Hub Island & Poptanium Stashes

8/20/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture
There's a new island that just sprung up out of the blue this week: a Home Island, just like the one on the mobile app! Previously, new players had to figure out Poptropica just by trial and error (which I still think is a great way to learn something), but now the new Home/Hub Island also offers a guided tutorial. And it goes beyond the simple medallion-shard-finding quest from the mobile app: you can talk to almost any character for guidance, such as how to use the Costumizer.

Here's the fun part: now available on the online Poptropica through Home island is the Colorizer, now for free (just go into the New You shop). Previously, if you wanted to recolor your hair or skin color, you had to splurge in the store to buy the Colorizer, or visit certain places in the game that did it.

Picture
The Bundle Shop and the Arcade are also there, but they redirect you to the Poptropica Store and the Pathfinders common room, respectively. Hopefully there are plans to expand these with a new store and app-style common rooms (with the new chat and games).

And a quick word on the topic of Poptanium stashes -- in Poptropica Realms, it's possible to share worlds that you've created with the public. Poptanium is the currency that is needed to build anything in your realm, and there's a tool that lets you place Poptanium bricks into your realm, which can be collected later. So you can "give" Poptanium to other players by putting Poptanium bricks down and then sharing it! Brave Seagull has done just that, with an enormous world that not only looks good, but is filled to the coffers with pyramids of Poptanium that you can collect. The code is 9thzx., and according to Slippery Raptor's estimates, you can collect up to  4,630 Poptanium from it!

New Realms Features

3/15/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture
New features have been added to Poptropica Realms! I'll go over them all in this post, but the major points are "Nightmare Fairies", new props, costumes,  weather effects, and new abilities for high-level players. The new mining abilities are the  Ground Pound, Hammerang, and Super Jump .

  • Ground Pound is unlocked on level 5. It lets you clear lots of land in one hit.
  • Hammerang on level 10. It is basically a boomerang of destruction. You throw the hammer and it destroys anything in its path. Best used with Ground Pound to completely decimate an area.
  • Super Jump on level 15. When activated, you jump about twice as high as normal. Somewhat underwhelming, but it synergizes well with Hammerang. Basically, press 5 to let the hammer loose, then 6 to jump up and let it spin around in circles.
When you reach Level 15, you can get the prestigous Master Creator costume. To the right you can see me wearing it. There's another new costume, the Realms Builder costume, which you can get by typing in the promo code GOREALMS on the home screen when you log in.
And the coolest thing -- weather! Each Realm type has its own type of weather phenomenon, such as snow for the Snow Realm. The effect is really detailed. The snow, for example, doesn't just go through the entire scene, but it can go down through holes in the ground. I'm really quite impressed with it. You can see how it works below:
Picture
The Master Builder impersonating me.
Picture
And also -- new interactive props! They each do something when clicked on (if they're interactive), or when stepped near (like trapdoors and explosive platforms). Be careful though, props cost a lot -- 1 Poptanium for each square that they take up, rounded up. And they don't count towards leveling up.

But not all of the new changes are favorable. New are the Twilight Pixies, little blue fairies that will fly out of nowhere. When you touch you, they steal 10 Poptanium. Ouch! Thankfully they are pretty slow to move and to maneuver, and they're nocturnal. But they come in swarms. First one, then 2, then 4; the longer they go without hitting you, the larger their numbers get. And they can pass right through walls if they want to. I call them the Nightmare Fairies. If they get overwhelming, move to the area right or left, or click the Relams button in the lower left to escape.
Picture
The Pixies are another reason I liked the old Land better than Realms. I think the old one made it easier to create things, by not taxing your Poptanium for it. And now these fairies are making it even harder, even stressful. You just can't take your time to create something big anymore without a swarm swooping in.
Still, it feels great to just be walking around in an arid volcanic desert and suddenly find a tower with a chest full of 500 Poptanium in it :)

Last but not least. The winner of last week's Hide and Seek challenge is Barefoot Sky yet again! She's won more games than I can count right now. The image that she correctly guessed is below. This week's image was surprisingly trickier than I expected. There's another picture and another challenge waiting on the Hide & Seek page!

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!

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!
Picture

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!

Dream Home Winners Announced!

10/22/2014

1 Comment

 
The first four days of the Poptropica Land preview are over, and that means the winners of the Dream Home contest have been announced! They're not really called "winners" officially, though. Perhaps it's because they've got so many good entries? Sadly, mine was not one of them this time, I was too busy, but I'll try to participate in the others. So, without further ado...
Make sure to click on each one to see it in all its full glory! They're all great, but my favorites were Cool Sponge's Victorian mansion, Slanted Fish's slanted fish, Golden Lobster's whale, Mad Comet's hillside home, and Zany Crown's treehouse. I voted for one of those; which one did you vote for? The Creators' Blog home page is where the poll is, or you can click here.
Immediately after that, the contest for the best Village has already started. Only four days, so get building! Here's a useful tip: hit the 's' key in your Land to save a screenshot of the entire thing, which you can crop later. Cool, isn't it? Check out our Land page for more tips!

Picture
And for some even more exciting news: the second episode of PoptropiCon is coming out for Members this Thursday! Check out my sneak peeks of the episode until then. To celebrate the release, there's a new costume, the Popzilla Costume, available for Members. Get it fast, it's only here during Early Access of the episode, which starts tomorrow! There's even more fun for non-Members: everyone will be able to play the first episode of Arabian Nights on the same day! Click here for the guide.

Be sure to get this costume and vote for your favorite Land creation! But that's not all for today. Check out the latest video from Captain Crawfish. In it, he tells you how to enter the Land Design Contests, in case you didn't know. Very useful:

I wonder if the Creators will ever release the World file for Dr. Hare's awesome Secret Lab creation? I guess technically we do have the original Dr. Hare's Secret Lab, but still... Okay, that's it for today!

Poptropica Land Public Preview and More Sneak Peeks

10/16/2014

Starting today and continuing until October 30th, Poptropica Land is now open to all, non-Members as well as Members! During that time, the Creators will be hosting four contests; here are the topics:
Picture
Heh heh, looks like the Creators took my idea for the Obstacle Course competition... I'll be sure to enter that one. You've only got three days for each one, so best hurry up!

Our online comic heroes, Jorge and Oliver, are soon going to make an appearance in actual comic books. Check out these pages that were released through the Creators' official Twitter (click to zoom):

Very nice artwork. They promise that it's coming out in January 2015. Only two more months! And finally, just for fun, check out this rendering of a Zomberry cityscape that was never used. Looks so real I could almost swear I've seen that scene before.
Picture
That's all for today! I'm off to design my Dream Home in Poptropica Land (using the new blue material and Props). Sorry for the inactivity; I've been sick and had lots of catching-up to do at school. See ya later!

Poptropica Land Open to All for 2 Weeks!

10/9/2014

0 Comments

 
Guess what just popped up on the Creators' Blog today? Emphasis mine:
For two weeks, from October 16-October 30, everyone will be able to explore and create in Poptropica Land. You'll be able to save your creations and share them with us.

That's not all! We'll also be challenging your creativity during that two-week period. We'll give you a theme, and you'll submit your best creation to us that fits the theme. Then we'll review your submissions and share our favorites right here in the Poptropica Creators' Blog.
Basically a Poptropica Land construction contest, but on a massive scale, and this time anyone can participate! Even though it's only a limited time, I think non-Members would love to buy a Membership after it's over (trust me -- it's worth it for only $3 to $4 a month). Moving on, the Creators went a little bit overboard with the Twitter sneak peeks today, releasing a screenshot of an internal e-mail:
Picture
"Polish and bug fixes" for Poptropica Land definitely sounds cool, but New Start World really caught my attention. The Asgard theme probably will remain the same, but they could be about to make a major change to the way you obtain the hammer (Svadilfari). All in a week before the public preview.
More cool stuff: On the 23rd, Arabian Nights Ep. 1 will be free for everyone (yay!) and sometime before that (probably) PoptropiCon Ep. 1 will be available on the iOS app (whether for free like the online one or for purchase, we don't yet know). By the way, did you check out my PoptropiCon Episode 2 sneak preview yet? So that's the scoop on upcoming awesomeness in Poptropica!

Much Sneak Peeks, and "Props" in Poptropica Land!

10/1/2014

The Creators have been busy on Twitter recently, posting some fresh sneak peeks of Islands both upcoming and unreleased. Here's a whopper: the Creators were once seriously considering a "Water Thrill Island"! Check out one of the scenes:

Picture
Looks like we missed something that could have been very fun. The Creators said that it's only "rejected for now," but seeing that this island has a definite Summer theme, we'll be waiting for a while. One of the least likely things you'd consider that the Creators would have to puzzle over is the Island logos. Look at all the iterations they went through for the logos of Mission Atlantis, Arabian Nights, and Back Lot:
Speaking of Arabian Nights, the first episode of that Island is coming out for Members tomorrow! Another thing we now know about the Creators is that they have some very talented artists; see these sketches of some scenes from Arabian Njghts:
Picture
By the way, if you want the fastest news and coolest stuff about Poptropica, the best way is to follow me and the Creators on Twitter. It's better than just waiting on super-long blog posts like this one ;).Anyway, enough about that. The long-awaited Furniture update to Poptropica Land is here! Except it's not called furniture, it's called Props. The Creators did a great job of describing it, but in Props, you can drag in some pre-made items like doors and dressers (like the old Lands). They're unlocked by Poptanium. There's also a new menu interface on Lands to go with this. So, now you know where to find me for the next 2 hours :). Make something cool and send it in to the Creators, they might post it on their Twitter or on the Creators' Blog! And I'd love to see your creations too. That concludes this post from Poptrickia (finally)...

Poptropica Land Survey

8/30/2014

1 Comment

 
Picture
The last iteration of Poptropica Labs had a survey that you could take at any point while building, which the Creators seemed to have listened to as they designed the newest version. Now the survey is back! You can take it by clicking here or getting an invitation from within Land. I really encourage every Member to take the survey because the Creators have shown that they do listen to us, so this is our chance to make Land even more awesome!

The most interesting question is, "In Land, I wish I could...". Wow, not a very tough one; I selected all of the options (copied below).
  • Discover other players' creations while exploring
  • Interact with strange creatures (tame, combine, costumize them)
  • Turn my Land into a Common Room
  • Claim land for my tribe
  • Create puzzles and challenges for other players
If we got all these, it'll make Land a lot more social (the incessantly chirping birds and wilderness are really getting on my nerves) and bring it closer to the capabilities of a real, Creator-created island. Also, the "Claim land for my tribe" option sounds really exciting: Poptropicans in friendly combat once again like the Raising Poptropolis Games contest. Long live Nanobots!
Speaking of which, I've got a small survey of my own, too. What do you think of the recently added creatures in Poptropica Land? Personally, I found them boring and sometimes got in the way, but don't take my word for it. Vote in the poll to the right!
And it is possible to get rid of an irritating monster. Most of them follow you around (even the nice ones, which are a minority), so all you need to do is lure them into lava (water works weakly as well for some types of monsters). They flash red like you and eventually fade away. Failing that, you can always try TNT (though the latest update makes it so TNT actually hurts you now, so watch out!). (Gosh, it feels weird writing a tutorial on how to kill animals :(

PoptropiCon Released, And Monsters Back in Land

8/28/2014

0 Comments

 
UPDATES: The full written guide and video guide are complete. Click the links to see each one.
Picture
PoptropiCon has just released to Members today, and it's a pretty unique island in a few ways. First of all, the Creators have released an official video walkthrough of it, for free, at the immediate second that the island released. Which they are advertising on the homepage and in tons of other places. Doesn't that somewhat kill friendly competition on their own player maps? Hmm, this is making things tricky for us fansites, isn't it? (Check out Poptrickia's PCon guide too) Anyway...

PoptropiCon itself is a pretty awesome island (which I'm proud to say, I beat without the official video guide). The full written walkthrough is complete; click here to read. In it, you actually have to costumize specific items from different people in order to advance in the island, as well as do a lot of negotiating. The goal is to get into the sold-out PoptropiCon by any means necessary! I got #283, but hey, I was in school at the time it released *grumble*.
Picture
Monsters are back in Poptropica Land! If you'll remember, the last iteration of Lands had little "pets" that would be automatically generated and bounce around the land. These monsters are similar, but much more elaborate and Poptropican-looking. And some of them do bite!

Even more things are yet to come, though. So far, there's no sign of the knight, table and dresser shown in the picture to the right. Could we soon be getting more building materials? You can use them in the Poptropica Land contest if you choose to enter (come on guys, I know you've got cool stuff to share for prizes!)


In other news, the final episode of Mission Atlantis also released for non-Members today, and the penultimate episode of Survival has been out for a while. Check out our walkthroughs!
