Weekly Dev Log for October 7th, 2024

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

Halloween 2024 Condo Contest

Hey everyone!

It’s time again for the Halloween Condo Contest!

The theme is Halloween, so make a Condo or Game World Map that fits the spooky season! Whether that’s a haunted house full of scares or a festive and cozy Halloween party, as long as it’s in the Halloween spirit, we want to see it!

Note: Your submission can be something made any time, as long as it hasn’t been submitted to a previous contest (or, if it has been submitted, has been significantly updated).

The submission period ends on October 23rd, 2024 at 11:59 PM CT.

Be sure to look at the prizes and follow the rules here.

Minigolf: Dino Drive

@Nuclearxpotato continued working on Dino Drive.

Dino Drive is divided into two distinct halves: an outdoor putt-putt minigolf course, and an interior monster golf area.

I was thinking of backgrounds for the profile card you open after clicking on the player in players list. Hope that (and maybe some more) will come too - I love profile decorations

Will the profile backgrounds support using your Steam mini-profile background, or just ones that come with the game?
