Screenshot Condo Farewell Tour
They say all good things come to an end at some point, and this event is no exception to that sentiment. After almost 3 long years of hosting the Monthly Community Screenshot in Tower Unite, both myself and our Condo Admin team is ready to move on to bigger unannounced projects. This was a really tough decision to make as we had originally considered ending the event abruptly with no prior warning, if not passing the torch onto another Condo Admin. However, after having some extra internal chats with both our Creative Director and MVP Condo Admin from 2024, we felt it’d be better to end it on a higher note by formally announcing it’s pending hiatus.
There’s a lot of questions to be had, so I’ll do my best to answer as many questions as possible in this singular post.
Why stop now?
Funnily enough, the MCS started as a result of me wanting to not play the game back in 2022. I originally wanted to take one big picture just as a sendoff after I got tired of dealing with the same community issues I highlighted in my Steam Review for Tower Unite. When I got encouraged to keep doing the event, I decided to make it a regular event, something that’d be remembered forever even if I stopped playing Tower Unite. After all, that was my goal once I was gifted the game by a loved one.
However, our team started to notice that the adversity we would face when running this event became more prevalent as time went on. It got to a point where it was way too difficult to ignore, and a lot of us were either growing bored or just tired of the game and greater community (both in and out of our event) as a whole. Video games are supposed to be fun at the end of the day, so there’s no point in playing them if they aren’t fun.
At one point, I decided to start the closed beta of a new event project related to the MCS alongside other events that we’re aiming to finish sometime in early-mid 2026. A lot of us fell in love with it so much that there was a sense of dread having to go back to Tower Unite to continue the MCS, and that’s where the ultimate decision to take a hiatus came into play. In addition to all that, my new job simply doesn’t let me run the event the way I’d like to.
Will there be no more screenshot condos?
Not necessarily! With this new event project, we will be able to give the MCS a new boom of life that has yet to be seen with any TU-focused event. One thing is for sure: when this event returns, it will most likely not be in Tower Unite. We just need to take an indefinite hiatus from hosting Tower Unite events to focus on the greater parts of this unannounced project.
When is it all over?
Monthly Community Screenshot #36 held on August 16th, 2025 will be the host of the last officially supported Monthly Community Screenshot. Afterwards, you will likely not see me in Tower Unite for MCS reasons in particular. Once we’ve taken this screenshot, we’ll post the Smooth Dirt and Art Studio variants of the venue on the Workshop so you can experience what the venue was like all on its own with zero restrictions as to where you can go.
TL;DR
- These next 2 screenshots will be the last 2 on Tower Unite, but not the end of the event necessarily.
- We’re on hiatus because of both work and team-related reasons
- There is a secret new event project that hasn’t been released but is a current WIP.
- MCS #36 on August 16th, 2025 is the last screenshot

IMPORTANT SCREENSHOT CONDO TIME CHANGES & RESCHEDULES
Due to the unpredictable nature of life, the PM screenshot’s time slot going forward has been indefinitely changed to be later than before. In addition, June’s 2025 Monthly Community Screenshot #34 has been rescheduled from its original date as seen in the Google Calendar.
New PM Time Slot
Starting on 2025-06-08T00:30:00Z, all PM Monthly Community Screenshot pre-shows will take place at 8:30 PM EST. This time may be subject to changes due to the nature of my career. Previously, the PM MCS pre-show would take place at 6:30 PM EST due to the lack of a busier schedule. However, with these new restrictions in place, I cannot reasonably keep the previous time as I did before. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience to all of those who are affected by this change.
June 2025 Community Screenshot Reschedule
Monthly Community Screenshot #34 has been rescheduled to be held on June 7th, 2025. The Google Calendar and PixelTail Forums have already been updated to reflect these changes, but I will not be in town during the weekend of the 14th, meaning that the event has to be rescheduled. There is a chance I’m still out of town for the following weekend too, so the only Saturday we had left to choose from was the first Saturday of the month. Again, I’m really sorry any inconvenience this may have caused, but life comes first and we will live on.
Thank you for your continued support, and we’ll see you on picture day!

So how does it work?

There are two ways to get your name showcased within our venue:

- You must keep your Server Boost active until we publish all condos to the workshop later in August
- Your spot is permanent once we have completed all workshop uploads.
- Become a Server Supporter for The Tower Hub! When you become a server supporter, you help us pay for the things that directly benefit you: plush giveaways, keeping the lights on for bots like Trover, formerly known as Hampter Ball, and new things like merchandise for the community.
- All Server Supporters will also have the opportunity to have their profile picture of choice featured in addition to their name. It’s our way of extending our thanks to you for your long-time support.
- You must keep your Server Supporter status active until we publish all condos to the workshop later in August

With all that being said, we present to you: Monthly Community Screenshot #35
