Hey jammers! Today's new item is the Ice Block, a returning item from last winter and a popular den construction item.
What do you like to make with the Ice Block? Walls? Mazes?
Now for another video from supermonkeys (be sure to check out yesterday's!). This one was made by one of AJHQ's animators, Jason Keyser. My friend sent this to me before the Alpha video was published on the site, but I spaced posting. It's still interesting to watch though, there are a few deleted scenes!
Can you spot all the Animal Jam animation sequenced in that video? I saw some Alpha scenes around 0:40 and 1:00 and even Mira's spirit at 1:20! He also has some furniture/plushie designs.
I hope you enjoyed the behind-the-scenes look at AJHQ.
Happy jamming everyone, hope to see around Jamaa!
New art is posted on the Spirit Art mini blog!
first commment! ^.^
ReplyDeleteI have created a blog all about jamaa's history.
Delete(animaljamhistory.blogspot.com) It contains all information about the story of jamaa, the alphas, mira, zios, phantoms and the phantoms monster! Please check it out!
I have created an alpha fanfiction blog that gives background on many of Jamaa's mysteries, please join and comment:
Deletewww.animaljamphantombreeder.blogspot.com, and it contains the comfirmed legends, Snowyclaw's stories(i gave her credit), documents on the Alpha quests, and much, much more! Besides, I think that the phantom king is Apophis, Egyptian representation of Is'fet(chaos), because the video says that the PHANTOMS somehow killed Zios when they came in, so Zios must've been possesed and then broke free, but Mira cried because he was no longer good, and he died. Anyone agree?
I don't know....I really don't know if AJ would do that...Because there are 5 year olds playing, and wouldn't that be violent for them?
DeleteHmm, you have a point, but they did that sort of legend in beta, when they intended it for 6-9 year olds,but the part about Mira crying might be okay, as everyone cries sometimes. For the Zios part, I don't know. For your case, maybe he wanted to move on, so he erased his memory and left to create new lands, and he discarded his mask, but Mira didn't understand and cried. And for the explosion, they could've downgraded it to the alphas coming out of a portal and surrounding the phantoms with light, destroying them.
DeleteI dont get why people make a big deal out of first comment.
DeleteMT!
DeleteThe video was cool.Around 1:46 they show how to animate and make effects!
ReplyDeleteBut they didn't show what program it was, and they didn't show us how to make it move. So I think that it is basically just how to color special effects, but yes, that is very cool.
DeleteAll I know is that they used a microsoft computer.
DeleteI think they used Flash. Flash is very popular for animation.
DeleteFlash costs money or you get a free trial.
DeleteNice video.. I wish AJ would bring back some returning clothes items lol.. Even my storage dens are getting full
ReplyDeleteI wish that Animal Jam included the bomb scene in Appondale, and maybe added more of the roots surrounding the monster, because that's Cosmo's job. Also, it would be cool if they added a video accounting how the phantom's palace rose from the earth, and how the alphas struck it down before the phantoms could take over Jamaa. Anyone think that it would be more informative and a bit more fun for older players? I wish that they would speed up the alpha's arrival, even though Clark comfirmed that they will arrive soon...
DeleteI agree, but wouldn't it scare younger players?
DeleteExactly....As the video said yesterday, AJ has 5 year olds playing on it. We don't need more violence. We already have fighting clans where people fake chop heads off, do we need more violence? I have a strong hatred against AJ dating and AJ fighting-clanning.
DeleteYAY! FINALY SOMONE AGREES ON MY OPINON OF DATEING! THANK YOU MIA776!
DeleteI agree, but the scene where the phantom was ripped in half was gruesome, and even I, someone who is almost in middle school, can't stand that scene. I am strongly against dating,as it's plain gross, and some people do SEX on there.
DeleteSo yeah, the dating is gross, but fights are part of clans, and most of the people there are over 8 years old(i mean clans), because the concept of clans is sorta complex. Yes, chopping off heads is violent, but you could report the chopper, and say "miss" to avoid that, as they would get frustrated and stop. It's just people who think that being a warrior is bloody fights, but it's not. Being a warrior is defending your clan, not killing, as the warrior code says, it's just a misintpretion.
Look above for my comment on downgrading the explosion. And in the original legend, it said that Zios left this WORLD, but he didn't die. He probably moved on to found worlds like Ook(from Monkey Quest), and discarded what defined him as Zios and became a different deity. Mira was his creation, so she wanted him to stay with her, but by the time she rushed to save Zios, he was gone, and she cried and created the phantoms to bring him back. However, they turned on her, and she had to lock herself in her statue to escape.
Delete@ person who "We already have fighting clans where people fake chop heads off":
DeleteOnly Deathclan and non- WC clans chop hads off.. and I hate DC and non-WC clans ANYWAY... Madjaster knows and teahes te Warrior Code, whitch 99.5 percent of all AJ clans IGNORE or DONT KNOW ABOUT.. And the mates thingummy is just ROLEPLAY.. and little kids *Refuses to say DURPY little kids* leave when clans are around.. so they dont join Clans till like 9 or 10.. FOR MORE INFO ON THE WARRIORS ROLEPAY GO TO WWW.WARRIORCATS.COM. Its helpful to understand the ways of that .5 percent of good clans. my goal is to make at least 1% of clans to understand the Warrior code and to get them to NOT chop peoples heads off.. sorry for the long comment i get it from my dad XD
Wow.. I love it so much ^.^

DeleteIVYSNOW IS ON ANIMAL JAM RIGHT NOE SCAMING .. I knew she did befor with solid blue .. NOW I SEE IT MYSELF SHE SCAMS
ReplyDeleteWhat sort of scam is she doing? And by the way, that has nothing to do with this post, and you should just block and report her. You don't need Superman(or Snowyclaw) to take care of things for you.
DeleteHey dude you really shouldn't curse on here... Plus do you really think that screaming will help? Dude Amy Jiao did nothing wrong! She didn't know that you were warning people! So just calm down please... Lets all hope Firetigerx catches this scammer ok. Plus I know your just warning people about this scammer but really! Screaming won't get you anywhere! Now please apologize to Amy Jiao. (BTW Don't say "I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT!" Cause really? Will that get you anywhere...)
DeleteI agree with you, the third anonymous. C:
DeleteHAVEN'T YOU SEEN AMY STICK HER NOSE IN TO EVERYONE BUSINESS !!! SHE GETS WHAT IS COMING TO HER
DeleteI'm just bored, and most of the time I'm suggesting something. Besides, I have every right to reply, some people actually meant for someone to reply. I agree with the third anonymous, I don't really try to do anything wrong. I'm an honest blogger, and people might be spreading lies about me, but no, I am not trying to bully. Commenting allows people to stick their nose in your buisness, so just avoid it. And you might want to include a WARNING word in there, it sounded like you were babbling.
DeleteBesides, I've been called a hypocrite, so I have seen critique like that before. And besides, I don't scream unless I know it's gonna get me somewhere, or to express partial excitement. Right now I am trying to be polite and nice, and people think that Snowyclaw will report me because they hate my blog or what I do on AJS, but it's a plain lie. She has experience threats too, and knows what they want. And besides, as I mentioned, don't comment if you don't want someone to reply. That defeats the purpose of the "Reply" button.
DeleteDARKLIGHT67 US SCAMMING RIGHT NOW
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could join Scammer Watch, because you could sure help the blog owner of that, simply search Scammer Watch on the more blogs page. Besides, that is otherwise spam. Look at the reply above me to a simliar comment for more details.
Deletejosh54499 is also a scammer
DeleteI think that the cut animations actually would look good, and the part where the roots were enveloping the monster? They should use that as part of the story, that Cosmo binded the Phantoms that remained after the invasion, and he left Jamaa before the other alphas to bind the phantoms he found, and leave a "trail" for the other alphas to follow. Anyone agree?
ReplyDeleteActually, most of those scenes were meant for different websites.
DeleteI know that, but many look like they could be adapted to fit Animal Jam content. After all, Smart Bomb is a game developer. Most didn't look like they were meant for AJ, anyway, but most might look cool if they were put into Animal Jam.
DeleteI am bo-red, so I will post comments about Jamaasian stuff here, and no, that is NOT spam because I am trying to point things out in this post. First of all, go to iice's den to see a winter wonderland, and don't forget to send your emails/letters to AJHQ about the alphas and stuff you would like to see today! I think that the other glimpses were of other games Smart Bomb is making, and I think that they should include part of the other games' content in Animal Jam, the other stuff looks cool, and can be adapted. For example, for the video AJ should make depicting Cosmo's beginning, they should include him talking to butterflies, as the astronaut kinda did. Also, he should be included binding the remaining phantom invaders after the invasion with a single plant, and be shown binding all the phantoms along his lead to find the phantoms and leave a trail for his fellow Alphas.
ReplyDelete(to be continued..)
They should really add some content where we could explore a sky land, a spiritual world where the lost souls of Mira and Zios live now, and talk to them daily, and they shouldn't be robots, they should be staff managing what they say and taking feedback from players. Also, the part where the obsidian castle rises from the earth could be very possibly adapted to Animal Jam to depict the Phantom King getting ready to rule Jamaa, but the alphas strike him down and rip him in half. Besides, I wonder if we could have many, many more lands that show all of Jamaa, and no land unexplored, and I hope that they'll open up the valley, because it's been there for almost three years. There has been no new lands since Kani Cove in November 2011. Please reply and tell me what you think!
ReplyDeleteThat's a cool idea! I wish we had more lands....But from seeing that video, I know that it takes a while just to make a plushie, let alone a land. So maybe they are working on some sort of land!
DeleteAJHQ does not make a lot of new stuffs this year... ._. They always bring back from last year... ._.
ReplyDeleteWow, mаrvelous blog layout! Hοω long have

Wow! What an amazing video!
ReplyDelete~Lpiggy
It's a really good idea to make a maze out of them! I think I'm going to do that! :D
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know how many blocks it would take? And how many high to stack?
Deletea lot O.o well not really but it will take minutes or even hours i did that ones and i had 0 gems and i think it would be about 10 or something
Deletei wonder if you can get banned from animal jam if your reported alot. if so, lets all report solidblue02 and get him banned for good!
ReplyDeleteThat's mean! If he did something wrong you report him yourself.
DeleteI don't even know him. What if you are just saying he is bad when he really isn't.
Don't report a person just because someone says so. There is no proof that he is a bad person.
Well yea you get banned if ur reported a lot but what did he do? ( seriously tell me I really don't no lol) -notafan
DeleteHe hacks people without using a password, and he is dangerous for the safety of everyone's rares, even though they're just a bunch of pixels. Solidblue02 should be banned because he hacks often.
DeleteTo Amy Jiao:
DeleteInteresting, so he is a hacker. How do you know this? I am sure if he did take over an account he wouldn't say "Hey, I am solidblue02 and I just hacked you."
I am just curious how you know he is a hacker.
Solidblue02 has an unusual amount of rares, and other people claim that he hacked them. Also, the items on his animals are hard to obtain by scamming or trading, as they are kept onto most of the time.
DeleteTo Amy Jiao:
Deleteidk I think it's all speculation. I mean there is no way to prove he hacks unless he admits it. How would these people know he specifically hacked them.
I have a lot of real rares too. But I don't hack or scam. I just have been playing for a long time and collected these rares.
he should be banned
DeleteHow about innocent until proven guilty.
DeleteWell cuz maybe people have caught him hacking
DeleteIf solidblue is rly dis bad, we should ban him-notafan
DeletePlease check out our new blog.. We're all from snowys blog and will continue to visit and post here
