Rec Room UPDATE - the "Cheers" edition!
Here's what's new:
  • New Cheer System - the best thing about Rec Room is you! We love our players, and we especially love when our players look after each other. Now there's a way to show your appreciation for players who make your day in Rec Room. Give them a "thumbs up" gesture and hold it while the timer completes. Then, tell them what made you happy by tapping a button on your watch - you can give cheers for being helpful, for being a good sport, for being a great host, or for being impressively creative. Or you can just give a general cheers for no specific reason!


  • Here's how to do the thumbs up gesture: First, make a fist by pulling the trigger and pointing your thumb towards the sky - hold that pose for a second and you'll do a "thumbs up".
  • Cheers can be anonymous if you prefer.
  • If you choose to accept a cheers (you'll be notified on your watch), there'll be confetti!


Also, it's...
  • Rec Room Laser Tag Weekend - you're all invited to a sneak preview of a new game mode we're working on. From 5PM (PST) this Friday night until just before midnight on Sunday night. It's early, but we really want your feedback on how we should develop this. We've been having a blast playing it at the Against Gravity headquarters, and we're really excited to share it with you!



But wait, there's more!
  • Maker Pen got an update - there's now an explicit "EDIT" and "PLAY" mode. When you start creating, you're in EDIT mode. When you're done, press the PLAY button on the Maker Pen menu and your creation will get physics, gravity, etc. If you want to go back into EDIT mode, press the Edit button, touch the object you want to edit with the tip of the pen and pull the trigger.


  • Maker Pen - Clone now works on entire objects in PLAY mode.
  • Maker Pen - You can now draw perfectly proportioned spheres and boxes by toggling "constrained" on.
  • Maker Pen - ribbons are now aligned with the angle of the pen tip when you draw (makes them look nicer).
  • Maker Pen - we did a lot of under-the-hood work to improve performance, fix the annoying bugs where you creations would disappear, improve collisions, and set ourselves up for continued improvements (like saving and re-loading creations... it's coming).


And more!
  • PlayStation VR players are starting to show up in the general population. Please make them feel welcome! More humans in more headsets is exactly what Rec Room (and VR) need to grow big and strong!
  • Dorm Room - we replaced the computer with a comfy chair and a seasonal replacement head. You're welcome.
  • Seriously, we moved all the computer functions (e.g., registering your email, updating name, searching for friends, entering a #roomcode) into your watch, so you can use those features anywhere now.
  • Thanks computer, you served us well!
  • This Room button in watch - the "Scoreboard" button is now the "This Room" button. Scoreboard can still be found in there, as well as a new "Actions" tab which hosts the Hazard button (if you're playing Disc Golf) or the Switch Teams button (if you're playing paintball and the teams become unbalanced). The "This Room" button is preparation for adding persistence to Custom Rooms
  • Updated intro tutorial now that the computer is gone.
  • Fixed a nasty bug where hands were animating at a reduced framerate. Ugh.
  • Fixed issue where non-hosts could grab duplicate items from the Sandbox Machine.
  • Last but certainly not least, we're changing the way we handle underage players. Tldr - junior players (age 12 and under) are now permitted in Rec Room, but they can't hear or transmit mic audio, can't access certain functions, and you can set a matchmaking preference to try and avoid them if you prefer. We'll talk about this more in a post on our subreddit: https://recroom.reddit.com
