What's New?

Hello Penguins! 

It's been busy here at Club Penguin HQ! For the last few months, we've dedicated a lot of the Club Penguin team to make the experience faster, and to squash some big bugs that were getting in the way.

blog_120124.gif

Here are a few examples of what we've done:

  • Faster loading: One of the things we've heard is that you want to log on to Club Penguin faster. We're listening, and have been working on a bunch of improvements... everything from room and game speed to server upgrades. 

  • Blue screen bug: Some of you were getting disconnected while seeing a blue loading screen. Guess what? The team squashed this pesky bug!! Thanks for being so patient.

  • Small screen trick: Did you figure out this trick yet? Now you can switch between Small Screen and Big Screen without logging off! 

We're working on more improvements, so stay tuned as we continue to make Club Penguin even better!

Until then... Waddle On!

Happy77 here. It's time for the first Reviewed by You post of 2012. Last time, I asked about your favorite way to save up coins in Club Penguin. Blazer2529 shared some sweet ways to earn coins:

I like to save coins by being a tour guide and secret agent! It feels good because those jobs mean helping penguins and the money I get from them helps even more people world wide! I also like playing games like connect four and mancala because I get to meet all kinds of new friends and that means not only am I earning money to donate, but the person I'm playing with is too!

Nice answer, Blazer2529!

Thanks to your support, we've donated $620,000 to help build safe places like libraries, schools and playgrounds for kids. So for this week's Reviewed by You, we want to know...

Hello Penguins!

Each year we celebrate the holidays by making a big difference in the world.  Ever since we started "Coins for Change," more than $4.5 million dollars has been given to help hundreds of thousands of kids, families, and animals around the world!


This is the fifth anniversary of Coins for Change, so we wanted to do something extra-special to celebrate! I'm very excited to say that we're giving DOUBLE this year! 

This year, you'll get to decide how to share $2,000,000 between three worthy causes:

  • Providing medical help
  • Protecting the Earth
  • Building safe places

Coins for Change will launch with the Holiday Party on December 15, so now's a great time to start saving up your virtual coins! 

Get ready to help change the world...

Until then... Waddle On!

Hello Penguins!


Since we've launched a new ninja game each year, many of you have been wondering when we will launch Card-Jitsu Snow.


The team is still working hard on creating a great Snow experience, but unfortunately it's not going to be ready for a while. We don't want to launch it until it's the best it can be. So, we've decided to do something different for ninjas this year, and we think you'll love it. There are some BIG surprises in store...


  • We're releasing a huge new Card-Jitsu Party. For the very first time, we're decorating almost the whole island with a ninja look!
  • There will be new decorations, new items, new Stamps and new rooms available only at the party!
  • For the first time, penguins with free accounts will be able to play Card-Jitsu Fire and Water during the party!! 
  • We also have a BIG surprise for those who are able to earn their Fire Suit or Water Suit.

I'll have more info for you soon. In the meantime, here's a sneak peek of the new party:

Happy77 here. Hope everyone's having a Happy Halloween! The team's been busy catching bugs and ghosts while munching on candy at the office today. ;)

Remember our last Reviewed by You blog, where Billybob asked you to describe the weirdest Halloween puffle hat you could think of? Well, we picked one comment from each language, and an artist drew all four of them!

On the English blog, Aguon1 had this idea:

My idea would be: a spider puffle hat. It would be brown and it would have the legs and the head on it. It would have the eyes on it the would be big and gloomy. It should also have a buggy mouth on it and have black stripes on the legs.

blog_111031_EN.jpg

In French, Gopinoo had this clever idea:

For me, the spookiest puffle hat ever would be a hat in the shape of a jellyfish but with snakes instead of tentacles. Waddle on!

blog_111031_FR.jpg

In Portuguese, Elvis524 left a suggestion that I thought was quite fabulous:

I guess the best Halloween hat would be something like a mountain with trees and the Living Sled on top!

blog_111031_PT.jpg

In Spanish, Layla6765 made this amazingly creative suggestion:

The most terrifying puffle hat would be weird but creepy. It would be a mixture of a witch hat and a zombie hat with a unicorn or Pegasus horn to make it silly. The result would be a witch hat with gears and scars and a horn on the top. It would be funny to add stars to the horn.


blog_111031_ES.jpg


You had so many wacky creative ideas! Thanks for all your fun suggestions, everyone. :)

Hello Penguins!

As you know, we just launched the new Chat upgrade and new Friends experience this week. It turns out they're both incredibly popular! There have been so many friend requests being sent back and forth that it's even made it difficult to log in. 

To make sure you're able to login, we'll be limiting the number of friends to 100 this weekend. This is a temporary fix while we continue to optimize. You'll see your full friend list again once we're finished a bit of maintenance.

Hello Penguins!

I'm excited to say... the new Chat Friends and Chat are available now!

The team has been working really hard on these new features for you guys. This is all brand new technology for Club Penguin, and we're really excited to finally share it with you!

Here are a few brand new things we've added:

  • New Chat: Chatting with your friends is now easier than ever. It's way faster to make sentences by clicking the word blocks as they appear:
blog_111028.jpg
  • Pictures of Friends: Now you'll see pictures of your friends instead of just a list of names. So it's faster than ever to see all your friends' outfits!
 
  • Tag your Best Friends: It's way easier to keep track of your best friends now. You can make someone a best friend on your list by clicking the little medal above their picture. Check it out:


blog_111028b.jpg
 
  • Find your Friends Faster: It's so much easier to find friends, because now you can search for them. Just type in your friend's name, then send them a friend request. They don't have to be logged in to get your request!

blog_111028c.jpg
 
As I said before, this is brand new technology, so there may be some hiccups. We're going to do everything we can to make sure that it's running as smoothly as possible for you guys. Thanks for your patience as we continue to make Club Penguin even better!

Let us know what your favorite feature is in the comments below. And be sure to let us know what you'd like to see added in the future! We've got a few more exciting additions to the Friends list coming in the next few weeks...

Greetings Penguins!

Here′s a behind-the-scenes commentary on the unreleased ″Night of the Living Sled 4″ from Gord and Chris of the Club Penguin team!

Gord and Chris talk about the making of the 3 different ″Night of the Living Sled″ shorts, and what inspired the look of the mad scientist penguin in the videos.

Hello Penguins! 

In our last Reviewed by You post, we asked you for your best Puffle Launch tips and tricks. We asked a game designer to pick his favorite trick from the comments. Here are a couple different tips you suggested:

My advice would be if you see the cannon pointing up and nothing is there go up it. I did it once. I got lots of coins doing that and thats my advice for you. Isn't it awesome! So i do it all the time now. Waddle over to the pet shop and do it. Waddle on CP.

Remember, During a boss level, you usually have to defeat a flying machine. Instead of hitting it from the bottom or the sides, you hit it from the top so gravity pulls your puffle down and allows you to do two or even three or even four hits in a row! 

Thanks for sharing all the great Puffle Launch tricks!

For this Reviewed by You, we want to celebrate Halloween and Puffle Hats... We want you to describe the freakiest, strangest, zaniest Halloween-themed puffle hat you could possibly imagine!

blog_111014.jpgDescribe your creation in a comment below. Then next week, we'll randomly pick one of your inventions and a Club Penguin artist will draw it here on the blog!

Try to keep your comment as short as possible (50-75 words is best.) Can't wait to read all your comments!

Until then... Waddle On!

Greetings Penguins!

Happy77 here! The team is still hard at work on the new puffle updates. They're taking a little longer than expected, but they should be here by tomorrow!

In the meantime, I grabbed another sneak peek for you:

Remember PH the Puffle Handler? We thought she'd be a big help for new puffle owners. You'll see her the first time you care for your puffles tomorrow.  

Speaking of PH, what do you think her name should be? The team had lots of different ideas (everything from Paige to Penny to Polly), but we'd love to hear what you think. Let us know what you'd name her if you had the chance. :)

Greetings Penguins!

Happy77 here. Those of you that saw Billybob's video blog may remember that he mentioned an updated Puffle experience. Guess what? It's coming this Thursday!

I wanted to get you the inside scoop, so I asked a programmer a few questions about the new improvements:

What improvements has the team made to the puffle experience?

The biggest thing is that we've added stat bars back. Other than that we've added notifications and puffle emotes. If your puffle needs something, a little notification will pop up in-world to let you know you need to take care of your puffle. And if you go to your igloo and your puffle really needs your attention, a little icon bubble will appear over his/her head to let you know what to do.

What's your favorite thing that's coming out this week?

Stat bars! They really help you understand how different items affect your puffles and what you need to do to keep them happy. They work way better than the original stat bars.

A few people have asked me why penguins are bigger in igloos now. Why are they bigger in igloos?

When we updated the igloo puffle art we noticed that the igloo puffles had really grown in relation to penguins. In fact, they were almost the same size as their penguin owners! It didn't look right, so we decided to make the penguins a little bigger to match the new puffle size. We also think that an igloo is a penguin's home, so it should feel a little cozier than being outside in the world. Having bigger penguins seemed to help this.

What's your favorite puffle hat? ;)

The sombrero hat, it looks pretty funny!

Hope that was helpful! I'm really excited about the new puffle stat bars. Let me know what you're most excited about in the comments below!

Waddle On! :)
