3 Poll Results



Hey guys, this week is going to be poll result madness and at the end of it all, I will announce our new feature on the blog, while also submitting a glitch post, and a "what's it like being a beta tester" post! I thought it would be cool to post some poll results from old polls to see if we predicted what Pocket God would be like in the future as well. So without further ado here are 3 polls I have the results for:




  • What is the next DLC?



1st Place: Your Mom :p 25%
2nd Place: Monsters 22%
3rd Place: Holiday Theme 17%
4th Place: Naming The Creatures 8%
5th Place: Sharks/Fish 7%
6th Place: Statues/Islands 6%
7th Place: Spider 5%
8th Place: Other... 4%
9th Place: Dodo-Bird 1%
10th Place: Doodle-Guy 1%
11th Place: Volcano 0%
12th (Last) Place: Meteor/Coconuts 0%


These results were pretty scattered, which I thought was interesting, but the 17% who guessed "Holiday Themed" were right because this poll took place before the Christmas DLC when The Pyg Chill update came out. ... And no, my Mom wasn't the new DLC thank you...




  • What should the next update contain after The Pyg Chill?


1st Place: The second part of the Ice Trilogy 55%
2nd Place: A huge anniversary update 25%
3rd Place: Pocket God.2. instead 12%
4th Place: A DLC pack for the anniversary 12%
5th (Last) Place: I don't want to know 1%

Well, 55% of you were right that the next update, Great Job Ice-Hole would be next, but the 37% wanting something to do with the anniversary of Pocket God were a little off, but I would've liked something for the anniversary also ;).




  • How often do you check the blog?



1st Place: Every Day 53%
2nd Place: Every week or so 13%
3rd Place: Hardly ever anymore :( 11%
4th Place: EVERY SECOND 6%
5th Place: Every hour or so 6%
6th Place: Once in a blue moon 5%
7th Place: Every month or so 3%
8th (Last) Place: Whenever I get a notification 0%


I was very happy when I saw that almost 60% of you guys check the blog daily or more :D! But for those who check the blog every week or so, I found that really interesting and cool... I was wondering how you read the posts then, because you would get roughly 5 posts a week on this blog, so do you read them all at once or just the ones you like? Comment below if you are one of the people who check every week or so.


P.S. The "trouble-making" piece above was created by gavinrotty, great job!

Stay tuned for 3 more poll results coming later this week with new polls!

Cool Pictures (Homies At Our New Home)

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been posting a lot lately, Malcom and I have been contemplating the future of our blog, and what new things were gonna do to make it even better. We've been doing a few things, that I can't just say yet, but its a HUGE change, and gonna be a big improvement, that some viewers will not like, but most will, and eventually everyone will come around, and see what the new "decision" enables us to bring to the blog. Anyway, more on that later, time for a cool pictures post dedicated to our new creatures on our newest home. Take a look:


Burn damn you, burnnnn!

"Close your eyes, I'm almost done..."

Mmmmm, tastes like chicken

Such a nice day to fish ¶ la la la la la ¶


Ugh... I don't think that's the best idea

Fan Art 11 (A Tribute To Spidey)

Hey guys, this post is dedicated to one of the biggest contributors here at the blog, a huge submitter of fan art, and an all around Pocket God-Junkie, Spidey146! Take a look at some of Spidey's crazy, awesome, and outrageous pieces:



This first piece is a play on the "Return of the Pygmy" icon, except a little more gory. For those of you with weak hearts, or queezy stomachs, look away now, and maybe for the next 3 pieces as well ;). Great work Spidey, take a look:


Spidey's second piece features...a Spider (lol). Once again he made Pocket God a little less PG, and a little more...well...graphic. Take a look:


This last piece of Spidey's (in this post) is a modified version of "Good Will Haunting's" icon, except he zombified it a little. Awesome work Spidey, but I think you made it a little too graphic... Take a look:


These next two pieces weren't done by Spidey146, but are still awesome!

This image, was created by superskatesman of the Pocket God Forums, and if features his perception of what Episode 29: The Pyg Chill would look like. Believe it or not he wasn't that far off besides the lack of Mister Chill, the Igloo, and our Christmas tree. Great work Skate!


This last photo is the new banner for The Pocket God Forums, and it is awesome! Take a look at our crowded world growing bigger, and while your at it, check out the new Pocket God Forums (Link on the left side of the blog).



Great work guys, keep 'em coming!

If you have any pieces of fan art that you want to see featured on the blog, send an e-mail tothepygmyden@gmail.com, and ill feature it here!

Stay tuned for Part 12!

Major News Update + "Spoiler"


*********************************************
*** Update: My idea for the update with help from a Pygmy Den-junkie***

I just got an e-mail from a fan of the Pygmy Den with his prediction of the update, and I think he may be spot on, or wayyyyy off...

His name is Gavin, and he said that he thinks that it will be like Doodle Jump, where you name your pygmies (doodler) different things to access different scenery and "easter eggs".

Playing off of Gavin's idea, I think it might be an underwater Doodle Jump-esque game and can only be accessed if you change your pygmies name to "bubbles" or something to do with water.

About the actual minigame, maybe if you get the pygmy high enough in the sky, when he falls he'll fall through an island and create a geyser that floods the screen, or maybe just goes down to a new underwater location.

Or maybe, there will just be a ship flooding underwater, and the pygmy has to Ooga Jump his way out (that would be awesome)!!!

***************************************************

Hey guys, Dave just announced (minutes ago) what the new update would contain (roughly), and how iot might influence the Pocket God game completely.

Here is his direct quote (do not read ahed if you do not want to be "spoilerified" (I know the word is spoiled but I like this more ;) ). He is speaking about what the next update will contain:


"its a new mini game with a new underwater location. and a new feature that everyone will like. it's a unique feature to the game. building off the way you can name pygmies."



My guess is as good as yours because we beta testers have not received any news or builds on the update yet, so we are completely in the dark!

...A new mini-game, hmmmm.

  • Rolando?
  • Minigore?
  • Lost-themed?
  • Impossible Quiz?
  • The Creeps?
Your guess is as good as mine. Comment below with your predictions and ideas, and I'll keep you updated on the beta tester news, and the public's news.

P.S. The updated Pocket God World can be found in the post below this!
