Tower Unite is a Recent Indie Game made by Pixeltail Games that came out in early access this year on April. It's in early access so it doesn't have much stuff,

Updates are very slow but show very promising content. The makers, including their head MacDGuy, always listens to their fans for any problems with the game.

For those of you unaware, tower unite started in December 2008 as a mod in garry's mod called GMod Tower.

it became one of the most popular mods on garry's mod, up there with prop hunt. They had great gamemodes that you and your friends could play. Like minigolf, ballrace, virus, zombie massacre, ultimate chimera hunt, and more. You get coins to buy furniture for your condo, hats, player skins, etc. They also had A casino with slots, a theatre that can play YouTube videos, and a nightclub that can play music from SoundCloud.

After a few years and in 2015, Pixeltail was getting fed up with the server costs. Because of the large amount of content, they had to pay valve hundreds of dollars a month. They made a donation thing to help out, but they decide to move to bigger things. They decided to make Their mod into an actual game by building it from the ground up with unreal engine. They putted tower unite on kickstarter but the funding failed because kickstarter lacked PayPal support, so they moved to Indiegogo and the game got successfully funded. Gmod tower got discontinued on the release day and tower unite became available on steam. So far, its doing good, but they had to not bring over all of their stuff from gmod tower because 70% of the content were from other franchises and companies and there was no legal way of making it happen.

So far, the game is really making good progress. They always listen to their fans for any qusstions and concerns with bugs and glitches.

Thr first gamemode is called, ballrace. It's played alot like super monkey ball (another game sega made) you collect bananas and try to make it to the goal.

Here's a video of captainsparklez playing ballrace with eatmydiction1, Markiplier, and therpgminx:

In tower unite, they had to rep!ace the bananas with watermelons.
 
I want to get this, but a streamer I watch plays this a lot and in the end its just them playing the gambling machines. Fun to watch, I guess.

 
Hey, wanted to get this thread up again for the heck of it.


Anyways, little crusaders was released.

It's a game mode where a bunch of knights controlled by players try to poke button on the dragons back. While the dragon that a player controls try to eat all the knights

Heres the trailer


In gmod tower, it was called Ultilmate Chimaera Hunt. Where players play as pig masks and one player plays as the Ultilmate Chimaera from mother 3


Here's a video of Captainsparklez, TheRPGMinx, Markiplier, and EatmyDiction1 play UCH when it was around

fishing is getting good progress.

more upgrades. like the fire and ice dragon for little crusaders.

new ballrace map. Woodlands, a re-creation of grass world from GMod Tower

new zombie massacre map. Village

vehicle base was finished, meaning that accelerate is gonna go into development soon.

and more improvements and new minigames.

i also heard from mac that there are gonna be two dragons now for little crusaders in the future.

good vlog. when i saw the fire and ice dragon skins, i was immediately reminded of chilli Billi and Chilly Willy from Banjo-tooie

the game has been updated.

Accelerate has been added to the game in its Alpha stage


back in Gmod Tower, it was called Source Karts, and it was pretty much like Mario Kart. it was a fun gamemode. but later on at some point, valve was messing around with the car physics in the source engine. players were complaining that the controls for the karts were bad now because they were acting slippery, thus fucking up the gamemode.

here's captainsparklez playing source karts with seananners, eatmydiction1, minx, and markiplier


accelerate seems to have better controls now. so far the only map that can be voted for is pine valley, but there are more maps being worked on.

also, workshop karts are planned, but right now in the meantime. players in TU's community are adding playermodels specifically for accelerate. here's one that i like

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2148215556 spongebob driving the rock from pizza delivery.

theres others too. crash bandiccot in his kart from crash nitro racing, the patty wagon from the spongebob movie, initial d car, the delorean from back to the future, the ecto 1 from ghostbusters, a hot wheels car, flintstones car, the simpsons car, and more.
 
Shamelessly bumping this thread as I've gotten back into Tower Unite after several years and it seems that last year there's been an addition to the game worthy of a mention:
1705435689359.png

SDNL: SLAUGHTERDAY NIGHT LIVE
It's a new arena FPS gamemode with a big variety of weapons and sub-gamemodes (CTF, TDM, InstaGib, GunGame, Arcade, and many more).
SDNL is still being worked on, so there are still bugs and features lacking, but overall it's very much playable and is probably one of the most enjoyable additions in recent years (for those of us who enjoy fast-paced FPS action, at least). If you've ever played Jabroni Brawl this gamemode is very similar to that.
Another thing worthy of mention is it has Steam Workshop support for maps (a bit rough right now, but it's a good sign that that's being worked on).

Also, the soundtrack is an absolute banger.
