Hello Penguins, Thanks for everyone's feedback on the behind the scenes video. We're working on some new exciting stuff for you this month. Here's a few of the many things we've been working on: New items at the Gift Shop - We're just finishing up the catalog. For those of you that asked, it should be out tomorrow. Get ready for some extreme sporting action. Here's a sneak peek:
More videos - Happy77 and the team are working on some more videos for you, like a music video and another Penguins Around The World slideshow. Let us know what other videos you'd like to see in the comments! Bug squashing - In our last developer update, we told you we're working on a fix for the orange penguin that's appearing for some of you when you log in. This should be fixed tomorrow, too. Top secret: for secret agents only - We're putting the finishing touches on a new System Defender level. I won't say too much about that quite yet, as the EPF likes to keep things kind of secret, and I don't want to spoil the surprise... Let us know if you have any questions in the comments. We're here to help! Until then... Waddle On! -Club Penguin Team
Thanks for the update Billybob :) I LOVE the Purple Helmet HOT PINK Snowsuit and HOT PINK Snowboard! These items are worth waiting for and I hope this extra day will give you time to make this Catalog 100% Bug Free :)
Rockhopper Island Map.JPG (I would LOVE to see that map and also one day visit Rockhopper there :)
Puffle Abilities (Cool :)
The Directors Identity (Who is the Director? Will we one day learn that OR will it forever be a Secret?)
Under the Iceberg (I would LOVE to Tip the Iceberg and find out what’s under there and due to this and the File name in the beginning of the Video I’m sure will will one day :) How to Tip the Iceberg in Club Penguin?
…Thanks Cheda1234 for telling me about this you have a GREAT eye for details :) Here you will find MORE Sneak Peeks from this Video Operation Black Out Sneak Peek :)
In the Official Disney Club Penguin Video Billybob showed us there is a Script for what might will be a New Mission! Operation: Black Out! The script is very blurry BUT I can read some of it!
Herbert: You penguins will never again see the light of day! Mwa ha ha

Behind the Scenes at: Disney Club Penguin
Lane
Fun Fact: Lane Co-Founded Club Penguin
Agents, welcome to the Elite Penguin Force Mainframe
Here at Club Penguin you’re gonna see some pretty important and top secret files but just remember I don’t share this information with anyone. Stay sharp agents. Good luck!
Adam Artist
Fun Fact: Adam’s favorite toy is LEGO
Here at the animation team come up with all the art assets for all the games, catalogs, rooms everything they see in Club Penguin that’s drawn is done by this team. My favorite thing to do here day to day have to be come here with new experiences whether that’s a new party or’s a new project or any sort of new experience to bring to the kids I think that’s the coolest thing we got to do around here. If somebody wants to be an artist or work in the games industry you just have to keep drawing every day so it takes a lot of practice maybe take some courses maybe go to school for it you really have to take it seriously treat it like a full time job draw every day keep drawing all the time.
Emma Writer
Fun Fact: Emma doesn’t like bellybuttons
On a daily basis we do things like writing script, copy for advertisements, newspapers, newsletters, ops messages, help sections, everything you see inside Club Penguin and on the website itself. I would say that the most challenging thing we do is juggling different tasks because we have so many different projects that we working on every day the best advice I can give to somebody who wants my job when they grow up is to practice practice practice. Keep reading and keep writing.
Cory Designer
Fun Fact: Cory is the tallest designer at Club Penguin
Design team is actually split into two separate teams so we have one team that works mostly with retail cards or gift cards you find them in the store the other team works on more the in-world type things so we work on logos for parties we also work on posters, the newspaper and post cards. The advice I would give to someone who’s thinking about doing this when they grow up is to definitely go to college and university there are so many things you can learn there that you just can’t do just by making things up on the computer. While you’re going on university definitely do your own projects and do your own type of work that is something you’re passionate about so that you can develop your own style.
Russ Programmer
Fun Fact: Russ’ favorite food is cereal
??? department in Club Penguin makes all the games you play online. First thing we do is come up with the idea. A lot of times we actually don’t start in the computer, we start in the real world. The most challenging thing we do on the day to day basis is also the most fun thing to do which is creating things from scratch and then solving problems. A lot of times we doing things that are new we never done them before. The advice I give somebody that want to be a game programmer when they grow up would be, one learn Mac, computers like Mac, two play lots of games so you knows what makes a good game and what makes a bad game and thirdly you should like puzzles. If you like puzzles taking things apart figuring out how they work you’re probably gonna make a good programmer.
Dave Game Tester
Fun Fact: Dave is afraid of Flying Fish
We test everything from the community section to the home page to new mini games and parties and even backend technical updates that the user doesn’t even see. The most exciting part of the QA job is the ever changing fast paced environment there are lots of projects and you look at new things every day. Any advice I would give for someone who want to be a QA tester when they grow up would be to be very attentive really like playing games and to be very detail oriented. You look at a lot of different things and you gotta make sure that it’s as bug free as possible before it goes out to the audience.
Mallory Support
Fun Fact: Mallory has a cat named Toaster
My job is to support the players so we answer their questions through phone and email. We have to know pretty much everything there is to know about Club Penguin. It’s pretty cool to be able to help people everyday and and talk to them everyday. If someone wanted to do my job I would say you have to learn everything there is to know about Club Penguin and definitely brush up on your typing skills because you gonna do a lot of that.
Well agents I hope you enjoyed this behind the scenes look at Club Penguin. What you have seen here is top secret and very classified and shouldn’t be shared with anyone. I wish you well on your future missions. Be resourceful, be remarkable, be ready!
