We just pushed an update, before we get into what's new (spoiler: it's bowling...) wanted to mention that we're celebrating Halloween by featuring your Halloween-themed rooms on our social channels and in the Rec Center! We'll also be featuring your photos and costumes! More info on how to submit your rooms and photos here: https://www.againstgrav.com/halloween2018/

OK, so what's new?

Welcome to Lone Shoe Lanes, Rec Room's brand new Bowling Game!

• Go to room ^Bowling to check it out!
  
• Up to six players can bowl at once, and there's space in the room for a couple more people to hang out and cheer/heckle!
  
• ^Bowling is a #pickup room, meaning that all player types can play together.
  
• Fully automated scoring!
  
• There are practice lanes to use to perfect your action.
  

Have fun, and please let us know what you think!

There's more:

• New automated backup system for room cretors. You now have an emergency Plan B if you forget to save/lose internet connection/involuntarily leave the game somehow =]
  
• Automatically creates a local backup of MOST custom room data for rooms where you are a creator or co-owner (excludes: whiteboard/drawing surfaces, samplers and holotars)
  
• Backup timing can be configured/turned off in the player settings ("Advanced" tab)
  
• If it exists, a backup can be restored through the usual restore room flow. This Room > Details > Restore, look in the popup list for a save that ends with "[Backup]"
  
• Please note: Backups are temporary and will only appear in owned rooms you have recently been in. If you want a backup to become a part of your save history, you should restore it right away.
  

Hmmm what else?

• Added soft pretzels and a controversial new type of pizza to buy and share!
  
• New outfits: Bowling and Halloween-themed
  

Bug fixes and tweaks:

• Various locomotion fixes in Clearcut
  
• Various locomotion fixes in Quest
  
• Fixed some multiplayer inconsistencies with Current Holding player on Object-Player chip.
  
• Fixed bug where creators could turn off the ability to edit their own permissions. Oops.
  
• Custom rooms with "Infinite" timer settings should now run indefinitely as expected.
  
• Changed Audio Sampler to not use gravity (bonus: now a bit cheaper!)
  
• Empty audio samplers and holotars can now be recorded by anyone in the room (not just hosts)
