🏝️ Poptropica Help Blog 🗺️

Hi Gs,

What isn’t happening in the world of Poptropica? Prepare to have your mind blown with all the new things happening in the Poptropica universe! 😀

Creators’ Blog updates

You may have noticed that two new features have been added the Creators’ Blog recently. The first is a search bar, entitled “Search the Poptropica Blog”, which they haven’t had in a long time. You can now find it right under the Poptropica Merchandise ad in the sidebar.

Underneath the search bar is a new tag cloud entitled “Popular Posts” — the most popular tags include “Books”, “Comics”, “Your Dream Island”, and “Lego Cuusoo”. Neat! 😀

How many more episodes this year?

That was the question that PHB viewer Slippery Raptor asked the Creators via their Twitter. They replied with an unsure answer, but something to think about.

slipperyRaptorTwitterQuestion

First of all, we don’t really know whether the Creators meant episodes or actual islands/episodic adventures. 6 – 12 islands is a bit much considering how we’re halfway through the year already.

The original question was “How many more islands will come this year since islands will be in episodes?”. He was asking how many episodic adventures would be completely released, forming an island. But, the question can be perceived to be asking how many episodes will be released. Either way, we have something puzzling.

We know for sure that there will be in total 8 episodes from the Survival and Mission Atlantis series. That said, it still doesn’t add up to 12. Could this mean that there will be more episodic adventures in the future? I’ve theorized before that there wouldn’t be any more episodic adventures after Survival and MA, but I’m starting to have doubts. Is this a good thing? Will we ever fully return to islands?

And what’s this about unexpected tech problems? That’s sort of worrying also.

Poptropican Creators Wallpaper

Remember the Poptropican Portraits Season 1 Finale Livestream, in which I drew three out of four of creators that you guys voted the highest as Poptropicans? While that is a mouthful, I still didn’t finish the last creator, Tracey West. So, I made a speed art video on my YouTube channel so you guys can get a taste of the making of her as well.

Afterwards, I put all of the creators that I had drawn together into a cool desktop wallpaper that you can view and download below. I hope you enjoyed the livestream!

You can also find more Poptropica fan art and more in the newly-released issue (#17!) of the PHB magazine, The POPCORN – just click here! 😀

Football Fever FIFA World Cup costumes!

July 4, 2014July 4, 2014 Samwow5

Hey everyone! I just went on Poptropica and saw a new members only costume card in the Store! On a recent post from the Creators’ Blog, they said they’ve got soccer fever, and so they created uniforms for the 8 teams that made it to the 2014 World Cup quarterfinals!

As you can see, I’m wearing the Brazil uniform! The other teams represented are Belgium, Argentina, Costa Rica, Netherlands, Colombia, France, and Germany! Here’s a picture of the uniforms:

I love the jerseys! My favorite jerseys are those of Argentina, Belgium, and Colombia! I wish the US made it to this stage, so we could get a US costume. Oh well. 😛 I’ll see you all later! Bye!

The Poptropicast

The Poptropicast?

June 30, 2014June 30, 2014 HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

What is the Poptropicast? I mentioned it my latest livestream, but it’d be a pain to sit through the whole thing just to find it… So, I’m going to tell you! It’s one of my many upcoming projects for the summer that I’ll be talking more about soon. This is the first of many exciting things happening! 😀

The Poptropicast is a weekly Poptropica audio podcast where I talk about certain Poptopics — for example: similarities in Poptropica villain’s plots (in fact that will be the first episode’s topic 😛 ). These episodes will last around 30 minutes long, and will come out as I said above weekly — every Wednesday.

poptropicastnoback

As I also mentioned it will be an audio podcast, meaning that you can listen to it without having to look at the screen — it’s great to listen to while you’re playing Poptropica!

You can watch the teaser for the show below — it’s coming this July, so be ready for it on my channel or my Sound Cloud. 😀

And don’t forget — there’s still time to enter in the PHB magazine, the Popcorn, coming next Sunday! Just submit your questions/fan-fictions/fan-art/costumes to [email protected]. 🙂

MiniQuests, PHB History, & Android app delayed

June 28, 2014June 28, 2014 Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans! Looking to beat the summer boredom? Poptropica may have nearly 40 islands, but if that’s not enough for you, then try the MiniQuests! There’s a variety of these not-fully-island-length adventures to play, and the PHB has guides for all of them – the most recent addition being our Nano-Combat Training Guide for the Virus Hunter promo mini-game – so go check it out! 🙂

For even more ideas on what to do on Poptropica, check out our list of 101 Boredom Busters or play the new Animacation ad on Main Street of Monster Carnival – more details in my previous post!

A couple of other things: video walkthroughs from YouTube have been added to all our island trivia pages, and I’ve finished writing a brand-new History page for the PHB (under the About tab) that highlights some of the exciting things that have transpired since the birth of the blog in 2008! 😀

Remember when Poptropica said that their mobile app would be available for Android (Google Play) starting July? Well, it looks like that’s not the case anymore. According to a more recent tweet from Poptropica, it’s taking longer than expected and may be ready in September. Sad face. 😦

Anyway, that’s all for now – be sure to check out the posts below for all the latest happenings in Poptropica! There’s the Animacation ad, Mission Atlantis Ep. 2 for members, Survival Ep. 3 for all, some new info on both of those islands, and more. Pop in later, Poptropicans! 😀
