Rec Room UPDATE is live - the "Move In" edition!
Thanks for playing Rec Room! If you're enjoying it and want to support us, consider leaving us a review. That will help other players find us, and the more the merrier right? =]

Tonight's update adds:
  • Paintball - new "Team Battle" mode. Less flag capturing, more straight up paint splattering! Choose between the modes from the scoreboard in the start area.
  • Paintball - leaderboards!
  • Paintball - you now spawn with a paintball gun
  • Paintball - paintball guns now "autolock" to your hand when you pick them up
  • Paintball - many other small improvements (and likely new bugs... please keep the feedback and bug reports coming, it really helps)
  • You now get your own Dorm Room. You'll start the game there (next week we plan on getting rid of the weird "terrain with a door in it" world at the start). It's super basic and pretty rough right now (we'll clean it up a bunch for next week's update). So it's filled with moving in boxes! But we'll be building this out as a way to support a bunch of new stuff in the future (e.g., managing private games). Feedback pls! Note: The Dorm Room replaces the Changing Room - RIP.
  • The Zero G wardrobe - as we continue to add more and more avatar items (and yes, we've heard the requests for more female-friendly items!), we realized we needed a way to browse your items that would scale up better. So we created the zero-G wardrobe.
  • Some new avatar items!

Also added a few things that lots of people have asked us for:
  • Push-to-talk - is now an option for those who prefer that style of voice chat. Check Settings in the menu. With push-to-talk enabled, hold the grip buttons to enable outgoing voice chat.
  • Visible chaperone center - There's now an option to always show a marker in the center of your chaperone. Check Settings in the menu. As a reminder, it's worth checking through the Steam VR Chaperone settings too... lots of different render settings you can tweak to make your chaperone more (or less!) visible.
  • Quality options in Settings menu - adjust graphics settings on the fly. If you're getting frame drops, try dropping a quality level. (We're not done optimizing by any stretch, but this might help in the meantime)
  • Teleport beam now bounces off vertical surfaces, make it easier to teleport near objects (e.g., cover in Paintball)
  • Improvements to "rotate world" mechanics (entire chaperone rotates when you hold both teleport buttons)

Oh, two last things:
    1) We are still collecting videos for our new trailer. We've received about 30 submissions so far, which is awesome BUT WE WANT MORE! What can we do to get the juices flowing here? Feedback and ideas welcome =] Submit here: http://blog.againstgrav.com
    2) We set up a new email alias: conduct@againstgrav.com. If you encounter behavior that violates our Code of Conduct, we'd love to hear about it. Appreciate any feedback, large or small, detailed or a quick "this happened". We remain committed to making Rec Room a great place for everyone who wants to play.

Huge thanks to everyone who's playing and sending us feedback. We hope you're enjoying the game as much as we are enjoying making it!
