Are you still with me? Yeah? Ok, let's go.įor a re-cap, Toontown's combat system is turn-based, with each side having time to select an action. I also think it's pretty ironic that the "Godfather of Game Design" made a mistake he warns others on not making, and never really fixed it.īack to the main topic.
It would be cool if this issue was tackled a little by the TT servers, but it seems unlikely. No game is perfect, and it's good to see what faults there are in games so you don't make the same mistakes others made. I just want to open your minds to something in Toontown. Now, I'm not trying to sway anyone into saying that Toontown is a bad game.
Toontown's core gameplay feature is fundamentally broken. Over time, I've drawn myself to a conclusion. I remade my toon from long ago, and, being older (and having no restrictions), got farther than before, but as my investment with the game grows with my knowledge of game design, I start to look at the game in a different way, mainly the combat system. While it still is a buggy game mechanically, it's still trying to rebuild and repair itself to what TTO was when it closed down. I've done this for good and bad levels alike.īeing a huge fan of Toontown since my run in with it back in 2005 or 2006 (I can't remember), I have engrossed myself with the fandom and Toontown Rewritten, living out my glory days. I've looked into different small levels, picking out what the designers did and for what purpose, or what they just didn't do. One key skill that all designers must learn is to analyze a game in depth and how it works to look at the backbone of a games' level, mechanics, and ultimate design. My love of video games only drives me to become a better designer. Wanting to go into the same field he went into, I've been starting to do some premature research myself, as well as make designs for games I soon want to create. His knowledge of the subject seems to make everyone look up to him. The game's main designer, Jesse Schell, has gone on to create his own studio and teach people about game design.
Even after it shut down back in 2013, people still got around to playing it with servers such as Toontown Rewritten, Toontown Offline, Project Altis, and so on. It was a huge game at the time for being considered one of the first MMORPGs to be kid friendly, and it still is. Toontown is a game developed by Disney Interactive back in 2003.
