Weekly Dev Log for September 16th, 2024

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

Next Update - Update 0.18.1.0

We’re very close to releasing the next update. We’re wrapping up some last minute bugs from our playtesting and we are getting everything ready for release.

This update features improvements and changes to Plaza, Workshop 3.0 Rig, Zombie Massacre Map Maker, Ball Race Map Maker, a new ZM boss, and new items, along with tons of fixes and improvements to the game.

You can follow our progress on the update here.

Miscellany

Since we have been working on getting the update out, and focusing primarily on bug fixes, we don’t have any images to show this week.

@Johanna worked on optimizing the Plaza, while continuing to work on the Virus map, Theme Park.

@Joshua worked on upcoming Halloween items.

@Lifeless continued working on the Zombie Massacre map, Escape. He also fixed some map bugs in Frostbite, Corrosion, Throne Room, and Waterhole.

@macdguy worked on VR, specifically IK hands. He also worked on bug fixes for the Ball Race, Zombie Massacre, and Minigolf Map Makers, along with bug fixes in Zombie Massacre and Virus’s horde mode. He also worked on fixing some long standing bugs, such as the player models not saving upon first launch of the game and Ace always being high in poker.

@Nuclearxpotato continued working on the Minigolf map, Dino Drive.

@Sketchman finished work on the new workshop skeleton, as well as fixing major bugs and crashes.

@Will worked on music for SDNL and helped playtest VR.

That’s a Wrap!

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

I wonder if the “rippling” heat effect will be available for the post process volume - would be really cool to use for heated areas.
