Update - tutorials, scoreboards, notifications, oh my!
Hey all,

We just pushed a new update! Here's what's new this week:

  • Fancy new projector scoreboards - all the activities feature fancy new scoreboards that (we hope) do a better job of letting you know what's happening with the game.
  • Disc Golf improvements - we've done more polish on Disc Golf, and it really benefits from the new scoreboards. There's now scoreboards at each tee, so you can track your score at each hole! In our testing this has made the game a lot more fun.
  • Disc Golf mercy rule - Disc Golf now has a mercy rule... if you get to +7 on any hole you'll be automatically advanced to the next hole.
  • New intro tutorial for first time users - the first time you launch you'll get a tutorial in the Dorm Room that walks you through the basics of teleporting, grabbing stuff, and using the menu. This includes a new layout for the Dorm Room.
  • New notifications - we did some work to ensure that notifications are always visible, not matter what you're doing.
  • As always, lots of tweaks and bug fixes! Look for updated textures, etc. The new discs in Disc Golf are awesome!


Please note that this update rolls out a huge "under the hood" revision of our activity system. Overall it is much cleaner, and it sets us up to add new stuff much more easily moving forward. However, it's possible there's new bugs and weirdness. In our testing it looks pretty clean, but please stress test everything and let us know if anything breaks!

Keep the feedback coming, and thanks for playing Rec Room!
