Dev Log for June 9th, 2025

Hello and welcome to the Tower Unite Dev Log for June 9th, 2025!

This week, we’re going to get our Workshop Rental Store beta out to you all! We also have some information on Dedicated Condos, Pets, Items, and the Plaza!

:joystick: DEV STREAM THIS FRIDAY!!

We’ll be doing another Dev Chat on Friday June 13th at 12 PM PST on our Twitch.

:convenience_store: Condo Contest

The June/July 2025 Condo Contest has begun, and the theme is Restaurants & Stores! Your submission can be a build from ANY TIME! The submission period ends on July 6th, 2025 at 11:59 PM CT. Check out the rules and prizes here: June/July 2025 Condo Contest (Restaurants & Stores)

:videocassette: Workshop Rental Store

Development on the Workshop Rental Store has completed and it’s now ready to go for the public beta! Optimizations were completed for the load-in process, and server travel was also completed!



:gear: Dedicated Condo Server Launcher

Dedicated Condos have had significant progress. We finally have the Condos connecting to our server list and are joinable!!

We created a launcher (Windows only) that helps with starting a dedicated condo with all the available settings. This launcher will edit all the configuration files and command lines for you, along with an import system to import condo data to your dedicated condo.

A lot of behind the scenes work went into getting the dedicated condos working. We’re aiming to get dedicated condos in the next public beta.

:paw_prints: Pets

The pet love and energy system has been implemented. This will allow pets to perform actions based on their affection level and energy levels.

We’ve also been defining the cat and dog breeds and variations so that players will have plentiful options for their furry friends.

The adoption system was completed, and the store spawning system was completed as well.

Artwork for the Cat Café has been completed as well!




Work on the dog adoption area (the dog park) is also being done. The dog park will be located in the grassy area by the backer statue garden and Monorail station.

:couch_and_lamp: New Items

Work was completed on new items including portable toilets and outhouses, and several new note items such as the menu chalkboard, bulky tablet, and Aquaslate.


:guitar: Playable Plaza Instruments Return

And as a small thing, we’ve finally re-implemented the playable instruments in Songbirds after their long absence!

:spiral_calendar: June 2025 Calendar

That’s a Wrap!

That’s going to do it for this week’s dev log! Be sure to keep an eye out for the next one!

Wow I love these! Now I don’t need workshop’s portable toilet!
Tablets and tablet Ui will certainly spice things up!

Smart placing the dog area.
It’ll make the plaza one less empty

Also… I LOVE what you did with Rental store sign! Truly nostalgic!

Dog park is so cute oh my god. i love the playable instruments being brought to Songbirds store!! ^o^ i’m very excited about dedicated condos- honestly I love everything. lol

i absolutely adore Tower Condo Rentals store, it makes me feel nostalgic, i grew up with Blockbuster in my town when I was a kid so it’s nice to see something like that in a video game where I can see it all the time now :heart:

I notice the Dedicated Condo Launcher doesn’t have any options for visibility, will we not be able to host a friend’s-only dedicated condo?

Dedicated Condos don’t have knowledge of your Steam friends, as it’s not connected to your Steam account.

Oh bummer.. I was hoping maybe with the Steam token or something it’d be possible. Maybe as a workaround we could get a “private” setting where only whitelisted Steam User IDs are able to join?
