Daily Pop Sneak Peeks, Virus Hunter Island

A Creator’s Tribute?

AW

In the U.S., it’s been announced that the United States Postal Service is going to quit delivering on Saturdays to save money. It seems the Creators have a response for that; they have a response for everything.

Notice that on the lockers, there are names of Creators, like Ashley Lange, Nasan Hardcastle, Jennifer Wood, Christopher Barney…

This could also double as a cameo for Virus Hunter Island. See “Test Subjects Wanted” on the bulletin board.

“See what happens without Saturday delivery?”

Clever.

That’s all I wanted to share today, so I’ll see you next time!

New Islands, PHB Sneak Peeks, Virus Hunter Island

PHB Sneak Peeks: Up next is… Virus Hunter Island!

Slanted Fish

Thanks to PHB reader Aang, we’ve got the name for our next Poptropica island – Virus Hunter Island! It turns out that Poptropica artist Nasan Hardcastle has posted pictures on his blog for characters he has designed, including this image below of what looks like characters for the next island:

EDIT: About a day after this PHB post, the image above was taken down. Looks like someone’s been checking up on us! But they can’t take back what we now know. ;D

(By the way, check out Nasan’s site, Soft-Shack, for more cool Poptropica artwork.) A Whois search for virushunterisland.com confirms that Poptropica has owned the domain since March 12, 2013, and it even re-directs to Poptropica. Hmmm…

You may remember or have noticed the Daily Pop sneak peeks featuring Poptropicans exploring the human body’s interior, which shows us that the next island, Virus Hunter, will involve exploring a Poptropican’s insides. Plus, from the characters above, we can see it has something to do with a gym. Cardio exercise time!

Now… what about Dr. Lange? (First of all, is she named after Poptropica designer Ashley Lange? Creators’ inside joke, perhaps?) Silver Wolf and BT think she may be a suspicious character (evidently, red goggles + lab coat = PURE EVIL). But who knows?

So… Virus Hunter Island! Get excited like an electron in an excited state! (*ahem* chemistry joke) Stay tuned to the PHB for more updates!

Scene 2

ACTION!

Also, I really do have to apologize for my “mini-vacation.” I’ve just been so busy with tests and projects, and then state tests, AP exams, and finals are coming up in the following days and it’s getting so hectic! I can still post, but just barely. 😉

Also, if you haven’t noticed, our Back Lot Island page has just been newly updated with our guide, kindly written by Samwow5, skyboy303, Zippy Turtle, and edited by Slanted Fish! Also, some trivia has been added, not all of them, but a few of the little movie tidbits that you can find! If you can find more, just comment on this post or the BL Island page!

That’s all for me today. Have a great weekend! 😀

AND CUT! THATS A WRAP!

Back Lot Island, Web Development

Back Lot Island action begins for members!

Slanted Fish

“Action!” That’s the cue for all members to log into Poptropica and play the all-new movie adventure, Back Lot Island! No lights and cameras for the login screen – just pure, stampeding action.

Back Lot login

But, non-members, don’t worry. Your time to shine will come. April 25 at 2pm EST, to be exact.

Apr25

Anyway, our Back Lot Island Guide is up, so if you need help, there you have it! Hopefully the walkthrough (which has pictures) will be of value to you. And to celebrate the new island, we’ve got a Back Lot header up as well. Woot!

In other news, the PHB’s Poptropica Web Directory recently got a revamp. That’s the place where people can post ads for their Poptropica sites, so give them a visit! It’s listed under our Cool Stuff page, which is also home to the recent revamp of our Costumes page if you haven’t gotten a chance to see that yet. Double woot!

aaaand… end scene.

“Back Lot! Back Lot! Back Lot!”

Thursday, Thursday, Gotta Get Down on Thursday

AW

Hey everyone, it’s me again! Angry Wing. The Creators have made an announcement. First of all, they have confirmed that the whole HD-3D thing was yes, just an April Fool’s joke. A good thing too, because I don’t exactly have $999.95 just laying around.

But now for the big announcement…

Back Lot countdown

Back Lot Island comes out for members today, Thursday April 4th. (And for non-members, it’s April 25th – three Thursdays later.) Mark your calendars! Set your keyboards! Go play that island!

Later.

You can check out the countdown on Poptropica’s homepage now.

Right now it’s at 6 hours 36 minutes, 17 seconds. 16 seconds. 15 seconds. 14 seconds…

Here is the video one last time before the release.

Alright, that’s all for now! Good luck on your quest through the Back Lot!
