ToonTasks Get a Toon-Up
Posted by HQ Harry on April 25, 2025 at 12:00 PM
Woah… it’s so shiny! I wonder if they used a special gloss varnish on the parchment. I’ll have to ask Sticky Lou.
Oh, hi there! I got lost for a moment admiring one of the newly touched-up ToonTasks that arrived at HQ this morning. This beauty has been created by the Toon-Ups to our ToonTask system that our pal Tester Tim helped us playtest last year in TestTown! After putting on the final polish, the Toon Council approved this system to be rolled out to all of Toontown TODAY!
Over at Toon HQ, our ToonTask system has been cleaned up (aided by some floor mops from Rusty Bucket’s Cleaning Supplies!) to allow us to assign more fun and interesting ToonTasks!
HQ Officers are enthusiastically discussing possibilities of new ToonTask objectives including collecting Playground Treasures, catching Old Boots, delivering flowers, earning Gag experience, rescuing Toons and much more. Rumor has it that one Officer even mistakenly assigned “Help a new Toon with 15 Laff or less defeat a 3 Star Field Office”, and some brave Toons actually went and did it!
Here are the exciting ToonTask Toon-Ups entering Toontown today!
- “Just For Fun!” ToonTasks have doubled the fun with new objectives! You'll start seeing new objectives like defeating Cog Building Floors and catching fish. (Don't worry, Flippy warned us not to ask you to catch 100 Grizzly Bear Acudas...)
- We’ve added a progress bar to "Deliver" ToonTasks, making it easy to remember how many items you’ve handed to shopkeepers! You can also now partially deliver items to shopkeepers, which’ll lighten the load of your Gag Pouches and make room for extra goodies.
- Gaze upon the new vibrant and visually-improved Shticker Book icons and sharpened ToonTask scrolls! My tatty first-edition Shticker Book is looking as good as new with this update. (It does have several pages stuck in with Sticky Lou’s Blue Glue... No matter how many times I complete that task, I still don't know how to get it unstuck!)
- As promised in TestTown, Clarabelle is now selling the fine-Tooned, fashionable metallic Anti-Cog Control Hat! Protect your ToonTasks from the influence of Cog mind control. (Loony Labs assures us that doesn't exist, but you can never be too safe...)
Ooh, looks like a new Toon is on their way from Tutorial Tom’s. I’d best be off! I hope you’re thrilled as I am by these Tooned-up ToonTasks. Let us know in the comments: What types of new ToonTask objectives do YOU want us to assign?
April 25, 2025 [ttr-live-v4.2.0]
ToonTasks
• Hear ye, hear ye! Upon this fetch-questing scroll it is writ: By order of HQ Harry and the Toon Council, the back-end system behind ToonTasks across town has been ENTIRELY reinvented. This drastically expands on flexibility, ease of development, and support for a wider array of objectives & scenarios!
• One of the goals of this update was to transfer currently held ToonTasks through as accurately as possible. If you notice any oddities in the aftermath, please reach out to support@toontownrewritten.com.
• Added 15+ new types of ToonTask objectives. Some are a little too shy to show themselves yet, but perhaps we can coax them out of hiding in the near-ish future. Stay TOONed!
• "Catch Fish" ToonTasks may now randomly appear in all Playground tasklines.
• "Defeat Cog Building Floors" ToonTasks may now randomly appear upon reaching Minnie's Melodyland.
• Changed the way many types of "Deliver Item" ToonTasks function! Less than the full amount can be delivered and will now partially fill up the progress bar. Additionally, currently held items will be reflected and show how much progress will be contributed.
• Visually remastered the ToonTask scroll background.
• Tweaked the requirements for some of Donald's Dreamland's "Defeat Cog Building" and "Defeat Cogs in Cashbot Mints" tasks to be a little more fair. Why, back in my day...
Accessories
• Added the shiny (shinier!), new, retextured Anti-Cog Control Hat to the May-June Cattlelog rotation. Conspiracy theorists rejoice!
Miscellaneous
• Fixed an issue that would cause progression of "Defeat Cog Building," "Defeat Field Office," and "Recover Stolen Joke" ToonTask objectives to not display at the end of combat.
• Kicked the Number Crunchers off the printing presses, successfully de-crunchifying various Shticker Book icon visuals.
• Told the C.F.O. to stop taking everything so personally, fixing an issue that would make him unstun if walked into by a Toon.
• Quick, look busy! The Foreman's watching! Sellbots in the Lava Room Foyer now walk around.
• Fixed numerous instances of stars not appearing above Cogs' heads when hit by gags. The more you know!
• Implemented lots of various back-end code cleanup & adjustments. Too many to count!
• Is... this your card? Postmaster Pete has magically sent out invites to ToonFest Orlando! Okay, is... THIS your card? ...Ehh.

Please make a toontask that requires 43-laff toons to battle the V.P. with all of their current tracks maxed.

My friends are the ones who defeated that 3-star with a 15-laff toon and they are so honoured they have been immortalised in this blogpost! As for the changes, I recognise so many of these as being requested from the #feedback in the official server. TTR genuinely loves their community and it shows through their continued respect and receptiveness to our wishes. Truly, thank you guys so much for your volunteer effort.
