^Orientation

For users who are just coming to Rec Room for the first time, we've added a quick and delightful introductory tour of the Rec Room Campus. This is our chance to showcase the things we all love most about Rec Room -- our community values, our exciting games, and the enormous and growing library of user-created content to explore!

• All new users go through Orientation as their first in-game experience.

• If you're an existing user who just wants to check out Orientation, it's just another room you can visit any time you'd like. You can find it by searching for ^Orientation in your Play Menu.

Dodgeball Improvements

We've improved the dodgeball throwing experience for screen players. They will now stand a better chance playing against VR players (but not too OP!)

• You can now aim your throw more accurately on screens with the help of a visible reticle.

• The dodgeball trajectory is now more predictable and powerful on screen with fine-tuned animations and launching speed.

• Charging your throw will now have no impact on the dodgeball's launch speed. It merely allows you to hold it.

Dear Creators, Introducing... Green Screen

A bright green backdrop to help with video production!

• Find it in the Palette under the Creative tab

• It can be scaled non-uniformly, and has configurable physics modes

• We can't wait to see your videos!

• We've also added an "Include Pitch" option, which will allow the text to pitch (tilt up and down) when set to "Always Face Viewer"

• The Select Tool's Quick Action Menu now pitches up and down to face the player
