Tower Unite: The Spiritual Successor to GMod Tower [INDIEGOGO AND GREEENLIGHT ARE LIVE!] - Games

[quote][img]http://i.imgur.com/bKC1nVp.jpg[/img] This is awesome. [vid]http://webm.host/a1d8f/vid.webm[/vid] I made a short tour of my condo.[/quote] Quoted because 2big

Will you be able to share a condo with a friend so that they have the same power as the real owner of the condo? I'm terrible at filling out rooms because I like things way to simplistic so I'd rather have some help from a friend [I]so he can spam and destroy everything[/I].

Yep, were gonna have a whitelist for placing stuff. We'll use steam matchmaking for condos so anyone can join your private condo from steam friends.

I am so excited for this. Super happy that indoegogo is going better for you guys!

Good work so far!

I have a few questions to get off my chest: 1. Does the steam early access key last forever when the game comes out? (So we dont have to buy the game on steam) 2. Will the special backer items (i.e. speed shoes, golden watch) be on EVERY SERVER? 3. Are they're gonna be official servers? (If so, will there be an oceania server?)

Tower Unite Pre-Alpha will eventually convert into Tower Unite Early Access. You will only need the one Steam key we'll provide to you. 2. Whoever backed the project will receive the items into their Steam Inventory. Since it's an official item, it will persist on ranked and unranked servers. 3. Yes, we are going to host official servers. I can't confirm where the locations will be yet. Note that third party servers CAN host ranked versions of Tower, but will be unable to modify any of the gamemode.

If we get to make our own unreal engine blueprints, it'd be cool to have a copy of the official game mode blueprints to fiddle with. This is a bit confusing; can you offer early speculation about modding?

[QUOTE=bitches;48279361]Items will probably use steam inventory [editline]23rd July 2015[/editline] It makes the most sense, since people get to host their own servers[/QUOTE] Correct. Your player, money, and inventory will persist via Steam Cloud. No need to commit to one server.

[QUOTE=GameDev;48279398]Correct. Your player, money, and inventory will persist via Steam Cloud. No need to commit to one server.[/QUOTE] What about condos? Saved locally and to steam cloud, and the server you play on verifies that you actually own all the items?

[QUOTE=GameDev;48279359]Note that third party servers CAN host ranked versions of Tower, but will be unable to modify any of the gamemode.[/QUOTE] I thought you guys were going to allow Ranked servers to include custom furniture items and such. I recall Mac talking in a stream about how this system would pop-up a warning about purchasing unofficial items and how it will take your units regardless.

That sounds dumb. What sets the price on modded items? Why wouldn't servers charge zero to get players? I'd rather clothing items that are modded all be free, and make official items specially desirable by scripting effects and uses into them; community items being purely cosmetic [editline]23rd July 2015[/editline] Condos need to carry from server to server, but then that must mean condos support no community content. [editline]23rd July 2015[/editline] Or rather, no community furniture allowed. [editline]23rd July 2015[/editline] Condos would be far more interesting if you could write scripts to run in them

Alright, thanks for the answers and I backed $20! Can't wait for the full release!

The gemstone thing is pretty gimmicky.

This reminds me a lot of Play Station Home. I don't usually nack kickstarters but rest asure I'll buy the game sooner or later because it looks awesome.

[QUOTE=Ott;48282328]The gemstone thing is pretty gimmicky.[/QUOTE] "this is special and unique because we say so"

they sure are working though

Some dude recently donated $3,000. He's not doing credit card fraud, either. But fuck, man, they just announced laser tag and two new instruments to go with the piano that was already planned! I'm excited as fuck.

Oh damn what a time to be alive

Even though its pre-alpha, the inner tester came out of me and I thought I should share some out-of-the-world glitched that should (if not already) get patched. [video=youtube;LoTEDYYTKIg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoTEDYYTKIg[/video] Sorry if you already know about them. Also, ignore the shit quality, that's dxtory for you.

Are Gmod donators still going to get special items when this is released? (Like it said during the Kickstarter?) Ex: Non copy-written legacy items?

[QUOTE=Gorm;48294286]Are Gmod donators still going to get special items when this is released? (Like it said during the Kickstarter?) Ex: Non copy-written legacy items?[/QUOTE] Yep. I do not clearly recall the amount of exclusive items legacy donors receive, but the number that keeps popping up in my head is four. What those items may be, who knows. They also get a 10% discount when the game releases sometime in 2016 (can be traded or gifted).

[QUOTE=Gorm;48294286]Are Gmod donators still going to get special items when this is released? (Like it said during the Kickstarter?) Ex: Non copy-written legacy items?[/QUOTE] Apparently you get 5,000 GMC again and a special item, like a trophy or something.

the fish flops around outside your suite door once you leave, dying, and then a ghost fish follows you [editline]26th July 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Inf3ction;48296902]Will this fish follow us around in some sort of fish bowl mecha suit?[/QUOTE]

I'm hyped the monorail is making a return as it was cut from lobby 2 due to entity limits Early congratulations on the funding completion all the gem features seem really cute and fun.
