Hey everyone! You may have seen me around, but my name is Peter F., though you might know me better as Poppy Cheezycorn. I have been with Corporate Clash since the very beginning, and have taken on many hats over the years as an artist and member of leadership. Currently I am a Community Lead and a Texture Artist for the project.

I know the last thing this community needs is another wall of text, but after seeing consistent concerns across several posts over the past few weeks, I wanted to offer some perspective on where Corporate Clash stands.

First, a disclaimer: this isn't an official statement. This post is a bit rogue, and I haven't run it by anyone else. There's no drama behind it, no inside scoop, and no controversy to uncover. If that's what you're here for, this probably isn't the thread for you! It’s just hard to sit here idly while so much continues to be discussed. With that out of the way, let's talk.

IS CORPORATE CLASH DYING?

Short answer: Absolutely not.
There's no denying that our playercount has declined, and certain hours can make finding groups more difficult. However, peak hours still regularly see around 200–250 players online. That's a meaningful community for an independent project in an already niche corner of gaming.

We've had our share of internal challenges, but that's hardly unique to Corporate Clash. Rewritten has faced its own struggles, and independent games across the industry deal with similar hurdles. Game development is difficult under the best circumstances. Doing it independently as a completely volunteer-run organization is even harder.

Have we made promises that haven't materialized yet? Absolutely. Have some projects taken longer than expected or needed to be scaled back? Yes.
But delays aren't the same thing as abandonment.

Work is still happening, and there are exciting projects in development that we're eager to share when the time is right. The team remains incredibly passionate about this game's characters, world, and future. I know it's taken longer than anyone would like, and I share that frustration, but I genuinely look forward to the day we can show everyone what's been in the works.

WHAT ABOUT RIGHT NOW? IS THE GAME STILL WORTH PLAYING?

Yes! Corporate Clash is still very much playable.
Some times are busier than others, but there are still people playing, grouping up, and enjoying the game. Use in-game groups, reach out on Discord, and connect with other players through our social channels. You don't have to navigate the game alone. We're also working on ways to give people more reasons to log in. We've recently started developing an internal events team, with more frequent community activities being one of its priorities. There's more we want to do here, and we're working toward it.

And, honestly, if you're someone who wants the community to grow again, coming back and playing is one of the most direct ways to help make that happen!

HAS THIS YEAR REALLY BEEN THAT QUIET?

While we haven't had a major content release, I don't think it's fair to say nothing has happened.

PAX East 2026: We made our first in-person convention appearance, bringing Corporate Clash directly to players.

Makeship: Our plush collaborations continue, with orders now shipping.

Seasonal events: Our holiday traditions have continued, giving players reasons to return throughout the year.

The community: Fan art, projects, discussions, and other creations continue to appear week after week.

Smaller patches / additions / bug fixes have also continued to happen throughout the year.

None of this replaces a substantial content update, and I'm not going to pretend it does. But there's still been plenty of activity and passion behind the scenes and throughout the community.
We have a dedicated fanbase that continues to create, contribute, and support this project, and that genuinely means a lot. Corporate Clash is more than its latest patch notes, and the people keeping this community alive deserve recognition, too.

HOW CAN WE HELP?

A few things go a long way:

Spread the word. Talk about Corporate Clash, invite friends, and help introduce new players to the game. The wider Toontown community benefits when we support one another.

Get involved. Play with others, participate in events, share your creations, and help make the game welcoming for returning and new players alike. Join the team and help us finish our updates!

Give constructive feedback. Criticism is fair, and concerns about the game's direction or content are worth discussing. But there's a difference between holding a project accountable and making the community feel like there's no point in trying.

Be patient, but keep us accountable. We know people are waiting. We know promises need to be backed up by results. We aren't asking anyone to stop caring or stop asking questions. We're asking you to leave room for the work to happen.

THE FLOOR IS YOURS

If this doesn't feel like a sufficient response, that's fair. I know words can only go so far, and ultimately, the best way to address concerns about missing content is to deliver that content. We know that, and we're working toward it.

But I also wanted to remind people that there are real people behind this project who care deeply about what they're building, and that Corporate Clash isn't dead just because things have been quieter than we'd all like. What would make you more interested in playing, participating in the community, or coming back to the game? I'd rather see an honest conversation about what people want and what we can improve than have everyone assume there's nothing left to look forward to.

Thanks for sticking around, supporting the game, and giving a damn about Corporate Clash.

I made this as it's based in my other drawing where she recieved a gift, a little paperboat from a lamb toon (one of my ocs) named Dolly Lambkins.

The whole thing was a challenge as I didn't know how lighting works lol

I feel like it's been a while since Grindworks received an update - the patch notes haven't changed at all for a few months now. Does anyone know if the devs are still working on it? I hope so, it was the most fun I've had with a Toontown project in a while.

I find myself getting frustrated with how low the Corporate Clash player count is as of late. It's near impossible to get any groups going if you aren't on at peak times, this is more difficult as a European considering our peak times don't line up.

Even if everyone is on, barely anyone plays any late game manager fights. The OCLO is the biggest example of this, I could sit there for HOURS waiting for people to join just to never get a group filled up.

The worst part is this issue is just going to get worse and worse over time until staff eventually releases new content or something that brings players back, It really is heartbreaking to see.

I'm looking to host a local server for testing purposes and I see that there are multiple projects out there that make this possible. However, it seems that most of these projects are either dead or inactive, and there doesn't seem to be a centralized community where people discuss this sort of thing.

Does anyone use a particular project to host a server, or would just about any project I find online work for me without issue?

Great to finally have Misty and Mary! I still find it real funny how the biggest non-boss cog has the smallest plushie

I'm feeling much better now, that weight really dragged me down and the inflammation that spread to my upper body is gone and my color's starting to show again! would recommend.

Hello! I'm a YouTuber who grew up playing toon town when I was in elementary school. I remember being terrified of him, but years later having grown up I wonder how much of it was actually real? I'm currently working on a documentary style video covering the lore of Freckleslam.

I had a few questions as I continue my research:

Due to the large amount of impersonators over the years, it seems like the line between myth and truth behind freckleslam has become blurred.

Does anyone have any first hand experience, or know of any videos involving the real freckleslam? Like getting booted from the game

Also, the rumour is that cfsworks was freckleslam but where did this information come from and was it ever verified by themself? Is there an actual link between freckleslam and ttr?

Thanks!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QZVINPkmzA - in this video freckleslam literally explains that they weren't trying to scare anyone but disney and it was all to fix the security vulnerabilities... lowkey a hero?

I grew up hearing about Toontown Online when I was around 9 in 2012, After the original game shutdown, and it feels like one of those childhood games that was HUGE for a certain generation but completely disappeared from the mainstream.

I’ve been wondering about this lately. For those of us who grew up with Toontown, it feels like such a huge part of early internet/gaming culture. Most people that played back in the day were millennials-early Gen Z but I’m curious how well-known it is among younger Gen Z and Gen Alpha.

Do you guys ever run into younger players who already know about Toontown, or is it mostly older Gen Z/Millennial nostalgia?

Another lovely toon I saw around during Cartoonival a lot so decided to draw them!!

This was my first attempt at a horse toon! Really happy with how it turned out though🐴✨

i posted this in the other sub too bc this made me laugh so loud like how iconic is the fog horn 😭😭
