Soft Launch

Friday, 04 August 2023

Hello Toontown enthusiasts, we are thrilled to unveil a brand new adventure that's been in the works – Toontown (in Unity), and today marks the soft launch of our alpha version.

Toontown (in Unity) is a project centered around revitalizing the Toontown universe within a contemporary game engine—namely Unity. We're thrilled to introduce an initial version, serving as a proof of concept, which showcases the potential of bringing Toontown to life within Unity (please note that the name is provisional and subject to change). In this alpha iteration, users can create an account, make a toon, and interact with others. Within this edition, the only fully implemented gameplay aspect is the maze game available on the trolley. Nevertheless, with the foundational elements in position, we are confident that the existing content sufficiently demonstrates the game's ability to grow in whatever direction we decide. This underscores the feasibility of crafting a complete game with the right team in place to back it up.

The core objective of announcing the game is to extend an invitation to prospective team members who share our enthusiasm for reimagining Toontown in Unity. While we recognize the current resource constraints within the Toontown community, we are firmly committed to identifying individuals eager to contribute to a Toontown project within the Unity framework. We are also open to the idea of aligning ourselves as a subsidiary project to an existing Toontown project if need be. Our primary roles that we are actively seeking to fill encompass game developers, technical artists, and team leaders.

Our game is currently playable, but not in a state that can support a large influx of players all at once. As a result, we're not ready to throw open the doors to the public just yet. As mentioned earlier, the main purpose of this announcement is to draw in others who share the desire to participate in the birth of a modern Toontown game. Nonetheless, we'll be launching a Discord server and offering an invite-only game server for playtesting purposes. If anyone's keen on checking out the limited content we currently have, we're more than willing to grant access to a carefully selected group.
