Hello once again Toons of the world, it's time for another well overdue Corporate Crush development update!

In my last update, I explained how every cog's model and poses would be manually updated to have proper shoulders. Though changing the models themselves is a simple copy-paste process, recreating every pose is incredibly time consuming and difficult. I've taken this time to focus on making each pose more in-line with the managers' personalities, though this also means development has been slow.

Since the last update, the following features have been added or updated:

• All of the Duck Shuffler's renders have been completely redone and reimplemented.

• The Cog friendship system has been reworked to better suit an overall story with each manager.

  • Different dialogue choices will instead only affect that conversation- though a Game Over is still possible early on- instead of skipping certain interactions.

• All references to the player toon's name and appearance as a horse have been removed.

• Pete the Pencil Pusher has been (sadly) removed.

• Main area backgrounds have been replaced with those provided by content creator Megasnoop. The affected areas primarily include the main playgrounds.

• Secondary renders for Flippy have been added to the Completion Ending.

• Development has shifted to focus on the Duck Shuffler and Pacesetter.

• Development on Deep Diver, Ye Olde Toontowne, Plutocrat, and Treekiller has stopped to better allocate development resources.

• The Litigation Team has been imported to Blender.

• Credits have been added.

My college courses begin tomorrow (09/04/2023) and as such Corporate Crush development will likely slow. During this period, I want to hear from you!

Below this update is a poll regarding which managers you would like to see have a main route in the game. At the moment everyone is on the table and- assuming all goes well- in future updates all managers will eventually be added. This is to see what the community wants so I can better focus on making those routes better!

Thank you so much for reading and staying with this project despite my period of silence. I'll see you all in the next dev log, until then Stay Toon'd!
