[hd]https://youtu.be/MdXzTkCn7r0[/hd] Hi Friends! We thought a new thread would be appropriate as the [url=https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1475909]old one[/url] is quite dated at this point. [B] WHAT IS TOWER UNITE?[/B] [quote]Tower Unite isn't just a single game, it contains large multiplayer games that you can enjoy with lots of players, each with its own gameplay and genre. Every bit of Tower Unite is full of online multiplayer fun. Here's how it works: you play games, you earn Units (the in-game currency) and then you can use Units to buy new items to customize yourself and your virtual condo. This isn't just a social game. This is a game about playing games. [/quote] [B]This Sounds Familiar...[/B] [quote]Tower Unite is a spiritual successor of one of the most popular gamemodes on Garry’s Mod, GMod Tower. GMod Tower, which runs on the Source Engine, is where we invented the core ideas and concepts for Tower Unite. GMod Tower has been available for free to the public for over five years and has constantly evolved. One of our strongest influence is our community. We have listened, discussed with, and implemented ideas that our players came up with. We wouldn't be here if it weren't for our community’s undying support for us. We’re proud to have 45 thousand active users on GMod Tower! We’re keeping that same attitude for Tower Unite. That’s why everything that we implement will be made for the community or requested by the community. Just like we did with GMod Tower, we aim to have constant free feature updates for Tower Unite.[/quote] [B]Features[/B] [quote] • Play multiplayer games of various genres online with friends. • Play online minigolf with up to 16 players. • Customize yourself with accessories. • Furnish and design the layout of your personal space (the Condo) with furniture and interactive toys. • Invite other players over to your Condo for parties and mini-games. • Watch synchronized YouTube™ videos in a virtual theater or your Condo. • Fly around in jetpacks. • Imbibe alcohol to an irresponsible extent. • Join official servers or host your own server. • Hang out with your friends or find new friends! • Enjoy free DLC, no microtransactions, and developer support. • Collect tons of unique items with Steam Inventory support.[/quote] [B]TRAILERS![/B] [video]https://youtu.be/udzaeQp988Q[/video] [video]https://youtu.be/2ib7EisBCgg[/video] [video]https://youtu.be/JHoSUqlw47w[/video] [video]https://youtu.be/gp8RFXCETj0[/video] I'll try to be active as possible in this thread and answer questions, but if you wanna keep SUPER up to date, here's some social media links.

Holy shit, you guys really did it. I cant wait to try it out, Gmod Tower was one of my favourite gamemodes.
There was a thread on this before, was it locked? Either way I'm excited to see the result! Been waiting to play this ever since you announced it!
awesome! definitely gonna give it a go once it's available on steam
Two hour hype. Time to gather all my friends who used to play GMod Tower with.
It's out !
it's out, but why is it only 125mb and doesn't launch because of a missing executable?
Steam servers probably miss all the data. Gotta be patient.
Restarted steam, it's downloading atm.
So I see there's a dedicated server app, I could probably get a private FP one hosted if anyone wants in?
Sorry about that issue, we've got that all patched up. Game should download fine now. In case you didn't notice, yes, we just launched and the game is now available!
[vid]http://shotzpotz.xyz/ss/2016-04-08_23-47-16.webm[/vid] I hope this doesn't get patched out (hold crouch, jump and sprint)
Just bought a copy. Looking forward to seeing what you guys add to the game!
Oh man I can feel the fun already. I only wish I wasn't having connection problems with all the servers.
[QUOTE=Garrison;50096640]Oh man I can feel the fun already. I only wish I wasn't having connection problems with all the servers.[/QUOTE] We're identifying the issues with our dedicated servers that we're hoping to fix as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience!
Aaaah I need to get in on this once I get paid, I look forward to it.
Any idea what's causing this? Debian 8 64-bit [t]http://shotzpotz.xyz/ss/9gyj4D.png[/t]
[T]http://puu.sh/obfIZ/60bf308b50.jpg[/T] amazing
Is there really no way to host a Plaza without setting up a dedicated server?
[QUOTE=Wormy;50096764]Gonna try to install the game to my SSD, I hope it will solve some of the stuttering and slow loading times. edit: Didn't improve much I'm afraid. Does anyone else have insane stuttering?[/QUOTE] Currently there's a bug in the menus that correlated with Steam avatar refreshing. We're looking into it ASAP.
Right now I'm just rubber-banding everywhere. :unimpressed: Tried Virus, same issue, crazy rubber-banding, and the sound was cutting all over. Ball-race was a bit better, but still crazy lag. Hopefully it'll improve in future patches.
[QUOTE=Shotz;50096727]Any idea what's causing this? Debian 8 64-bit [t]http://shotzpotz.xyz/ss/9gyj4D.png[/t][/QUOTE] Mine didn't start as well, but I had a garrysmod server running on port 27015. So I just put the garrys mod server on port 27016 and it worked. It seems that nothing can be on port 27015 otherwise it wont start. [editline] Meme [/editline] [DEL]Also, didn't know there was another thread, I'll start posting in this one now. Here's a question I had on the other thread: [QUOTE=Exploderguy;50097810]Where are the backer plaques? Is it the golden ones? if so, I can't find my name[/QUOTE][/DEL] After looking at trello, the non-gold bricks havn't been added yet.
We just pushed post-release update 0.1.0.1: [url]http://steamcommunity.com/games/394690/announcements/detail/951758310171828076[/url] Also, I guess it's good to mention that GMod Tower officially shut down at midnight. If you were a player in any of the last six years, thanks for all of the memories. [hd]https://youtu.be/uAUrW3deAKY[/hd]
Not gonna lie, that video hit me hard. Thinking back to all the times I had in Garry's Mod Tower, it's crazy to think that I'll never be able to revisit any of it outside of videos. It has been an amazing 6 years and all of you are amazing people. Here's to the future. Cheers.
I don't think I even played Lobby 2, but at least I have a lot of old screenshots lying around.
could we get dedicated servers eventually for the minigames? it sucks trying to play virus when the host is using dialup and you cant get under 200 ping

I really want to play Gmod now but I know it's not the same. Really going to miss Gmod tower, had so much fun back in the day. :cry:
oh...GMT is dead...fuck I was hoping to play one more time with my mate...
[t]http://i.imgur.com/wxe4EE3.png[/t] Can't really tell what the issue is, since there is no log to post it. I can't launch the game anymore. help.
My Virus server doesn't seem to pop up in the list, I could only get someone to join by manually inviting. Is there like a port I should have open? Edit: Ooh, never mind.
