Q: What Is This Crap?
Its called Tower Unite. Its an :siren: early access :siren: title on steam for $15 USD. With all things early access, its best to buy this without any expectations for the future. The price will remain the same throughout the game development, so theres no harm in waiting.

Q: Is this related to that one Garrys Mod thing?
A: You mean the Gmod Tower server in Garry's Mod? Then this game needs no more introduction. With the power of steam and early access, Tower Unite is the next evolution of this game, (which is honestly a charitable definition of it.)

Q: I didn't play Garry's Mod :(..

A: Let's hear it from the horse's mouth on the Steam Store page:

quote:

Tower Unite is a living, evolving world, fueled by the community. Play online games with your friends or make new friends from around the world!...
-Play minigames such as Minigolf, Ball Race, Virus, and more!
-Earn items
-Hang with your friends in your own personalized house
-Connect with others through a massive Plaza with various attractions and games
-Party with friends!
-Watch synchronized media such as YouTube or Soundcloud
-Suggest new features - we listen!
-No microtransactions or subscription fees
Essentially its a walking simulator with tacked on minigames, the ability to hang with virtual friends in houses watching YouTube together, and gain virtual currency by taking part of random game-world activities like Minigolf, Not-Monkey Ball, trivia, bowling, casino games, and so on. If youre familiar with Sony PlayStation Home, or Second Life, this would be a similar experience to it.

Q: But why would you compare it to Second Life? Isn't that where closeted shut-ins make universes filled with *really messed up stuff* ripped straight out of Deviant Art?

A: My dude, the very first player-space I visited (referred to as "condos") had practically every free inch of wall space occupied with things that would make your mother cry. Between playing mini-games and buying weird bubble guns and cat treasure chest things, I've been visiting condos and sometimes you'll be lucky enough to see some really cool nerd havens. Sometimes you'll go into a condo that has a mini-game of sorts (one player made his condo a 3D hidden-object game for visitors to play). Other times you'll find people sync-watching funny videos on Youtube. But lets be real here. Many times you'll find NWS/NMS ADTRW garbage that makes you concerned for the direction of humanity in general. You really don't know what to expect when entering someone's house, which makes exploring kind of cool, if not slightly dangerous for your mental health.

Media
Anyway, heres some safe screenshots which I've stolen without asking from the screenshots megathread. I hope Light Gun Man, which i'll at least credit by username, wont threaten to murder me.





Anywho, as you can tell from the above, you can throw pretty much everything and anything into your house. So come join me in the most twisted internet safari game of this summer (maybe if it doesn't die in EA)

ta-ta!
