This type of topic makes me quite sad. We’ve been working really hard on Tower Unite and we’re only about 10 months into development on Tower Unite. GMT was being developed off and on for over 5 years, of course it’s going to have more stuff than Tower Unite.
We have detailed countless times why we left GMod, so I’m not going to spend anymore time on that subject.
However, I find it quite upsetting that after each update that we put so much work into, people think Tower Unite will just be what it is. We’ve been changing quite a lot and we’re no where near done. We’ve been working on Bowling (which could never have been done in GMT), and the Casino (which is going to be better than GMT, the slots already without payouts have better visuals), and the Arcade (which would be impossible to do in GMT), and the Monorail (which we tried, but ultimately found GMod to be quite limiting), and several things that the Plaza was going to have.
We’re the same developers of GMod Tower, we’ve gotten the entire team back. We’re older, more experienced, and have way more advanced ideas this time around. And we’re working on this full time, unlike GMT. We’re going to make a better game than GMT. As someone who loves GMT very dearly, I find Tower Unite just a few steps away from GMT already.
You can make memories in Tower Unite right now. I see it happening, even without the Casino. People express themselves through their Condos, through raging at Minigolf, through random conga line parties in the Plaza. Even with it unfinished, the original charm of GMT is there at its core. And we’ll keep shining a light on it and making it play like GMT.
We’re dealing with a lot more than we had to with GMT this time around, though. We have more responsibilities. We have engine work, networking, designing with player hosted servers in mind, a completely different engine, etc. The things we’ve achieved are quite impressive and will only be more impressive as time goes on.
I’m sorry, but saying stuff like “GMT was better” doesn’t really help us. We’re done with that chapter. The only direction is forward now.
