Toontown Remastered is a project designed to bringing Toontown Rewritten to a modern standard while retaining the original aesthetic and vision. To accomplish our Classic Feel + Modern Tech approach, we are focusing on three major areas:

The Look
- Remastering existing textures to improve readability and fidelity.
- ReModeling assets to provide better UV mapping and collisions.
The Sound
- Re-Orchestrating the music and sound effects.
- Reworking areas that use recycled tracks by adding in new music.
The Feel
- Re-Rigging Toons and Cogs for improved animation quality and better optimization.
- Re-Standardizing Toontown's backend to improve performance.

Phase 0

Gender Neutral Toons & ToonDNA 2.0
- Implement a standardized Gender Neutral body type, allowing players to better express their identity.
- Allows players to pick between the closet and Accessory trunk type.
- Standardizing the backend of Toon Customization to increase the clothing/accessory limit.
Rig 3.0
- ReRigging both Toons and Cogs to allow better performance and easy-to-work rigs for new animations.
Quest 2.0
- Reworking how ToonTasks are developed, letting our team to easily create and test unique types of Tasks!

Phase 1

Game Assets Remaster
- Remastering all game assets to reduce pixelated and blurry textures, refine the current models and collisions.
ReOrchestrated Music
- Remaster all existing music and bringing out nuances and character lost in the MIDI.
- Adding additional tracks where needed to reduce recycled tracks. An example includes the battle music heard in the recent Under New Management playtest!

Phase 2 (Subject to change)

Reimagined Assets
- Include 3D assets (Ex. Trees, Lampposts, and hills) to replace 2D, as well as the ability to toggle between in the options menu.
- Retexturing some assets to have a modern look, while ensuring fidelity to the original aesthetic and design. (Ex. The remastered Donald’s Dreamland Tunnel)
- Implementing HD Cogs, as well as implementing Sellbots original purple suit.
Sound design Improvements
- Improve Toontown’s sound design by including new sound effects where it is needed, with an emphasis on not replacing any iconic ones currently existing.
Reimagined battle visuals
- Remastering Gag and Cog Prop model and textures for increased fidelity.
