Which poptropica creator is jeff kinney

Knowing how often Kinney was asked in interviews to continue the films, and the decent quality of the previous films up to that point, I was confident that my role model would do it again—deliver a great film. Picking up again…. No, I thought to myself that I was actually doing a favor to Kinney in not seeing this film.

To me, nothing scares me more than writing a story that has even the least bit of a questionable plot point, let alone a story that is downright bad, and this is why I now love Krpata I already quite liked him before. Dare I bring it back up again, but how could you make Susan Heffley such an unlikeable mother? How could you inject the film with more of something as cheap as bathroom humor than anything else and yes, the books do have this, but nowhere near the level seen in this movie when Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie , a film adaptation of a book series that has done it so much better, was set to come out the next month???

But after much investigation, I finally have the answer. I remember when I was a kid, Poptropica was practically producing islands every month. Despite the game being around for quite some time two-thirds of a year now , as of this writing the only islands are Crisis Caverns and a remastered 24 Carrot. Crisis Caverns was the new island, and—what a surprise— fans complained about the lack of a storyline.

With Flash, the engine the original game was built on, ending by , it makes all the more sense for this transition to happen, but at the rate things are being produced for Worlds there are over 50 islands in the original game, take that for what you will , you can see the problem.

Quoting from the interview coverage from the Poptropica Help Blog again:. But try to digest this next statement from the PHB:. As far as numbers go, Mitch reports that there are well over million avatars created, and over million players. However, he says, kids are fickle, and they will move on to the next thing. There have been so many competing games in the past ten years, so the Poptropica team used to worry about competing with Neopets, then Club Penguin, and now Animal Jam.

Still, if you keep giving them something to come back to, they might stick around. Why make something of a reboot to the previous Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies that no one wanted and ultimately failed to deliver, when you could make a Poptropica movie??? What I am saying is that Kinney should take a break. Is this, among other things, the reasons for the sudden lack of a grasp to his storytelling?

While on his break, he can try to figure out what is going on with the decline in quality and try to fix it, so that when he does go back to Diary of a Wimpy Kid , he becomes the Jeff Kinney that we all know and love again, and in doing so, both Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Poptropica could become great again. Both films are not only highly enjoyable, but the differences between the animation style and the illustrations of the source material of both films allowed animations of the original illustrations to be implemented.

His relatability to the reality of our lives has impacted so many people, including myself, and I wish to see that continue for many years to come. Hope you enjoyed this guest post by Tyler Naimoli!

Kinney himself! I've been playing Poptropica for 5 years, since I was 7 years old. Even now when I play Poptropica the music takes me back to those summers I used to spend playing Poptropica. It's like the soundtrack of my childhood. I'm 12 years old now, and I still play Poptropica and am SO glad that Poptropica won't be lost to time when Flash is discontinued. Thank you, Jeff Kinney, for making this awesome game, and making sure that Dizzy Thunder keeps jumping from island to island forevermore!

Long live Poptropica!!! You created an awesome game. I can safely say we are all extremely glad you made poptropica!!! Also, your awesomeness has given me an idea for a new island! I call it, Curse of the Black Cats island. I drew out the designs for it already, but I kind of wanted permission from the creator cough,you,cough before I did anything to convince the other parts of the team whoever reads the blog's comments to consider making it an island.

I really think you'll like this island but could you like figure out a way for me to send you the designs? Thank you also your video game rocks:D By the way if you like my island my sister anna aka shy popper gets part credit because she helped a lot. Luv, White fox P. I've been playing poptropica since I was 8, I'm 22 now. I remember when it was just an ad on the corner of funbrain's website. Boy am I glad I clicked on it, because it's been the loveliest constant in my life.

Playing most other games gives me insane anxiety but Poptropica is so loveable that I always come back to it like an old friend. Thanks Mr. Kinney for Poptropica, but also for shaping my youth as a whole! Poptropica is a true childhood classic for me.

I have been playing this game since it released, in I was 6 years old then, but I am 19 years old now. I have not played in a number of years, but I decided to come back for nostalgic reasons. After just a short time playing shark tooth island my favorite , I found myself hooked all over again!

I have now already replayed over half of old islands, each one of them a true classic. I remember playing Poptropica in school all the time and I could never beat spy island, so coming back all these years and finally getting that medallion was very satisfying.

I hope Poptropica never goes away. In , FunBrain. Their desire was satisfied. The one book that was released online was split into three parts because of its tremendous length, and was released as three separate books titled "Diary of a Wimpy Kid," "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules," and "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw. He creates the illustrations for these books digitally. Years later, Wimpy Kid was made into a movie series.

Three were movies were made, encompassing four books: the first, second, third, and fourth. The last two were combined into one story. A Movie Diary book was also released in which there was information about the movie and how it was made. Because of Pearson's previous involvement with Jeff, it was them who he turned to when he came up with the idea for Poptropica. Him and a few others one being Jordan Leary began discussing the idea of the game, and in it was released to the public.

He created the basic Poptropica model, as well as programmed the basis for the game. He currently lives in Boston, Massachusetts with his wife, Julia, and their two sons, Will and Grant.
