Toontown: Corporate Crush - A Toontown Friendship Simulator

3 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

    • 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


Thank you all for checking out the first devlog of (hopefully) many in the future. Stay toon'd for more exciting updates and reveals!

The whole squad is here!

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.
