Rec Room News

Just a couple of bug fixes - here's what's new:

• We fixed a footwear malfunction for Quest and PS4 players. They should now be able to reach expected top speeds.
  
• HoloHelper Icons no longer flicker while you walk.
  
• We didn't think poking buttons was dramatic enough for Stunt Runner on screens, so we swapped out the animation with a button slapping animation!
  
• We made sure that new PS4 users only hear the voiceover once the dorm room has loaded.
  
• We fixed an interaction issue with the new Dorm Room Mirror.
  
• We fixed an issue that made it difficult to select room saves when restoring a room.

Just a couple of updates and bug fixes - here's what's new:

The Rec Center now has moderators! They can be identified by the new icon by the player name (crown with 1 line).

Room Bans

Creators and Co-Owners can now ban people from entering their rooms**. Use this power wisely!

• Access and manage the room ban list from This Room screen → Setup tab → Room Ban List.
  
• You can bulk import players to the room ban list from your personal block list, or from an existing room you have ban power in. Importing will only add players, and never remove.
  
• You can ban a player from one of your rooms by opening their profile page and pressing the "Room Ban" button (while you are in that room).
  

Players who are blocked by a Creator will no longer be blocked from that Creator’s rooms. Use the room ban list instead.

• We have done a one time auto import of Creators' personal block list to their room ban lists to maintain the existing behavior.
  

Plus a bunch of polish items and bug fixes, including:

• Added a prompt to tell screens players how to open the menu while carrying a boombox.
  
• Fixed a bug where sometimes accepting a co-owner request would not register
  
• Fixed an issue where other players' names would rotate towards the mirror instead of facing you
  
• Fixed not being able to aim down sights on PC screen mode
  
• Updated Stunt Runner so players are no longer able to bump one another in the lobby
  
• Fixed a hole in the back of the Stunt Runner lobby under the entrance
  
• Adjusted a checkpoint in Stunt Runner Course 4 so you cant trigger it from outside the tower structure
  
• Added sounds in the Stunt Runner levels to their respective volume mixers so they can be lowered

• Fixed a spot you could get stuck on a corner of the Stunt Runner lobby - oops! =]

We are stoked to introduce the brand new Rec Room Original game, Stunt Runner!

Stunt Runner is an obstacle-based, extreme sports game show set in Rec Room! In this high-speed obstacle course where every second counts, four contestants must sprint, climb, wall jump, mantle, and dodge hazards to survive. Pick the perfect route and execute flawlessly to set a record time and become leaderboard champs!

Join the fun by navigating to your Watch -> Play -> Featured -> #RecRoomOriginal -> Stunt Runner!

Locomotion

We're adding a whole bunch of new locomotion features in our latest #RRO game! In no particular order, here are the new features you have to play with:

• Climbing

• Wall Running

• Sliding

If you have thumbsticks, click in the right stick while sprinting to slide
On a keyboard, press ctrl while sprinting to slide
If you’re on PSVR, press the upper, outer face button while sprinting to slide

• Speed-boosting pickups

Run through them to get a temporary speed boost - woo!

• Moving Platforms - that you move with!
  

Now you can jump onto moving platforms and expect to have a smooth experience as they move you through the world

• Bounce Pads

And finally - for room creators, we’re adding climbing, wall running, bumping and sliding to room creation! We’re having a blast with Stunt Runner, but we think we've only scratched the surface of the experiences you can make with these new mechanics.

Wall Running: Enable by opening the watch and going to "This Room" -> "Setup" -> "Roles". Then set the "Can Wall Run" permission in the "Screens" and "Walk VR" role settings. Wall Running will then be available for any vertical surface to players with that room role.

Climbing: Enable by hitting the Configure tool on your Maker Pen, then selecting the object you wish to make climbable. You'll want to check the "Is Climbable" setting, which makes the object a climbable surface for all players. Note that an object cannot be Grabbable and Climbable at the same time.

Bumping: Enable by opening the watch and going to "This Room" -> "Setup" -> "Roles". There are two separate permissions you can set in "Screens" and "Walk VR" role settings:

• Can Ram allows you to use your velocity to send other pushable players flying!
  
• Can Be Pushed allows you to be pushed by other players. Enabling this will allow you to be launched by rammers, but also nudged when you and another player are in the same space.
  

Sliding: This is enabled by default for any downhill surface. If you are sprinting, use the slide input to gain an extra burst of speed. Further configuration options for this feature coming soon!
These are only the first of many Stunt Runner related tools being made available to creators, so keep an eye on our coming releases!

Phew, what exciting stuff... but wait, there's more!

We made some changes to our Moderation Structure:

• You can now access and manage your block list from your profile screen
  
• New icons by the player name to differentiate between Creator (crown with 3 lines), Co-Owner (crown with 2 lines), and Host (crown)!
  
• Poorly behaved players with too many reports will be temporarily blocked from the Rec Center. You can regain access by being excellent to other players elsewhere in the game!
  

Comfort Mode:

A few weeks back we shipped Comfort Mode to provide an option for motion-sensitive players to participate in walk-only rooms. There is still a ton of room for improvement here, so if you’re a motion-sensitive player, consider sending us suggestions for what might make it better for you. You can turn on Comfort Mode by navigating to your Watch > Settings > Gameplay > Comfort Options. We really appreciate your feedback!
