Dev Log for May 27th, 2025
Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s Tower Unite Dev Log!
Shortly after our last dev log, we finished up work on and released the controller support update as well as the update to the TU soundtrack! Since then we’ve been making progress on the next major update, the Workshop Rental Store, as well as various fixes for UI, Condos, and further Controller Support. There has also been progress on upcoming updates, such as Community Condos!
Workshop Rental Store / Beta
We’ve finished up work on the Workshop Rental Store and are ready to beta test it with you all this week!
Work was completed on traveling to Condos/Maps, the store was expanded with more shelves, we fixed issues where griefing could occur, made changes so that people can’t change what location you go to at the last second, added some sound effects, and added notifications when players are about to group up to travel.
The public beta will likely go up this week to test this out.
Optimization
Work has been ongoing with optimization to the Plaza. We’ve been reducing texture usage, adding more HLODs, optimizing models, and material usage.
Community Condos
Great progress continues to be made on Community Condos!
This week we’ve successfully concluded backend work for Community Condos and have been testing connecting dedicated Condos to our Condo server list. Next up is integrating the changes with the main game, which we plan to do for the Condo Rental Store beta. We plan to have more information about how to host a dedicated Condo during the public beta!
Cooking
Progress is being made on the recipes for cooking! We currently have 92 recipes planned out and plenty more to come. Work was done last week compiling the list of ingredients and outcomes, so now its just a matter of putting more of them together as recipes!
Plenty of the recipes involve fish you can find in the Plaza, and you’ll be able to make lots of different dishes just by using different preparation tools, like blending, grilling, or freezing!
Condo & New Items
Some major fixes were done in Condos, such as the ability to favorite items again. The rental shelves items also got some polish!
We’ve finished new items for the next update which include Cat Café items that will be ready when the Cat Café / Pets update comes out.
Work is also being done on double wide (and thin) variants for the Canvas Elbow and Tube. The tube has been reworked to use two variable sliders instead of one so it’s easier to select which size and division you want.
Miscellaneous Bug Fixes
There’ve also been quite a few fixes to notable bugs and some other changes. These include friends list fixes, a change where the votemap timer now pauses in singleplayer/private matches, further controller support, and bug fixes related to clicking on badges.

That’s a Wrap!
That’s going to do it for this week’s dev log! Be sure to keep an eye out for the next one, and let us know if you’re liking the new bi-weekly format.
