Upcoming Mods #3 - HearthToon

Hey there, Toons! Master Loopy Bananamuffin here with a new update!

Ah, CCGs. Gotta love 'em. What, no! They're actually collectible card games. Where did you get Cold Caller Guild from? Erm, anyways, HearthToon is an upcoming mod that implements an ENTIRE CCG into Toontown! This is such a big project that it got bumped all the way to Arc 7. But considering how quickly we released Arc 1, we can only hope for the best.

12 Cards are confirmed, although we don't have them completely in order... The 12th card confirmed is actually #15. Here's a preview of like, three of them. (#1, #7, and #3 to be precise.)

Hmmm... Remind me to add borders to these cards.

Mod Update - Fish Storm V3

Hey there, Toons! Master Loopy Bananamuffin here with a new update!

We're still watching for those elusive Whale Lords, but it seems the storm blew some heavy winds upon every single pond in Toontown. As such, two fish genuses have changed names (no, not switched, there's a difference) and a new "Space Fish" species has entered the ponds. On the other hand, Cheddar and Surlee have been busy inventing technology to allow our currently existing rods to catch larger fish. Seems decent enough, considering that the new variant of Space Fish has been calculated to weigh a max of 21 pounds. But anyhoo, let's get back to the hunt!

V3 Changelog:
+ All rods have been buffed.
+ Moon Fish and PB&J Fish have taken new names.
+ Added Neptune Space Fish.

Jimmeh's Jokes #1 - Swapping Fish!

elo dis iz Jimmeh. If u dunno meh I am teh ToonFest planer for Team Bananamuffin. I've ben busy behind te scens making a joke. If you wan to see meh joke, I wil throw it in the place where you get mods. Look for it in the next fyew hrs. kthxbai.

Upcoming Mod Update- Fish Storm V3

Hey there, Toons! Master Loopy Bananamuffin here with a new update!

The Fish Storm increases in strength more and more each day. Flippy has warned us (via the Toontown Weather Station) that if the fish are not caught faster than they spawn, the ponds could become... OVERSATURATED. The dramatic tone still gives me the willies. On the other hand, though, sixteen Toons have claimed a 1000-Jellybean prize for catching a Demonic Devil Ray, and this one guy got another 1500 Jellybeans for catching the Tasmanian Devil Ray and the Red Devil Ray as well! Everyone was cheering, and then we heard the low, reverberating call. I can still recall that exact moment when my lips moved:

"The Whale Lords."

Stay Tooned, Toons! The Whale Lords are inbound! They're sneaky even though they're gigantic, somehow even changing themselves to look like Piano Tuna! Be on the lookout!

Upcoming Mods #2- Undying Cogs

Hey there, Toons! Master Loopy Bananamuffin here with a new update!

With the advent of Arcs 5-7, I knew there was gonna be heck to raise. And speaking of heck to raise, this particular mod is what kicks off Arc 5. Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you one of the most diabolical mods ever invented...the Undying Cogs mod!

Undying Cogs take v2.0 Cogs and just make those v2.0 Cogs v2.0, then add v2.0 on top of that, and v2.0 on top of that... Well, you get the idea. In this mod, the Cogs will spawn with alarming amounts of v2 Cogs, and then higher-up Cogs up to v8. The streets are also more dangerous due to adding to the level ranges that spawn in the streets.

While Arc 5 is still a LOOOONG way off, that's not to say that it won't come quickly. And actually, I happen to be graduating school on May 20th, so it's only a matter of time before I have a LOT more time on my hands. ;)

Anyhoo, thanks for listening!

Arc 1 is OUT!

Excuse us for being late on our promise to release Arc 1 upon completion of Fish Storm V2 tests. We finished them a while ago, but then got distracted by Fat Ed trying to eat ALL the raw spaghetti... But onto the best news EVER:

Arc 1 mods have been officially released! Our development team has taken great care to ensure the usability of our mods, and we also do our best to make sure the mods are as memory-efficient as possible. (And by memory-efficient, we mean smaller file sizes.)

All mods are a minimum of V2 and there is a field guide that can help you track down the new material we made! Check out Arc 1 at the Distribution Center NOW!

Mod Update - Fish Storm V2

IT HAS BEGUN...

Changelog:
+ Added three new types of Devil Ray.
+ All rods now cost 1 bean to cast.

Hope you enjoy the new Fish Storm update! The advent of this update will mark the beginning of our career, as it will allow us to release Mod Arc 1 to the public! Stay Tooned for the release! ;D

The Update of Holy Cow!

Hey there, Toons! Master Loopy Bananamuffin here with a new update!

Just today, I was coming up with some more nifty mod ideas. I was writing them out on some paper, organizing them three at a time at random into different Arcs.

...And then I saw it.

My pen dropped at the sight of what I had created. It was THE most insane thing I had ever seen! According to my mod ideas: I was going to have a WHOPPING SEVEN ARCS! I thought quickly to try and lower the amount, but alas, no good... But wait! What if I took the smaller mods and just did something ELSE with them? GENIUS!

So now I come before you with three announcements:


  1. We have 7 Arcs in planning.
  2. There will be Minimods in every Arc starting on Arc 2. Minimods are kinda like little cartridges that add onto an existing pack, so to install them, you're gonna need to follow the directions!
  3. A Vanilla Pack will now be released. Since it is the Vanilla source we work off of, it is completely untouched. However, although the Vanilla Pack is untouched, it will include a Minimod Template you can create Minimods with.
Thanks for listening. As a reward for listening: Fish Storm will be commencing tests in roughly 2 hours. Upon successful completion of tests, Fish Storm will become V2, and Arc 1 will be released.

The Importance of Placeholders

Hello again! We'd like to take time out of your busy no-life schedule to tell you about placeholders. Placeholders are VERY important when you're developing a game. It allows you to come back to something later. Usually, placeholders do practically nothing, but not in our case. Some placeholders we have in place include:

  • Multiple new fish types in Fish Storm are currently subspecies of already-existing fish.
  • Technic Dome (we listed this because there is currently no boundaries surrounding the area)
Of course, we'll have to iron out the bugs before we can officially rid ourselves of a placeholder and use something NEW in its place. With that being said, we're currently trying to limit the use of said placeholders so that we can stick to our non-existent schedule and release the Arc 1 mods today or tomorrow. In the meantime, board the Hype Train NOW!

Mod Update - Herobrine Dimension V2

Herobrine will be pleased should he hear that the Cold Callers and Short Changes are now Pigmen, and Netherrack has replaced the normal Toontown Central cobblestone...

+ Changed Cold Caller and Short Change into Pigmen.
+ Netherrack is now lined down Toontown Central's streets.

You'd be shocked to know that this might not be the end of what Herobrine is planning...

Mod Arc 1 INCOMING!!

The time is nigh upon us: Our eventual reveal of the Arc 1 mods! We've been wanting to pull this one off since we first began, so let the games begin!! ;D

Arc 1 mods include:
-Fish Storm
-Herobrine Dimension
-Supa Toonic Galaxy

All the mods will be a minimum of V2, hence why we're so close to sharing Arc 1. Fish Storm is getting ready to turn V2 in the next day or so. Therefore, that's why the release of Arc 1 will occur in roughly 1-2 days.

Upcoming Mod Features #3 - Parkour Streets

Parkour seems to be a vision that I've had for many years for Toontown. Ahhh...what I would give to see SOMEBODY design even a remotely awesome parkour map. So we got to thinking, and we thought: Hey, WAIT a minute! Maybe if we made a street into a full-blown parkour course, we could have some MAJOR incentive for them to want to go to the top.

So we got a crap-ton of boxes from Salty Shores (the new Donald's Dock), and started building what we like to call a Parkour Street. Rest assured, this will be forever remembered as the day we got off our lazy tailfins and did something USEFUL with our lives...

Parkour Streets are found in Team Bananamuffin Isle and Supa Toonic Galaxy. A mild alternative with lots of topsy-turvy loops and curves will soon emerge, though, and we'll be able to intertwine the two for good fun! Stay Tooned, Toons, and we'll see ya next time!

Upcoming Mods #1- Black Magic

In the first episode of an article meant to show off new and upcoming mods rather than updates to an existing mod, we take a look at the ferociousness that will soon be the Black Magic mod.

In the Black Magic mod, a dark and terrifying entity looms over Toontown, threatening to destroy the fun MUCH faster than the Cogs ever tried to accomplish. The story goes that centuries ago, four heroes sealed away a massive dark demon known as Black Chaos. Black Chaos has been gaining power VERY slowly ever since. But now, due to a trip-up from a black cat named Toonbrine, Black Chaos has arisen again, and instead of the heroes, it's now up to YOU to re-seal the demon. And this time, you'll need to do it right to make sure to keep him out of Toontown FOREVER. But should you fail, Black Chaos will destroy Toontown in its entirety...

The battle takes place in Toontown Central, featuring Black Chaos within the gazebo, which was secretly the altar used to seal him the first time. Using the only thing you can think of to fight him with (aka pies), you must battle the beast and help the only living hero remaining, Master Loopy Bananamuffin, to re-seal Black Chaos. Throughout the battle, Black Chaos can summon black clouds which shoot thunderbolts and gray clouds that summon goon-like minions. Throughout the battle, the minions will gain power. But here's the tricky part: thunderbolts can shrink you down, causing you to take DOUBLE damage should a goon or another bolt hit you!

The Black Magic mod will also feature a multitude of Devil Ray variants, including a previously-exclusive fish type from Fish Storm: the COLD Devil Rays!

Upcoming Mod Features #2 - Village Herring!

The Village Herring is a straight-forward reference to the Minecraft Villager. Its grunting noise is guaranteed to make you think, Wait, is that a Villager or a fish!? The standard Village Herring is between 5 lbs to 9 lbs with a rarity of 5. It has two variants: the Emerald and Zombie Village Herring. Both variants relate to common features of Minecraft Villagers, including their zombie form and their love of emeralds. The Emerald variant weighs in between 7 lbs to 12 lbs with a rarity of 6, and the Zombie variant weighs in at 4 lbs to 7 lbs with a rarity of 5.

This type of fish is exclusive to the Fish Storm mod, as is many of the new fish variants that are coming to that mod.

We hope you enjoyed Upcoming Mod Features #2, and we'll see you next time for another upcoming mod update or something else like that...

Upcoming Mod Features #1 - Whale Lords

The Whale Lords are a special breed of fish that hide in the depths of the sea. They're so immensely large that only two species of Whale Lord can be caught in the regular bounds of Toontown. The Baleen Whale Lord and the Beluga Whale Lord are small enough to fit in the Donald's Dock playground, whereas all the others are out in MUCH deeper water.

The Whale Lords are kind of a recurring theme, appearing in Fish Storm, Super Toonic Galaxy, and Team Bananamuffin Isle. However, the Humpback Whale Lord and the Right Whale Lord are exclusively found in the Team Bananamuffin Isle mod.

Sneak Peek - Super Toonic Galaxy V2


Super Toonic Galaxy is our very first mod that we thought up. Originally, though, "super" wasn't in the name. Toonic Galaxy was intended to be a new experience that made streets just a bit...lopsided.

Super Toonic Galaxy is planned to have at least two or three new Playgrounds, some of which will be more interactive than the others. And also, our original concept to make the streets go crazy might still take place, even now.

Anyhoo, enjoy this picture of the tunnel to Technic Dome, which is kinda like a mini-Playground that leads to the other two. And no, V2 is not the final product. V2 only has Technic Dome. Nothing else has been changed.

Welcome!

Hey there Toons, Master Loopy Bananamuffin here to welcome you to our humble blog! We have an armada of nifty source mods that we'd LOVE to show you! We're big on modding if you haven't noticed.

Our mod list has about 12 mods in the works. We currently have 10 initial releases and 2 mods that are at V2 already. Our entire mod list can be found on Google Drive, but we are not releasing them yet for sanity reasons. In the meantime, we'll gladly provide previews into the upcoming tidal wave of modded content for all Toons to enjoy. Stay Tooned! ;D
