Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s Tower Unite Dev Log!

Winter 2024-25 Condo Contest

Hey everyone,

The 2024-25 Winter Condo Contest has started!

As usual, we’re doing a Winter / Festivity theme.

So, your build should be either: winter-related, themed after winter holidays / holiday activities (including New Years), or generally wintry and festive!

The submission period ends on January 22nd, 2025 at 11:59 PM.

Next Update

We’re hard at work and very close to completion on our next update, which we’re aiming for release this week.

The upcoming Plaza update is heavy on optimizations, bug fixes, and new additions! We’ve fixed over a hundred Plaza related bugs in this update!

It’ll also bring with it new Holiday items, and a bunch of highly requested items.

You can read everything slated for this update on our Trello page.

Miscellany

@Johanna worked on wrapping up the changes to the Plaza for the next update.

@Lifeless spent some time working on Accelerate, specifically with issues with rubber-banding when boosting. He also worked on separating the tracks, making them individual maps instead of one map with two different tracks.

@macdguy worked on bug fixes and Plaza changes for the next update. He also setup the Vroomspeed store, and worked on leaderboards, achievements, audio passes, and special Minigolf hazards for the Minigolf map, Dino Drive.

@Nuclearxpotato worked on implementing food items for Cooking. He also continued working on the backlog of requested furinture items, this week working on Vintage Filing Cabinets, a Utility Cabinet, some Booth Sectional pieces, a Wood Four-post Bed, and a Brass Frame Bed.

@Sketchman continued working on optimizations and fixes for the next update, specifically focusing on optimizations with the Lobby Scoreboard, a reduction in hard references (which should help with loading times), and more.

Upcoming New Furniture Items

That’s a Wrap!

Thank you for reading and we’ll see you all next week for more!
