GMTower 10th Anniversary Release Announcement

Why is the TV not in my suite working?

Are you running the chromium beta branch on Gmod? Cause thatā€™s the only way that TVs can work.

Yes. I can enable my TV but canā€™t add any media. The public tv seems to work fine.

Also is it one another weird idea again Pixeltail? Why canā€™t I join an already running game (and have to wait over 10 minutes long for Source karts for example)
And remove the god damn minimum amount of players in Ball Race, Minigolf, Source Karts, Zombie Massacre. Set the amount lower in (edit:) MP Poker, Virus, Chimera Hunt and PVP Battle. The lobby server is dead right now so unplayable.

One more thing, I wish you guys added the new casino games I saw in Lobby 2 in this map but without them its bland. A disappointing relaunch and this took a month of time man.

Isnā€™t that how it always worked in GMT? Canā€™t comment much on everything else you said but it was always confirmed to be back in Lobby 1 without any of the new stuff from Lobby 2. It kinda sucks that the casino is missing stuff, but it would have taken even longer for them to redesign the old casino and implement the newer machines. At least now itā€™s out and people can enjoy the nostalgia whenever they need a fix :stuck_out_tongue:

The server is dead right now so people canā€™t enjoy it at anytime. And I still have to wait to play a game world I wanna play when its not. Pixeltail should have spent one more week of time for a better GMTower experience, an OK experience, because its so embarrassing to play this with friends they havenā€™t played back then.

The reality of the situation is testing (Especially on a smaller team) is rarely representative of the state of the game when itā€™s actually released. At launch, Caboose noted that most of the issues happening werenā€™t present in testing.

Also, factoring in the age of the code, and various GMod updates, instability is pretty much inevitable. They couldā€™ve spent another month or two really refining it, but it would be a long time to not really fix all that much.

Personally, most of the launch issues have been ironed out for me, and it seems thereā€™s only the occasional server outage. Though they definitely havenā€™t abandoned it, and are still fixing and maintaining it.

Your complaints are valid, but all the factors behind everything are complicated.

The minor bugs theyā€™ve listed are okay D: but I hope very much they fix the TV, (casino) and gameplay Issues I said. By the way I have here and there missing models, textures and animations but Iā€™m not sure if this is just on my end (one example is in the electronic store) but I can live with it. Do you see any errors?

Edit: Final thoughts

No game events, Canā€™t purchase every item (Fog machine), TV queue is still not working so the TV is useless in the suite, Arcade is a joke, No Lobby 2 Casino games, No case-sensitive partitions in mind, Virus plays slow and unbalanced with less players also players have a harder time to infect it seems & Minigolf is just pure strange.

The Ball Race in GMTower is interesting. The controls are stiff, heavy and slow but when you guys copied the levels almost 1:1 you should have made some changes for Tower Uniteā€™s orb like some platforms in have a purpose to screw you while in Tower Unite you can just roll on them like normal. But the game mode is okay, same with Zombie Massacre. I donā€™t like the controls in Source Kart and I didnā€™t test UCH. PVP Battle works fine.

This is a bad experience guys and I canā€™t show this to my friends. Waiting waiting and the server freeze causing Enjoying GMTower e-begging message is embarrassing. Two Months for nothingā€¦
