# Weekly Dev Log for March 28th, 2022 Hello everyone, and welcome to the Weekly Dev Log for March 28th, 2022, detailing all the changes that have happened since March 21st, 2022. **_Note: Devs that don’t appear in the weekly log are not necessarily away or not doing work, but may be working on things currently not announced or backend work that doesn’t need to be detailed._** ## 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](https://forums.pixeltailgames.com/t/accessibility-related-suggestions-megathread/40333). ## March / April 2022 Condo Contest (IN PROGRESS) Hey everyone! This month’s contest is another structure building contest! As always, feel free to interpret that how you see fit. There is no theme, so you can build any kind of building you want and have fun with it! Also, feel free to expand on preexisting Condos! Want to add another floor to the default Condo, build a shed in the backyard of the House Condo, or have other additions in mind? Go for it! The deadline to submit entries is April 10th, 2022 at 11:59 PM CT. You can read the rules [here](https://forums.pixeltailgames.com/t/march-april-2022-condo-contest-structures/44686). ## Update 0.15.1.0 We’re currently working on Update 0.15.1.0, which will bring numerous optimizations and the new Zombie Massacre map, Acrophobia. You can view the planned fixes and changes [here](https://trello.com/c/T9kyuJnC/648-update-01510). ## Controller Support @macdguy has been working on improving controller support. Controller support is coming along nicely. The backend for controller systems is all setup and finalized now. Adding controller support to various menus is pretty complex as it’s case by case. For example, in Zombie Massacre, controller support had to be coded to be intuitive and select the first possible upgrade when highlighting while using controller, then highlight the unlock button for you. There’s also a bunch of minor changes for each menu to handle which buttons should be active and which should not, etc. Luckily the system made now handles all of this with ease, but we still have to go through each menu and think about how the controller will highlight each part of the menus. > **Controller Support: Zombie Massacre Menu** [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/i-bttJFdymM/maxresdefault.jpg "Tower Unite Dev Log 03/28/2022 - Controller Support: Zombie Massacre Menu") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-bttJFdymM) ## Zombie Massacre @Johanna finished working on Zombie Massacre: Acrophobia. @macdguy helped get Zombie Massacre: Acrophobia ready for release. He made changes to the Mercenary class by removing “Focus Shoot” and replacing it with the “Drone Buddy”. Drone Buddy will follow the player while shooting at zombies around them. He also worked on adding controller support to the menu. @Sketchman finished working on achievement icons for Zombie Massacre: Acrophobia. > **Zombie Massacre: Drone Buddy** [![](https://clan.steamstatic.com/images/11783817/eac257e9fd58e66b87fca3a4b0c5c2aa370538a8.png) ](https://clan.steamstatic.com/images/11783817/eac257e9fd58e66b87fca3a4b0c5c2aa370538a8.png) [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/MIS37BarIoQ/maxresdefault.jpg "Tower Unite Dev Log 03/28/2022 - Zombie Massacre: Drone Buddy Demo") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIS37BarIoQ) ## Third Party Plushies / Statues @joshua has been working on the Third Party Plushies we’ve talked about in the past. We’re hoping very soon to have these released, and available to obtain in the Arcade. > **Current Third Party Plushies/Statues** [![](https://clan.steamstatic.com/images/11783817/62ab54e25b34d634fdbcbed6eb2ee1e5c1b64ac2.jpg) ](https://clan.steamstatic.com/images/11783817/62ab54e25b34d634fdbcbed6eb2ee1e5c1b64ac2.jpg) > **Credits (from Left to Right)** Dr. Poque from Mega 64 Credit: Rocco Botte from Mega 64 [https://mega64.com/](https://mega64.com/) Kamikaze Melon and Zeeky H.
