This is a super exciting update for us - check out what's new:

You can now publish your Inventions to share with other players!

• There's a new Inventions tab in the store, where you can find Inventions published by other players and download them to your Maker Pen palette!
  
• When you publish an Invention, you can choose what permissions it has (giving you control over how other players can use it). The permissions are:
  
• Publish (the default): Other players can make major changes to this Invention, then publish the result as a new Invention. Choose this permission if you’re cool with variations of your Invention being published in the store.
  
• Use Only: Other players can’t make major changes to this Invention. They also can’t create a new Invention that contains any part of it. Choose this permission if you want don’t want people copying/modifying your Invention.
  
• Edit and Save: Other players can make major changes to this Invention, but they can’t create a new Invention that contains any part of it. Use this permission if you don’t mind people adapting your Invention for your needs, but you don’t want them to republish the changes.
  
• You can also set permissions on an Invention without publishing it first - find this in the Invention's Setup menu!

Screen mode creation has had a major revision to make it easier and more fun to create with! We'd love to hear feedback on it!

• You now use the Maker Pen in first person and have access to the majority of the building tools and options (there are some missing pieces yet, we'll clean them up soon...)
  
• Follow the onscreen prompts for the various buttons and options!
  
• Like in VR mode, if you fly while holding the maker pen you can clip through objects. This makes building much easier!

Plus a few other fun creation updates:

• We're excited to share the new self-scaling tool! This is experimental and only in VR so far, but we're excited to hear what you think! You can toggle this mode on in the Maker Pen Palette > Settings menu, and use the grip triggers on Oculus/Vive, and upper outer buttons on PSVR (left hand square, right hand triangle)!
  
• The Maker Pen tubes got some major updates! Set the number of sides, the roundness and the width of your drawings. Keep connecting to the end of tubes for precise creations and use the manipulate tool to move control points around for that final tweak.

But wait, there's more! Screen mode players can now fly!

• Access to flying is configured exactly the same as for VR players (i.e., it's a Room permission).
  
• To start or stop flying, double tap the jump button.
  
• If you want to try it out, here's the incredibly intuitive and easy process to enable flying in your Dorm Room: Open your Watch, tap This Room > Setup > Roles, then tap the gear icon for "Dorm Room". In the Shared settings, tap Override on the "Can Fly" option, then move the slider to "Yes". You may want to save the room after doing this so you don't have to do it again! Could this flow be made simpler? Nope. This is fine.
  *We now have to keep updating this flow, it's totally fine

And that's not all!

• All quests are now in first person mode for screens players!
  
• The Report Player screen got an ease of use update - there are now dropdowns with canned report categories!
  
• The Code of Conduct got a spruce =]
  
• Melee weapons in Isle of the Lost Skulls now automatically lock to your hands

Plus a bunch of bug fixes, including:

• A bunch of PS4 crash mitigations! Let us know if you continue to experience performance problems on PS4.
  
• Fixed issue that would cause all room saves in a room session to spin indefinitely
  
• Added back snapping and shape preview for trigger volumes
  
• Fixed some bugs with the layout of dorm dresser items

Before we dive into the first update of 2019, let's take a moment to appreciate what a fantastic 2018 Rec Room had! Check out our 2018 in Review post for details. It truly was an amazing year, and each and every one of you played a part in that - so thank you! We can't wait to see what 2019 has in store for Rec Room =]

Without further ado, let's dive into the update!

You can now customize and save your Dorm Room!

• You can save the state of your Dorm Room by going to This Room > Save
  
• This saves the location of all objects in the room (including maker pen objects)
  
• Next time you go to your Dorm Room, the saved state will be restored
  
• Use the button in the upper right hand corner of the login profile select screen to toggle "Safe Mode", to load the default dorm room without any of your saved customizations - useful if you accidentally save in a bad state and get stuck!
  
• Note that Junior players cannot save their Dorm Rooms

And that's not all! You can now invite other players to your Dorm Room!

• You can invite up to 3 other players to join you in your Dorm Room!
  
• Players can request to join you in your Dorm (the Go To button will send an invite request)
  
• Juniors, unregistered players, and players under moderation cannot be invited to a Dorm Room
  
• You can instant kick everyone from your Dorm Room at any time via the “Evict All” button on the home screen of your Watch

Another big update - screens mode is now a first person play experience!

• This is a work in progress, so feedback is welcome!
  
• First person mode also means you can now manipulate objects (so you can play all your favorite escape rooms!)
  
• Just pick an object up and carry it around - you can use controls to rotate/manipulate/etc
  
• Note some objects specifically require you to press “Manipulate” first to do so (such as basketballs, drinking bottles, etc)

Next up, we’re excited to announce that rooms can now optionally allow Junior players to visit!

• Junior access if OFF by default; creators can opt in by changing the setting (find it in This Room > General Setup)
  
• This means that Juniors can now see and browse #community rooms in the watch
  
• Please note that Juniors still cannot create, share or publish rooms, use the Maker Pen, or visit ^charades

There’s more... we heard you loud and clear (so, so loud =P) - we’d like to introduce the Auto Mic Muting feature!

• Microphone spam above a certain level triggers a warning, causing other players to hear you at a reduced volume
  
• If mic spam continues after the warning, you are force muted (other players can't hear you)
  
• If the spam volume is reduced, the force mute will end
  
• Note you can disable this feature in user created rooms, for all your sweet sweet DJ needs (find the setting in This Room > Setup > General Setup > Disable Auto Mic Muting)

This update also includes some (minor) updates to the Rec Center!

• We added an information kiosk in the middle of the Rec Center, to better break up the larger space
  
• We also added full Ping-Pong Tables, and another Basketball Hoop!
  
• We also moved around the Merch Booth, Puzzles & Art, the Mirror, the Community Board and Dart Board
  We hope you enjoy these changes to our Rec Center!

Plus we've updated Grenade behavior in some activities - note we're reworking how Grenades work overall, so this is a work in progress and does not necessarily reflect what final functionality will be! Feedback welcome =]

• In Laser Tag, Rec Royale and JumboTron Grenades do not have friendly fire (but can hit yourself)
  
• In Paintball, Grenades act as they always have

But wait, there’s still more!

• There is now a "Can Save Invention" permission, so room owners can allow Maker Pen use in their rooms (but prevent people from making inventions)
  
• We added paging for outfit items in your dorm
  
• You can now merge shapes into costumes! To do so, select a costume and some shapes and click Merge! The palette will let you select which piece of the costume it should get merged into
  
• Cheer & 'Go to Room' buttons added to Rec Center projector room

Plus a bunch of bug fixes, including:

• Made a few tweaks that should hopefully help with performance and PS4 crashing - note we will be making some larger changes to address these issues in the next update!
  
• Daily challenge reward fixes
  
• Fixed a bug causing all the Cyber Junk City videos to display as black screens
  
• Grenade bug fixes across activities
  
• Fixed a bug that allowed players who were out in Dodgeball to walk onto the court
  
• Fixed Paintball sniper scopes not displaying correctly in Spillway

• Connections between restored and existing objects are not re-created on undo
  
• Are we missing an action you'd like to undo? Let us know!

But wait, there's more! You can also now Merge and Split groups of Maker Pen objects!

• This is a great way to keep your levels organized, or consolidate groups to get more ink space!
  
• To split, select your shape(s) and then hit "Split Shapes" from the context menu [...] that appears next to it!
  
• To merge, select your objects and hit "Merge Shapes" from the context menu [...] that appears.

And that's not all for creation updates!
