Rec Room PATCH - the "Rec Rally" edition
Circuits V2 Updates
Trigger Handle in Beta!
The Trigger Handle is a new way of getting input in Rec Room! While you're holding the Trigger Handle, pressing the button you'd use to shoot a paintball gun on your platform will output a CV2 signal. Make sure to turn on the beta flag in your room so you can find it in the palette!Inside the Trigger Handle object board gives you access to four events: Primary Action Pressed, Primary Action Released, On Pickup, On Release. Think of all the cool non-violent stuff you can make with it... flashlights, PEZ dispensers, squeaky toys, airhorns...
The config menu supports turning off the sound you hear when you pull the trigger.
CV2 Leaderboard Chips
Additionally, we have added CV2 compatible Leaderboard Get/Set Stat chips!
CV2 Variable Home Values
Have you ever wanted to set a CV2 variable's value via the config menu instead of manually setting it via circuits? The wait has come to an end! You can now set the value in the config menu of the following variable types: Int, String, Float, Bool
Setting the value in the config menu will also be the value that the variable resets to on room reset and when you load in!

Rec Room UPDATE - the "Rec Rally" edition
Okay Racers, start your engines! Today we're excited to introduce Rec Rally! Rec Rally is the six-player off-road rally race where you boost, bump, and powerslide your way to the finish line! For the first time ever in Rec Room, jump into the driver's seat and put the pedal to the metal as you cruise around an all-new environment showcasing the beautiful sights of Rec Room's dusty southwestern countryside. Hop in, buckle up, and welcome to Pioneer Peak! (You can finally stop asking for Go Karts in every AMA!!!)
In addition to a brand new course to race around with your friends, we're also releasing our Rally Buggy into the Maker Pen Palette as a Beta feature. The Rally Buggy works great right out of the box no matter what platform you're playing on, and it comes with all kinds of tunable, Circuits-integrated features for you to experiment with and create your own unique driving experiences! We expect it to be "buggy" so we wanted to play it safe and include the Beta flag because we expect more work will be needed to make it extra awesome.
The Rally buggy holds up to three players at once. Everyone in the Buggy, including the driver, can pick up, throw, and use tools, just like you can everywhere else in Rec Room. So you and your friends can count on using the buggy for so much more than just racing games!
The Rally Buggy is yours to dress up, customize, and overclock to your heart's content. We can't wait to see and experience your creativity in new and exciting ways! If you want to build a race track of your own, checkout and clone the new race track template room.
FYI: VR players will have the ability to switch between two distinct driving modes in the Rally Buggy. Check it out in the gameplay settings and use whatever you're most comfortable with!

Rec Room UPDATE - the "Best Friends Forever" edition
Room Consumables
Creators can now sell consumable items in their rooms using the new consumables button and chips. Consumables can be anything you can imagine, if it can be done with CV2 it can be activated by a consumable. Players are able to purchase consumables repeatedly and then activate them from a new tab in the backpack. Each use of a consumable "consumes" one instance from the player's inventory.
For now, creators will need to enable Creative Tools Beta Content in their rooms in order to use the new circuits. We expect them to be fully out of beta before the end of the year.
Here's how it works:

Event Instances and Details UI
Event pages have a whole new look! You can still do everything with an event that you could do before (RSVP, invite friends, and manage settings) but the detailed look matches more closely to our rooms pages. Creating and browsing events is still the same format as before.

Rec Room PATCH - the "Bento Box" edition
A small batch of feature improvements and bug fixes this week - hope you enjoy!
General Improvements and Bug Fixes
Added 'smile' to the emote wheel and expresso menu. No more frowns in your group photos, unless you're into that kind of thing.
Fixed club settings to redirect to the club details page after saving changes. No longer do you need to scroll back through your 72 unique clubs to find the one you were working on!
Maker Pen Tubes/Ribbons now have 3 analog options: Off, Brushstroke, and Raw. Leave it on Brushstroke for more predictable results in your tubes, or Raw to be as accurate as your trigger!
Saving changes made with the maker pen recolor tool now behaves as expected. (Wow, they fixed it... color me surprised.)
CV2 Gadgets should no longer be missing their tethers to Control Panels. Now your gadgets will look even more spaghetti-like.
Fixed a bug where friend introductions sometimes showed up blank.
