Bonus Items, Daily Pop Sneak Peeks

Kite Flight

On Cryptids Island, if you didn’t already know, you can fly kites from the kite store! There’s lots of them to choose from, such as this panda one:

"Pandas do make me smile."

For non-members, Cryptids Island is apparently opening on Tuesday, January 18. Which isn’t exactly fair because they had originally released the date as January 17. Sneaky Creators. 😐

In other news, there are some new Daily Pop sneak peeks you might want to take a look at the next time you log in:

  • Buzz On – Will this scavenging bird make an appearance in Poptropica?
  • Horse Face – A horse learns to express itself.
  • Take That to the Bank – This scene could use the color of money – and some other shades, too.
  • Yippie for Hippies – No, there’s no Hippie Island planned. We’re always trying out new costume ideas.
  • The (Steam) Works – Most of these ideas never made it into Steamworks Island, but they helped us figure out how we wanted it to look.
  • What a Drag – Gold cards go through the same creative process as islands. Here’s an early look at something that may end up in the Store.
  • Ready, Yeti? – An early sketch of Bigfoot for Cryptids Island. We decided to make him scarier!
  • The Missing Link – Will these cavemen concept sketches ever find a home on Poptropica?

And don’t forget to take Poptropica’s quick survey when you log in! Giving your opinions may help the Creators understand what YOU want from the game!

Surveying Poptropica

Yes, that's right, they want to know what YOU want!

Captian Crawfish IX: Awesome Right?

EL: Quiet. Hijuyo already ate five of your cousins, Green Boa ate one of them, and I swallowed all the rest. So shut your piehole. How do keep living? I don’t know, but SHUT UP.

CC IX: 😦

EL: Well, now that that’s over with, I can tell you guys this.

CC IX: You won American Idol?!

EL: No, I-

EL: Well, I took the new Poptropica survey on transition street. The one with the minor ads. I love the gallbladder – oh, um it’s a survey asking you about the Daily Pop. Go take it! And on a final note…

CC IX: *wind whistles through his eye sockets*

EL: What? I had to do it! >:D

goodbye 2010. hello 2011.

Although not exactly Poptropica-related, we here at the Poptropica Help Blog would like to celebrate the fact that it’s 2011 (or will be, anyway, if you happen to live in a different time zone) – and the PHB is still here after all this time to bring you Poptropica goodness! 😀

~Two Zero One One~

So, happy new year from the entire PHB team! Hope 2010 was a great year for you, but 2011 might just be better! ;D

Kids Talk

GA loves makin' logos. xD

 

Hey guys, Coderkid will probably want to post his own post about this later, but for the sake of getting the news out I decided to post it myself.

This post is to inform you all that the PHF (Poptropica Help Forum) is changing, I’m not sure whether the entire PHF is being converted or if it is going to be a new site. But The PHF is being transformed into a sort of general kids talk forum instead of just Poptropica.

For more information please visit one of the links below.

This is GA signing out.

Daily Pop, Store

Little firebreathing dragons!

Scroll down or click here for Green Boa’s notice.

There’s a new gold card item in the Poptropica Store, and it’s part of the Followers series! This one’s called Dragons, and it features three tiny, cute little dragon followers which blow out substances from their noses every so often, which is pretty neat.

The yellow one blows small clouds with smilie faces, the blue one seems to spit a trail of blue little circles, and the red one breathes fire. Which one do you like? 😀

In other news:

  • If you haven’t already, please welcome RavenClawGurl, the PHB’s newest author of awesomeness! :]
  • Our improved Cryptids Island guide, written by Super Thunder, is not only helpful with its instructions, but also has pictures too! Check it out!
  • There’s a whole bunch of sneak peeks on the Daily Pop the PHB hasn’t mentioned yet, and which I’m not bothered to take pictures of here, but do remember to check them out on Poptropica. They’re called ‘Sizing Chart – We use visual aids to communicate the scale of new objects and scenes,’ ‘Wireframed – Before the art is finished, we use outlines to visualize our scenes,’ ‘Go Go Robot – Just some of the ideas that would eventually become the steam robot costume in the Poptropica Store,’ ‘Publick House – This place on Cryptids Island could use some customers. Come right in!’, and ‘Newfangled Technology – The wonders of the twentieth century!’
  • Read Escape From The North Pole, the holiday special episode from our sponsor, the comedy known as Party With Hobos, which is irrelevant to partying with hobos because it’s too awesome like that. ;D
  • Thanks to Metsfan21 for providing the Christmas header we had up from December 24th to 26th.
