Sneaky, Thieving Papoo

Discussion in 'Next Island' started by EP-Newsbot, May 14, 2012.

  1. Our release on May 29th is a smaller release, since we have just a couple weeks between patching in the Jungle Shorts, and the next publishing date for planet partners. This next release will include a new mission called Sneaky, Thieving Papoo, a couple new items related to this mission, and the Hoplite Sandals.
    Here’s a quick screen of introductory dialogue for this upcoming mission.

  4. Meg, are there still thieving papoos? I noted when all the major Next Island updates started, the monkeys stopped taking items (Crystals)? I miss having one run up to you and run away knowing you had to kill it to get back what ever it took - not really knowing if you did get it back, or it just had that item in the loot...

    Others asked me this question as well, and I told them that most likely the NI team did remove it to help ease the support cases and yelling at MA for stealing their items. :)

    This mission introduces a character who's angry after the papoo have stolen several of his things, and the player will need to help him out. The papoo won't actually be grabbing from your inventory.

    We may well do something with stolen inventory items in a specific challenge (possibly a mission or a special wave event) in future, but we don't think that losing inventory items is a relaxing island activity or an Elysian ideal.

    I have copies of MI lying around here somewhere. If I see a bundle somewhere, perhaps I'll pick up a few copies and use them for contest prizes or something :)

    I really should play them again, but it'll have to wait for now...

    Is this a monkey island sword fighting reference?
     
  11. Yes, I think it is. I always yell at the papoos saying this.
