February 2022 Condo Contest (Forest Theme) - IN PROGRESS!
Hey everyone!
We’re back with another Condo Contest for you all! This month’s theme is “Forest”!
The deadline to submit entries is February 28th, 2022 at 11:59 PM CT.
You can read more about the rules, prizes, and how to submit your condo here.
Accessibility Suggestions
We’ve created a forum post asking the community for suggestions on how we can improve gameplay for players with certain conditions such as colorblindness, dyslexia, or anything else that might affect a players ability to use the standard presentation and controls of the game.
If you have any ideas or suggestions, and possible solutions on how to solve a particular issue, please check out the forum post here.
Developer Stream: Connectivity Plans + Condo Hub
Last week, we showed off our future plans for more connectivity in Tower Unite on a developer livestream. As part of these plans, we showed off the new Condo Hub, which will be in the next update.
The Condo Hub is connected to all Plaza servers, and can be accessed from the Main Menu and Pause Menu.

Workshop Condo Video Rental
A future addition to the Condo Hub will be a Workshop Condo Video Rental Store (name pending). This rental store will serve a similar purpose to the Condo Hub, but will instead be focused around Workshop Condos.
Players and their friends can browse among the different cassettes, each of which is a Workshop Condo, organized in different isles by “New Releases”, “Popular”, and a “Random” selection.
Once you and your friends have made a selection, bring the cassette to a terminal which will feature a teleporter pad, which will bring you and your friends to that selected workshop condo.
We’ll have more to show as development progresses.
@Johanna started working on the Workshop Condo Video Rental store.

Tower Glove
In the Developer Livestream, we also showed off the upcoming Tower Glove, which will combine all of the previous and future Condo tools into one convenient item. No more having to juggle around your inventory for the Copycat, Scaler, and Locker tools.
@macdguy worked on integrating all of the condo tools into the Tower Glove, as well as creating the different UI screens.
