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!

Popspiracy Theories

What is going to save Poptropica?

HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

Well, I played PopCon 3. I liked the story, art, characters, etc. But what I didn’t like?

THE GAME DEVELOPMENT!!!

When I say game development, I mean the development of the skeleton of the game – the game mechanics, the programming. I have a sneaking suspicion that Jordan Leary, the lead game developer, either isn’t working at Poptropica anymore, or has been demoted. Either way, something is definitely wrong.

The art is great – like really great. I feel like the team of artists still are there with motivation to make quality content. Tons of amazing scenes and animations. The story is still charming as usual. But then you try to play the island and you have to log out and back in 5 times. It really takes the fun out of it, doesn’t it? I can’t appreciate art when I can’t even access it!

I still do have a point, however, and if you’ve read this far then I’m sure you’d like to hear it. I know what is going to save Poptropica, and it very well might already be in the works. A couple weeks ago, there was a survey on Poptropica that asked the standard questions – how much do you play Poptropica? What other games do you play? etc. But, just like always, they also asked about new features and what we thought about them – this time being a desktop version of Poptropica.

For the people that don’t know, a desktop version of an online game would be a downloadable game that can usually run offline. If Poptropica would become a desktop game, it would probably not run on flash anymore, which would fix a whole handful of problems right there. It’s hard to make a convincing game in a browser with flash, so converting everything over to desktop would be awesome. But that’s what I’m getting at – converting the game would basically be re-creating the entire skeleton of it, and if done right, could save the sloppiness that the programming has become. Please, Jess M. Brallier, take some advice from the fans. Hire the right people when creating a desktop version.

And one more thing – if Poptropica becomes an actual desktop game, it may be considered by the gaming community more to be a real video game, which means a bigger community. Right now, they have a reason not to take it seriously.

TAFN.

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 🙂

Advertisements

Hey, that’s me! (Poptropica ads on Funbrain)

HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

Quick post to tell you that there is an ad campaign for Poptropica happening on FunBrain.com, and some of the most prominent figures in the community are featured – including widdle old me!

These ads can be found here, and feature people like Slanted Fish, Shaggy Tornado, and Spotted Dragon. I’m so honered to be a part of the campaign! (The ads alternate, you’ll have to refresh the page a couple times to see them all on the site.)

So here’s a challenge for you – Identify who all the people in the ads are! Leave your guesses in the comments, and I’ll follow up the winners in the next post I make! (shh totally not making you find them so that I don’t have to 😛 )

TAFN.
