The plaza is decked out for another spooky Halloween event!
Enjoy the haunted festivities by collecting remains, finding bones, and unlocking various Halloween exclusive items. Be sure to check out the Ghoulcery, because it is back again with new items for you to spend your Ghoul Coins on. And, if you search the coast line, you’ll see that a maze has once again surfaced to be explored!

Last year we added various Halloween-exclusive achievements, EXP, and milestones, and they're back again this year. Participate in new quests and scavenger hunts throughout the plaza to earn them, and be sure to check them out in your collection book, too! You can earn Halloween EXP for participating in Halloween events such as Halloween minigames, collecting candy or remains, completing Halloween achievements, and completing Halloween quests!

As you increase your Halloween EXP, you can unlock Halloween milestones such as throwable blood wine and a drivable Minecart!

While playing games in Tower Unite during this year's Halloween event, you'll earn Ghoul Coins. These coins can be redeemed in the Plaza for Halloween items. You can earn them by playing Plaza minigames or Game Worlds. This year you can earn Ghoul Coins at the Arcade and through Fishing!



The Plaza minigames have not been left out of the Halloween fun. Participate in the Ghost Hunting and Pumpkin Smash minigames on the Event platform, and you uncover a lot of pumpkins along the way!

We've been hard at work adding improvements to the condo building system and this update includes a powerful new tool - multi-select! Now you can hold down shift and select multiple items at once with the gizmo system, and drag, rotate, and even copy items all at once with the alt-drag feature! Got a desk with 15 screens on it? With multi-select you can select your desk, all 15 screens and move it into another room all without ruining their positions.



Be on the look out for more Halloween updates coming later towards the end of this month!

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Weekly Dev Log for October 11th, 2021, detailing all the changes that have happened since October 4th, 2021. 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.

Thank you again to everyone who participated in our survey. We had a whopping 6,700+ responses!

You can view the results of this survey here.

As we've done in the past, the theme for October's contest is Halloween!

Feel free to interpret that how you like, whether that means making a haunted forest maze, a creepy basement, a chill Halloween party, or anything else, so long as it follows the rules and reasonably suits the theme.

The contest ends on October 27th, 2021, at 11:59 PM CT.

View the contest rules here!

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.

Work is finishing up on the next update, which will include the return of the Halloween Events with new Halloween Items, as well as other bug fixes and improvements.

You can read everything planned for this update here.

Johanna continued working on the shooting gallery ride, focusing on the basement of the Spooky Mansion as well as the Hell dimension.

Wheezwer continued working on the paintings for the shooting gallery ride, as well as making the targets.






JJosh started working on the other Bowling NPC.

Lifeless continued working on the new Little Crusaders map.

Laser Tag has a new look! Maneuver your way around the new sea and space themed arena, fending off the opposing teams around new terrain, including more ramps, barriers, and vantage points!




The teams and their respective hubs have also been given a color update, to make them more visible. Charging stations should be clearer as well.

More updates to Laser Tag gameplay will come in a future update!

The long awaited private theater system is now here! Just like the Volt Nightclub’s karaoke rooms, you can now rent out a theater space for you and your friends to enjoy videos in the Plaza together privately. You can also invite others in by answering their knocking at the door!

Enjoy the full theatre experience by grabbing a drink at the in-theater bar and selecting light options at the settings panel by the door to set the mood.




The surface editor now displays all the materials in a larger way, making it easier to find materials. It also keeps track of the currently selected surface, along with automatically highlighting the current surface. It supports canvases and displays canvases for fast access to already used canvases. Several bugs have been ironed out as well, along with many surfaces having world align variants that they previously did not have.



One of our main focuses for this update was bug fixes, and it sports quite a few. We've gone through and resolved several collision bugs, voice chat issues, workshop load-in issues for condos, and much more.

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.

Last week, we released a hotfix to fix some issues with the previous update.

Hotfix 0.14.3.2 Changelog

Work continues on the next update to Tower Unite, Update 0.14.4.0, which will introduce the Private Theaters, rentable private screens for you and your friends complete with a bar!

This update will also include the new Lazer Tag arena, as well as Track 2 to the Accelerate map, "Sunrise Isles".

In addition, this update will include several quality of life changes and bug fixes.

You can view our current progress on this update here.

macdguy continued working on finishing Private Theatres. He completed the booking system, the theatre system, the bar, along with other features.

Johanna continued working on the Shooting Gallery ride.

JJosh worked on new prizes and plushes for the Arcade, as well as updated NPCs for the Bowling Alley.

Wheezwer continued working on Murals and Wanted Posters for the Shooting Gallery ride.

Will continued working on music and sounds for the Arcade.











macdguy added drifting and ramp support to vehicles, made the platform in Smooth Dirt toggle-able, and added a new "Placeable Dynamic Light Shadow" feature. He also continued working on Condo I/O, this week working on push and trigger volumes.

madmijk worked on optimizing the code for the Laser Projector item.

Sketchman worked on various tweaks and improvements to the Gizmo system, and also made improvements to the High Rise condo.


This new feature adds a new setting to the settings menu to allow placeable lights to cast shadows. This feature can be extremely expensive, but can improve lighting in the condo and help condo builders convey their intended design.


The Gizmos will now keep a steady size on the screen, regardless how close or far away the player is. Players can now also translate, rotate, and scale multiple items at once!



























Chris continued working on new vehicles for use as props and upgrades.

macdguy continued working on adding VR support.
