Hello there, Bin Weevils!
Where the heck has time gone? It's already August and in this long post I will be reviewing and giving my opinion on the new August highlights post (on Weevil News). Without further ado, let's begin!
Where the heck has time gone? It's already August and in this long post I will be reviewing and giving my opinion on the new August highlights post (on Weevil News). Without further ado, let's begin!
Weevil World
Bubble Blast Game
It's great that finally the 55Pixels team released the first ever game to Weevil World, Bubble Blast. Now, players can earn game currency without the hassle of logging into another website. However, the Bubble Blast game has already been published, and I do not feel it is appropriate of the team to put it in the post, as it has already happened.
Buddy Messenger
Alas, the Buddy Messenger 'tablet' is now available for players. Weevils can now message their buddies and manage their buddy list without the hassle of logging into a separate website. Again, though, I do not feel it was appropriate to put it in the highlights as it has been available [on Weevil World] for quite some time now.
Clothes Shop
I am super stoked for the opening of the clothing store, as it will mean that we are able to finally express our weevil's mood, feelings and preferences through clothing - not just hats. I know that so many other weevils really excited about this. From the 'shadowy' images, I can see many different interesting clothes items - could we ever see customised clothing (similar to CP Island)?
New Summer Items
At some point this August, new summer themed holiday home items are to be on sale. From the preview, we can see five different items: a fan, pineapple stand, pot plant, slide and buoyancy aid. The 55Pixels disappointed me in July, as they promised to release new nest items (which were never actually released), so I'm not getting my hopes up...
Video Series Premiere
The new Weevil World YouTube video series will be premiered this August. In July, the 55Pixels team failed to keep yet another promise of a sneak peek of the video(s) which was very disappointing. In a conversation with Unicron7022, he hinted that the video series will be a 'help' or 'FAQ' series. Aside from that, I can't wait to see what the video series will be about, and whether my theory was correct or not.
Bin Weevils
Bin Weevils Summer Fair
Once again, the time of the Summer Fair has risen upon us, and a little later than indeed expected too. This will mean more thrills and fun on Bin Weevils, as well as a blast from the past at the summer fair arcade. I assume that the fair will be the same as the last year, as the 55Pixels team seem to be 'recycling' content on Bin Weevils so that they can better shift their focus on their other great projects and so that the talented team have even more time to work on them.
Hem's Haturday Continues
Each Saturday, Hem reduces one of her hats to only 10 Dosh and level-free for the weekend for Bin Tycoons. The fun was only meant to take place in July, but the team have decided to bring it back for another month by popular demand. I think this a great marketing technique to try and encourage more players to buy the membership packages which provide 55Pixels with income to reinvest into their games. Which hat will you be buying next Saturday?
Overview
Overall, this seems like a great month for Weevil World and Bin Weevils - and I'd love it if you could share your favourite august highlight in the comments below. Until my next major scoop, be sure to keep weeviling!
