Unicorns!
We have a bug right now where only the first word of our build notes is showing up in the Oculus store. So I thought the first word should be something interesting!
Here's what's new this update:
- New 3D Charades Game Mode: Team Lightning - this is a new, team-based way to play 3D Charades. Red vs. Blue (minumum two players on each team). Two minute rounds. Each team gets two rounds per game. Most points wins!
- Lots of new 3D Charades clues! Also, we migrated the word list to our server, so it's now easier to add new words in the future!
- Team Lighting mode is now the default mode. You can switch to "Classic" mode via the scoreboard...
- Speaking of scoreboards... you can now see the Scoreboard on your Watch Menu - what!? Yes! I personally love this feature. Hit the button on the right to see the scoreboard for any game on your watch!
BTW, we know the watch menu is getting crazy crowded. We're working on plans to improve and simplify soon.
- New Shot Marker in the Locker Room. The basketball hoop now tracks your most recent and your longest baskets with a marker on the ground. Not persistent yet, but if you like this kind of thing let us know as there's lots of ways we could potentially expand on this.
- There's now a tutorial video in the Dorm Room - this is an experiment to see people will watch videos in the Dorm Room as a way to spread knowledge of features in Rec Room. So this is an admittedly simple/rushed implementation. If people like it, we'll make it better. If not, we'll try something else!
- Games no longer auto-start (e.g., Paintball, Disc Golf). This was an experiment that we decided didn't work out. We like auto-advancing to see the new maps, but we didn't like how auto-start interrupts social time between matches. The game now waits for input from someone before the countdown starts.
- The Profile Computer in the Dorm Room is now on all the time if you're not a member. The goal here is to educate people that membership is an option (as we still get asked quite often "how do I advance past level 3?" =]).
- Quest: Fixed bug where SFX didn't play when players are KOed.
- Quest: Fixed an issue where you wouldn't get gold for one-shotting an enemy.
- Paintball: Fixed a bug where you could get people out with grenades before they spawned.
- Disc Golf: New particle effects for when you hit the pin and the powerups!
- Disc Golf: Fixed an issue where powerups wouldn't reset after a private match.
- 3d Charades: Fixed a bug where the performer could spawn without the 3D Pen.
