Author Topic: [MEGATHREAD] Tower Unite - Steam Keys are rollin' out!  (Read 13780 times)


From the same people that brought you GMod Tower, Elevator: Source, and Cinema...
A one of a kind online social game for PC, full of multiplayer games, activities, synchronized media, and ZERO microtransactions.


What is Tower Unite?
Tower Unite is a community-based virtual world party game with online games, entertainment, and activities. Powered by Unreal Engine 4.

Every aspect of Tower Unite allows for online multiplayer interaction. It's a living and evolving online game world, driven by the community. Play games online with your friends, or make new friends from around the world.

Tower Unite isn't just a single game. It's a union of games, united by the community. It's all about having fun with friends!

Tower Unite will be available on PC, Mac, and Linux - distributed via Steam.

OK, what can I do?
  • Play multiplayer games of various genres online with friends.
  • Customize yourself with clothing and accessories.
  • Use lots of different movement items such as jetpacks, wings, and rollerblades.
  • Furnish and design the layout of your personal space (the Condo) with furniture and interactive toys.
  • Join official servers or host your own server.
  • Hang out at a nightclub and listen to music synchronized with the environment and every other player!
  • Invite other players over to your Condo for parties and mini-games.

Remember when games had a single price for all the content?
We do. Which is why Tower Unite has ABSOLUTELY...


  • NO MICROTRANSACTIONS
  • NO SUBSCRIPTIONS
  • NO PREMIUM CURRENCY

Pay once and never again! Enjoy all that Tower Unite has to offer for just $15.

And if that's not good enough...


  • Steam Workshop support so players can add their own custom items to the game.
  • Receive free DLC for life and developer support.
  • Interact in new ways with gamepad support, and additional peripheral support in future updates.

We also plan to use every Steam feature available to us including: Steam Cloud, Inventory, Friends, VOIP, Achievements, Trading Cards, and Steam Workshop.
We'll be working towards proper VR intregration, starting with Oculus Rift and Vive!

This sounds oddly familiar...
Tower Unite is a spiritual successor of one of the most popular gamemodes on Garry’s Mod, GMod Tower. GMod Tower, which runs on the Source Engine, is where we invented the core ideas and concepts for Tower Unite. GMod Tower has been available for free to the public for over five years and has constantly evolved.

One of our strongest influence is our community. We have listened, discussed with, and implemented ideas that our players came up with. We wouldn't be here if it weren't for our community’s undying support for us. We’re proud to have 30 thousand active users on GMod Tower!

We’re keeping that same attitude for Tower Unite. That’s why everything that we implement will be made for the community or requested by the community. Just like we did with GMod Tower, we aim to have constant free feature updates for Tower Unite.

Sounds cool, where can I get it?
Tower Unite is currently in development, but can you can back them on their Indiegogo page to get alpha access when it releases. Be sure to check out the Steam Greenlight page, too.


Game Worlds
Game Worlds are large multiplayer games that you can enjoy with 6-18 players, depending on the world’s rules.

I was thinking about making this.

They've definitely got more content than they first had and I would say that it's drawing me in more than previous. I'd be likely to buy the game once it comes out if not back it. If I back it, I'd get the version where you get four copies of the game.

Would there possibly be a raffle involved for those?

TOWER BATTLE
This looks cool.

How is this going to last if it's a one time purchase? Not to say I like microtransactions, but for a game like this you kind of need it to keep servers up.

I was kinda thinking the exact same thing. Players will be able to host their own servers, so that may keep it alive if they start losing revenue. Not sure.

oh look it has a go-kart racing mini-game.

kinda reminds me of a race where I just destroyed someone in a race...can't imagine who I bet that guard rail tasted horrible
