Summertime Sandness
2014-06-23
Summer is finally here. Head down to the nearest public beach to enjoy the latest addition to the Popmundo universe: beach volleyball, beach tennis, and beach soccer! While at it, make sure you drop by a well stocked store to pick up some of the latest items added to the game suitable for the occasion. Anyone interested in surfing, or rescuing surfers, can check out two special credit packages as well.
The Popmundo office won't close down entirely, but we are going to try to take some time off to find inspiration for all the new things we've planned for this fall.
Enjoy your summer everyone!
Changelog from the game
2014-08-21
A set of new achievements for activities have just been added! They will be handed out retroactively every few hours, so don't call bug if you don't get it directly after finishing a game :)
Activities
In the community news Summertime Sandness posted on D48/Y75 6/23/14, team activities were added to the game. Dedicated achievements were introduced a couple of months later.
Activities are fun stuff you can do with your friends, or total strangers for that matter. If some activities can be done on public places such as park, stadium or public beaches, most of them are limited to homes—if they include specific rooms.
This section will show you in which locations & conditions you can do the 14 different types of activities, then will introduce you the details of each activity.
Activity locations
This table displays in which location types you can create and/or practice and activity. When it comes to a home locale, the third column displays what room is required to do the activity. Except for a couple of activities which can be done in a regular apartment, the other ones are related to special homes buyable with credits.
