    • We will be releasing final fish models and final Shticker Book interface over the next few days. Until the final models are finished, the Pool Shark and Moon Fish are using the Clown Fish model.

SOS Toons

  • We are testing an early version of SOS Toons. Now, not only can you call your friends into battle, you can also call shop keepers like Flippy and Li'l Old Man in for help. Since this feature touches many parts of the battle system, it needs thorough testing and accurate bug reporting. We will eventually be integrating this feature into a future release. For testing purposes everybody will be given free access to these helpers. Just press the SOS button on the battle menu and play through as many scenarios as you can think of with your friends.

December[]

December 1, 2003 [sv1.0.9.2.test][]

Welcome!

  • Welcome to the initial prototype testing of Cog Headquarters (Cog HQ). The first Cog HQ released will be the Sellbot HQ, attached to Daisy Gardens. We are excited to be in the final development stages of this new area of Toontown -- but we have a long way to go, and we are ready for your help! Cog HQ introduces new physics, environments, enemies, story elements, and game play and thus needs great deal of testing. We feel it is close enough to start letting people in to this rough version.

A few things to keep in mind, especially for those new to the test server:

  • Nothing of what you will see should be considered final.
  • Balancing will change. Every system may get easier, or harder, and may change several times.
  • Story elements may be tweaked and rearranged for clarity.
  • Very little is polished - The interface, sounds, physics, and dialog will all get better over time before final release.
  • Temporary sound effects - We will integrate final background music and sound effects soon.
  • Lots of cracks or holes in world - Take screenshots and report. We are still updating all the 3D models to the new physics system.
  • No CogHQ ToonTasks yet - These will be added over time as we finalize the overall difficulty.
  • Textures, models, and code are not optimized - Your graphics rendering (frame rate) may be choppier than in other areas of Toontown. The game will be smooth at times and completely unplayable at other times. Please bear with us.
  • We may not directly respond to each individual bug report, especially if we get numerous copies of the same issue. But rest assured, each and every report is read by developers.

A Brief CogHQ Overview

  • Toons have been taken hostage by the Cogs! They are being held on the top floor of CogHQ. It is your mission to gang up and rescue them. Getting into CogHQ will not be easy though; their tight security will detect and reject any Toons that enter. You must build a Cog disguise first by recovering Cog parts from their factory. The factory is a 4-player environment with many new game-play elements. You can keep track of your Cog disguise progress with a new page in your Shticker Book.
  • Once you have your entire Cog disguise built you can enter the Cog HQ lobby dressed as a Cog. The Sellbot Boss is a very busy Cog, so the guard will not allow you to see the Boss unless you have important Cog business, like needing a promotion. You must earn your promotion by fighting Sellbots to collect "merits" around Toontown. Merits are given out after every battle just like Gag experience and are recorded in your Shticker Book as well. The elevator to the top of Cog HQ holds 8 players so when you are ready for your promotion, group up with your friends and head up to battle the Boss.
  • If you defeat the Sellbot Boss Cog, you will free the hostage Toon who will in turn present you with his "trading card". You can use these cards in battle to call on them for extra assistance in a tough spot. Of course, knowing the Cogs, they will quickly build another Sellbot Boss Cog, so hurry and get your next promotion to rescue another Toon. There are 60 total promotions as you work your way up the corporate ladder.

Summary of What is New

  • New Physics with jumping ability - now you can hurdle bushes, jump onto crates, and hop over small fences!
  • New Toon interactions - conveyor belts, stompers, gears, locked doors, switches, pushable crates, platform action.
  • New Gag, Laff, and Jellybean Barrels - Cogs have stockpiled all the Toon items they have stolen. You can recover them in the factory.

  • New Cog Boss enemy
  • New Pie throwing mode in final phase of Boss Battle
