Happy Holidays! Tonight, we release a new update that includes several fixes and upgrades to our new Wave Builder tool in the home cave, as well as the re-release of Ash Koosha's AKTUAL, now a replayable experience on repeat in The Expanse! We got a lot of feedback from user feedback and we hope the improvements to the Wave Builder smoothen out the experience for y'all!

After the first replay of AKTUAL, our community will be throwing it's regular Monday party, hosted by Ryan! Hop into his party afterwards, we hear he has loads of visuals prepared!

**New Features:**

- New Experience: Ash Koosha's AKTUAL, now on replay in The Expanse

- New Toy: Hot Tub

- Wave Builder panel is now attached to your hand

- Combined the VJ Panel with the Wave Builder

- Added a toggle allowing you to filter Google Poly assets by "TheWaveVR" as a keyword. This isn't the final form of looking up Poly assets, but hopefully it should make it a bit easier to find your TheWaveVR-specific creations, as requested by y'all!

- Windows Mixed Reality experimental compatibility, just in time for the holidays!

- Improved audio quality on the DJ things

- Displaying song artist, title, and album in the home caves for audiences

- Adding confirmation steps to saving and deleting scenes. This was highly requested by users!


**Major Bugfixes:**

- UI Cleanup on the Wave Builder

- Achievements for Wave Deities fixed

- Reduced hitching on initial song processing

- Enforce client updates. **Older clients will not be allowed to authenticate on our server now. You must update your clients to the latest version**

- Hardened security on our servers

- Hardened the Wave Builder's functionality

If you are a WindowsMR user, we would love your feedback at feedback@thewavevr.com on how to improve the experience! **

To celebrate the release of famed LA producer TOKiMONSTA's new record, Lune Rouge, we created the first full-length interactive album in VR. The fifth installment in this year's Wave concert series, The Lune Rouge Experience blows the "live music" paradigm wide open, letting fans explore a planet inspired by the album artwork, dance in an interstellar rave under an exploding sun, and remix a 3D world built out of TOKiMONSTA's music. Art Directed by Strangeloop, this wave is like literally stepping inside the album art and experiencing Toki's music in a new dimension.

Show debuts Sunday, October 8th at 6PM, Pacific Time!

Dear Wave Community,

Thank you so much for being part of the early Wave community. We’ve enjoyed hearing your outpouring of excitement over the future of the platform, and are grateful for your feedback and ideas on how to make this thing the best it can be.

In the past 5 months since we launched our beta, we’ve hosted our first VR concert series with artists like Strangeloop, Ash Koosha, Heavygrinder, and Grimecraft, collected a ton of your feedback and put together a really ambitious plan to take TheWave to the next level. We’re hard at work building the next huge update to the app, and will be hosting one more premium show on Sunday 10/8 at 6pm pacific time, which will conclude our first concert series. We’ll be spending the coming months putting the finishing touches on some game-changing new features, which are going to fundamentally enhance what users can do in TheWave.

While we've been focusing on the next big thing, our community has been throwing fantastic home cave parties in the mean time. Please join our Discord community here for the schedule, and thanks so much for being patient while our small team works around the clock to deliver something great.

Can’t wait to share it with you!

Sincerely, TheWaveVR

Tomorrow night at 7 PM Pacific Time, London-based electronic musician Ash Koosha will perform in the US for the first time via virtual reality. Originally from Iran, Koosha is currently hindered by Trump’s travel ban, which targets people from majority-Muslim countries and bars them from entering the United States. Join us to prove VR has no borders.

Ash's wave brings his audio visual show, AKTUAL, to the US, where users will be transported inside his mind to watch him perform his music and conduct dynamic visual forms using our new performance tools.
