[QUOTE=Mike Tyson;51749617]Sure, but I don't wanna play virus constantly for money. I want to do various things, but I feel like I'm being punished for that due to everything costing so much. I want to decorate my condo, but I can't do that without playing tons of Ball Race (whatever is the most efficient minigame, Ball Race was an example), or sitting at the Casino spamming E for hours. It feels like a free-2-play game that I paid money for. Heck, I've played F2P games less grindy than this. I had less expectations for GMTower because that was a free mod for a game I already owned. I bought this on release and have barely played it because it's such a pain in the ass to buy anything.[/QUOTE]
Sort of the same for me. I've got nearly 20 hours in the game, but it's like in that 20 hours i haven't actually done anything. I had dozens of hours on GMT but here it feels more like i'm playing the minigames just so i can be able to afford some of the items i want, rather than because i enjoy playing them.
So can I not sell anything or what's going on. Every time I try to sell something in my inventory it loads for a few seconds before not actually selling my stuff.

I won 250 coin in the Typing Derby and yet my money's still at zero.
[QUOTE=Mike Tyson;51748861]Why is it so slow to get money? It makes it a pain in the ass to buy anything. I spend more time grinding for money than I do actually doing things I enjoy.
I feel like it's just punishing new people, and people who didn't macro the casino back when you could.[/QUOTE]
This my biggest issue. Everything is great except for how painful it is to obtain money without resorting to exploits or pure grinding. Neither of which I find fun
I felt exactly the same for a while. I convinced some friends to buy the game as well and now it's not so bad. It's a nightmare making money if you only solo this game. Friends definitely add to the experience and you'll have fun for a while. But the grindiness of the game does resurface after the goal changes from having a good time to "oh man, I need 50,000 more to buy a pillow." I feel like future updates and more additions to the game world will help over time but it's so early in development that it's going to be a while. I do however find the condo customizing the best part and I think it's mostly what's keeping me hooked.
I think as the plaza gains more and more activities, the sense of 'grind' might dissipate due to having more ways to make money. Additionally, Little Crusaders and other game worlds are on the way that have a more competitive edge to them and might feel more rewarding to earn units from. We always like to add unit bonuses for performing well in game worlds.
Honestly, for now I wouldn't say no to a temporary boost to all activities that give money. Because there's so little variety in how you can get dosh and everything costs so much dosh, actually getting what you want is an exercise in pain.
Who is in on Little Crusaders beta? I'll be there.

Why not turn all the other sources down?
Also, Little Crusaders is really fun, I'm glad they decided to run a beta test client. Seems like a really excellent way to get feedback, I know I'll be submitting a few of my own suggestions.

Some of the beams on the throne room map have collisions disabled, or some tiny as fuck collision boxes, I can jump up there and pretend im stuck to bait people near me, also doubles as no one being able to push the dragon's button.

What do I do with all these
Tower Unite devs need to make a bunch of potato-based recipes, once they get around to making some sort of cooking system.

Is there someplace I can report this bug, or is posting here fine
Little Crusaders is massively unbalanced, a full lobby just results in everyone rushing the dragon.

Hey, not sure if you're still having the issue but if you're the owner of the condo you can noclip to at least stash it back into your inventory.
Like gmod, just press V to enter and leave noclip at will, right clicking on the item can be a bit finicky to get the item highlighted but it's possible. I've had to do it to retrieve items accidentally placed in objects before.
Also really hope the RC stuff gets done soon and you can place and retrieve them in places like the plaza as well as condos.
I want to make a condo built dedicated to RC minigames so bad...
Im still slightly miffed the mod authors didn't put the Ferris Wheel side of the GMT map on the workshop.
I liked that part a lot gosh darnit

[B]
WEAPON PREDICTION AND THE NEW WEAPON SYSTEM[/B]
We're finally done implementing weapon lag compensation!
This means that when you shoot at something, the server works to recreate what you saw, so regardless of how high your ping is, you should still be able to hit your target.
Animated viewmodels are now supported and Krionikal is working on animations for each gun in the game.
Some weapon animations are work-in-progress and some weapons have no animations. We're working through them. You can read more detail about the weapon animations at the bottom of this update log.
We also fixed some issues with weapons in the Lobby and the Condo, the hotbar plays nicer with weapons and is much easier to use now.
[B]VIRUS RE:CODED[/B]
Virus was completely recoded and boasts many improvements.
Most notably, shooting an infected plays audible "hit" feedback and displays the damage on your screen. The infected also make growling noises when hit (they don’t like it ok).
We also added timers to the HUD so you know how long it takes to reload your gun, or how long your adrenaline will last.

[B]NEW BALL RACE MAP: PRISM[/B]
A new map by Mike.
[B]ENGINE UPDATE: UNREAL 4.15[/B]
In this update, we've migrated to the latest Unreal Engine 4 version. This migration allowed us to benefit from decreased load times and improve memory pool usage for streaming textures.
We've tested with different machine configurations and saw improvements to FPS and decreased load times (especially for those with SSDs).
[B]
VOICE CHAT OVERHAUL[/B]
We found many issues with voice, especially when players respawn in Lobby.
We have recoded the voice system from the ground up and fixed these issues. Voice chat will now be more reliable!
[B]Update: We are getting more reports of voice issues and we are currently invesigating them.[/B]
[B]Major Changes[/B]
Recoded voice chat to be more reliable
Rewrote traces to be a lot more reliable. Fixes a lot of strange issues for being unable to use items from certain angles. Traces would break more noticeably when crouching

[B]Minigolf Changes[/B]

Improved weapon bullet hit effects (bullets react to different surface types like metal or sand)
Bullets now have different decals and hit effects based on the material it hit (aka different effects for shooting at sand, metal, plaster, etc.)
[B]Bug Fixes[/B]
Minigolf: Fixed major bug where sometimes the camera would get stuck inside the ball
Minigolf: Fixed a bug where the camera would not reset back to the ball if the camera was overridden by a special scenario (like cannons or the water wheel in Waterhole)
Little Crusaders - Toy Room: Fixed getting stuck in certain areas of the map

ADDENDUM: ABOUT THE WEAPON ANIMATIONS[/B]
As stated above, we're still working on the weapon animations for Virus. As of this update:
The 9MM model was completely replaced by a new handgun in this update. We have decided to use a different overall design for the gun. The new handgun has first pass animations for equipping, firing, and reloading. The animation for the new handgun is the standard for the rest of the Virus weapons, including with it a new hand model that will be replacing the old hand models
The Flak Hand Cannon has first pass animations for firing and reloading
The Double Barrel has first pass animations for firing and reloading
The Silencer uses the same animations as the handgun
Adrenaline has basic first pass animations for injecting
The Confetti Gun has basic first pass animations for firing
[B]These weapons do not have any animations yet:[/B]
Autorifle
Plasma Autorifle
Tommy Gun
TNT
Sonic Shotgun
Sci-fi Handgun (currently uses some of the handgun animations)
Also, the sound for weapons (reloading, deploy, etc.) is virtually non-existent as Will is waiting for the animation work to be finished before foley work can be done on them.

[QUOTE=nightlord;52119565]The new update looks great. Were any new items added for suites, though?[/QUOTE]
Not for this update, but we definitely have plans to add more stuff. All of the artists have been a little stuffed with either weapons, underwater condo, or animating.
The new hit detection system is great.
Although, movement in Virus seems pretty jittery. It's not game breaking, but it definitely doesn't feel good.
Also, Prism is pretty dang hard. There should be a new difficulty called "lol good luck."
[QUOTE=Shenesis;52121790]
Also, the new arms made me realize how you're holding some weapons with only one hand, firing them telepathically :v:[/QUOTE]
The only properly animated gun at the moment is the handgun and silencers. We're slowly rolling out new animations as I remake / remaster each gun bc they're not up to the quality that i'd like them to be.
ie old handgun vs new
