Not everything is free in this world…

July 16, 2010July 16, 2010 Shaggy Tornado

But these stuff are in the Poptropica Store! New post from PCB right here (Sorry Dr. Hare but no carrot flavored gum for you xD):

I want to be free

That’s not true: I want everything else to be free. In the Poptropica Store, I mean. Even though most of those sweet, sweet Gold Cards cost me my precious Credits, there are plenty of free items to go around.

Like mini-quests!

The avatar studio!

Candy canes!

Popgum!

(What is it, bubblegum week around here? Wake me up when there’s a carrot-flavored gum. Sheesh.)
Of course, for Poptropica Members, everything in the store is free, even costumes. But you knew that already.

Did you guys notice that he left out the free graduation day outfit? The first ever free outfit?! *pauses for a moment and thinks back on who gave the post* Dr. Hare?!?! ZOMG!! How’d he come back from space!??! 😮 But might as well stay cause i’ll make some gum for you! 😀 Bye guys! *waves*

*Goes into secret lab and makes carrot flavored gum, then disappears with a poof, leaving behind a faint smell of carrots :D*

Bubble gum blast!

July 14, 2010July 16, 2010 Green Boa

The rules of the school on Big Nate island are uncool, so the creators assure us you can safely blow buuble gum without going to detention. To celebrate this, the creators have a multi party WITH BUBBLE GUM EVERYWHERE!!! 😀

Bubblegum party!

Remember that cool bubblegum we released to the Poptropica Store a few weeks ago?
Or maybe the hot bubblegum?

Or the free bubblegum?

Well, the creators decided to get together in a Multiverse room for a bubblegum party! As you can see, things got a little out of control.

Why not throw your own bubblegum party in a common room or Multiverse room?

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

As you can see, the grumpy old pirate who we all love to NOMNOMNOM is more devoted to taking over Skullduggery than battling players, cus he only has ONE STAR. 😮 Anyway, that party looks crazy fun! 😀 And you’re right, Crawfish. It does look very out of control! :O

*Green Boa blows a giant bubble and floats away in it* 😀

With thanks to Adiboy101, we also found another Poptropica Creator’s real life identity! Mitch Krpata is an Editor of Poptropica, the game run by the company Family Education Network (FEN). His LinkedIn profile shows that he works for Poptropica, but other than that, not much is known about how he relates to Poptropica or which Creator pseudonym name he goes by. His photo there currently matches the one on his Twitter page.

Whoever he is, he probably had a blast partying with the other Creators in their Multiverse room! 😀

Shark Mania!!

July 13, 2010July 13, 2010 Shaggy Tornado

This new PCB post is all about the shark costumes by your favorite Poptropica creator, Shark Boy! Check it out:

Sink your teeth into these shark costumes

Have you had a chance to try out the new Hammerhead Shark costume in the Poptropica Store? I thought about it, but I couldn’t bear to look at myself in the mirror. What would my shark parents think?

Don’t forget, there are lots more neat ways to dress up like your favorite ocean predator in Poptropica. Also available in the store is this mean-looking Tiger Shark:

You don’t need credits for all the fishy fun. On Shark Tooth Island, a street vendor will give you this snazzy dorsal fin, free of charge!

And, of course, you can always visit the lowest level of the Shark Museum on Shark Tooth Island and costumize the most handsome museum employee around.

All this neat shark stuff — it’s almost enough to get me to crack a smile! Almost.

Did you guys buy any of the store costumes? Anyways, its my first official post! Yay!! 🙂

Well, ST out! PEACE!! 😀

Hellos & Goodbyes

BLARGH THIS PLANT IS GUNNA EAT CHU

July 12, 2010July 12, 2010 Cool Wing

Like ah said, this plant is gonna eat chu.

Plant monster, attack!

We’ve got a pretty scary looking monster at this point, but what good is a monster if it can’t attack? This monster can swing its seed pods around from its head, before throwing them at you at high speed.

Looks like you’re pretty small next to this thing, doesn’t it? That’s not all — we haven’t even seen the plant monster in motion yet.

That happened a couple of days ago. ITS A PLANT.

ITS GONNA EAT CHU.

Run. Run for your lives~

And then look! A summery post. This must be Shark Boy’s bestie!

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water…

I hope everyone is having a fun summer, while they squish red crabs on the beach. If you want to surprise your friends, try out the Hammerhead costume. It comes with a warm, limp fish.

Or it’s Shark Boy’s alter ego….

And then, the creators go and post something, WITH NO ANIMATION. D8<

Steamworks monster animation test

Now that the we’ve decided what this plant monster should look like on the new Poptropica Island, Steamworks Island, the next step is to decide how the monster should move. We put together a quick and dirty animation test:

Bet you wouldn’t want to run into that thing in a dark alley!

All this has taken us nearly to the completion of a plant monster for Steamworks Island. We may still decide to change the monter’s behavior, or some aspects of its appearance. After a few final touches, we’ll put it all together — but you’ll have to wait until Steamworks Island launches to see it!

Hmph. Darn you creators. ._.

EDIT: “Lol, they didn’t embed it correctly. Anyways, I found the file lol. http://sites.google.com/site/poptropicaassets/BolasPlant_Projection01.swf It’s really cool.
