The Public Land Preview may be over, but the hype isn’t! A tour of Zany Crown’s Tree House, the winner of the Land competition, has been released. It was made by Captain Crawfish himself. đ
Pretty cool, huh? I defiantly think the basement with the tree roots was the best part of the Land. It was super creative, so congrats Zany!
Plus, Poptropica Forgotten Islands is now out for Nintendo 3DS. You can buy it now at Amazon.
Just in time for the holidays!
Of course, there has been more art released on Twitter. Click to enlarge the images.
Now this is a sneak peek of an upcoming island’s “palace interior scene.” Apparently the island will be coming in January 2015, so it’s not too far away. Any theories guys? I may be way off, but the image kinda reminds me of the underground Daily Pops we were focused on a while ago, throughout 2013. Some people even thought they could be for the return of Legendary Swords. A good example of those Daily Pops can be found here (or look to the right). The images seem to have a similar style, right? Then again, at a second glace, the old Daily Pops remind me of Arabian Nights too. Well, hopefully you guys have some better theories than I do. đ
Anyway, a Creator also drew another Pop Storm! This one demonstrates the Squash and Stretch theme.
That’s all for now! Comment your thoughts below. đ
Hey Poptropicans! Quick update with some recent tweets.
First off, the Creators released another piece of Monster Carnival concept art.
I think my favorite is the bottom left. đ
The Creators also gave us a sneak peek of an upcoming Land feature. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but we will create… A WHOLE NEW WORLD!!! XD
I don’t know about you guys, but this looks amazing to me. Anyone getting a “Spore” vibe? Anyway, this is apparently a “prototype of player’s world management screen for Poptropica Land.” đ
In other news, we have a Poptropica Comic sneak peek to share!
Hehehe… XD
Before I go… Happy Veterans Day! You may not celebrate the occasion, but it’s still good to just say thank you for those who have protected you. On that note, Poptropica just can’t wait for Thanksgiving!
Hmm… Now I’m craving turkey and corn on the cob… đ
Plus, the Creatorsâ first ever video walk-through (for PoptropiCon: Line Forms Here) was released! It was even narrated by Captain Crawfish himself and is totally free! However, we will hopefully have a guide of our own soon. Note that the video contains spoilers.I have already completed the island (sadly I didnât rank that high) and I have to say that I loved it. There are so many cool costumes to customize, I got caught up in my outfit and got distracted from the quest. Even so, the story line was cool while still being pretty basic. The thing I think I loved most about PoptropiCon was that there were random Poptropicans (including the ones you can talk to) that walked around. This made it feel more a whole lot more like real life (and they were customizable).
What did you think of the island?
Second of all, Mission Atlantis (Ep. 1-3) is now out for everyone!
Nothing much to say about it; I personally found the ending a bit abrupt. I guess I was hoping to actually meet the âaliensâ and just discover more in general. What did youthink of the island?
Donât be surprised if you find yourself face to face with a blue-feathered tigerphant or an elusive fox monkey while exploring in Poptropica Land! Strange creatures will be showing up in the next version of the Poptropica Land labs project. Just be careful, theyâre not all friendly!
âŠalong with what it had already said. Below you can see many of the different animals you may come across in the update; most of them will harm you. Sadly, I couldnât seem to find or earn any of the furniture shown in the previous sneak peek.
Plus, it may just be me, but I also noticed that some of the generated land forms/man made rubble are more creative (instead of a few bricks from an old temple, I have been seeing finished campsites and fires). This includes images formed from plants, knocked over trees, and more. I donât know why, but I was pretty impressed by them.
So, that do you think about the update of PopLand? Well, you can share your thoughts with the Creators themselves! By clicking on the hammer in land (to bring you to the creating menu) there is a survey button where you will be asked a few questions about your experience. I personally would like the story line of the hammer to go more in depth. However, if youâve already taken the survey, you canât take it again.
While on the subject of Land, the Poptropica Map has changed a bit. The last two pages (of most recent islands) are organized a bit different.
As you can see, a whole new map page as been formed to include Land, PoptropiCon, Mission Atlantis, Monster Carnival, Survival, and Mythology. This leaves Mocktropica, Time Tangled, Poptropolis, 24 Carrot, and Virus Hunter on the second to last page. Not that big of a deal, but not the numbers are off a little (most map pages have 6-8 islands on them and there are only 4 islands on one page now).
According to the title of the video, the game will only be available (at first?) in North America. It will be released on October 14, 2014 so be prepared!:P Of course you can always pre-order it now. The Creators say thatâŠ
The 3DS version of Forgotten Islands includes all of the content from the iOS game, including seasonal costume packs, and is presented in stereoscopic 3D! Youâve never seen Poptropica like this before.
âŠso I donât know about you, but I think Iâm going to get it.
