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)
