Toontown at least has been picked up by a team of fans [1] who reverse-engineered the client and built their own server software on top of Disney&#x27;s open-source release of their networked actor model system, Astron [2]. They&#x27;re really doing a great job with it, adding new features and content and making significant expansions to the game lore. In some ways they&#x27;re able to do more with the world than Disney ever would have.<p>Their marketing has also been very polished - especially for a fan revival of a game targeted at young children - and the community is surprisingly healthy as a result. In run-ups to a major releases, they&#x27;ve run puzzle trails&#x2F;mini-ARGs that have brought hundreds of people to try and piece together the clues [3].<p>I hope Disney doesn&#x27;t swoop in one day and shut it all down, Nintendo-style. They must know about it in some capacity, as core team members from Toontown Rewritten are now major contributors to Astron. Perhaps they think it&#x27;s better for their public image to let it be.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.toontownrewritten.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.toontownrewritten.com&#x2F;</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Astron&#x2F;Astron" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Astron&#x2F;Astron</a><p>[3] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;toontownrewritten.wikia.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Alternate_Reality_Game" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;toontownrewritten.wikia.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Alternate_Reality_Ga...</a>
