Fan Art 10 (A Pygmy's Nightmare)

Hey guys, check out some more awesome fan art sent in by our viewers! Take a look:



Speaking of a pygmy's nightmare... this might scare them a little bit, but I don't know if Davlan (Dave + Allan) would ever incorporate oldskooler81's idea of SPAM in Pocket God... but that's just my opinion ;). For those of you over at the TA forums, you probably understand this photo a little more (SPAM = Stupid, Pointless, Annoying Messages), we used to have some problems with spamming over there, thus explains the photo. Anyway, I'm babbling, take a look:



Hmmm, that's a pretty interesting food pyramid... Still great work gavinrotty!


This next drawing was sent in by katyah, and it features the Pocket God World if it were to be drawn by hand. Great work katyah (the dinosaur is awesome). Take a look:

This next photo was sent in by Pocket God-Junkie spidey146, and it features his iPhone's homepage screen. This is the definition of commitment. Great work spidey, take a look:


This next piece is by Cameron Bess, and it is just all around AWESOME! There's soo much to say about this piece, but I tend to babble, so I'll leave the interpretations to you, while I admit that I'm a sucker for a good pumpkin sculpture ;). Take a look:


Amazing work guys!

If you have any awesome fan art send it to thepygmyden@gmail.com, and I'll feature it here!

Fan Art 9 (Back And Better Than Ever)

Hey guys, I know its been a while since I've posted any fan art, so I thought I should change the "rules" a little bit ;). Instead of only posting 4 pieces of fan art I'm gonna post 5 in every post! So without further ado, here are some awesome pieces of art sent in by our fans:



Remember way, way back in the day when I chose my favorite 4 icons from The Pocket God Forums, and posted them, well... I forgot to post Saintsalive's even though it easily ranked i the top 5. So check out Saintsalive's (God of the animals) awesome icon:


For this next photo, I'm kinda glad I waited so long to post it because its always fun to look back and see what us viewers though the next update would look like ;). Check out Oldskooler81's interpretation of what the spider was going to look like in Pocket God:


This next picture was posted by oldskooler81 of the TA forums, and it's his interpretation of what a "1 year anniversary" update for Pocket God would look like with DLC. Great job oldskooler81!


This next drawing is one of my favorites. It was sent in by Pocket God-Junkie cameronbess, and it features a "mask" of a pygmy turned vampire! Take a look:


This next image is awesome because no one has ever done anything like it before for Pocket God fan art, and I personally think its funny and awesome. Check out gavinrotty's idea of putting a pygmy in Super (pymgy) Monkey Ball...I think it would make a pretty good crossover ;). Take a look:


Great job guys!

If you have any fan art that you want to be featured on the blog, just send an e-mail to thepygmyden@gmail.com, and I'll feature it here!

Stay tuned for Part 10!

What If...


Hey guys, I know it's hard to admit, but have you ever wondered about the end of Pocket God.1.? What it would be like? How it would end? What would happen? What the game would be like?

Well, personally, I have, and over at the TA Forums, we had a big discussion about it, and I gave my input on how Pocket God.1. would end. Here is my idea:


Personally, I hate thinking about the end of Pocket God.1., but if/when it does "end" (a very loose term), I would like to see this...

The pygmies find a lever on its own island once you flick them in the volcano 9 times in a row. There is a tiny piece of land, just like a clump of sand in the middle of the ocean, with a silver lever on it, with a red "handle". If you drag the pygmy to the lever it tries to pull it, but is unsuccessful. The only way the pygmy is ever able to pull this lever is if you reach Demi-God (subject to change) in every Achievement in Pocket God.1.

If by chance you do happen to reach Demi-God (per-say) in every achievement, then you have to flick the pygmy 9 consecutive times in the volcano (shouldn't be hard for a pro), and then the pygmy goes on the island, and pulls the lever, and then the screen pans out and you see the volcano erupt violently, and shake the screen, then lava rains down on Octopus Island, only, and then finally after all the pygmies on the island jump in the water and drown, and the statue crumbles, the top if the screen fills up with lava (like James Bond), and then the screen cuts to a drawing (by Allan) of a pygmy pulling the lever (the pygmy has the same face basically as the icon of "New Home", when he found the egg). Then the screen slowly goes black, and says, "Stay tuned for Pocket God.2. (insert name of the new Pocket God)". Then an option comes up after a determined time, and reads, "Click to keep on playing, or link to Pocket God.2. in the iTunes store."


That's my idea anyway ...



Comment below or e-mail me at thepygmyden@gmail.com with your idea, and I'll post it here!
Try to attach a picture (drawing, painting, computer art, sculpture, animation...etc...) of your idea as well, and I'll post it here :)

Pygmy Search Results

Hey guys, after weeks of looking for more glitches, trying to find more cool pictures, looking for news on the new update, beta-testing, and trying to manage the blog during this period of long-wait, I have FINALLY gotten around to revealing the winner and the answers to the "Pygmy Search" game!


Congratulations to Brendan for finding ALL of the pygmies faster than anyone else!

In total, there were 16 pygmies to find, and some were pretty tricky, because a bunch of you who sent in guesses, thought there were only 14, or 15.


Here is the Pocket God World with 16 hidden pygmies:

Prison Break: Battle From Within

Hey guys, I just got back from vacation, and I had no internet, so I couldn't post that much, but I'm back now, so here is the long-awaited sequel to Malcom and my Pygmy Adventure Series: Prison Break. Part 2, entitled Prison Break: Battle From Within.
The concept and summary was by me (swigo8), but the story itself was written by Malcom, and he did an amazing job! Sorry it took so long! Take a look:


Prison Break: Battle From Within


CRASH!!!
Ryan jumped out of his bed shocked by the startling noise. As he hastily got up, he tried to figure out where the noise came from, but then felt something gently touch him from under his bed. He looked under his bed and saw something very familiar... Ryan grabbed what was under his bed and dragged it under his bed lamp. Once he got a clear visual, he immediately dropped it as soon as he saw that he was actually holding a real pymgy!

"Hello Ryan, you know me right? Im your favorite Pygmy when it comes to torturing, right? After all I am The Boss... and being The Boss has its privileges," the pygmy said, "Tribe Nuwakuu, get Ryan!" Ryan, whom still could not believe that the Pygmies came out of his iPod, into real life, tried to move but couldn't. Something was holding him. He turned around and saw that the other 5 pygmies were holding him, and he realized that he couldn't break free from their hold, no matter how hard he tried! The Boss said, "Oh, don't move Ryan, we will just get rid of you slowly and painfully!"

Ryan screamed and looked around him to see if there was something he could use to get rid of the Pygmies, and escape without injury. As he looked around the room, he saw a ball, a bunch of papers, a heavy book, and a hockey stick. "That'll do," he thought to himself. He reached for the stick and swung it at the pygmies holding his feet. He got his feet free and stood up, went for his iPod, which he placed in his pocket, and then for the door. He quickly locked it, but the pygmies were breaking his door down using their bones, and slowly getting through. Ryan tried to think of a good place to hide... The School's Cafeteria, he thought!

When Ryan finally got to his school, he thought to himself, "Why did I choose to go here?" After rethinking his decision, he realized it actually was the best hiding place, and shrugged, then went to the cafeteria. When he got to the cafeteria, he saw mean, old Ms. Schwartz sleeping on one of the tables. He thought that if she caught him being there in the middle of the night, she would (again) shout at him. So Ryan tried closing the door to the cafeteria quietly, but instead it made a loud creaking noise that made Ms. Schwartz wake up. "Who's there?" Me. Schwartz crackled. Then she saw Ryan at the door. "You again? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?!" But before Ryan could answer, there was a noise echoing in the school corridors. Ryan pleaded to Ms. Schwartz, "Shh! They're coming! Quick, hide!!" "Why? Why would I hide? Who's coming? You'd better tell me right now Ryan or i'll give you Detention EVERYDAY!!" "Alright, alright, relax," he mumbled. "These little prehistoric people from a game in my iPod are heading right for us, and now they are out and trying to kill me!" Ms. Schwartz laughed, "Ryan, thats the dumbest excuse you've ever said to me. Now let me check what that noise is, it might be the police looking for you, you little delinquent.

Ms. Schwartz headed right for the door, and then Ryan heard her scream at the top of her lungs. There was a crash, a punch, and a loud thud... then silence. Ryan was hiding behind the garbage can, trying to see what happened to old Ms. Schwartz. "I wonder if she's dead," he thought. But before he could check, the Pygmies came barging into the cafeteria. "I gotta get out of here," Ryan thought. He ran as fast as he could while trying not to be seen by the savage Pygmies. Fortunately, the Pygmies didn't see him... but unfortunately, they heard him.

The Boss said, "After him, don't let him escape! Go wherever you think he may hide, now!" Ryan was now out of breath, he stopped at the janitor's closet and opened the door, but there was a pygmy inside! Shocked by his discovery, he ran into the science lab for safety. Panting like a dog, he opened the door again, only to find that The Boss was searching there as well.

Out of ideas, Ryan ran to the last place he would ever have thought of... The Girl's locker room. Luckily for Ryan, there were no pygmies to be found. "Alright, I think im safe for now. I gotta call for help," he thought. He pulled the iPod from his pocket to Tweet someone because he didn't bring his iPhone. When he looked at his iPod, he saw that the App Pocket God was still on... He tried pushing the "plus button" to see if any pygmies would come out, but to his surprise not even one pygmy appeared.

BAM!!! As Ryan tried to open up Twitter, the door to the girl's locker room was slammed open, and all the pygmies, including The Boss stood in front of him. "Get him," yelled The Boss! Ryan was startled because of the crash, and accidently he dropped his iPod on the ground, and something happened...

All the pygmies (except The Boss) started to levitate! The Boss said to his minions, "What the heck?! You're all still affected by the game?... Good thing Ryan made me Invincible awhile back..." Ryan tilted his iPod where The Boss was standing and the pygmies all flew into The Boss. BANG!!! All the pygmies collided and hit The Boss hard, knocking him to the ground.

Ryan quickly went for the door again. He checked his iPod and he saw that it had only 10% battery remaining. "Oh no! How can I defeat the pygmies without my iPod?" he thought. Ryan was trying to get out of the school when a Pygmy grabbed him by his leg. He screamed and looked at his iPod, then quickly performed the pygmy dance, and the pygmy let go, without a choice.

When he got outside, the Pygmies were coming for him. So he used the Statue's Easter Egg to get rid of all of 'em. "You Know You Like Pocket God!" ... The five pygmies turned into dust! Ryan checked his iPod and saw that the five pygmies were back into the game and were controlled by him again, as if nothing happened. But from the ashes of the dead pygmies, The Boss emerged, still living! Ryan quickly made one of the pygmies in his iPod go fishing,y and then overcook the fish. When the fish was finally overcooked, it disappeared from the screen and dropped from the sky in the real world. "This burnt fish is one of the ways to get rid of Invincibles," Ryan excitedly thought. The Boss was going for the fish, and everything was working out perfectly! The Boss began to lift the fish slowly, and drop it into his mouth, but then, all of a sudden, the overcooked fish disappeared out of thin air.

Ryan checked his iPod and saw that it had no battery remaining! The Boss said, with an evil grin on his face, "Hehehehe, now its just you and me Ryan!" ... ... ... ...



What will happen to Ryan next? How will he get home and put The Boss back in his iPod? Find out in part 3 of 3 in the Prison Break trilogy...







Part 3 will be written by Malcom and I as well, and will be entitled: __________ (To be Announced)

Release date is: ________To Be Announced (soon)
