Rec Room News

* You can now *search* for friends in the watch! Want to send a gift someone, but it's hard to find them by paging through the watch? Well, now you can search. And it's a "fuzzy" search... e.g., searching for "grb" will find "gribbly"
* Added a "Gift" button to player's profile, so you can send 'em something right from their profile page! (This actually went out last week, forgot to mention it!)
* Fixed an issue where bows wouldn't reload properly on non-VR platforms (sorry about that!)
* Fixed an issue where UI could flicker annoyingly on some platforms. For the curious, this turned out to happen when someone in the room was drawing on a whiteboard (or similar drawing surface)!
* Fixed an issue where you could get stuck on a loading screen when re-joining a room automatically after a disconnect.

Aaaaaand we're back for 2020! We had a nice little break over new years, we hope you did too =]

We've got some fun stuff in the first update of the new year/decade:

* Quest players can now play both Laser Tag maps ("Hangar" and "CyberJunk City")
* Quest players can now visit The Park (and all custom rooms build on top that base room)

Creation tool updates:

* You can now use the Maker Pen Manipulate tool on any volume (e.g., Trigger Volumes, Bounce Pads, etc.). This means you can finally adjust them after creation!
* There's a *new Toggle Button* dynamic prop. This is like the existing button, but it has two states (on/off). Use it with Circuits to create interesting behaviors. This button can be toggled by projectiles! Find the new button in the Maker Pen Palette under "Dynamic Props".
* The LookAt Gizmo can look at players (by specifying a role), and you can tell it to look at specific body parts (head, either hand).
* If you have a password set, you can now change it directly in the app. Go to Watch > Profile and hit the button!
* Fixed a bug where watch notification sounds weren't playing correctly.
* Fixed a bug where you couldn't interact with the scoreboard in the watch.
* Added a "head bob" slider to screens platforms. This is to improve comfort for some players. Find it in Watch > Settings.
* Fixed a bug with the golf shirt poking through the shoulders.
* Fixed a bug with laser tag pistol and shotgun not rendering correctly.
* Fixed an issue where normals were rendering incorrectly on your left hand.
* Fixed an issue with audio being set incorrectly for the new "Fancy Bubble" item.

Please note we've updated our privacy policy to conform to California's new CCPA privacy laws, so on some platforms you'll need to re-accept that when you launch after the update.

OK remember we said last update was probably our last for the year? Well we lied! We're sneaking one more in before taking a short break over Xmas/New Years. We'll be back in the new year (decade!) with more craziness!

Here's what's in today's update:

* New "Fancy Bubbly" item - share a fancy bottle of bubbly with up to five friends to ring in the new year! Pop the cork, then toast with the glasses, complete with a satisfying "clink!" sound =]

An Xmas gift for our Oculus Quest players... the following rooms are now available on Quest:

* ^Bowling
* ^TheLounge (and the many Custom Rooms build on top of it)
* ^Propulsion - the second disc golf map, with the world famous "troll fan" on Hole 4 =]

...we hope to release more rooms for Quest players early in the new year. Stay tuned.

And some bug fixes:

* Issue where players could get teleported to center of room
* StuntRunner - air control is back to normal, sorry about that
* Some other minor bug fixes and clean up
