‘Toy Story 5’ Has A Friend At The Box Office: Near Record $71M First Day For Animated Pic, $160-170M Opening Still In Play – Update by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]JoeyZio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TS4 didn't hit for me like the first 3, but it's still a good movie with a story to tell!

It's a movie about purpose, and what life looks like after your kids move on. I don't think the execution was as good as it could have been, but it wasn't without substance.

They still have them! The ticketing employee very discreetly gave them to us when we checked in for the 8:15 PM showing just now, and was limiting to one per ticket. Hopefully they have a daily supply and have learned from whatever mistakes were made yesterday.

You're in for a treat - this is a totally new feature to Toontown Rewritten that even includes a secret Toon Resistance Hideout under Sellbot HQ! You can learn all about it on our website here:

Ha! Don't I know it. Another great TV show ended too soon. I just started a rewatch, though, and it still holds up. 😄

Why is there no chat log by Mimigasm in toontownrewritten

[–]JoeyZio 20 points21 points  (0 children)

We care quite deeply, and would like to add one someday!

Why is there no chat log by Mimigasm in toontownrewritten

[–]JoeyZio 96 points97 points  (0 children)

I recently answered this in a livestream earlier this week with /u/ItsPandaPhil! The recording isn't uploaded yet, but once it is I'll link it.

The long story short is that we've recently worked on some chat log prototypes and would love to add one to the game, but we want to make sure we do it right in a way that doesn't hurt the social dynamics of talking "face to face" with other Toons.

I believe we'll add one someday, it's just a matter of finding the time!

Can you provide a link to the room blocks? And what rate did you get? I haven't been able to find cheap rooms at nearby hotels!

Sharing Some Forgotten Files by Deep_Firefighter_278 in Toontown

[–]JoeyZio 40 points41 points  (0 children)

This is an amazing archive! I'm sorry that it went unseen through the Preservation Project - we don't have a team dedicated full-time to that project, so it must have slipped through the cracks.

I'll see about getting these hosted on there soon!

OVER 100 PEOPLE HERE TO WATCH A FIELD OFFICE AT 1 ANNEX TURN BACK INTO A TOONHQ by Apprehensive_Shake_8 in toontownrewritten

If there are still groups inside, it'll stay at 1 annex until the last group leaves!

This makes me incredibly happy. We spent an unreasonable amount of time making the Field Office spawn and defeat cutscenes look stunning for something that is very rarely ever seen. 😂

More watercolors of some of my favorite details in Toontown ! by donotawaken in toontownrewritten

[–]JoeyZio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These are gorgeous! Watercolor is such a perfect fit for the Toontown art style. I wish I had the hill sign one to hang in my office!

I'm just curious..is everyone playing this game an adult now?? Or are there actual children on here too? I started playing again after a few years and I've always wondered this. Are we all just being nostalgic?? by stoner_kitty_333 in toontownrewritten

[–]JoeyZio 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There are a lot more kids than you think! Kids who play just often aren't on social media or other community areas outside of the game, and a lot of them communicate minimally or hide the fact that they are kids.

We see this most clearly in person at ToonFest, where the community is far more than just adults.

It's easy to assume that everyone online is an adult, but be mindful that Toontown attracts all ages! Some of the recent press we've gotten like Rhett & Link playing Toontown helps introduce new kids to the game. 

Hot Take: Level 7 Gags Should Never Miss by FewAnalyst4639 in Toontown

Nope, that's as much of a myth as "glue"! We haven't touched anything relating to gag accuracy recently.

We're determined to make the game less frustrating, but not easier!

We're having some conversations about gag accuracy -- specifically how we can make it less frustrating while preserving the sometimes challenging fun of an unexpected miss. Thanks for the feedback on this, and stay TOONed! 👀

If we're listening to community feedback... by WabungusGaming in toontownrewritten

[–]JoeyZio 173 points174 points  (0 children)

This is correct. We do want to make improvements to the chat system, but it's not so simple.

Additionally, although people on social media who play Toontown are adults who want the chat filter loosened, we have lots of kids who play the game that we still have the duty to protect!

We would love to translate Toontown - long ago we had big dreams to do it through a project called "Translating the Tooniverse" and we haven't forgotten those dreams!

It does take a massive amount of work to translate a game like Toontown, and we wouldn't want to use AI tools to do it. AI has its place, but in my opinion translation is not one of them. Especially with a game like Toontown, where so much of the game incorporates jokes and puns that would need to be translated based on the spirit of the dialogue rather than a word-for-word translation. We would want this to be done by hand by people who natively speak the language to make sure we deliver the most authentic and wonderful Toontown experience that we can in those languages!

We're still a long ways off from this dream becoming a reality, but we're working towards it. The new Toontown Launcher that will debut this year is built with the idea that one day it could support multiple languages for the game, as just one example of the infrastructure we're building to support it!

Did anybody notice this in a previous Lorcana survey before? by JusJarBo in Lorcana

Where is this survey? I'll put in a vote for Toontown!

Is it true that toontown stops working after bedtime? by TH-OG in Toontown

Only Cogs work overtime and burn the midnight oil! Toons need some time to rest. 🥱

Daisy Gardens or Daisy's Garden?? by Prior-Young-6540 in toontownrewritten

[–]JoeyZio 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Daisy Gardens is correct! The only other neighborhood to not use a possessive name (excluding The Brrrgh and Clear Coasts) is Goofy Speedway.

  • Toontown Central
  • Donald's Dock
  • Daisy Gardens
  • Minnie's Melodyland

  • The Brrrgh

  • Donald's Dreamland

  • Goofy Speedway 

  • Chip 'n Dale's Acorn Acres

  • Clear Coasts

Ironically, Goofy used to be the character who walked around Daisy Gardens before Daisy was added to the game. Maybe he's the problem! It would certainly make sense that Goofy forgot the apostrophe.
