I wonder how much of it is there just for visitor shock humor value or if the condo owner genuinely gets off on that stuff?

Yo a fairly simple but major patch hit tonight.

First off they added a condo that's basically the lobby theatre place but you can decorate it. It's ok. They also made major updates/fixes to the underwater condo which are rad as hell, like now the tubes in the basement warp you to and from the other domes.

And most importantly of all, you can now scale items. You can go 10x original size or like, 0.1 I think size? This is fun as hell and is gonna open up so much bullshit.

here is me, dead, on the top of a giant beer


fuckin around with a quick google search and a scaled up body pillow


basketball: easy mode


And hey since it's been awhile since I posted rando bullshit screens, here's some rando bullshit screens.

and here's me hitting a developer of the game in the dick with a snowball

It's not working out too well...
This game looks pretty cool. I never experienced GModTower, but I did play around with GMod Cinema, which I think was also done by the same people. The minigames don't grab me as much as the little clubhouse building stuff does.

What sorts of things can you import in? Is it just images and YouTube videos? I know there was another thing from a while back called New Retro Arcade Neon that let you play emulators through in a virtual arcade.

EDIT: There was also another one called Anarchy Arcade, which had a similar setup, where it was front-end/virtual desktop kind of thing where you could pull up other games and stuff.

Hey I haven't updated this thread in awhile, sorry about that.

TOWER NEWS: A major patch hit, many new items are now on sale, and a new minigame now exists called Zombie Massacre. It's basically a topdown twinstick style shooting game, but it has several classes with their own abilities, is 6 player co-op, and has a shitload of different weapons and stuff. It's fun.

But I know you wanna see random bullshit, so let's party.

These two are :nws: for furry porn but I loving laughed. It's hard to tell from static images but the vending machine, when activated, shoots out cans of soda. They uh, collide with the second image in a humorous fashion.

I bought this on the holiday sale but didn't want to bump this thread to ask if it was as dead as it seemed.


Maybe I'm just not playing at peak hours (and from what I understand there's no "dedicated" server type of thing where you can leave your condo up even if you're not online) but there were maybe 20 servers up at any time and maybe 4 of those were actually populated.


I guess the true tell of the game's health is that I didn't even see one of those nothing-but-hentai-wallpaper houses.

I am, off and on. This weekend had double tickets at the arcade so it got somewhat crowded in there. Usually i see something like 200-700 players online, there's a count on the main start screen in the corner you can check.

Time of day / what day it is can def have an effect. If you stay up late you can sort of notice when it must be PC time in other countries, like certain hours of the night you'll see more people from Turkey, Korea, Japan, etc. Tokyo server seems more active on like Saturday nights and stuff like that.

People will be in various places including:

their own hosted houses, or visiting other ones
in the game world servers actually playing or prepping to play a minigame
on the plaza servers hanging out or playing the plaza minigames
maybe even just sitting idle at the main menu


There are maybe?? a shadow number of people just hanging out in unlisted private houses too at any given time. Like if you see 100 people online but not that many on listed servers, that could be happening.

If any goons get the game and want a guided tour of stuff lemme know, I'm id/cryomancer/ on steam.

edit: been a couple years, suppose I could post some screenshots since then

^^^Can you please use timg tags instead of img? These blow out browsers and make navigating threads needlessly annoying.

I saw a condo called "Pink Palace 18+" so naturally I took a look.

I was greeted with this:



The spiral staircase as described:



I figured if three of the teleports were wrong, then the top-most one would be right. I was correct. She wasn't lying. I saw her nudes. They were meh. The staircase is a lot higher than it looks.

View from part way up:



I'll get more screenshots of my next adventure. Kinda half-assed this one cause it was late and I was tired.

When i made this thread I got mod permissions to not use timg in it, since it was gonna be mostly screenshots anyway. Sorry if it's a problem. I suppose as old as this is now, it might have been totally different mod staff at the time, hmm. I guess I can stop if I do more?

And yeah houses with photos of IRL people in them weird me the gently caress out. I guess do your thing, but drat. I've seen some with what were probably like some guy posting photos of his crush or whatever and i'm like uhhhhhhhhh :ohno:

People make some weird poo poo for this game. I just finished playing a weird Matrix game someone set up in their Studio condo. It starred Agent 47 from Hitman, also. Because of course it did.

The into/clues:



So off to "Become the director", then:



Walking up to the camera transported me into the Matrix:

'



Walking up to the TV teleported me onto the Nebuchadnezzar:



Exploring for a bit led me to an exit, which bizarrely transported me back to the studio:





I then turned around as suggested in the book and walked into the set, which transported me again:





Walking into the building, I have to check in with Agent 47. Or is that Tobias Reiper?



Anyway, I went into the red disk/teleporter on the desk and it just took me back to the studio, so I did all of it again to get back and went in the opposite direction to a temple:



...and it was there that I found a hidden teleporter to the hidden porn gallery (there was also a hole in the wall that also transported me back to the studio):







The porn was very bland, but getting there way interesting and weird. This game is fun.

I picked this up on the Steam sale and have been enjoying the heck out of the minigolf. It's definitely better multiplayer minigolf than any other game I've played.

Everything else I've tried to far ranges from "janky but charming" to "downright awful (but still kinda charming)".

Is there a way to limit a minigame to just your friends? I'll often start a minigolf game with one or two of my friends, and invariably someone else joins. It's not generally a big deal, but we got a real rear end in a top hat today that we had to block, but we still had to wait for him to play, and he kept running the timer out on every hole.

I think there should be an option for friends only if you make your game from the main menu you get when you're not connected to a server. Making a game from the plaza always makes it public. I can confirm that later if you want but I am fairly sure that's correct.

It could probably be done, yeah. I made a few nods to it in one of my builds. I have a framed photo of it on the wall, and a texture of insulation on one of the stairs. I started that decorating that place thinking "I am going to make intentionally stupid choices" in it's honor and that's why I have a hardwood driveway.

Got back into this over the last week after convincing my partner to redownload, which caused a few friends to reinstall, which caused more friends to buy in, which...

All told the last 5 days or so we had an honest to god rolling party of 4-10 people, usually resting around 8. It's been crazy fun going around everything in a mob - casino to gamble and yell at each other for being good at hold em, hitting minigames for a couple good rounds, heading back to each other's condos one at a time to ooh and aah at our separate nightclub aesthetics we're all stealing and putting on stupid yt videos on each other's TVs, and all of us unilaterally wishing to die playing minigolf. This game rules. May it never die.
