Hey Poptropicans! SR here.

There are some new scoop on Poptropica lately and without further ado, here we go! First of all, Jeff Heim, the composer of the Poptropica music we hear today, released a brand new demo reel not so long ago. It contains some new tracks and you can listen to it down below!

I have an extra challenge! Can you tell me where the tracks are being played? Try to guess as many as you can! It’s so amazing! Great job, Jeff Heim!

Moving along, Galactic Hot Dogs Island is finally added to the Poptropica along with new GHD items on the Store! I’ll try to add the photos soon but in the meantime, here’s the app logo!

Last but not the least, Twitter news! Here’s a couple of what we got this week:

Poptropica announced via Twitter that Timmy Failure Island is the next scheduled island after MotM Island. Also, there is no underground island on the schedule.

@Andrestushhog There is no underground cave island scheduled. Seems to be a rumor based on old sketches. Timmy Failure is scheduled.

Around October this year, Poptropica is trying to let our own players from the computer version come to the mobile! They also stated that there will be more such as costumes and islands.

@Chilly573 Understood & agreed! But complicated. Two different sets of code. Around October, costume back and forth. Anything more, later.

Last but never the least, Poptropica comics are also featured on Tumblr. How amazing!

For those of you not on Tumblr.

Wiki

Fanon, Fanon Everywhere

May 18, 2015May 18, 2015 Ultimate iPad Expert

Heyyo Poptropicans, it’s Ultimate iPad Expert here. It’s time to announce some more news!

I’m sure you all know of the Poptropica Wiki and you’ve probably also heard of the Popcorn fan magazine. Well, now we have the best of both worlds in the new Poptropica Fanon Wiki!

With the Poptropica Wiki you can learn and help teach others about Poptropica facts, but with the Poptropica Fanon Wiki you get to create your own islands, your own characters, and any more fanon – and share them with everyone to read. You can also check out other people’s ideas and show off your fan art, stories, etc. with everyone.

Along with the new Fanon Wiki, we’d also suggest you check out the We-Love-Poptropica DeviantArt page. Feel free to submit any sort of Poptropica fan art there, and send me a note with a link to it if you’d like it in an upcoming Popcorn fan magazine issue!

Let’s finish this post off with this awesome new logo from HP for the Poptropica Help Chat:

What do you guys think of all this? Feel free to comment your thoughts!

The Official Poptropica Wiki?!

May 16, 2015May 16, 2015 HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

We got an idea a while back, here in Poptropica Help offices – if we could get the Poptropica Wiki an official title (the Official Poptropica Wiki, think the Official Terraria Wiki), it would boost the visitor count, and therefore we would have more helpers and better content. Things like character names and graphic assets would be easily attainable.

And, let’s be honest: I can’t write a wiki by myself. Out of the hundreds of characters, items, and scenes, we’re going to need help. While we have a pretty large community, it’s going to take a whole lot more in order for this to happen.

So, basically, we asked Poptropica on Twitter if this could be a possibility – we also sent a proposal letter that basically stated the benefits. They’ve responded, but still no definitive answer.

Now, we’re asking you, the PHN community, to help us out. Tweet at @Poptropica the #OfficializePoptropicaWiki hashtag! Let’s convince the official game that we are worth an official title! 😀

make pop wiki official

We’re also thinking about merging with Gamepedia, and if you want to voice your opinion about that, you can check out the forum post. 🙂

TAFN.

Daily Pop Sneak Peeks, Timmy Failure Island

Daily Pop Peeks: Here comes Timmy Failure!

May 14, 2015May 14, 2015 Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans! News has been a bit sparse lately in the Poptropica world, so now seems a good a time as any for another peek into the Daily Pop sneak peeks. This month’s peeks (and a few from last month) thus far have all been pointing to the previously confimed Timmy Failure Island:

Knight Court: Enter the tomb of horrors!

Bowled Over: Another one like this and we go on strike.

Biggest and Best: We don’t mean to sound like a broken record.

Top of the World: When the moon hits your eye like a big falling safe…

Topiary: Bingo, you’ve got great looking shrubbery.

Morning Zoo: Why can’t they just play music in the morning?

Crazy Climber: Let’s hope these windows don’t give you a blue screen.

For Lease: If you worked here, your commute would be done by now.

Bowled Over: It’s the King of locations for your office party.

Bear Minimum: Hibernation came early this year.

Bank on It: You’ll vault ahead if you make your deposits here.

It looks like this sponsored island will be drawn in a more flat, cartoony style unlike the typical Poptropica graphics (think Big Nate Island or Galactic Hot Dogs Island).

Personally I much prefer Poptropica’s usual style – even sponsored islands like Red Dragon or Nabooti are often forgotten to not be completely Poptropica-original quests because their art style fits the rest of the islands, and they tend not to be remembered as “just another [mediocre] sponsored island quest.” Let me know in the comments what you think: is the idea of Timmy Failure Island a failure, especially for those not well-acquainted with the franchise?

Meanwhile, the underground cave island we were hoping for this year seems to have been placed on the back burner as TF Island takes its place, according to this tweet:

@Andrestushhog There is no underground cave island scheduled. Seems to be a rumor based on old sketches. Timmy Failure is scheduled.

In the rest of the Poptropica illustration world, we get a peek at a loose concept art painting (calling Poptropica “the Spirit of Adventure”) stated to be “new and not for any specific purpose”. Popstorm #27 has also been published, with the caption “Meet the frog family”.

Poptropica also casually mentioned this fun little protip for the next time you’re playing around on Realms: pressing the F key causes an avalanche!

@ishperson2580 Pressing the F key is a fun little surprise we left in for top players to find. It causes an avalanche! 🙂

Ask a Poptropica Creator!

May 9, 2015May 9, 2015 Ultimate iPad Expert

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!
