🇧🇷 Olá, amigos brasileiros! Lamento saber que vocês não poderão mais usar o Twitter. Criei uma conta no 🟦☀️ para vocês. Se quiserem, podem me seguir lá. Até mais e... Pinguinando!
This is so beautiful - couldn't help but share. It was an honor to work on Club Penguin, but it's an even bigger honor to watch talented folks like you growing your craft and making beautiful new versions. Keep creating! Be the awesome community you know you can be!
While I'm disappointed to see that a bunch of internal Club Penguin stuff leaked, at least I guess some folks get to see the character sheets we made back then? I am so grateful I got to work with some super-talented writers, and the character sheets were so fun to create 💚
10 years ago today, we were celebrating the 7th anniversary of Club Penguin. Less than a month later, this amazing group of talented people released a new party that surprised a few players: Operation Blackout.
If you're looking for rare Card-Jitsu cards, the first and last sets are the most difficult to find. The original set was before the Card-Jitsu name, and they had the generic "Club Penguin Trading Card Game" title. This was the set I wrote and picked all the art/powers for in '08
In celebration of Club Penguin trending on Twitter, here is one of my favorite pieces of CP art! The "super map" some of you may have seen in an old Ultimate Guide :)
17 years ago you could apply to be a beta tester for Club Penguin.

Concepts for an "elemental" room, circa early 2009. We started on "fourth element" ideas way back then while we were planning Card-Jitsu Fire

The Club Penguin penguin design is cute, but it's certainly not the first cute penguin avatar in a video game. For example, here's a penguin sprite by Nintendo in 1984/85 for their Family BASIC cartridge
Today I'm proud to announce that Johnny and I will be finally doing something we talked about 10 years ago... The Moose and Polo Show!
More news to come on my blog. We are aiming to launch in October!

I'd love to host a Club Penguin convention. Even if it's virtual. Imagine all the fun nostalgia it could have, like live music! It was a dream I had back in 2012
It was 13 years ago that the world first met Dot the Disguise Gal thanks to this little DS game. "YOU DID IT! YOU FOUND ME!"
This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for all the amazing experiences I've had and the even more amazing people I've met thanks to these virtual penguins
These are some of the penguin characters I wish I could go back and fix. Each had unrealised potential imo. Are there any you would improve if you could?
Breaking news. Chris Pratt has been confirmed as the voice actor for "Brown Crying Penguin

One of my greatest regrets from my time at Club Penguin was not pushing back on the newspaper redesign in 2010. I prefer the simplicity of the original design 📰

's amazing work came up in my feed again, I thought I'd share it again. I miss Club Penguin. And I miss so many amazing times we had together (all the pain and discomfort and trauma aside 😂)
Since ol'

has officially shut down, here's a random old thing I made for it way back when I worked there as an animator/artist.
It was for something that inevitably got cut. 🐧
One of my favorite things we did for the community. We could have picked Spanish first, but instead we listened to our community and gave them what they asked for! I'm thankful for all the many amazing Brazilian people I've met over the years because of CP! 🇧🇷
13 years ago today, the language "Portuguese" was added to Club Penguin. Portuguese was added thanks to Penguins in Brazil asking for it, something big that really caught the CP Team's attention was when the Brazilian Community created a Penguin Brazilian Flag.
#ClubPenguin16
Today is the 16th anniversary of the launch of Club Penguin! And while I am sad that the world is not officially around, I am full of so much hope and optimism! Here's why... 🧵
I don't know about you, but I miss the charm and soul of the virtual worlds of 10+ years ago. I'm excited to bring back as much of that innocent charm and soul as possible... for our inner 10-year old selves! You in?
Here's a little
#ThrowbackThursday
since I've missed several Wednesdays now haha. Here's some unreleased concept art for a potential Card-Jitsu game circa February 2011. Guess which element!
My goal is to launch
@PlayPartyParrot
before it's ready. We will be launching with bugs and will improve over time. We just have a few blocker bugs to fix before we can launch this month

@PlayPartyParrot
is a virtual world FOR the Club Penguin community BY the Club Penguin community! From rooms to items to games to features... Heck, even PowerPoints, user stories, bugs, and improvements. Thank YOU for dreaming up a world for the next generation of players!
That's a wrap on season 1 of the

I've been looking at CP on Fandom a bunch to prep for my dream of making a documentary and book for the community. It's been 6 years since I worked at CP, and that time and distance helped me reflect a bit while reading...
A sad day back in 2017. So many of us put so much heart and sweat and love into this little virtual world. It must have been special if we're still talking about it 4 years after it shut down!
I've heard people saying we're trying to "replace Club Penguin" with
@PlayPartyParrot
. Honestly? There is no replacement. It was a specific time, and we spent (literally) thousands of hours building that product for Disney. Some thoughts in a thread 🧵
July 2009. The catalog would've been called "Tunes & Tales". We completed several books for it that of course are still unreleased, because we cancelled the project
#WaybackWednesday
My dream is to help and empower the Club Penguin generation to build the next generation of kids' virtual worlds. I believe there are some amazingly talented people in the penguin community
To those of you who collect(ed) Club Penguin stuff - thank you. It was an honor to work on that little penguin game for you, and it's humbling to see pieces of our work on your shelves. Waddle on!
THIS IS MY CLUB PENGUIN COLLECTION! (I lost some mini-Puffles and don't know where I put my magazines tbh)
I ALWAYS wanted a postcard from the CP team, a pin, Herbert's Drill and the EPF card game but they never were sold in Mexico :(

What was your favorite Club Penguin special dance/action?
Examples include pouring coffee when you wear the apron, or using a jackhammer with the hard hat on
Happy festive holidays to you, community. From all of us at
@PlayPartyParrot
to you! Thanks for joining us in the journey to make a new world together 🎄💚🎉
It was around 15 years ago that I was working on backstory & lore for Sensei and Card-Jitsu. I plan to pick up where I left off and branch my ninja ideas into a parallel dimension in
@PlayPartyParrot
. Yes, we will be making a card game. More news in the future
FUN FACT:
Sensei has a brother. To this day, we still don't know who he is. 🥷🏽

Fun fact: the "orange sky" in the leadup to Card-Jitsu Fire was based on how the sky looks during a forest fire.
We had a huge fire in Kelowna (CPHQ) that inspired this.
Here's is a crazy pic from Oregon, showing an example of how intense these forest fires can be!
Club Penguin development started in 2000 by

in his basement. It launched officially in 2005. Remember, it takes time to build a new product and an audience for it!

Rockhopper & The Stowaway had some grammar issues, so one of the books for the Loft was a deluxe revamp. The others were new books. A story ("How I Met Yarr") and a Mad Libs-style book called "Wing It!"
#WaybackWednesday
Now THIS is a fun fact! The Clock Tower is one of my favorite locations in CP, as it was all about community. A central gathering place. A uniter. Such a little thing but seriously so good and helpful.
I just kinda wish it was at the Iceberg instead
14 years ago today, the Clock Tower was added to the Snow Forts. It was created to help Penguins who live in different parts of the world, meet in Club Penguin at the same time.
