the kickstarter page has a 9 minute video
It's so fucking beautiful
Wii60 on point with posting our stuff as always, thank you!
We've written up a FAQ explaining some common questions about Tower Unite. [url=http://www.gmtower.org/forums/index.php?topic=10093.0]You can read it over on the GMTower forums.[/url]
We're incredibly excited about Unite, and we hope you feel the same way too!
I would play the fuck out of this. GMod tower without the limitations of source has the potential to be amazing.

Threw $5 at this, hopefully going to throw another 5 to get in to that closed beta.
does early backer also get closed beta since they are the same price and all?

Yep, they get it too, just forgot to include the text for that one.
[quote]Almost. It’s what we call a decentralized massively multiplayer online game (MMO). Unlike other MMO games, Tower Unite is hosted, managed, and powered by the players.
That's right, we’re giving you the ability to host your own servers. We’ll have official servers of our own, but if you can’t join them - start your own! Invite friends over to your condo, start a plaza for people to join, or head straight to a game world.
Tower Unite servers will attempt to communicate with other Tower Unite servers and provide sparse game state information such as player positions and text chat. You’ll be able to spot players in 3D space who are on another Tower Unite server and pull them over to yours to hook up.[/quote]
You have no idea how long I've wanted to be able to run my own Tower servers.
Your tiers are somewhat confusing.
One 10$ doesn't get a copy but the other $10 does? At least it's not written there.
Like, there are two 10$ tiers.
And what does $15 get ? It's the same as the $10 ones.

Also you should maybe show what hosting your own server would actually give you.
Like, if everything is decentralized yet consistent, what degree of control does the server owner/admin have?
Love the idea. I always felt like Source was holding you back a bit.
Will easily throw you $15 or $20 when I get the chance. All the best to your team and best of luck in raising the money!
Is native Linux release possible?

Reading further on down the kickstarter page explains it, you get the choice of basically ranked and unranked (free) servers.
Ranked servers are all connected together and have the player currencies sync'd between then while the other is basically a sandbox, you can buy whatever, use whatever, you have everything with no cost involved.
From the sounds only the sync'd servers actually share stuff between them, the free servers are essentially almost private servers.
Oh and the free servers we can add our own stuff to, almost no limitations from the sounds which is really, really good considering its UE4.
This is fantastic news! Totally hyped as well with the usage of UE4.

one 10$ tier is early backer to reward those who got in early and one is normal 10$ tier (i think)

Will private hives be a thing, then?
[QUOTE=Jojje;47498773]Will private hives be a thing, then?[/QUOTE]
Might be, have to ask one of the devs about that. I don't see why not though specially since UE4 supports databases.
Not even an hour in and we're sitting at almost $2000. You guys are awesome.
This and Facepunch Arcade will never fuck and have babies. Oh well, looks good anyway.

just wait until the game media picks it up :v:
I love Gmod tower. Really hope this makes the goal.
Damnit, kickstarter keeps declining my card for some reason.
I always thought to myself about how cool a standalone GMod Tower would be, and now it has become a reality!
This is the first kickstarter I have ever donated to; so excited for this!
If the soundtrack won't ship to your country do you offer digital download?
[QUOTE=nomad1;47498944]If the soundtrack won't ship to your country do you offer digital download?[/QUOTE]
We're definitely going to be releasing a digital version of the soundtrack-- however, the Kickstarter version is only going to be a physical copy. The digital version will be a substantially lower price as well.
Thank fuck, now that you guys aren't limited by the restricting and outdated source engine, you guys can get the imagintion flow
Good luck, I can't wait for this to drop.
Um
...what's gmod tower?
I absolutely love GMT and I think it gave me one of the most fun moments I've had in past years, but Source is an incredible limitation and I am tired of having those limitations, so UE4 is incredibly good news. Will try and back you up with $10 as soon as I can I never backed any Kickstarter before but I have really high hopes in you guys and that Tower Unite will be a success.

Glad I wasn't the only one who thought of that
In a perfect world they would slam together and make sweet erotic love
