Rec Room UPDATE - the "Electric Sheep" edition
[h2]We're live on Android![/h2]
Some of you have already noticed this, but Rec Room is now available on Android everywhere! Download on the Play Store to start playing Rec Room on your Android phone or tablet! Device not supported? We'll be routinely supporting new devices with future updates. Also with this update, we now support notifications (friend invites, event reminders, etc.), just like on iOS!
[h2]Self-Scaling Improvements[/h2]
We've made an (long-overdue) update to self-scaling! This should tackle a bunch of Quality-of-Life issues:
[h2](Not-Self!) Scaling Improvements[/h2]
We've touched up the Scale tool a little bit! Non-uniform scaling (using the colored scale handles on shapes, trigger volumes, invisible collision, etc.) should now behave more intuitively in world-space mode, taking into account the rotation of the object, and anchoring it in a reasonable spot. Check it out! We've also fixed two little bugs along the way:
[h2]Maker Pen Touch Controls[/h2]
The Maker Pen now has touch controls for every tool that work by tapping objects directly on screen. Whether you are selecting, moving, recoloring, configuring, deleting, or even spawning props... there's a tap for that! Some tools/elements support dragging interaction such as Move, Rotate, Scale, and we added Manipulate and Wire to that list as well.
Related to touch, there's one more thing - iPad, Apple Pencil, and the Maker Pen combine to form a creation power-tool, and we think you're going to love it. The Pencil can run all Maker Pen tools anywhere on screen, and with pressure sensitivity too! This works especially well when creating tubes and also pairs well with surface snap. Pencil 2 supports the double-tap shortcut to switch to the last used tool.
[h2]General Improvements and Bug Fixes[/h2]
As always, thanks for playing Rec Room!

[h2]Self-Scaling Improvements[/h2]
We've made an (long-overdue) update to self-scaling! This should tackle a bunch of Quality-of-Life issues:
- Laser pointers now scale properly as you do.
- Menus and tooltips follow your size.
- Shape and tube previews follow your size - this means you can draw huge tubes if you scale yourself up. (You can turn this off in your palette settings, if it's not what you want.)
- Grid size updates with your scale (can be turned off under settings)
- Off-hand interactions works at any scale

Check it out! We've also fixed two little bugs along the way:
- Fixed a bug where shapes would sometimes fly away when being scaled in world-space. There's no escaping the scaling now!
- Fixed a rare bug where spheres would shrink unexpectedly when being scaled in world-space. Pretty sure this one's been there for years and nobody noticed... Whoops!

[h2]General Improvements and Bug Fixes[/h2]
- We've updated our texture projection logic in order to remove stretching artifacts on shapes with extreme scales. Enjoy a clean look on your scaled creations! Your old creations are unchanged, and the old style can still be used by configuring a shape to not use 'Dynamic Projection.'
- Fixed some flickering when changing pages in the store.
- Fixed an issue where PSVR players would see random, bright colors in the player's peripheral vision (especially noticeable in Rec Royale).

Select the hairstyle you wish to use, then click on the "Color" button.Choose a pattern, there are 4 pattern options.After selecting a pattern, you can change the color of just the pattern, or both the pattern and base hair color.## General Improvements and Bug Fixes- Added a Code of Conduct poster to the Maker Pen under Decor. Use this to remind your players of Rec Room's rules, but don't worry about it costing you ink, as the first instance in every room is free.- Players will no longer be able to initiate a vote kick against opponents during a match in Paintball, Laser Tag or Dodgeball.- No more random event invites interrupting your gameplay. Only those that you have RSVP'ed to will pop up when they start. Those you marked as a maybe will alert you via your watch, but they will not open.- Circuits V2 Chips are now included in the "Show Gadgets to Everyone" setting! You no longer need to give players maker pen permissions to show them your CV2 circuits and wiring. However, while the "Show Gadgets to Everyone" setting is enabled, CV2 chips will now cost the same amount of ink as CV1 chips. Don't worry though, CV2 chips still won't cost ink if you don't have this setting enabled as they were before this update.- We have additionally done some work so that there is only a certain number of CV2 chips fully visible at any point to improve performance. We also turn off the text on chips when you're at an unreadable distance.- Fixed an issue with CV2 sync fields not synchronizing.- Fixed an issue with lighting changes as you moved the UGC palette menu.As always, thanks for playing Rec Room!Please see here for convenient links to controls, tutorials, comfort options, etc.:
