Survival Island (with a twist)

3/7/2014

Turns out I was wrong about my prediction. Survival Island is the upcoming island, not Deep Dive (although Deep Dive is still coming soon). Both, and all future islands, are going to be released in episodes rather than all at once. That means that we'll get less islands in the entire year, but they'll be spread out. I protest this change because of a few reasons:

  • We'll get less islands in the whole year! Which means less fun! Already the Creators have slowed down from the golden years (2009 to 2011).
  • We'll have to play stop-and-go. I mean, you leave off the story and come back a few days later... just boring.
  • Members will get less bang for the buck. Before, a one-month membership would let you play a whole island early; now, you'll get choked off in the middle or have to buy a longer membership.
Anyway, the first episode comes out on the 20th. In it, you crash-land in the Yukon and have to make a fire as it gets colder and colder at night. Next episode, you have to fish for food under ice. Also, you have a guidebook that you (my guess) have to rip pages out of to light the fire. As you can guess, that will complicate things...

More Advertising! Boo-hoo!

Picture
First of all, the ads on the sides of the screen that have always been there are different. They're animated now! A small step, but still disturbing.

Even worse! Go to any Old Pop island (like Night Watch) and go left of Main Street. There's a new ad space! This one is much wider, and you have to walk through it rather than click the sign to continue. Soon it'll have more ads on it... oh, no.

Does anybody realize what's happening? Mocktropica is coming true!

All Islands to Be Updated

Picture
The Creators recently announced that Poptropica is going to be playable on iPads. They said,
The initial iPad release will include the new-and-improved versions of two of our most popular Islands, 24 Carrot Island and Time Tangled Island. Soon after, you'll be able to download the bigger and better editions of more classic Islands...
Ah-ha! That means that all islands, including Mythology, Spy, Twisted Thicket, etc., are going to be upgraded to have music and the bigger screen. I suppose that's a good thing, now that the bugs are being squashed out of New Pop.

I wonder about Deep Dive Island... why would they make it? Or, if they chose it as the winner of the Island Contest, why would they choose it? They already made S.O.S. Island, and Poptropolis Games. I don't see the point of another underwater island.

Poptropica has to have ads, in order to get money. Besides ads, the only other way they get money is Membership. The creators are not trying to be annoying, they just have to do it.

Yes, we may get less islands, but they are released sooner. Do you see that Survival Part 1 is coming out later this month? Usually the next island isn't released for 2 to 3 months!

No one has any proof on how long the parts are going to be. I really don't think they would be short. If they were as short as Mini-Quests, I don't understand why they wouldn't label Survival as a Mini-Quest in the first place. The fact that Members get it early and everything, kind of makes it seem like it will be long.

I hope that the new iPad app will be good. I wasn't very impressed with Forgotten Islands.

>WOW<, is that comment is a pleasant surprise or what! I'll just explain why I'm mad at Poptropica for this...

I don't like the idea of yet another underwater island either, but since it's part of a contest, they might not have had a choice. Like, if there was no better entry. But I'm optimistic; it might even have a good story, unlike SOS and Poptropolis.

I know that Poptropica (and any free game) needs advertisements, but they have had fewer ads in the past. Now, suddenly, they're piling it on. This bothers me, since I was playing Poptropica even before Friends came out in 2012, and the ads were really light. AND the islands were still high-quality! *sigh* maybe I'm being old-fashioned...

Also, islands today are released every 3 months, but in 2011 and 2012 they were at a record level, like one coming out every other month. IDK, maybe that made me too demanding.

And since Survival is coming in 3+ parts of a normal island, each part will be quite short. Maybe 20 minutes each? Your normal pace will be messed up as well. I just don't like the story being interrupted.

And yeah, Forgotten Islands was a disaster. I too am fervently hoping the new app will be better.
