Are the Creators cheaters? And a new sneak peak.

GA: Hey guys, I was playing the games on the daily pop when I noticed this on the high-score list.

GA: As you can see, a creator (Binary Bard) is on the high-score list. But what’s most peculiar is his score… He’s the top for the week    with “15” When the top for the day is “348,297”. Hmm… I smell a cheater.

Binary Bard: I did not cheat! It was um.. a glitch!

GA: Maybe you’d like to tell that to Mr. Boxing Glove. *raises fist*

Binary Bard: Gee, I should really be leaving now…

GA: *moves fist rapidly toward Binary*

Binary Bard: Wait! Wait!

GA: What?

Binary Bard: I have a sneak peak to show you.

GA: Fine, hurry this up.

Binary Bard: Here it is…

Binary Bard: Work begins on the common room for a new island.

GA: Yah, a sneak peak that lame isn’t going to get you out of cheating…

Binary Bard: Aw…

*WHAP*

Poptropica Down

Hey guys, not much news for my first post here.

You know, come to think of it, this news isn’t even good news. Poptropica is down for maintenance.

But to think of bigger questions, why would they be down? It could be just for minor glitches or patches, but if my hunch is correct I’d say it has something to do with Criptids Island. The shutdown was actually to start up the new Daily Pop.

Be Sure to check the meter to get updates on if it’s still down or not.

It could’ve been so different… :O

Update: For reasons unknown, the post mentioned below has been removed from the Creators’ Blog! Kind of weird… and nobody knows why! (Thanks for noticing, Explorer Bronze.)

Do you know what Poptropica may have looked like in its early stages of development? The Poptropica team sure had some different styles of designing back then! Check it out:

Poptropica’s embarrassing baby photos

Do your parents ever like to embarrass you by showing your baby pictures to your friends? Mine sure did, until I got even. Oh, did I get even…

Um, anyway, it turns out that Poptropica has some embarrassing baby photos of its own. You already know that when you start a new game, you can customize your Poptropican any way you’d like. It looks a little something like this.

Way back when we started planning Poptropica, we knew we wanted to let you customize your character. But, er, this is how we initially sketched it out.

Yikes! Of course, it was never meant to look this way for real. We just wanted to demonstrate how changing your character would work. Still… yeesh. I can’t believe we used to look like that. How embarrassing!

Captain Crawfish’s Steamworks Island travelogue

Believe it or not, we’re only a week away from opening Steamworks Island to everyone! During the Early Access period, I’ve ventured away from Skullduggery Island to explore the mysteries of Steamworks.

Lucky for you, I took pictures! Settle in for a vacation slideshow like you’ve never seen. And no talking until I’m done.

One of the great things about Steamworks Island is how many different ways there are to get around. You might overlook this little bit of simple machinery on first glance.

But look what happens when you stand on it and start running!

It takes you all the way up the thread of the screw.

I know there’s a mystery to solve on Steamworks Island, but I was having too much fun with this. As it turns out, that was a recurring theme of my trip.
