Hello everyone, and welcome to the dev log for July 8th, 2025!
Since the last dev log, we released a hot fix for the Workshop Rental Store, wrapped up work on Dedicated Condos, and continued work on the various projects within Tower Unite!
Next Updates
Dedicated Condos
Community Condos will be our next update! Work has finished up on server hosting, moderation, and the guide, so now we just need to test and release the update!
Condo Pets & Cat Café
Condo Pets and the Cat Café will come out soon after Dedicated Condos! If you’ve been following along, you’ll know we are in the final stretch! Work has completed on the Cat Café and we’re just getting the final testing done on the pets.
Cooking
After the pets are released, we’ll be returning back to work on Cooking. Cooking has a bit of progress already, but we’ll be working on gameplay and coming up with fun recipes.
General Fixes / Future Update Work
Arcade: Phase 3!
Work continues on Arcade: Phase 3! We have some exciting videos and pictures to share with you about the next phase, so lets take a look!
Air Hockey
Air hockey is finally coming to Tower Unite! It has been a long time, but we’ve made a lot of progress as developers, and have made some great strides in getting this feature functional. Mac has been programming the general gameplay as well as a CPU player for singleplayer matches!
Cabinet Artwork
Johanna has been hard at work on several new arcade machines for the new phase! 3D artwork is being completed and passed along for the 2D artwork phase!
Steam Deck
We’ve updated the game to support Steam Deck and have re-submitted Tower Unite to Valve for Steam Deck verification.
Controller Support
We also changed controller support a bit more, adding a bind for voice chat and moving quick zoom to the left thumbstick. We also fixed RC cars, spectating and waiting for players issues.
Accelerate SDK
Accelerate’s SDK tools have made significant progress and we now have tools for the Start Line, Track Points, Item Pickups, Boost Volumes, Dirt Volumes, and more underway. This SDK is slated to come out near The Cat Café Update.
Condo I/O - Visibility Volume
We also worked on a new Condo I/O volume, aimed towards helping optimization in larger / complex Condo builds.
This Visibility Volume hides item within it until a visitor is inside the volume, allowing you to section off parts of your Condo maps for optimization purposes.
Server Browser Improvements
We’re also working on improving the server browser by showing what active Gametypes, Mutators, and Workshop maps are currently enabled in the Game World / Condo server, so you can get an idea of what is going on before joining the match.
Condo Fixes
We’ve made some fixes to the Condos as well! These included desync fixes, gizmo fixes, and various item fixes!
We also worked on caching Workshop Sound Emitter browsing, speeding up the process when selecting Workshop sounds as it no longer has to re-download the entire Workshop browser database each time you go to select a sound.
Item Fixes
We also made various fixes to the RC vehicles such as fixes to the steering, first person camera, and engine sounds!
