Rec Room UPDATE for the "Inventions" edition
Buckle in, folks - this one's a big'un! But before we get started, we'd like to take a brief moment to announce the Rec Room Photo Contest 2.0!
  • The Share Camera has come to Screen Mode!
  • To celebrate, we're holding another photo contest - grab your camera and show us what you got!
  • Check out more details here


Alright, here we go! We're super excited to introduce the Inventions feature!

  • You can now save your creations to reuse later in any ^room!
  • Any co-owner of a room can save a selection of objects (gadgets, props, and/or shapes) as an invention
  • That invention gets added to their palette so they can spawn it later anywhere they can use the maker pen


We're just getting started - Undo/Redo is finally here!

  • You can now Undo and Redo most* actions (create, delete, move, etc) you make while holding your Maker Pen!
  • You can store up to 10 undoable actions at a time
  • You can only undo your own actions when building with other players
  • Your undoable actions are not preserved after you leave the room
  • Connections between restored and existing objects are not re-created on undo
  • Are we missing an action you'd like to undo? Let us know!


But wait, there's more! You can also now Merge and Split groups of Maker Pen objects!
  • This is a great way to keep your levels organized, or consolidate groups to get more ink space!
  • To split, select your shape(s) and then hit "Split Shapes" from the context menu [...] that appears next to it!
  • To merge, select your objects and hit "Merge Shapes" from the context menu [...] that appears.


And that's not all for creation updates!

  • The new Manipulate tool allows shapes to be stretched in any axis
  • Use Align mode to align objects and shapes with each other
  • Enjoy a bunch of improvements to Snapping (that can now also be used by your off-hand!)


You thought we were done?! There's STILL MORE!:
  • We hope you enjoy the new LIVE tab for Room Browsing!
  • Screens players rejoice! We're introducing new social controls and emotes - check 'em out and let us know what you think!
  • New streaming tools! Check out the Handheld camera, field of view, green screen, and listening source options
  • We've added Back Holsters to Laser Tag, Golden Trophy, Curse of the Crimson Cauldron, and JumboTron!
  • You can also now enable Holsters in Custom Rooms
  • You can now disable invisible walls in Custom Rooms built from scenes that have them (like Spillway or Cyberjunk City)
  • Find some new shirts (IRL) in our Threadless store
  • Plus some upcoming cozy avatar outfits to keep warm =]


Whew, almost there! We also took care of a bunch of bugs, including:
  • Fixed a bug that was causing microphones to stop working
  • Coach now announces the winning team correctly to all players at the end of sandbox games (based on highest score)
  • Maker Pen settings persist across rooms/sessions
  • Maker Pen Palette menu no longer collides with objects in rooms
  • Shapes should no longer endlessly collide with the objects they're stuck to on room reload
  • Maker Room walls are now gizmo-connectable
  • Fixes to role-based item restrictions:

  1. Blacklisting items should again be working as expected
  2. Objects with moving parts (reloaders on guns, etc) should now be usable when blacklisted/whitelisted

  • Charades button can now be pressed while holding Charades Pen
  • Removed sandbox machine shadows from levels (RIP)
