Toontown Online Newletter 4
I just got it here is the news!

Cog Minions,
I am writing from Cog Headquarters, where we are taking the expression "You need to spend money to make money" to a whole new level. Our investment in Cog HQ has reached fruition and our new campus is on the first track with a value-added approach to improveing our facilities. Safety willl be the job one in our new buildings-please be aware of conveyor belts, gears, and smashing stompers. We are sure to exceed expectations and be in the black in no time.

At our annual shareholders' meeting last month, the board members and I held a panel to discuss to the Toon menace. Those creppy little crawlies are sure to attempt an HQ invasion and throw a wrench into our merciless plan to take over Toontown. Our approch needs to be proactive and we need to leverage our knowledge base. So go out there and play hardball-steal thier gags, think outside the box, act in a synergistic fashion and results-driven. Makeing Toons cry is good for our bottom line.
Signed,
The Boss Cog

P.S. Break time is over-back to work.

Taking my post from another threda, again, I hate to burst your bubble, but you'll be much happier with a completed version AFTER Christmas then a non-completed one now. No reason for you guys to have less then perfect :-)


Direct from the game notes...

• There is no reward presentation when you finish a factory, but you should still get the Cog disguise part.
• New Cog Merit system with 60 promotion levels
• No CogHQ ToonTasks yet - These will be added over time as we finalize the overall difficulty.

As you can see, there's a lot do be done just with the sellbots, but there's ONE important thing we have to remember..


"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.
• 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.

I hate to burst the bubble of those who are expecting this by Christman, but it's NOT going to happen unless some magical fairy fixes all their code to be what they want. This is why they added "Note: A release date has not been finalized. " at the end.
