Island Throwback: Jungle Party 2011!

Heya' Islanders!


Today, the Jungle Party has returned to The Island for the first time since July 2011!


To celebrate, let's take a look 13 years ago at the first ever Jungle Party on The Island, as well as looking at some never before seen work in progress pictures of the 2011 Jungle Party!

This is how the Island Central looked for the first Jungle Party. The Pet Store and Restaurant exteriors were both bushes, the Arcade exterior was a tree, and the Lighthouse exterior was mostly normal besides a hole in the entrance.


In the middle of the room, there were a bunch of trees, but a green pathway to lead you to an unused room. The little orange shack at the bottom right was a plant storage.

At the Marina, Fellys could plant flowers and build more land, which, at the time, I wanted to be an area for houses- That never happened, though.

Over inside the Pet Store, the entire room was green, and a greenhouse was built! To the right of it is... A solar panel? Interesting...

The logo for the party revealed that it lasted only 5 days, from July 1st - 6th! There was no outer-background advertisement for the party, however, there were two sneak peeks given of the party way back in June!

Then this one showing a bit of the Pet Store! If you're a player from way back in the day, you probably haven't seen these two sneak peeks ever since they were shared. Cool!


Now, let's look at some work in progress images of the Island Central for the party that have never been seen!

This was the original version of the Island Central for the party a little under two months before it started, drawn on May 27th, 2011. It is a simpler version of the room, but with many more trees!

A work in progress image of the Island Central... The trees were cleared out at the top, and the bottom area was being worked on!

The grass was made darker, for the most part... This was the final work in progress drawing before the official image was finished!


Well, that's all! Thanks for reading about the history of one of The Island's oldest parties! Don't miss the return of it, it's on now from May 21st - June 4th!
