TLDR
- Tomorrow we're launching Mobile Makerpen!

Rooms 2
- Several props are now available in Rooms 2: Bell, Marker (Eraser), Bottle (Water), Disc, Coffee Mug, Coffee Pot, Bucket, Speaker, Concert Speaker, Dodgeball, Chair (Basic), and Table (Basic).
- You can now search for inventions in Rooms 2!
- Fixed issues that could lead to desynced object positions.
- Fixed an issue where a compound object could have different authorities for different parts of its hierarchy.
Avatars
- New eye, eyebrow, and mouth sprites have been added!
- Full body players, you can now play Paintball, Laser Tag, etc. with no competitive disadvantage compared to bean players. We have turned off collisions on your arms, legs, and feet.
- Arms and wrists would sometimes get twisted up as you viewed your avatar. No more of that!
Mobile MakerPen
- Later this week, we're launching a new beta version of the Maker Pen on mobile devices, designed to make creation more approachable, delightful, and streamlined! We're aiming to allow you to focus your attention on the creative process and less on the mechanics of tool selection and menu navigation. This is just the first release - we're still working on simplifying more of the Maker Pen features, but we wanted to prioritize what is used most like the movement and palette tools for this first version. You can also toggle back to the classic Maker Pen at any time. Make sure to let us know what you think on the creator forum!
Circuits
- Added a new "Projectile Hit Player (new)" event in beta to both ranged weapon boards and the player board. This event is better than the old version at reliably detecting player hits in multiplayer contexts. With this version, you should no longer need to network between players for reliable hit detection. This will fire for all players if either the player getting hit or the player firing the gun detects that a projectile hits somebody.
- Added a new "Global Projectile Hit Player" event in beta that uses the same system as the above new event.
- The 'Rec Room Object Set Authority' chip will no longer error if the Target object is held but the input Authority is the same as the current Authority, resulting in no change.
General Improvements & Bug Fixes
- We've improved visibility of your rooms by highlighting their Beta or Updated status in the Watch Menu.
- Added indicators and warnings for beta content in inventions.
- Tweaked some of the depth control settings for Place.
- Opening and closing your watch won't cause it to reset back to the Widget Watch home.
- Oculus Quest will now display a splash screen while loading the title screen. Players will now spend less time staring into the void.
- Fixed an issue with the bowling ball consistently making the rolling sound.
- Fixed trail effect on several explosive weapons to only be active when thrown.
- Removed tiled background from store items to make the thumbnails pop out more.
Experiments
- Split test: Screen players can Give a held object and let another player Take it, without throwing it on the ground. It gets the job done! Look for it in the gesture radial menu.
