONLY TRYING TO WREAK HAVOC ON POPTROPICA AND TAKE OVER THE WORLD. I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT.

BESIDES, THE ADS ON POPTROPICA ARE KIND OF LIKE ME AND MY HENCH-BOTS – THEY ENTICE YOU WITH THEIR CHARM AND BAM! YOU’VE BECOME ONE OF THEM. THEY SAY THE ADS ARE HARMLESS, BUT THINK ABOUT IT, THEY’RE JUST AS DIABOLICAL…

PopZork_custom

WELL ANYWAY, IF YOU WERE HOPING TO TRY YOUR HAND AT THIS BEAUTIFUL TEXT ADVENTURE, I’M AFRAID YOU’RE GOING TO FIRST GET YOURSELF SOME GOOD OLD-FASHIONED FLOPPY DISC-COMPATIBLE COMPUTERS, WHICH IS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE (NOT TO MENTION INCONVENIENT!) IN THIS DAY AND AGE. SERIOUSLY, WHAT ERA DOES CAPTAIN CRAWFISH LIVE IN?? I TOLD YOU HE WAS BETTER OFF BEING EATEN.

BUT HEY, IT’S APRIL, AND FROM WHAT I HEAR, FOOLISH THINGS CAN HAPPEN. NOT FROM ME, OF COURSE; I AM INFALLIBLE.

BY THE WAY, MY TAKEOVER OF THIS WEBSITE IS GOING WELL. THE PHB STAFF HAVE BECOME MY HENCH-BOTS, AND MANY HAVE FALLEN VICTIM TO ONE OF THE CLASSIC BLUNDERS – THE MOST FAMOUS OF WHICH IS “NEVER GET INVOLVED IN A LAND WAR IN POPTROPICA” – BUT ONLY SLIGHTLY LESS WELL-KNOWN IS THIS: “NEVER GO IN AGAINST OMEGON WHEN DEATH IS ON THE LINE!!!”

WITH THOSE WORDS OF WISDOM IN MIND, I SHALL END THIS POST. PEACE OUT. TYRANNY IN!

Thank You! (from Tobor)

THE REIGN OF OMEGON LIVES.

I have to thank you all so much for your assistance so far!

A few of you certainly were able to give me help in order to habilitate in the new WordPress blogging environment! Mostly the fact that I can make a decent post thanks to a look around on the official WordPress guide, as well as you guys of course!

Over time, I feel I’ll be able to get better, and who knows? Maybe I’ll get my own blog one day! Even though it might not be as great as the juggernaut that is the Poptropica Help Blog, there’s a possibility that I could make an equally good blog. GONe will be the days of my noobish self as I continue on my journey here! 😛

Haha, I can’t grow too confident yet though. And neither should you… after all I’m hardly the first to begin my sentence of serving this blog with a thank-you letter. See you all later!

The Blogging Intern

THE REIGN OF OMEGON LIVES.

Hi. My name – at least online name – is ToborAureum. You probably never have heard of me, but can I ask you a favor? I need tips on how to make my own functional blog. I know you are really good at it and I’m happy you are so good at it. I don’t wish to embarrass myself on my own blog, though – I just need some help from people to get the hang of it.

Don’t worry, I won’t stay long here. I’ll go as soon as I’ve learned as much as I can. Thank you 🙂
