An Overview Of Toontown Gear Grind
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 เม.ย. 2023
- Toontown Gear Grind was a Toontown server that I had taken part in from March 2021 to September 2021, and during that time my friends and I were able to create unique and interesting ideas for this game. Although the game never saw the light of day, I’ll show you everything that was made, planned, and what got done.

Responsible for the Pandora textures and other work towards Gear Grind. (I didn't mention toonjoey mostly because I didn't know what he did, during his time there. Plus he was mostly around during the 2019 - 2020 era which I wasn't a part of that much mainly just the 2021 revival. Apologies for not mentioning the work he did during that time. I wasn't made aware of what he did. I mainly talked about my time helping out)

Ya know what really grinds my gears? - เกม
All Fixed.
Those cog redesigns are awful.
Gold brick's original design with a Gold bar head and skinny cog body was better, Also i love the mingler's younger sister

I love the forecaster
11:18 bro just dropped an F bomb at a cog
There should be a Toontown where your doodle pet could follow you.
Toontown Realms?
The amount of work that could be done just by having everyone from these different servers working on Rewritten or even Clash, though I never bothered playing it, would just be incredible.
This was a very interesting server to learn about! It's always sad to hear when a new private server doesn't make it due to internal problems or not having enough support from the community. I still think all the concepts were really good. I also think there's always the possibility of certain assets coming to another server or project in the future someday, but I think the project was really good though.
IMO, people shouldn’t even try to create their own TT servers. I feel like you’re wasting precious talent that could be spent either joining TTCC or TTR (pick which one based on whether you wanna work on more unique and innovative stuff vs more classic/traditional stuff). Chances are that your server will probably never even launch, and if it does, it will die quickly. The TT community is wayyy too small to have all the dev talent be split up into so many different servers.
True, Event Horizon is definitely going to have trouble getting players when people have either settled into Clash or Rewritten respectively. Tooniversal, ODS, and Fellowship are essentially dead but still online for some reason
Preach
Agree completely
Let people do whatever they want. I promise people have said that (and still do) about CC before people even gave it a chance
And then we would’ve never had it if CC took this advice
The taunt feature sounds really good, I'm a new player in toontown and it sounds like a really useful feature in early game when you don't have toonup
The amount of content here similar to planned features for ODS is honestly frightening.
Hell mate, I wish a server like this could've come up. But then again, I only know rewritten
Have you’ve tried toontown corporate clash?
Or dessert Storm?
I think the idea of an area where there's the unused cog body part factories is really neat! I'd love to see what gear grind would *maybe eventually* do with it!
Really some good concepts here! Though, a lot seems to be implemented in either Rewritten or Clash already. And the community already demands so much from those two, that it's pretty much a guarantee that any other up-and-coming sever would be consigned to oblivion. And it is a shame that so many of these passion projects receive that treatment. The best thing I could think of would be proposing some ideas to Clash. Cause if the community can push for Toon-O as hard as they did, then I suppose anything is possible. But, who knows?
Hey bro. Just found your channel yesterday and watched a bunch of your vids! Can't wait for the next one! Love em
My advice is to sketech out what you want, first think of stuff of what gonna be the main taskline, than work on the cog buildings stuff and update task line that require to do the underground buildings, I think the new cogs should have been 1 update at time similar to coprate clash you need to drip feed due to being an online game but not for to long at least 1 cog update per year along with whatever you want to add
I honestly dont see a problem with the private servers that want to preserve ToonTown updating their models. Those model updates look really good and I feel like that was something that should have been the main focus for the server. I would love to see those models in the other bigger TT servers. That was a pretty cool idea with the new cogs and everything.
I love the kingpin, I can imagine it's head being tiny like a pin but with a crown on his head.
Without the crown it could be a pinhead XD
and his attack is a perfect 300 and he throws a bowling ball and it strikes the group.
Honestly, I think clash could adopt some of those cog designs really nicely.
I LOVE the cog designs and names!!! They all seem so amazing!!!
i would KILL to these in game i just love them so much
4:00 Respect for having that NSMB sky level song, I love it so much :D
amazing
Very interesting video. Watched the entire video without stopping it (which very rarely happens lol!)
Every time I think I know everything about the "private server iceberg", I'm proven very wrong. Wow.
Anyway, I think you died to overscoping here (trying to fit too many unrelated features into the same game). Definitely would recommend designing with better cohesion if you wanted to return the project (or work on some other game, as well) - like instead of doing "buildings, 32 cog redesigns, 16 new cogs, glove colors, weird battle mechanics, daily fish" pick a few categories you want to expand on and go all out. And yeah, having 4 ppl on the team is definitely an issue. In general though, it looks like a lot of those new projects have the same issues of "having a small team, but scope of an AAA project" (TTG died partially due to that, as well)
7:50 I don't think "releasing another Hires and Heroes update" would be bad. A lot of the time creators think "my thing is just worse than this one" mentioning something of a very high quality and you can make something slightly worse and still be it good enough a lot of the time, people play Hires and Heroes to this point still and chances are they would play your game as well, and doing nothing is worse than doing something here (at least in my opinion), although you definitely should answer the question of "why TTGG" while designing stuff
P.s. really shows that you need to work on a project like this to see how hard toontown development is 😊😊😊😊

AUHGHHHHHH I WOULD"VE LOVED A DAY AND NIGHT CYCLE I WOULD HAVE DIED TO SEE THE SUN SET IN TOONTOWN CENTRAL
The with the buildings I can see if there were 2 cog types one type is up the elevator, while the other is down
Perhaps before going to the final battle at the top or bottom you could back track and go thru the other path
Imagine a custom toontown server where you play as the Cogs and fight the toons and when you run out of laf or in this case biz you turn into one of the unused clown cogs and go insane until you can find a bundle of Cash which is the health pickup of this Server and the different toon species are cog types with you being created on a factory line so you could have a mover and shaker with the head of a legal Eagle or a skelecog loan shark where the head replaces the normal head of the skelecogs and the Tutorial Guy instead of being Mickey or Minnie IS the fabled Chairman
Missed opportunity to make the kingpin boss a giant pin with a "crown"

What a great video
Babe Wake Up! Anthony posted a new video!
It's back.
24:23 the weather forcaster shoud be the second sona tbh
YOU CAN SWEAR IN GEAR GRIND?
finally, a tt server for me
YOU CANT JUST DROP THE RAWEST COG DESIGNS OUT THERE AND EXPECT ME NOT TO REACT
FORECASTER HEART EMOJI
Can we draw and make fan art of the cog designs? If so, how should the designs be credited? The designs are so so cool and I love them so much!
Yeah of course!!!!
20:22
that is not a pawn my guy
So wait, you guys wanted to add more cogs without trying to revamp the cogs gallery first?
I tried offering that, mostly a redesigned page to have all of the cogs featured and cleaning up that section of the page or even at the very least a second page containing them but it just never happened. I had like a rough sketch of how I’d want it to look but no official work was done on it.
coming back to this video i found out i was asked to work on gear grind and i think i said no or just ignored it
PLEASE BRING THIS BACK OR JUST GIVE ME MORE CONTENT REGARDING THIS I NEED IT
What are the Forecaster's attacks
Gold brick's original design with a Gold bar as a head and having the skinny Cog body was better, And Then he Turned into a Yellow cold caller
hi
I am so sad this game never came out 🤕
I thought this was going to be about the gear progression in the game...
i need tghus back anthony
you dont understand anthony this is what i want from a server and it all went down the drain you cANT DO THIS TO ME
Trust me, if it were up to me I would've loved to seen this game finished or revived in some way :(
i honestly think panda3D is holding toontown back.
you could do so much more with a better engine like unity or unreal.
but nope just keep using the same old engine that constantly crashes
and reuse the same old assets over and over and over.
there is a reason why the original devs wanted to use unity for toontown 2
because it was better than panda3D.
they where actually able to make buildings be alive like an actual cartoon
unlike the cold stiff ones in panda3D.
there seriously needs to be a server made in a better engine
but people are too scared or lazy to remake assets and code
for a new engine.
regardless of what the developers of corporate clash has done
they are severally limited in what they can do due to the engine they are using.
even now the game sometimes struggles to load the street so you end
up seeing a grey void for a few seconds.
panda3D has aged very badly
it was fine back in 2003 but nowadays its not that good compared
to unity,unreal or even godot.
You're underestimating how hard making a Toontown server is. Think you can make Toontown server without Panda3D? I like to see you try.
@@iannations2543 lol no i am not.
there is multiple things when making any game.
assets and code.
the difference is that every private server would rather reuse the same assets to cheap out on work.
your argument is as strong as wet toilet paper.
no one needs to have made one in order to see how lazy every toontown server creator is being like.
just like a certain phrase.
"i am no botanist but i know that if you water plants they grow"
@@Boomrainbownuke9608 You say that Panda3D is holding Toontown back, but i don't see you proving your point. you basically want someone to rebuild Toontown *from the ground up* without considering just how LONG it takes to make a game!
@@iannations2543 panda3D is said to crash a lot by the one and only swag foreman or now named smokin' foreman.
the very creators of toontown went to unity instead when making toontown 2.
why? because panda3D was too weak for what they wanted.
there is a cut animation of the buildings moving during the development of the silly meter update.
why was it cut?
because panda3D is too damn weak
and because you would be able to see into the void of the street due to how all the streets are modeled.
clash freaking chugs when you load another segment of a street.
the engine is kept together with spit and ducktape.
and game development time is irelevant.
making a 3D model can take hours or even days depending on its complexity.
yet i was able to throw together cog head after cog head in 2 days and why?
because i have 11 years of experience.
since no one even bothers with trying to make a new version of the game i have to.
so you saying wHy DoNt YoU mAkE iT.
is dumb since the fuck you think im doing?
you would know if you hhhmmm where around on deviant art?
me posting pictures of cog models and ideas?
Easier said than done. People use Toontown's Panda3D source code stuff because it's infinitely easier than rebuilding an entire MMO from scratch, which is notoriously difficult if all of the countless failed Kickstarter MMO projects are any indication (especially since all Toontown fangames are required to be nonprofit, asking people to rebuild the entire game in another engine is just way too big of an ask for people who aren't paid)
The Forecaster does NOT look like anything Disney would add. Delusional.
Nuh uh he does too >:(((
lol u ruined the team
better than rewritten which has pronoun cringe
