Game
Toontown: Corporate Crush - A Toontown Friendship Simulator

2 years ago

Devlog 1 - Slow and Steady


Hello toons of the world! Welcome to the first Corporate Crush devlog update. So far the game has been in progress for about nine days, and out of those nine days I have implemented:

  • 91 unique renders, including streets, toons, and cogs.

  • 12 individual scene scripts

  • 6 individual game-over screens, one for each current cog + Chainsaw Consultant's override and one for Barnacle Bessie (Everyone's favorite NPC)

  • Several pieces of official Corporate Clash music and sound effects

I wish I could say I have a playable build ready for you all, but my development style is fragmental; A little here, a little there until it all fits together. For instance, currently Duck Shuffler's WIP encounter has 159 lines of code total while Prethinker- who I implemented a few days ago- has a total of 254 in his finished encounter from Toontown Central.

Prethinker is also the first cog to have "friendship rewards," where gaining the cog's favor will cause special events or lines of dialogue.


So far, the following cogs are added:

  • Prethinker

    • First encounter complete

    • Maximum friendship +2

    • Two possible game-over conditions

  • Duck Shuffler

    • First encounter WIP

    • Maximum friendship +1

    • One possible game-over condition

  • Chainsaw Consultant

    • First encounter WIP

    • Maximum friendship 0

    • One possible-game over condition

    • Override renders started

  • Rainmaker

    • First encounter WIP

    • Maximum friendship +1

    • One possible game-over condition


So far, the following toon/NPC encounters are added:

  • Lord Lowden Clear

    • Main appearance complete

    • May consider redoing renders due to technical errors

  • Flippy Doggenbottom

    • Main appearance complete

    • May consider redoing renders due to incorrect coloring on his muzzle

  • Barnacle Bessie

    • Main appearance complete

    • Game-over condition implemented successfully

  • Professor Pete

    • Main appearance 75% complete

  • Playground Toons

    • Barnacle Boatyard complete

    • Acorn Acres complete

    • Toontown Central complete


So far, the following playgrounds are added:

  • Barnacle Boatyard

  • Toontown Central

  • Acorn Acres


So far, the following easter eggs are added:

  • Small chalk drawing in the Toontown Schoolhouse basement

  • Toon created by popular streamer Megasnoop added to Acorn Acres

  • Peter Pencilpusher added in Acorn Acres
