how long have you been playing toontown? what's your fave fangame? lemme know!!! 🏳‍🌈🏳‍⚧

I remember first playing this as a kid and the cogs terrified me. One time I looked around the city and see all the buildings that had changed from bright colors to grey and think to myself “we’ve lost” and stopped playing

Toontown is such a great example of harnessing the power of nostalgia for something more than brief reminisce. It's like handing an old toy down to a cousin for them to stitch back up again. It's something I don't see a lot of people talk about, but it's quite amazing to see.

Loved this game as a kid, tried rewritten but the “grind” aspect was much more tedious and less fun once I got older. Still have so many fond memories and shoutout to TTR (and all the other fan generated revivals) for keeping it alive!

Great video! We're super glad to hear how intuitive you felt the build tools were. The ones you used were actually just very recently released and were a complete overhaul of what was there before. We spent so much time overhauling them and we're delighted to hear that! Keep up the good work!

Im so glad the youtube channel "Planet Clue" has finally uploaded their very first youtube video

Anyone else miss the 2000’s era of online mmo’s? Todays kids will never know what it’s like 😔

ive always enjoyed toontown rewritten because it gave me a chance to explore og toontown when i didnt have a chance to before it shut down, i thank the ttr devs for the good experience! ❤

i remember i was about to be going into middle school when rewritten first came out and I met a lot of amazing people on the game just casually talking while fighting cog buildings and stuff. One was a college student I asked if middle school would be scary, and he told me not to worry and savor it, and wishes he could be in middle school again (being in college myself now im 100% agree lol). Another one was a father who remade the toon his son made for him in the original game. He would always help me with my toontasks when I asked and was very sweet. I hope they're doing well 10ish years later.

Growing up with toontown has undoubtedly shaped who I am. When the original TTO went down and everyone and their mom was making their own private servers, I taught myself Python because I wanted to make my own. Fast forward 6 years, and I started college for game design. Even as I stray from that path, the story of toontown's revival is something I hold close to my heart.

Good video! I’m actually one of the people you mentioned who learned how to draw because of toontown! The community is so creative and I find it personally very artistically inspiring.

very refreshing to find a toontown video that actually talks about all the different fangames there are, theres a ton of passion in the community and its really nice to see it recognized!

I really enjoyed this video, and you hit the nail on the head during your conclusion. As someone who has created Toontown content for over a decade, there really is something truly special about this particular corner of the internet that has kept me engaged throughout my life. People have made lifelong connections, volunteers have learned valuable skills to carry them forward in their careers, and players continue to look forward to current and future innovations that are crafted by passionate community members. Thank you for spending so much time and effort in highlighting this community at large!

Been playing toontown since 2007 when I was 3. Taught me to read and count, now I'm 19, turning 20 next April. Toon has been my favorite IP alongside roller coaster tycoon/planet coaster, and I still playing like 4 times a month when I get time in college. Crazy.

I've been wanting to make a GameCube port of Toontown because the ethernet adapter exists and I feel like the GameCube is probably powerful enough to do it.

Great video! I've literally been playing Toontown basically since I was born, and I'm turning 19 in two weeks. It's probably my favorite IP of all time and it's so cool to see you talk about it! Personally, I'm a huge fan of both Rewritten and Corporate Clash. I don't understand why people think they need to be separate. To put it in rogue-like terms, Rewritten is Risk of Rain Returns and Corporate Clash is Risk of Rain 2. Completely different but equally enjoyable experiences. Toontown Rewritten is best for when you just want a classic, quality of life Toontown experience and Clash is best if you want something fresh and new. My only issue with Clash is purely that I think way more people should play it, its so hard to find groups lol I've never tried any other Toontown games, but I'm super interested in Funny Farms and Operation Dessert Storm (if development is still ongoing), and I'm so keeping an eye on Event Horizon's development. Thanks for the recommendations, and keep up the great work Clue!

holy shit Mario's mystery meat AND corporate clash mentioned in one video? my brain worms are eating good today

Man I have such strong toontown and toontown rewritten memories, mostly since my addiction to it led to me getting grounded several times as a kid lol. I had played the game on and off for years, and had only just found out about corporate clash this year. It sucks that nowadays I’m more socially anxious and it’s hard to play and to find the motivation to keep playing an MMO alone, but I find both Rewritten and CC to be both great at keeping the toontown spirit alive

This reminds me alot of those Old School Runescape modded servers (can't remember the names) back in the day where they'd rework game system to be different. I remember I'd play them a bunch because they gave me cool member stuff that I couldn't use on my actual account. It's nice to know the ToonTown community is so full of talented people

Its great to see another video focusing on the Toontown community. I appreciate having more emphasis put on servers other then Rewritten such as Clash, Realms, ODS and what not. The community has evolved over the years in terms of progress, with the last 1-2 seeming to be the upcoming of a kind of golden age for Toontown with the released 1.3 Clash update, upcoming 2.0 update for Clash, and rewritten's announcements for their huge expansions. Heck, I personally volunteer as a developer for Event Horizon and you taking about how Toontown has been a creative outlet for many spoke volumes on your the research you did on the community. The fan servers have been alive longer then the original at this time, and i'm hoping to see Toontown just get better both in terms of tools for the community to use such as open-toontown plus more content that makes Toontown stand out as a fan project as a whole compared to others that simply keep the OG up and running without modifications (let me be honest, Toontown's core gameplay gets stale fast). Seeing people appreciate that kind of work that goes into that is a nice surprise all in all.

I honestly do not know where I would be without Toontown, I've worked for both Event Horizon and Operation Dessert Storm and even made a music pack for Clash. The conections, art and music I have made have truly changed my life in many wonderful ways. Thank you for your kind words and criticism!

I'm so happy about this video!!!!! Toontown has been my primary special interest since I was 4. I remember falling into a 4th grade depression when TTO closed, and waiting hours and hours to see if I could get into the Rewritten beta testing. I'm now finishing up maxxing two of my toons on TTR and I'm maybe 1/4 of the way through TTCC after starting earlier this year. All that to say, this is such a great video! The sound effects, the music, the transition from the early 2000s gameplay to modern gameplay, it's all so high quality and interesting to watch and it just made me feel great overall!! I love that you featured fangames that aren't as popular, I've never heard of some of them before! I found Dessert Storm a few years ago and was so excited for it to be something fun and special and like a darker twist on the story, but I agree, it was such a letdown after the intro. I'm really thrilled about Event Horizon and anything and everything else that is still yet to come! I'm someone who learned to draw because of Toontown, actually. I was always so in love with the toony proportions and over the too environments that it's impacted my own style immensely! I've been toying with the idea of making my own slightly alternate universe Toontown comic, and after seeing all the fans drawn to this video, I feel more inspired than ever now!! So yeah, sorry this is so personal and long winded lol but this video was just so fantastic and I'm super glad that TT has touched so many hearts just like my own :)

FANTASTIC video!!! i really hope this brings in a new wave of toon town players for all the fan games mentioned. i love your work, it was delightful to watch the like counter tick up while i watched. i hope this one does numbers for you!!

I've never played this before and this video made me cry in joy, humans fucking rock

I used to love toontown! Me and my brother used to play on computers next to each other and battle together. We actually had found a glitch at some point that let us go into the premium zones for free, the box telling you to pay just never went away. We fought more fun cogs that way, but I'm not sure if it granted exp? I remember loving playing the minigames too :)

I love all your video essays and how sincere and gentle it all is

I watching this channel because it gives me a taste of something i love that i will never experience because i wasn't born at the time. Keep making amazing content as always(if you want to keep making content) you're a big inspiration to me and alot of other too. You're amazing :)

Animal Jam, Spirit Animals, Club penguin were my childhood.

I’m so happy so many more people are talking about ToonTown Online’s existence.

the quality of your videos are insane!!!! fantastic editing, super engaging to watch

Concept artist for Event Horizon here! It was honestly surprising to see us mentioned! We are all so passionate about this upcoming project and putting in our all to create a unique Toontown experience with new mechanics, battle system, and enemies. I honestly can't wait for the community to fully experience what we've been cooking up ♥️

Thank you for the excellent video giving TTR a fair shot. Love your videos

I only found planet clue like a week ago and I’m not even gonna like this channel has become my favourite, from the commentary and humour to the nostalgic vids, I aint even played toontown but imma watch this cause I love the content

Yes you’re back!!! I’ve always loved your content and I’ve been waiting for your next vid and I’m so glad it’s here. And too toontown is awesome. I was first introduced to it from Peter knetter’s videos and I’m glad you’ve looked into it and its remake Sinse I’ve always been into mmo remakes.

Toontown puts me in awe. As a worm my mom played a lot of Toontown and even I played a little. I never got past Toontown Central, but my mom ground through the whole game and seeing all the weird areas and cog lairs gave me major interest. Right now I'm waiting for Rewritten to finish it's new Playground and Cog Dungeons but otherwise I'm really interested in going back in!

what a wonderful video! i played toontown back in the early aughts (2006? 2007? it's been a while), and i came back to it as an adult, starting with rewritten. i've grown the most fond of tooniversal studios (which i am SO glad that you mentioned), but the footage in this has me tempted to check out corporate clash for the first time... i'll have to try it out soon. thanks for the fantastic peek into this fun corner of the internet :] (also, telling people they stink wouldn't be very toony of you)

Amazing Video Keep Going KKClue!

HAHAHAHHAHAHAH EVIL VILLAN LAUGH you post this at the CUSP of my TTCC hyperfiction. I actually jumped around and screamed when i saw this in my feed, thank you for giving witness to the Delight The Beloved Toontown :))))))))) the autism is autisming hehe I was introduced to it about 1/2 years ago, where i downloaded cooperate clash but didn't make an account... this year i finally made one and this silly game has HIT ME LIKE A TRUCK. i love all the manager bosses that version adds (especially Rainmaker!) and have been playing since!!! toontown is a wild west of tons of fangames, and i'm excited to see where the community is headed!!! keep making funky stuff, love your videos, rock on 🏢⚙🥧⚡

I think I started playing around 2009-2010, and then have played Rewritten on and off since then. I have a few toons that have finished the main task line and have fairly high suit level, i could never be that bothered to grind to level 50 (although rewritten are changing that). One interesting thing that happened in the early days of the fan servers was the initial server 'rivalry' in the 2 years after the original closed. Rewritten was very popular and so they had a booking system if you wanted to play at the start. The main competing server at the time was Toontown Infinite who also had a strong playerbase and no restrictions on play time. Unfortunately there was some controversy surrounding the developers of the game and it quite abruptly closed (which was a shame as I had made it past Lil Oldman by that point for the first time post TTO).

from my standpoint it’s less “death and rebirth” and more: the casket is being lowered into the ground and before it can get down there someone yells “WAIT! THEYRE STILL ALIVE” and then the person who was presumed dead (toontown in this case) just lifts up the top of it and also there have been several clones of them made and they’re all just stuffed in the casket like it’s a clown car

im glad more people are finally talking about this gem of a game, been with me for 13 years of my life on the official & fan run servers and im glad people are keeping the life of this game alive

a family member of mine is on the corporate clash team and its always so nice to hear about updates in advance because even though i don't play toontown anymore (i did as a kid and introduced this family member to the game way back when before the og games closure) i just know every single time i hear about something new in the works, it's gonna send the playerbase (excited) hysterics

Haven't watched yet but what a coincidence! I've been subbed for a bit and literally within the past month or 2 got SUPER into TTO again. Excited to watch! :)

Its always a great day when clue uploads.

Was having a really shitty day today but new clue upload instantly brightened my day. Thank you😊

while i never played toontown during its official run, i have vivid memories of playing the beta when i was 7 years old. i remember running through donald's dock during server maintenance and seeing the entire world slowly blink out of existence around me one texture at a time as i ran in place. i also remember meeting another kid who was playing with his dad. it was one of my earliest gaming experiences, and since then i've always liked playing mmos. i used to beg my mom to get me a subscription but i guess a wow sub on top of two asheron's call subs for my older brothers was enough & she didnt want to pay any more. in the past few years i've gotten back into the game w toontown rewritten. all the music and sounds are so nostalgic. i even had a moment while playing corporate clash a while ago that was like reliving my nightmare of running through the endless void of donald's dock. i love this game lmao

Three days late to the party but I’m enjoying learning about something I never knew about being brought back to life by its fans. That’s such an epic win!

Another wonderful video. Love the way you handle the green screen format too.

I was a bit late to seeing this, but… WOW! The new outer space theme is so cool!

I still play ttr to this day big shout out to ttr team for keeping it alive with thier own money for all those years without getting any kind of profit from it

i really like the new space theming youve got going for your channel :] and also YAAAAY FREEREALMS MENTIONED

clue video about toontown this is the greatest day of my life

This literally could not have dropped at a better time. My chest has been tight with anxiety tonight and a kk vid is just what I need to correct the vibes. ♥️

I love when youtube recommends me exactly what i need❤

one thing i’ve found super interesting about toontown online is that it was an immensely popular MMO but it has so much lost media. i’ve had several people recall and debate on certain aspects and items in the game. such as people saying minnie’s melodylands spinning carousel was only in beta but i saw it after the fact when i played as a kiddo. that’s one example and there’s many more but i find it very interesting and it makes me think of all the lost media from video games and stuff from the internet that was prevalent in the early 2000s

I have so many fond memories and summers on toontown! I would actually get those giftcards to do the monthly subscriptions to get the fancy fonts on my tags. I remembered the glitches, i remember the glitched houses people would have where they created obstacle courses out of bounds using furniture, i remember people glitch teleporting themselves inside the the window at the command center place and rp as pets to be adopted. I even remember watching videos on youtube about Leaf Clan and wanting to join so bad (basically you make a green character and name yourself with the word “Leaf” in it). Someday i’ll make a Mary Von Meow II EDIT: wow corporate clash and dessert storm sound so cool, i gotta check these fangames out!

I am always so shocked I never played Toontown growing up. I played Maple Story, Moshi Monsters, Stardoll, Neopets, Webkinz, Runescape -- sooo many more. I wish I'd played it back in the day!

Toontown holds such a special place in my life because it represents so much of my childhood memories playing games on my computer in my dad's office. In my teen and adult years I'd play both Rewritten and Corporate Clash and fell in love with both. While I've stuck with Corporate Clash nowadays, I agree that we shouldn't have to choose one or the other. There's so much creativity amongst all the Toontown fans and this video helped me learn about all the cool stuff happening in the fandom. I'd never even heard of stuff like Sunrise Games or Event Horizon and honestly, I really wanna check em out now.

Ahhh my toon was named “Good Ole Picklesticks” and it’s still a term of endearment I use to this day 😂💕

probably my earliest online gaming experience

This video is a breathe of fresh air. Great job!

Man, I remember seeing the ads for ToonTown ages ago, but having overly protective parents & barely any access to the internet, I never got to play. Thanks for a bit of closure 😅

AYYY A TOONTOWN VIDEO!! I've been playing ToonTown Corporate Clash a lot recently and have been having a BLAST!! I recommend it :]

LETS GO NEW CLUE VIDEOOOO

i like this video. struggling to conjure specific thoughts on the matter but i liked it a lot.

I think I played toontown once(?) in my lifetime, but I'm glad that the fandom is thriving to this day 🥹 disney japan has the best merch tho, I wish disney us can import more of their collections from time to time

Me watching this while playing toontown.... oops toontown never left me! I played this game back in the mid 2000s and i still continue to play it, in fact a lot of my life and friends are friends i made in this game.. I've had some of the best and worst memories revolving this game, but regardless I wouldn't have it any other way. Toontown and the friends I made beginning around Rewritten's Alpha and my irl friend who got me into it, y'all rock. 😎 Great video and well said honestly :D I mostly frequent Rewritten and Clash, they both are super fun :)

The new name and set up looks amazing!

I've been seeing a ton of stuff on corp clash the summary you gave on it reeled me in even if I never played Toontown gonna def check out the other Toontown fangames you mentioned!!!

I started playing corporate clash again recently and I can already see the increase of players since this video dropped!

thanks for getting us into corporate clash with this, you do incredible work and this is a DELIGHTFUL new format

I didn’t even realize that You changed from KKClue to Planet Clue until now, w rebranding and great work clue

Yo, I'm super looking forward to Toontown: Event Horizon! Toontown in space is cool enough on it's own, but I saw hidden behind you when you were going over the art (and proceeded to go to the site to double check) they're gonna have *dragon toons*. That is just the coolest thing ever to me, and I feel like I'm a little kid again.

oh my god i JUST got back into my toontown hyperfixation you couldn’t have released this at a better time

Always a good day when Clue posts

god i love that outro planet clue is AWESOME

Great video🎉

I honestly only knew that the composer for this game did the music for Metal Gear Rising coming in, but honestly, this is neat.

I tried this and Club Penguin, but in the end, club penguin kept my interest a bit better. But I can remember really fond memories of playing ToonTown with my classmates/friends crazy nostalgia moment, thanks for reminding me!

I'd love to see you do a video on animal jam, no idea if you played it or not but it was one of my favourites as a kid, very cool trading network (thats crazy complicated now) and kind of interesting world lore (yes there is indeed lore, the adventures are my favourite part) and the soundtrack is genuinely REALLY good

kkclue on their way to make the best videos of all time

Toontown Corporate Clash mentioned let's go--

i was always so fascinated by toontown online as a kid, but by the time i got even decent quality internet at my house, i was already obsessed with aqworlds and eventually moved on from mmos to tumblr and youtube being my main internet consumption as a teen. i vividly remember seeing the commercials for toontown as a kid and wishing i could play it, but then i realized not only did i not have internet, but i also had to pay and my hopes were swiftly crushed.

Toontown Online vs Toontown fan servers is basically “so glad I grew up with this, but damn this is better”. Pretty much the perfect representation of it.

y'know, its very ironic that disney of all people made toontown online.

17:22 which was based on the 1988 film who framed Roger rabbit

Corporate Clash is my favorite one to play- and it's the only one I do play now. I'm glad it got mentioned!!! I owe a lot to Rewritten though. I wasn't allowed to play tto as a kid (i had been begging for club penguin memberships LOL) so i was actually able to play bc of rewritten.

I’ve been playing TTR so much recently, but this video just convinced me to try corporate clash!

I remember trying to play toontown as a kid but the laptop I had access to wasn’t powerful enough for it. I don’t remember how old I was at the time but I remember exactly where I was: my grandparent’s kitchen table. Still, I loved the video even if the biggest nostalgia for this game I have is the ads that played on Disney Channel ❤

I actually got into toontown because of my friends playing corporate clash! It is very epic! also really excited for event horizons that’s still in development!

So, I've seen this video making the rounds in the Toontown community... I gave it a good watch, and it do be quite nice. Definitive like from me. 😄👍

GOOD VIDEO, IM SUBCRIBED

Toontown video ahdjgjvidquaudu The Toon Resistance logo is gonna be my second tattoo after the VFD eye because Online and Rewritten shaped my childhood and adolescence so much

Just to let you know, Toontown Fellowship is 80% based on Toontown Infinite's source code, so mooost of it is not original. While Clash has significantly more major content rewrites than Toontown Rewritten, Toontown Rewritten has been undergoing some major gameplay updates recently the last few years. Field Offices are a very big update with an entirely unique Cog boss that not even Corporate Clash has (non-humanoid boss fight being the Boiler), and they're revamping all the facilities to be less grindy and have new minibosses!

Finally started playing rewritten after knowing about it for about a year, and I am having a great time. Still grinding to get more gags and upgrades but honestly its not as bad as I remember it, probably because I have access to a wiki with all info I could possibly want making finding certain cogs or fighting much easier.

FIRST PLANET CLUE VID WOOOOOO

clu!! ive been watching ya videos since the ACNH modding days.. :DD

TTCC was my reintroduction to Toontown from when I played it as a kid, the new characters, lore, and fights really make it so very unique. Especially the managers! Started playing for Firestarter, stayed for Rainmaker! ❤❤❤

YESSSS THANK YOU!!!!

From a preservation stand point, Toontown is a jewel. However other MMO's have fared less better when it comes to preservation unfortunately. Even Disney seems to be fighting Club Penguin servers currently. The legality of these presevation efforts is currently dubious since the law permits reverse engineering and server work arounds when it comes to accessing shut down software- however the precedent in recent years has been pushing the other way, with publishers like Blizzard and ATLUS actively fighting these kind of legacy servers. I mean we only have Star Wars Galaxy because it was leaked.
