Arabian Nights Ep. 2: Sneak Peek!

11/24/2014

0 Comments

 
Picture
The second episode of Arabian Nights Island has been uploaded to Poptropica! In case you forgot, in the last episode, "How Bazaar," we enter the lair of the Forty Thieves while on the lookout for the Sultan's magical lamp. The episode won't be out for Early Access until Dec. 11, but I've discovered the episode's files, scenes, items and probable storyline. Spoilers ahead! But first, here's the official description of the episode:

Lair of Thieves
In the den of the forty thieves, danger lurks around every corner. To outwit the most dangerous thieves in the desert, you'll need a little help evening the odds — and you'll find it in the form of an incredible magic power!
Hmm, what could that "incredible magic power" be? One possible answer is hidden among some of the item files. These items go together and suggest a recipe for a bomb of sorts -- except the bomb is called "magic sand." That sounds right, although a quick search reveals that those items don't commonly appear together.
Picture
Picture
Either way, the sand is not technically magical. According to the dialog files, you are thrown in the thieves' jail and meet a fellow prisoner, the Vizier, who guides you to craft a bomb that turns solid ground to sand, use it to take the key from a guard unseen, and unlock him. Following that, he will help you both to find the Sultan's magic lamp and then escape. But then, we're back to square one: what's the "magic power"?
Vizier: Why are you here?
You: The Sultan sent me to recover his lamp.
Vizier: Ah... what did he tell you about this lamp?
You: He just said it was "like no other."
Vizier: I see. Well, I may be able to give you something to aid in your quest, but I can't pass it through the wall. You'll need to find a way to my cell door without being seen.
The way you get to his cell without being seen is by dying your white prisoners' robe black to match that of the thieves'. We know this because of two of the items, White Robe and Thieves' Garb. Now by this point there have been a few action scenes, but I won't spoil their secrets just yet.
Picture
Vizier: Quick! take this formula, you should be able to find the ingredients around here and assemble them at a crafting table. ... You made the magic sand, great! try to use it to get the key to my cell from the jailer upstairs!
Now let's look at another dialog file. The only way to escape from the prison is to accept the Master Thief's challenge: place the correct lamp onto the altar; if you place the wrong one, you get "destroyed," whatever that means. And the correct lamp is, of course, the Sultan's magical one, which you and the Vizier aim to run off with as soon as it sets you free. But there are so many lamps! Which one is it?
Picture
Picture
That's a secret that I'll allow the episode to reveal. The answer is very obvious once you see it. Hint: staring at the picture won't help, use your mind!  Now, let's get to the juicy part -- images of all the scenes from the island! There are only four:
(Sorry about the Entrance scene. I haven't been able to fully decode it yet, possibly because it's not finished. I've posted the parts that are intact). That's not all.  Have a look at a few choice Daily Pop sneak peeks from the past month or two. They're often better quality than the stuff I've just hacked together, but focus on mystery rather than spoilers. Oh well:
I hope these sneak peeks have got you excited about the next episode of Arabian Nights and got those imagination neurons in your brain firing (I'm fairly certain that's a real thing). I really enjoy making sneak peeks like these, just as much as you enjoy reading them. Happy Thanksgiving week, and keep an eye on the horizon for another sneak peek from Poptrickia... about Galactic Hot Dogs Island!

Shrink Ray Video & Poptropica Hide & Seek

11/23/2014

0 Comments

 
What with Shrink Ray Island's recent remake, I decided to create a video walkthrough for it, which I had wanted to do for the past 3 years but never got an excuse. Enjoy, and don't forget to also check out the written guide!

And don't forget, Poptrickia Hide and Seek is still going strong! Congratulations to the winner of last week's challenge, Zippy Feather, who guessed the picture below. There were so many correct entries this time! That's why the next week's challenge, posted on the H&S page, is a bonus extra-difficult one (I hope).

Poptropica on Android and Shrink Ray Remade!

11/21/2014

0 Comments

 
After months of waiting, the Poptropica App is here as a free download for Android! Get it on your phone (or if you have one, tablet). It's almost the exact same as the iPad version, and they don't force a particular aspect ratio, which is awesome -- Poptropica in HD! If you need help on any of the islands, check out the Walkthroughs page, which has written guides for every island, and video guides for most too.

And speaking of bigger screen sizes...

Android app on Google Play

Shrink Ray Island, Poptropica's 20th island first released in  2011, has been remade for the big screen and sound! Everyone, not just Members, get to enjoy it. The remake is largely the same as the original, aside from some zoomed-up scenes and minor adjustments.

Stay on the lookout for a video walkthrough and review from Poptrickia sometime soon! In the meanwhile, check out the excellent written guide. Happy shrunken adventures!

Underground Adventure Island?

11/15/2014

Before we get to Underground Adventure, remember that PoptropiCon: Spoiler Alert (the second and climatic episode) is released to all players! You can use my guide, or the newly-created video walkthrough. Trust me, it's a very fun episode!

The winner of the PoptropiCon costume contest will earn a one-of-a-kind prize. See if you can put together the ultimate villain outfit, but beware — the action at this convention is about to get real!


Since July 2013, the Daily Pop (click here for all the images) has hinted that there might be an underground island coming soon, something to do with exploring a mine hidden among caves and geysers. It might also involve finding some sort of colony or hive. Exciting! I interpreted it as the return of Legendary Swords. They tapered off in September that year, but some new information tells me I was wrong. The Creators tweeted this:

SNEAK PEEK. Palace interior scene. Island yet announced. Coming Jan 2015 pic.twitter.com/ZphEwtt8wC

— Poptropica Worldwide (@Poptropica) November 12, 2014
And then implied that it's going to take place underground. On the current schedule, we can expect it in 2 months, after PoptropiCon's final episode. What do you think? This sounds like an epic island idea!

Poptropica Hide & Seek & Wimpy Kid's Return

11/8/2014

0 Comments

 
The winner for the previous Poptropica Hide and Seek has been determined: Congratulations to Little Lightning, from California! She correctly guessed the picture below. Know where that is? Or did you miss out on the fun? Check out the page to see last round's answers and the next game!
Picture
And also, I'd like to apologize for the massive, inexcusable delay between the games. I've always been bad about updating but I'm mad at myself for missing a 2-week deadline by 4 months. Sorry. I won't forget again (this time for real!) Click Read More to keep going.

Poptropica Land: The Best of the Best

11/5/2014

0 Comments

 
Maybe you didn't get a chance to vote yesterday, but today you can vote to decide which is the best Land creation out of the four contest winners:
Go to the poll on the Creators' Blog to vote. Personally, I'm springing for Fast Lizard's haunted land (who currently has a crushing 60% lead). All the others are awesome, and I would have loved to explore Silver Lightning's obstacle course with my Poptropican instead of just looking at a picture. Make sure to vote!

Poptropica's Prehistory

11/3/2014

0 Comments

 
Today Jeff Kinney shared with us some very insightful early ideas for Poptropica on the Creator's Blog (click here for that post). And it was quite a bit different from what Poptropica is today. First of all, that color:
Picture
Picture
Picture
(Click to zoom). Jeff said, "We envisioned an enormous map of single-scene rooms, and missions that you could go on every day." Presumably the rooms on the huge map above were not linked by bigger rooms, you had to manually pass through sections of the grid. Also, I find it cool how the Common Room was one of Poptropica's original concepts. It seems that rather than a story, each room was not very closely linked to others in the same area. And indeed, Jeff says "This was before we had the idea of islands or even the name Poptropica." I feel like in this old version, the game would have really gotten in the way of the story. I mean, just look at all those buttons and categories (Missions, Magazines, etc.) I'm glad with the direction they ended up taking. And... *chuckle*... that MP3 player, huh? No smartphones back in 2006.

The name

Picture
Poptropica was originally supposed to be called "Poptropolis" (no relation to Poptropolis Games). However, because of an undisclosed naming clash with a competitor, they changed the suffix to -tropica. Hence more island-y, less city-y in the modern game we now know and love. Ah, destiny.

Shrink Ray Remake, Tweets, and End of Land Preview

11/1/2014

0 Comments

 
First of all, happy Halloween! If you celebrated it, hope you had fun dressing up (both physically and on Poptropica). And now, on to some exciting news: Shrink Ray Island is being remade with a bigger screen and sound!
Isn't it ironic how an island about being shrunk to half the height of a remote control is being given a bigger screen? I think Shrink Ray will benefit a lot from this upgrade. The old screen size just wasn't doing it for this island. Click here for the new Info page, and also the new trailer. The remake is promised to come out sometime this month.
Picture
Members can get two new costumes from the store: the Milk Box and the Bottle Cap. And also, Members are the only people who can now play Poptropica Land: the public preview has ended! Congratulations to all the nominees, which you can browse here, and also the winners in each category so far: Silver Lightning, Serious Bird, Zany Crown, and one more coming soon for Haunted; so far it looks like Fast Lizard is in the lead. Click here to vote! Thankfully, it sounds like come January, Land is going to be released to everyone -- and it'll be the final version, not an alpha or preview. Cool!

Remember that poll I made on how many people actually liked the new episodal islands? Only about one third of the people said that they liked the episodal islands. Sounds like the Creators listened -- because next year they're going to make NEW islands in full form!
Also, we've been waiting about half a year for the Poptropica App to release on Android devices. The Creators just said that we'll only have to wait 5 more weeks! Although, they have gone back on several promised release dates for the app (albeit due to technical troubles) and Android users will of course have to pay for the individual islands.

@its_biscuittt just 5 more weeks!

@HannahLuv101 ShrinkRay releasing as one-part island mobile & online in Nov. Starting Jan 2015 more one-part islands. http://t.co/azOK5uUKci

— Poptropica Worldwide (@Poptropica) October 30, 2014
Who agrees that instead of charging already paying customers for each island (which are free online), they let us log in to our Member accounts on the app? I'm pretty mad that I have a Membership and still have to pay for mobile islands. Anyway, have a happy November!
