Sprays & Saves Update! (0.18.10.0)

We have been working on a selection of different sprays to be used in all areas of Tower Unite! Sprays are artwork you can spray on walls or the floor in the Plaza, Condos, and even Game Worlds. You can use sprays to express in a new way! You can spray by using the G key.

Sprays can be unlocked at the computer customization station in Tower Threads.

There are over 64 unlockable sprays!
Like the profile backgrounds, we have a big batch of sprays for all players to use, as well as a few gift sprays for Supporter Pack 2 owners and a few for Patrons.

Aside from the gift sprays from the Supporter Pack 2 or the Patreon subscription, all sprays will be earnable with Units, Tickets, or event currency (ex. Ghoul Coins). Some require achievements to unlock as well.

Along with the functionality to use sprays, we’ve made a favoriting feature which allows for easy access through a ring menu shortcut (default holding G key).



You can now save preset outfits to be equipped from the appearance menu! This means you’ll be able to save your accessory and player model combos for easy access in the future. You’ll also be able to save workshop player models in an outfit. The outfit slots are unlimited, so you can go wild with expressing your different personal styles!

Outfits are also saved as small files you can share with other players (found in Tower Unite/Cloud/Outfits). Outfits are saved to Steam Cloud as well!





Lost or corrupted Condos are a heartbreaking issue, so we wanted to make improvements to the system to provide backups and give further information on how saving works in this update.

Now, every time your Condo is saved, a backup will be saved to a file on your computer. These files will be zipped up to save space on your system. If you have an issue with your Condo and need to revert, this will give you a secure way to access your old saves.

Backups are stored in the game files, under Tower Unite/Backups/Condos. You can restore a backup by using the new Load From File feature in the Condo Save menu.

The backup system works even when Steam Cloud is down!



Accessories are now colorable! You can now color most of the hats, glasses, and other appearance items in the game, with a few exceptions for some seasonal items. This is a thorough coloring system that allows you to color various parts of an appearance item like you would a Condo item!





There’s a new gamemode for Accelerate: 150CC mode! This mode will pick up the pace of your races and allow for new competition with its own leaderboards.





Highrise had a bit more cleanup work done on it in this update! There were more changes that allowed for colorability, hiding map objects, light toggles, and additional map issues.



Near the end of each day, we have our Plaza servers restart for maintenance. We now have a system that reconnects players to another Plaza automatically once the Plaza restarts for maintenance, reducing the need for you to have to search and find another Plaza during the maintenance.



We've fixed a major issue with Condo IO Movers that affected published SDK maps. Now movers work for SDK maps!

The player model creation SDK now has the ability to preview all the wearables, so you can get a better idea how the offsets will look for all the accessories.

We also added better error handling when uploading workshop player models, specifically around creating the icon for the player model.



In the last update, we found an issue that caused Game World Ports not to properly connect players when a game starts. This issue is now resolved!



And lastly, we fixed the friend list not displaying your friend activities in this update.
