[p]Hey everyone, and welcome to the Tower Unite dev log for June 24th, 2025.[/p][p]Since the last dev log, we’ve had a dev stream, released the public beta and full release of Workshop Condos, and have continued work on our various projects.[/p][p][/p][p]So, let’s dive in:[/p][p][/p][p]On Friday the 13th, we had an extremely unspooky dev stream, going into detail about the Workshop Rental Store, Pets Progress, and Dedicated Condos. There was Q&A throughout each section, as well as a dedicated Q&A at the end of the stream![/p][p][/p][p]If you’d like to check that out, here is the VOD:[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Just a reminder, there is an ongoing Condo Contest at the moment. The theme is Restaurants & Stores, and your submission can be a build from ANY TIME![/p][p]The submission period ends on July 6th, 2025 at 11:59 PM CT.[/p][p]There are already a lot of awesome entries, so be sure to check those out, and join the contest if you want to share your Condo with the community![/p][p][/p][p]The major project going on the past few weeks has been the Workshop Rental Store. We released the beta test, and the full update is out to everyone now! We appreciate feedback people gave during the beta testing and release, and we’re working on getting a hot-fix out to you all to handle those issues that we weren’t able to catch during the beta![/p][p][/p][p]Development on Condo Pets has completed for its first release. If you want a better look at what’s been going on with Condo Pets, check out this section of the Dev Stream (around 49/50 minutes in).[/p][p]We also have completed the two new Plaza areas: Cat Café and Dog Park![/p][p]We plan to have the Condo Pet and Café open soon after the Dedicated Condo update![/p][p][/p][p]We’ve made HUGE progress on Dedicated Condos!![/p][p][/p][p]We finished the item spawn system, allowing players who have the spawn permission the ability to spawn their own local inventory items in the Dedicated Condo.[/p][p][/p][p]We also finished the save system for Dedicated Condos, along with a backup system. Any player with the save permission can also manually save the Dedicated Condo within the server.[/p][p][/p][p]We now have a full logging system that logs chat messages, join/leave messages, and other important interactions.[/p][p][/p][p]To help setup your own moderation team, we added a new “Condo Mod” tag permission setting that adds the “Condo Mod” tag next to a player’s name so players know who is important in your Dedicated Condo. This tag is separate from all the other permissions, allowing you to have complete control over what a Condo Mod has control over.[/p][p][/p][p]On top of that, the Windows Launcher has been completed, along with the guide for Dedicated Condos.[/p][p][/p][p]We’re working on additional features for Dedicated Condos to make it easier to moderate them, and we hope to add a remote console system.[/p][p][/p][p]Below are a bunch of general fixes for specific parts of the game! Other fixes we’ve been working on that weren’t included below are that you can now skip dialogue mid-sentence again and that we fixed key binding not working with scroll wheel! There were also some general fixes for controller support, Zombie Massacre, and Virus.[/p][p][/p][p]For the upcoming and recently released updates, optimization work has continued! A significant amount of shader optimization was done to improve both performance and load times by reducing the amount of shader memory load.[/p][p]We also worked on a permanent object pool in “garbage collection” to reduce the amount of hitches experienced in content-heavy areas like Plaza and Condos. This stops the engine from doing unnecessary garbage collection on assets that will soon be loaded back in anyway.[/p][p][/p][p]For SDNL, we’ve made some improvements to weapons, such as various improvements to the Sword & Shield item, fixes to the Egon Cannon’s sounds, and the ability to recharge thrown Chainsaws. We also fixed an issue with sliding that caused some players to get stuck during sliding.[/p][p][/p][p]We’ve made various fixes to issues in the Plaza! These include several optimizations such as reducing streaming hitches in stores area, reduced data on static meshes throughout the Plaza by removing adjacency buffers that were unneeded and fixes to textures, materials, lighting, and collision. We also cleaned up the lighting on the Plaza rooftop bar.[/p][p]These Plaza optimizations have been pushed out as of the 1.0.1.0 update, and we’re continuing to work on further optimizations.[/p][p][/p][p]Several fixes were also made in the Condos. You can now set the max players that can enter your Condo while you are hosting your Condo, in case you want to increase the player count or decrease it without having to re-host the Condo.[/p][p]We also fixed scoreboard input issues and being able to update your Condo title with special symbols.[/p][p]For SDK users, we’ve fixed the flag scale issues with the hole tool for Minigolf. We’re also fixing several reported Condo IO bugs.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]In other Condo news, we have some new upcoming Condo items for you all as well! These include the Server Rack, Coffee Machine, Espresso Machine, Paneled Glass Double Door, Paneled Glass Door, Wooden Lounger, and Bathroom Vanity Sink.[/p][p][/p][p]With this update, and the hot fix, we’ve been fixing several issues with controller support, and we’ve added a Steam Deck profile for those who game on the Steam Deck. We’re working towards getting Steam Deck verification very soon![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Work has begun on new Arcade games for Arcade: Phase 3! We have some development images of the early stages of three new games, Mac has gotten Air Hockey working right again, and work continues on the 2D Games! We’re very excited to get to start working on Arcade development again, and we can’t wait to get these games out to you all.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We’ve been taking in feedback from players and we’re working on a few other special features that don’t quite fit in other sections.[/p]

• [p]We’re working on adding Workshop Map, Mutators, and Game Types to the server browser, so you can see which server is playing a specific Gametype.[/p]
• [p]Progress on Condo Currency has been made, which is a feature that Condo owners can use to add their own fake currencies to their Condos. These per-player currencies can also be used to track individual progress for adventure maps as well![/p]

[p][/p][p]That’s going to do it for this week’s dev log! Be sure to keep an eye out for the next one!

[p]The beta branch to test our next update is now available! This beta primarily includes the Workshop Rental Store with other changes and improvements to the game. Behind the scenes, we've been working on Dedicated Condos as well, which we hope include in part two of this beta.[/p][p][/p][p]If you're not familiar with our new Public Betas, here's a quick run down of common questions on how public betas work:[/p][p][/p][h2]What Are Public Betas?[/h2][p]Public betas are short lived beta tests of an upcoming update to Tower Unite. They are builds of the game that include new features or bug fixes that we need to test before shipping it out to everyone in the game.[/p][p][/p][h2]Why Public Betas?[/h2][p]Public betas come out just before an update. We’re using these public betas to iron out any immediate bugs or issues before making an update to the game.[/p][p]With these public betas, you can help us test the game and provide feedback for new features before they fully release.[/p][p][/p][h2]How To Participate[/h2][p]To opt into the public beta, you’ll need to head to your Steam Library.[/p][p]Right click on Tower Unite > Properties > Betas.[/p][p]From there click on the Beta Participation drop down and select Public Beta.[/p][p][/p][p]Note: When opting into a public beta, you will have to re-patch your game each time you switch between beta and non-beta. It does not redownload the entire game, but it does have to patch in any changes to the beta, which can take a bit of time.[/p][p][/p][h2]Joining Plaza Beta Servers[/h2][p]While in the beta branch, you’ll see new buttons in the Plaza server list for Plaza beta servers. These will be servers exclusively for the beta itself.[/p][p][/p][h2]Providing Feedback On Betas[/h2][p]We have a Discord channel (#betas-chat) in the Game Developments section of our official Discord: https://discord.gg/pixeltail[/p][p][/p][p]This is the place to share your feedback on the beta with our developers or talk with other players about the beta. [/p][p][/p][p]To report bugs about the public beta, please use these sub-forums:[/p][p]https://forums.pixeltailgames.com/c/bug-report/public-beta-bug-report/109[/p][p][/p][h2]Does Progress Save During Betas?[/h2][p]Yes, all progress in public betas will be saved unless otherwise noted. This includes any units, EXP, or items you’ve earned.[/p][p][/p][p]For more detailed information about beta save progress, please read here:[/p][p]https://forums.pixeltailgames.com/t/tower-unite-public-beta-branches/53183#p-271258-does-progress-save-during-betas-9[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]New to the Condo Hub, the Tower Condo Rental store is now open!
