Job Simulator Update 4/21 - Hats, Twitch, and Perf!

Hello friends! We've got some exciting new things for you in this update!

First, we've added in-game physical Twitch chat!

As part of our efforts to make VR more social, we wanted to add the ability for streamers to be able to react live to their viewers when broadcasting Job Simulator gameplay. When you're inside VR, it can sometimes be hard to get to the information you need, so why not pipe it directly into the experience!

We've also added hats! HATS!

Finally, we've been working hard on performance, with more perf gains to come!

With that, here's the full change log:

New features!
-Twitch chat can be shown in-game! Use the Spectator Mode overlay panel on your PC (the camera icon in the bottom left) to enable Twitch chat view.
-Hats! Hats can now be stolen from bots and worn! Also, hats can be placed on other bot’s heads. Go nuts.

Major fixes!
-Performance optimizations and memory reduction all over the project, which should result in better framerate. More optimizations to come when we successfully upgrade to Unity 5.4 in the upcoming weeks.
-Spectator camera can now be copied in the scanner. Thanks Giant Bomb.
-Corn now pops when it’s hot
-Museum lever is less crappy
-Fixes to Dollhouse mode (spoilers!!)
-Fixed some logic on certain bots to allow them to accept gifts
-Bots were accidentally hitting car horns when exiting vehicles. Bug or feature? You decide.
-Sink water no longer funky
-Exit burrito is harder to accidentally double-eat / confirm your choice
-Hood ornament placement bug fixed
-Subtle fixes only the developers would catch but it makes us feel better to fix them, okay?!
-Ctrl-Shift-H shortcut added to toggle hand visibility for Mixed Reality filming purposes
-JobBot says fun things in the Museum now
-Teabag handling improved
-Added some secrets for you to find...
