Upgraded Mythology here for Members!

4/25/2014

UPDATE: Mythology Island is now once again here for everyone!

The upgraded version of Poptropica's most popular classic island, Mythology, is in Early Access starting today! Since this island was released before, Early Access lasts only one week. Strangely, non-Members cannot play Mythology for this week even through they could play it before!

Check out Poptrickia's excellent Mythology Island Guide for help!

I got #140 on the player map... oh well. Next time...

New Mythology in a Nutshell

Music: As usual, very satisfying. Not as dynamic as some of the other upgraded islands, though. And the sound effects are a bit overdone. The music in Hades, however, is terrifyingly disturbing and you'll go mad if you listen to it too long.

Here are the main differences:
  • The River Styx is easier, as the Creators mentioned. It's slightly slowed down and instead of ducking at the flaming skull, it looks like it'll go over you in a straight line but you jump when it dives down. The alligator gives no warning before attacking this time; you'll have to time the jump. All in all, it was easier, but it wasn't as dumbed-down as I feared.
  • The Red Snake is waaay easier. Instead of one- or two- at a time, a whole bunch of snakes come up at a time and one of them is always red-eyed. You can complete it in ten seconds. I found it boringly easy.
Thankfully, the Zeus battle was left untouched (but it was actually a bit harder, for another reason). And the game was much more glitchy -- hey, I thought they fixed those bugs! Let me explain... (click Read More)

Shark Boy: Vanishing before our Eyes!

4/19/2014

10 Comments

 
PictureNOO! Come back!
I am here with some bad news today. Shark Boy, the beloved Creator (and proud resident of Shark Tooth Island) is slowly being killed off by the other Creators. No joke. Wiped from history. I'm serious.

We should have seen this coming, in a way. On the Poptropica Toys page, Shark Boy has been missing since February 2013, though he was announced and he was there on Feb 7. If you go to his current toy page, you get a simple 404 error. So simple... but only the beginning of a web of deceit.

Any of you got Shark Boy as a Friend? (Here's how to do that if you don't know). His username was SharkBoyCreator, and his Poptropica name was Shark Boy. Now he's been renamed to SharkGuyCreator, and his Poptropica name is Shark Guy. Shark Guy?!! Maybe they're just softening us up for when they get rid of him for good.

Check out his profile. Notice that it's a perfect clone of his original account:

Picture

The worst part: All of Shark Boy's Creators' Blog posts have been shamelessly transferred to Captain Crawfish. (Even though Shark Boy has been posting for much longer than ol' Crawface). I knew he was bad, but not that bad... Look at this post (image here too):

The title says "Can you beat Shark Boy's high score?", and the video features him as well. In the post, the author says "I have the highest score..." etc., but look at the author icon at the bottom. That's right, Captain Crawfish. They won't even let him keep credit his high scores.

(Which I beat, by the way. By more than 240,000 points. But I digress...)

Can someone explain this madness? Can someone explain why one of our favorite creators is having his identity slowly and methodically dismantled? Nate Greenwall (his real name) has barely said anything about his job on his website, but then he hasn't posted anything since 2008. Only time will tell Shark Boy's fate...

Note to self: Do not go on an upgraded island while wearing the Shrink Ray Gun handheld item. It will just shoot green beams repeatedly and you cannot turn it off... 

Don't worry, I've reported this bug, and some other bugs with going to the Map from an upgraded island, so these should be fixed soon.

Mission Atlantis EP1 released

Survival is barely started yet and already Members can play Mission Atlantis EP1! It's a deep-sea photographic expedition gone wrong. (Which is probably a good thing, otherwise you'd have no island to play!) In other news, Survival Island Episode 1 is also available for all players -- see the guide.


Update: Poptrickia's own Mission Atlantis Episode 1 guide is complete! Click the link below to check it out!

Arabian Nights Island & CYDI RUnner-ups

4/16/2014

The long-awaited winner of the Create Your Own Dream Island contest is... Arabian Nights Island!

I gotta tell you, I was kind of tired of the hype by the time I saw the name of this Creators' Blog post. But I was not disappointed when I read it. The premise is: "On Arabian Nights Island, Poptropicans go on a quest across the desert to rescue a sultan's genie from the Forty Thieves."

I've always loved the Arabian Nights stories. Seeing the next Poptropica Island be based on it gave me goosebumps! I think it's going to be able to get the same amount, if not more, of success as Mythology. Both are based on exciting, ancient stories that never get old. I'll be eternally grateful to Magic Eagle, the Poptropican who proposed this island.

UPDATE: Check out this short video of the Creators reading the contest entries! I wonder what the woman at the end did with that envelope -- is there a bin or something down there? The world will never know.
Update: Review of the runner-ups
You can read through all of the runner-up entries on this Creators' Blog tag, some of which were (I thought) as good as the winner. They don't give nearly enough details, but my personal favorites (in no particular order) were Stormchaser Island, Space Bar Island (Cyberchase anyone? I loved that show), and Shakespeare Island (I didn't get the gameplay at first, but it would have been extremely fun). House of Cards got a lot of praise, but I personally found its plotline lacking, though the setting was awesome. Pharoah's Fantasies and Prehistoric sounded like stale ideas (but both were unique), Golden Mustache was too cheesy, Fashion Crisis sounded like a cheesier version of Night Watch, and Bikes vs Boards... don't even talk to me about that. It was blatant plagiarism of Teen Beach Movie, and the Creators really set a bad example by awarding that a prize. Not being a music person, I can't judge Symphony Island (though I love classical music).

I have some evidence that our beloved Mythology Island, is going to be re-released for the big-screen! In the store, there are two new Members-only items (see left). Also, the Mythology Island page has gotten the tell-tale makeover. There's even going to be a new player map to show new winners! We already knew about it's upgrade, but I never expected it on such a big scale. There's even a new poster and wallpaper!

Mission Atlantis

4/4/2014

Boy, was I off about my prediction about the next island... but I'm happy to be wrong, because the reality is more exciting. The next Poptropica Island will be Mission Atlantis! It'll be released in episodes like Survival. The trailer is enticing but plain; but it's got some interesting parts.
Notice those purple glowing marks near the end? Some of them look like bones. But then there's a part that has some dots arranged in a grid, which looks artificial. Whatever it is, I'm hooked :)

It would be nice if the woman in the vessel would show some emotion about being cut down and dropped into the depths of the ocean--just my two cents. Also, (start nerdiness) jellyfish can't really shock things electrically. Actually they just shoot stinging cells (called nematocysts) into flesh which are covered with poison, making you feel like you've been electrocuted. (end nerdiness).

Are you Surviving Survival Island?

Wow, that wind noise really gets on your nerves. And the thermometer is just lethal; look away for a few seconds, or switch tabs to write your walkthrough, and you're dead when you look back. My solution: click on the menu before leaving the game unattended. Also, though Survival so far has almost no story (except the creepy binoculars scene) and has a ton of little unfinished plot hooks sticking out (wet kindling that you never use, owls hiding in EVERY SINGLE TREE, part of your ax stuck in a trunk, a sleeping bear), I think it (and all episodal islands) is going to be very long. There are like 5 or 6 episodes planned now. Even though they're spread out, I think this will give us more room for a real story to happen; that's why Survival starts slow. What do you think?
