Rec Room's UI Desperately Needs A Rework

[worn dove]

Maybe just gotta be more causal

[solemn valve]

oh

[raven geyser]

theyre ol dimages

[digital cipher]

Yeah

[worn dove]

Banan 🍌

[digital cipher]

It’s 5:15am

[mortal bramble]

that doesn't sound right

[solemn valve]

this might sound random but do y'all do internships?

(paid or unpaid idc)

[digital cipher]

That’s a good what 3 hours

[mortal bramble]

I think we've done co-ops in the past for engineers, but I'm not sure about outside that

[digital cipher]

What doesn’t

[mortal bramble]

the time, it's only 9:17 pm here 😄

[digital cipher]

Time zone moment

[solemn valve]

thank you!

[digital cipher]

Anyways bye bye guys

[solemn valve]

see ya

[raven geyser]

heres all of them lined up like ur in a mall and theyre all shops or somethingh idrk i just lined them up lol

[raven geyser]

bye bye

[solemn valve]

I have been wanting to work a rec room for a while now! But I sorta REALY suck at unity

[mortal bramble]

and you're looking at engineering?

[worn dove]

I hope it relieves the RR team to hear that I genuinely think they’re putting a lot of effort in to pull themselves out of the #SaveRecRoom AMA34 days and I’m really happy about it. No matter what rec room does i will always be there this game is so special to me 🧡 (Quothy is very much strengthening my belief)

[solemn valve]

no like game development

[solemn valve]

2nd this

[raven geyser]

all i do is rec room

[mortal bramble]

there's a lot of areas of game dev though. UI/UX design, level/gameplay design, engineering, etc

[mortal bramble]

I should post my numbers tomorrow from my work PC. It counts my dev time hehe

[solemn valve]

true I should have been more specific

[worn dove]

I def have 1000+ hours but I play on many different platforms. Wish rec room had global hour counting

[raven geyser]

do yall have to host ur own server to test stuffs,,

[dusty sluice]

all i do is steamvr

[raven geyser]

same

[raven geyser]

they could totally log it too

in playersettings

[solemn valve]

rookie numbers bc 60% of my time was on oculus

[lime panther]

this is my alt steam account

[worn dove]

REAL, it’s all from decorating steamvr home😭

[mortal bramble]

not individually, we have a test environment that everyone shares

[dusty sluice]

sadly not for me

[worn dove]

For me

[karmic prairie]

I wonder if there will ever be another progression event. The ui was only really ever used for invasion

[worn dove]

I want invasion again. I was so stupid for never doing weekly’s or invasion

[raven geyser]

test,,,environment

i always thought test was just for like testing updates and not like

making them

[solemn valve]

do you like randomly run into Gribbly or somthin?

[raven geyser]

thats what i thought enviroment dev or envinroment localhost was for

[mortal bramble]

if I'm in office, yeah sometimes

[raven geyser]

GRAHHHHH

[solemn valve]

name server

[solemn valve]

I ment in rec room

mb

[raven geyser]

im hitting myself over the head with a wooden mallot

ma

idk how to spell it

im coo coo crazy

[mortal bramble]

nah, we're all on different versions and stuff

[solemn valve]

oh yeah bc you all sorta make your own version or rec room

[lime panther]

(i found all these images looking through test squad images)

[raven geyser]

yuhuh

: )

[mortal bramble]

yup, every commit is technically different. We have some tools to override things and make it easier at least

[karmic prairie]

Does each team write their own API's or does the recnet team create them?

[solemn valve]

you could make golden apples and no one would know until the projects merge

now that's a thinker

[mortal bramble]

definitely one team, though other people contribute some times when needed. Every team doing their own would be terrible

@mortal bramble what is the point/polly count in the cv2 circuit board?

I have always wondered bc why is it so LAGGY?!

[mortal bramble]

I have never looked. There's a lot of work being done there by some really brilliant people, so I'm sure it's gonna get better

Hey quothy can i add you, i'd like to slide you a dm about somthing

[raven geyser]

hi krocost

[karmic prairie]

Strange way to put it

[mortal bramble]

I got too many rando DMs about people getting banned for 'no reason', which is why they're turned off

[ruby umbra]

aigh well im not banned

[karmic prairie]

I think every dev has that problem in this discord

[raven geyser]

i used to dm star about it,,,

[ruby umbra]

of course

[dusty sluice]

bro's an alt account(possibly you are on web browser and joined like a month ago) 💀

[raven geyser]

maybe that was because recbot wouldnt message me

[solemn valve]

I hope so

[ruby umbra]

@mortal bramble but i am trying to invite you to a large community project, and perhaps you could share a bit of the development behind the UI and such, ive got a few of your colleagues in the project

[mortal bramble]

we're gonna be sharing information with the whole community soon 🙂

[ruby umbra]

RecRoomArchive thing

[worn dove]

Respect for the Rec room archive by the way

[solemn valve]

like the museum?

[ruby umbra]

yeah, ^RecRoomArchive largest community project that will be re-released soon

you can expect to spend 20 hours just looking

[worn dove]

Yooooo! Was hoping it’d be updated

[solemn valve]

Do you think I could join? I have always wanted to nerd out on rec room info!

[solemn valve]

I hope a UI tut bc I am still makeing ui with objects

[mortal bramble]

I meant specifically info about WW

[solemn valve]

OH

shoot mb

[raven geyser]

[solemn valve]

Sorry for all the questions but do you think we will ever get more of the songs on the (cv2)song chip?

[raven geyser]

thats a thing??

[solemn valve]

yes!

[mortal bramble]

uhhh I'm not sure tbh

[solemn valve]

too bad I hate playing the whole song thru voice mod

I would use RRS but im lazy and it killes my laptop

[karmic prairie]

more of a cv2 dev question probably

[solemn valve]

if I am also in vr

[solemn valve]

yeah but I only know GotSeb and now Quothy

[solemn valve]

this is the chip I was refering to

sorry for the bad angle I don't ever play rec room on my pc

[solemn valve]

^

[mortal bramble]

your circuits are so much neater than mine when I try to make things

[solemn valve]

thank you

[mortal bramble]

mine like look some kind of eldritch horror

[solemn valve]

this is after hours of clean up though

[solemn valve]

look at this small project about destroying amazing landscapes for money! it's ugly fish

[mortal bramble]

tbh I think that being an established engineer works against me in this case

[solemn valve]

I clean up when I can

[solemn valve]

nah

[mortal bramble]

I can work so fast when I code, it's hard to have patience for visual scripting

otoh it's a really neat representation of things because I tend to think about code architecture spatially in my head

[karmic prairie]

I hope for a cv2 programing interface one day

[solemn valve]

OMG SAME and then I spend the same if not more time de bugging then if I did it slowly the first dang time

[mortal bramble]

I wish I could say it gets better with experience, but the real answer is that it sorta gets better but also sometimes you completely missed that you flipped a conditional and spend way too long debugging it

[solemn valve]

tbh I think it might be best for me to not work on ui in rec room bc I always make it for vr and compleately forget about screen mode

[mortal bramble]

while I admit to personal bias here, it's my belief that UI is one of the hardest areas to work in on the development side

[solemn valve]

oh 100%

[ruby umbra]

Send me a dm and we can chat

[solemn valve]

I might be at a bias too

[mortal bramble]

you have to balance performance/input/player experience/development workflow/knowledge of the wider codebase and a whole bunch of other things

it's really, really challenging

and never boring haha

[solemn valve]

tbh I just usually gave up and made all my ui for vr and if it works on screan mode hurray ig

[mortal bramble]

making UI for both is really challenging

it can be done, but it takes some clever tricks

[solemn valve]

a lot of them =(

[mortal bramble]

alright, I'm off for the night. It was great chatting with you all!

[solemn valve]

thanks for answering all my questions! have a good night!

[solemn valve]

[subtle pine]

Research lab is the best imo

Quothy here is the questions for you:

1. Have you played rec room. Before getting hired, if no. Do you like playing it awhile after getting hired?

2. This is kinda a watch related but also graphical related. Will there be a option for more graphical settings? Because 1 graphic setting that just changes the games shaders to be crunchy or pixelated isn't really helping with optimizing

[signal nest]

Day 415 of waiting for the UI to be improved/reworked more until RR implements/releases the changes #1192216802181255298 message

Here's a TL;DR of what I want added/fixed:

• Dark mode
• Bigger buttons
• Bigger/bolder text (possibly a different font)
• Less scroll bars/dropdown menus
• Less clutter
• Optimize the UI more
• More personality/charm
• More QoL features(?)
• Actually finish the UI instead of leaving it in a frankenstien between the old and new designs

(I forgot I had the daily message saved in my clipboard so I didn't have to scroll 3-5 business days to get to the last one I sent)

[digital cipher]

Execution integer switch please

[thorny marten]

Omg I'm so happy there could be ui improvements soon

I have been asking for improvement on the new ui for so long lol

[outer canyon]

bruh

[raven geyser]

hello rec room

[mortal bramble]

1. I actually didn't play before getting hired, but I'm also the type of person who who choose to build games over playing them. I've played a bit here and there since I joined and I like it! I don't play very much though since it helps me to take a break from Rec Room after working on it all day.
2. This would be up to our rendering team. They do a ton of great work and have been a huge help with figuring out some rendering optimizations for the UI, so I trust their judgement on this one

[subtle pine]

please let rendering team know about this idea i would love it 🙏

[outer canyon]

Rendering team, server team, ui team, how many teams are there??

[mortal bramble]

many! but they're generally small (4-6 people)

[outer canyon]

Have you tried cv2 yet or the makerpen?

[raven geyser]

hi quothy do you know if Terrance tolman still does anything for rec room (t-money)

[fast arch]

haha I got quoted by sk0l recently to which I then anxiously reviewed my message to make sure I said everything right several times

[mortal bramble]

I feel like this might be in my future haha

[outer canyon]

Did you-

[fast arch]

Discord just
lost the reply for some reason and I don’t feel like finding the messages again

[mortal bramble]

pretty sure he's still around, I had a nice chat with him a few months back

[raven geyser]

oh cool

[mortal bramble]

yeah, I'm actually spending some time this morning building in rooms2 to get a feel for how it works. There's a lot of efforts around us feel the good & bad of the current experience firsthand so we can make better decisions about what we work on

[outer canyon]

What have you made currently in rooms 2 :>

[raven geyser]

dont know who to ask but do you know if we'll ever get more props in the maker pen over circuits and logic stuff

i need me some laser ham in the maker pen

[mortal bramble]

not much, I keep getting distracted by Slack 😂

[outer canyon]

Lol

[outer canyon]

Do you understand cv2 well?

[mortal bramble]

I consider myself a beginner with all our creation tools tbh. I've kinda purposefully kept that perspective so that I can look at the UI/UX with fresher & less experienced eyes

[outer canyon]

If you ever need a challenge try to make a "game of tag" system

[fast arch]

thanks for the flashbacks
this was quite literally the first thing I ever made with non-legacy circuits back when they were first launched and had no features

[subtle pine]

you should check out the game more once you get a weekend break. i feel like it can help you report the issues to the staff team way easier and also probably have fun.

[mortal bramble]

fresh WW feedback from some open testing we're doing this morning: "Widget Watch is SO FAST I thought something was broken the first time I opened it"

[subtle pine]

it would be funny if you guys launched it with a broken mess

[solemn valve]

there is a reason I did it like that

lazy

also there will be only one person in that server at a time

[digital cipher]

using one is faster and saves on circuits

also usevalue switches

[digital cipher]

under 2 minutes on vr

[solemn valve]

tbh it's old code from an earlyer game

[digital cipher]

That’s understandable

[solemn valve]

I just was Frankensteing

[karmic prairie]

Looks like I've still got it

[digital cipher]

Quothy do you think you could ask internally why they removed a bunch of items as default items when starting rec room? (Stuff like the blazer and more baseball hats)

[mortal bramble]

No one should have that flag set to true anymore 😭

I'm asking someone else who might've run into this before

[thorny marten]

u get to keep it forever

so uhh quothy, is it going to happen in march? or the release date of the new UI splittest not decided yet

[mortal bramble]

I'm pretty confident it'll be in March, but I'm less confident about when in March. We need to make sure that players can't get into stuck states where the game becomes unplayable because you can't open any UI. We have had to fix a lot of these along the way

[lime panther]

completely off topic but i made this a while ago in blender. does it look good?

I like the new widget watch UI that is going to be added but I still think they should add a toggle setting in experience so that you can either toggle between the new UI or the old UI

[thorny marten]

People have asked for that often but they're almost definitely not going to do that at this point

They have multiple times lol

[haughty wave]

I feel like adding a toggle between the ui’s would come with HUGE bugs and they’re need to redo their entire system

So I don’t think that’s happening personally

Most I want is dark mode where I can swap out the different sections

Like featured store in my home page with events next and then hot rooms

[torpid ocean]

How will the ww work on VR? It seems great for screen but I dunno how it'll work on VR (or if they're even gonna have it on VR)

[signal nest]

It'd be cool if the buttons physically popped out of the interface like the old 3D watch did

Yeah

I just want holograms back

and 3D buttons

hi quothy is anything like this possible with the new Widget Watch UI Coming soon? or is it already done?

[digital cipher]

Nice

[digital cipher]

Like what

[subtle pine]

basically someone made a concept art apparently back in 2020 where the level 50 players has a gold thing around it to of course tell that they are level 50

[digital cipher]

I don’t see the point in that

That feels like a feature for favourite friends

[thorny marten]

it is favorite friends lol

[digital cipher]

I’m being told lies

[subtle pine]

@signal nest you did it

https://forum.rec.net/t/introducing-the-widget-watch/6225

[idle plinth]

BRO YOU MADE IT

"We’re making some extra tweaks so the Widget Watch feels like it’s got that 3D magic" 3D FEATURES AGAIN?!

[sacred beacon]

good shit

[idle plinth]

I don't know how I feel about the bland look though. It's making something already pretty bland even blander

some colour would be nice

other than that I love the new animations and such

[subtle pine]

its like a combination of 3D and 2D for screen.

[idle plinth]

I hope it's 3D for VR

[subtle pine]

VR Players will be getting different watch

[idle plinth]

"VR players - we want to get this in your hands too, but we’re not quite ready for that test yet. We’re making some extra tweaks so the Widget Watch feels like it’s got that 3D magic. ✨"

Seems the same but fit for VR

That's my guess

[spring swallow]

as long as theres 3d and cool colors im sold

[idle plinth]

I just want some more colour on it, like the flag being pink or somethung

[idle plinth]

it's rather brown. makes the game kinda look like an office sim

[spring swallow]

if they make it so that people can change how the watch looks, either custom or presets im so down for the new watch

[idle plinth]

oh yeah

id be colouring it all day

[signal nest]

THERE I AM GARY THERE I AM

Sorry lol

So glad this is actually happening

[idle plinth]

Thoughts on the colours?

[signal nest]

You mean like a feature to where we can change the colors of it or the color pallete it has right now?

[idle plinth]

the colour palette it has right now

[subtle pine]

he meant the WW design

[signal nest]

I think it fits Rec Room's college vibe a lot better with how retro-looking the color pallete is. I also like how the orange is simply an accent color for the icons rather than overtaking the entire interface

Overall it's super pleasing to look at

[subtle pine]

tbh i prefer the design of the watch we have.

[idle plinth]

i think it looks better than the overbearing orange but I dislike the bare icons

[outer canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/the-hub-gif-21010881

[signal nest]

I totally agree on the orange

[idle plinth]

either make the button one colour and the icon be bland or make the button bland and the icon coloured

otherwise it loses the whole point of fun in RR

which 'fun' is literally in their slogan

[crimson island]

Probably party colour

[idle plinth]

that would be really cool

[terse sand]

THEY CALLED YOU OUT LMFAO

[subtle pine]

chat now think of how the christmas themed WW will look like

🤔

[idle plinth]

red and green would look nice but knowing RR its gonna be a cool blue

[signal nest]

Ngl I'd prefer it as it is now for the sake of consistency

But yea itd be cool if we had the option to change the color pallete of the whole interface depending on the color of the party we're in

[idle plinth]

that's very true but I think it lacks the colour the original original watch had

[stoic wedge]

I like the look of the new ui

[idle plinth]

might just be me being way too nostalgic

[subtle pine]

i prefer the current one's design than WW's planned design tbh 😭

[idle plinth]

I prefer it over the modern one

[subtle pine]

no offense to the graphic artists but since i saw it for the first time i instantly didnt like it

[idle plinth]

I think modern is too cluttered. i like the clearing up

[subtle pine]

is it tho?

[stoic wedge]

The ui makes me think of some sort of retro device for some reason

[idle plinth]

RR takes place in the 80s so I like it that way

[signal nest]

It probably just needs getting used to for some people?

Looking at the UI we have now after seeing WW, the bright orange and eye-piercing white taking up the entire interface looks hideous imo

[outer canyon]

"We want better watch!"
Rec Room creates a better watch
"....We want better watch!"

[signal nest]

Tbf you can't get everyone to agree on a single topic

[finite violet]

bro made it

rec room is saved

[crimson island]

Tf

[stoic wedge]

yeah exactly

[idle plinth]

im happy with it, just some tweaking will go a long way

[subtle pine]

tbh since its 80s themed i kinda expected to be 8-bit style menu.

[crimson island]

My question is if this is a new watch home menu, or another menu. I feel the post made both seem possible

[subtle pine]

to pay the homage to like NES

[stoic wedge]

it feels like that but without the pixels

I think?

[signal nest]

I wasnt expecting them to just directly say my name like that lmaoo

[stoic wedge]

you're popular!

[subtle pine]

it sure paid off for uhhhhhhhh 421 days of copy pasting the same stuff

[finite violet]

congrats dude

[subtle pine]

oooh i wonder how the dark mode will look on this

[signal nest]

Thanks :)

[stoic wedge]

the question is will there be one?

[subtle pine]

quothy said yes.

[signal nest]

They confirmed it, but it'll take a while

[stoic wedge]

hopefully doesnt take years

[signal nest]

Yea

[subtle pine]

all hail quothy

[stoic wedge]

you can also find it in #announcements

🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥

here's hoping they'll keep this up for the rest of the interface and eventually add a dark mode

idk if i should keep this thread going after WW actually releases next week though lol

[subtle pine]

Maybe start from day 1 again but waiting for WW to come out fully

[signal nest]

ooh maybe

[subtle pine]

It would've been cooler if they released the post on 420💔

Overexxagaration? Yes.

[signal nest]

only on reddit

[signal nest]

||and twitter||

||maybe tiktok as well||

[worn dove]

They seriously dropped ONE song from Kendrick Lamar. THey're like a year late and no one like that song anymore

[signal nest]

lmao

[subtle pine]

Yeah rec room reddit is more toxic than the discord rec room💔

[stoic wedge]

we complain because we like the game, reddit complains because it's reddit

[worn dove]

I'm not sure what to think of widget watch though. I'm so split between liking and disliking

[subtle pine]

Tbh I kinda wish there was like 8 bit style for the UI.

Since it's taken in the 80s

[worn dove]

Here's some peoples thoughts including mine

[signal nest]

tbf i think it fits really well in an 80s college campus setting

i don't really see 8-bit fitting RR as well

[subtle pine]

When I get on my pc tommorrow I'll go and make a mockup of it

[signal nest]

alright

[signal nest]

honestly i agree on how it'll only make the UI more inconsistent. thats why im really hoping they'll expand this to the rest of the UI

[worn dove]

https://tenor.com/view/cats-gif-26460331

OMG who designed the RR creater thread

Nevermind, I think a dev deleted all those edits

[mortal bramble]

hi all! I was in meetings till now so I can poke around and see what you all think 🙂

totally agreed on the inconsistencies being a problem, we just don't want to promise to move everything over to this style before we see if it works for you all

I am very motivated to start moving things over

probably about as motivated as I was to make the WW actually

oh right, just wanted to point something out

that leak I shared last week?

showed off the transparency of the UI 😁

the leak

the original screenshot I took it from

[subtle pine]

Huh

[lilac sparrow]

OMG IT LOOKS SO GOOD

i love the aesthetic so much

[pallid tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/peak-mountain-top-mountain-mountain-range-wind-gif-12834632201688728871

[worn dove]

If it's small why is it transparent? I feel it takes from the readability just a little

[mortal bramble]

It takes up a bit more than half the screen width in mobile, so the transparency means you can stay aware of what's going on around you more

[worn dove]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-886916876512866984

[thorny marten]

it looks soo cool 🙀

but I wonder what it's like in vr

omg but the theme/style is so awesome

okay wait though, does the menu wee see replace the home screen? or will there be a separate home page

[mortal bramble]

No home screen or nav bar

[thorny marten]

That seems like it would make it harder to navigate

like the store ui is right now

[mortal bramble]

This is not feedback we've heard so far, but would love to hear from you after you get a chance to try it out. @signal nest can share his first hand experience with it

[rancid comet]

I have a question? https://discord.com/channels/193073071802941451/1344412816932864000

[mortal bramble]

Which text exactly?

I've been really heads down on WW lately

[rancid comet]

Like the neon text, it won't let me change it to neon, after I save the room and go to a new instance, it disappears

[mortal bramble]

I can ask around and see if it's being tracked

[rancid comet]

Like this one here I'm talking about

https://discord.com/channels/193073071802941451/1341798661943726184

[crimson island]

Is the whole watch being swapped to this style over time?

[mortal bramble]

As long as the player feedback indicates that it's the right direction, then yes. We wanted to get a feel for player sentiment before committing to moving things to the new design

[raven geyser]

so now we have 3 watch varients going around 💔

i still really like widget watch tho

[mortal bramble]

Yeah I'm not thrilled about it either, but this is probably the least painful way to move things forward

[haughty wave]

yall ik its celebration time and all but

unpopular opinion, if its not more customiseable to look better, i would rather just have the current watch forever

in MY opinion

i do not like it

great ideas

and i tthink its good overall

i just dont like the comicbook style

its uglay🤢

[thorny marten]

I love the new style from what we saw

[haughty wave]

i like the layout

thats perfect

with the outfits and the players

love that

but i just dont like the harsh outlines and shadows

and the orang is really faded

[thorny marten]

I think no navigation bar or home page will make it harder to navigate (I might just like navigation bars though)

[haughty wave]

basically yellow

[thorny marten]

that looks soo cool though 🙀

[haughty wave]

we can agree to dissagre! it is a time to celebrate them listening to us

and they have worked hard

[raven geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/we-got-bad-news-gif-2066997305184123543

[haughty wave]

too big

and chunky

chunk it yeah

chunk chunk

[thorny marten]

that's a ui system I was making for a random game (it's seeming like most of the other people who were working on that game don't want to work on it though 💔 so my ui may have been for nothing)

[raven geyser]

i told u that too 💔

[thorny marten]

that's easy to change

but the ui system is so cool though (I might be only saying that because I made it)

but no I was sending that video because splooty had seen it before, not for feedback on rec room's ui lol

[raven geyser]

i figured

[thorny marten]

but navigation bars !!

[worn dove]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1325713954403778560/1343822785675264101/buh.gif

[mortal bramble]

We'll still have a different kind of nav bar, just not chaining almost every piece of UI together like the current one does. We'll keep it on the level of like the current top bars on play or settings that move you to a different area of that section

[ivory star]

can the UI be a bit thicc? It Attracts flat earthers

[fallow plover]

I just want to throw my two cents in here. I love the new design for the UI, it looks way better than what we currently have (and hot take, it also looks better than the 3D UI). I just hope if this roll out goes well, we will get the rest of the UI for every (if not nearly every) UI page sooner rather than it taking 3 years. The current UI has been in development for how long now?.. and is STILL missing some UI pages...

[faint flint]

I feel like there could be a little bit more color to the button icons. And yeah i know it aint the biggest deal in the world, but i feel like if the icons popped out just a tiny bit more while still fitting the feel of the UI, it would be just a bit nicer in my opinion. Also, even if it doesn't matter I think this is also a good opportunity to tweak the UI sounds. theres nothing wrong with the current ones. but i feel like some sorta mix between the old sounds and the new sounds would be very nice and maybe even add a bit more to the UI's feel. But besides that, I think this new UI looks great!

[subtle pine]

oh yeah true i was thinking of that yesterday

i dont really think the current watch menu sounds fits with the WW UI

[subtle pine]

this is for quothy

[signal nest]

Day 422 of waiting for Widget Watch to release, meant to fix the stuff I pointed out in the original post #1192216802181255298 message

Here are the things I'm hoping will be added later:

• Dark mode
• Fully finish and rework the UI in this style

Hi

[untold talon]

Ello

Guess they just made a new Ui all together rather than changing anything

[signal nest]

Yea

But that's probably the better way to go about it imo

[subtle pine]

i wonder what happened to the people that designed the old UI

[oak marsh]

i hope there's an option to have the buttons on the home menu be colored like how the 3d ui was, other than that i like it

[main yarrow]

https://tenor.com/view/fish-spin-sha-gif-26863370

[mortal bramble]

Oooh this is a good question, lemme get my thoughts together

[mortal bramble]

We're scoping out the work that needs done to deliver the first redone page based on the positive feedback we've gotten so far, but we may not commit to them until we see the actual reception after it launches.

I'll also fess up to being part of the reason why we slowed down on conversion. We prioritized getting improved systems into place so that whatever future UI we built wouldn't have the same lag issues as the current Watch UI. The team that works on this is probably a lot smaller than you're imagining and we can only do so much at one time 😅

Okay, coming back to the question on why people can't switch between the options-

As much as I would love to be able to rely purely on community feedback, that approach runs the risk of only hearing how changes affect a small part of a large player base. I also need to understand how having the new UI affects the experience for new players who might not be hooked into the community yet.

The other part is that the changes in the groups are honestly really subtle. There's four variants and we're testing along two dimensions: widget content and widget behavior. They're split up like this:

• Group 1: Widget A and Dynamic behavior (this means we'll only show certain widgets under certain conditions when we think the widget is relevant)
• Group 2: Widget A, Static behavior
• Group 3: Widget B, Dynamic behavior
• Group 4: Widget B, Static behavior

These changes will help us understand how those small differences affect your experience and will help guide our future choices. I'm particularly interested in whether the dynamic behavior or static behavior will be better. But like I said, these are small changes rsther than drastic ones

[subtle pine]

here is my questions for you quothy, both related to the Watch Menu and just some random stuff:

1. do you know what happened to the people that made the original watch UI?

2. if the current watch home menu UI is accepted by everyone, what is the next menu you guys are planning to update to WW Design.

3. were there more designs of WW you or someone made but decided not to use it (ik some that were in research lab but im not talking about those)

4. favorite sandwich?

5. why the name quothy?

6. ignoring the fact that you are a staff member, how do you like the game so far?

[mortal bramble]

1. Most of them are still at Rec Room, some still work on UI and some work on other stuff now.
2. I really don't want to make any promises on what we're going to overhaul in case something changes, but I will say that the two top candidates right now are one of the most used areas of the UI and one of the ones that never got converted to RRUI.
3. Our designers have had several ideas over the past few months, but nothing that was too different from the research lab stuff. The style we ended up using was one that clicked for a lot of us as having more of a Rec Room identity (though we also want to try out adding more color 😁 )
4. Uhhh I'm not sure right now actually. I cycle through favorites a lot. Maybe a french dip?
5. Ah yes the lovely "where did you get your internet handle from" 😂 . Honestly I went through an Edgar Allan Poe phase aaaages ago and really loved the poem "The Raven". Quoth the raven, nevermore -> quothy
6. I really like the game! I'm always so impressed by what players create and I'm happy to be a small part of it of giving them the space and platform to share what they've made

also, we had to turn out the optimization split test again because we missed one piece of analytics data . The fix should hopefully ship in a couple weeks and we can finally turn it back on for good

[subtle pine]

you should just grind to level 50 so you can get 5 star box and showcase what you got from that box.

sorry for the ping

btw this is more of a accurate emoji

[idle plinth]

Are you planning on adding a little color quothy to the WW UI? Or is that out of the question?

[mortal bramble]

We definitely want to add color! We have a few ideas that we're planning on trying out after the initial split test

We actually have plans to add a third panel to WW, which should ship sometime in April

[idle plinth]

Fantastic! That's my only gripe currently and that would make it (dare I say) better than the OG menu!

[crimson island]

Will the home screen get a rework with the new UI?

*If everything else does

[subtle pine]

That's the goal

[mortal bramble]

WW takes the place of the Home page. Anyone in a WW test group will not have the Home page or the bottom nav bar

[crimson island]

*Login menu

I meant the login menu

[mortal bramble]

ah yeah that'll definitely get a pass

I'm itching to redo it honestly

the implementation is very spaghetti-fied and hard to work with

[crimson island]

Yay! It's not bad, but it has no charm or personality.

Well the new changes are bad.

[mortal bramble]

wait which new changes?

[crimson island]

The ones that moved the logo. Makes it feel too empty.

[mortal bramble]

ahhh gotcha

[crimson island]

The old one was fine. Just had the previously mentioned issues.

[mortal bramble]

tbh I see title screens as a particularly difficult piece of UI to get right (ofc I'm also not a designer lol)

like they need to be lightweight, but not bland

[crimson island]

Yeah

Walking Dead Saints and Sinners did a great job, but no idea how well the idea would port over, especially when considering load times and framerate.

Minecraft also has an excellent main menu.

Shows the game, but still is a main menu.

I think the old main menu (Registration) was better visually, until it came to playing the game.

[digital cipher]

OHHH LOL

[digital cipher]

The ui is so BIG

[thorny marten]

Okay wait

Will we have a home button though?

Because pressing the back button a bunch of times to get out is annoying

[mortal bramble]

On screens or mobile? You can always click/tap outside the UI to close it

[thorny marten]

I mean to get back to the home page

Like the main/first page

[mortal bramble]

The WW is that page now

[ivory star]

One question, will the new Widget UI will be 3D when it will came to VR? because 2D is not cool when being in VR mode you know.

[thorny marten]

Yeah I mean like will there be a button or way to go back there? (Other than just pressing the back button until we're all the way back there)

Wait I might have accidentally left ping on for that reply, I'm sorry if I did!!

[subtle pine]

if you are planning to remake the log in screen idk why but i want to see something like rayman raving rabbids 2's character selection was. in VR you can walk up to your character basically point at it to select it and log in. same thing can be with the screen players too

Day 423 of waiting for the Widget Watch to release next week #1192216802181255298 message

• Dark mode
• The UI is fine-tuned to be easier to use/navigate
• Fully finish and rework the UI in this style in a reasonable amount of time
• VR support that feels like it was made with VR in mind

[rotund anvil]

vr support is a big thing

idk big blocky buttons just work better for vr imo

ive never used my physical hand to press buttons with any 2d ui, ive always used my cursor

3d ui just works better for a 3d system imo

[ivory star]

facts i want to have satisfaction of pressing those buttons without the cursor

[raven geyser]

i love rayman raving rabbids

[crimson island]

I think a main menu that looks like the campus you see in the birthday stuff would be cool.

that reminds me of how the current ui makes the makerpen a bit slower to work with compared to the 3d ui, i hope we can use the makerpen quicker with this new ui they're making

[subtle pine]

hope the maker pen ui with WW Theme has the same layout

[ivory star]

its just watch menu rework. if it will be done makerpen will be done later

[worn dove]

Omg SUCH A GREAT LIST

[subtle pine]

i know but in the future when they focus on the maker pen

Can't wait to see the blue version of this one.

I love the blue varient.

Especially the shade of blue.

Kinda wish we got more specially coloured UI based on the time.

i just wanna be able to change the color scheme to how the 3d ui was, like yellow background with a red play button and blue notifications button

[subtle pine]

quothy just asking if there are any issues that has appeared making the split test to be delayed or is march 5th still the planned dated?

[mortal bramble]

just as a heads up, I wanted to let you all know that the UI team was not directly impacted by the layoffs today. That being said, we'll obviously need some time to process things and this may slow down some of our WW follow ups by a week or so

The current plan is still to launch the WW split test on 3/5. There's a chance we'll need to start the roll out off slower than we originally intended to make sure an analytics issue isn't having negative impacts on other parts of the game. More details to come when I'm officially back at work on Wednesday (I picked a rough time to take a few days off 😅 )

[lilac sparrow]

I’m glad yall are okay!

[fallow plover]

Thanks for being open and letting us know, it means a lot to have actual communication with devs.

[mortal bramble]

Well damn

Very curious how the widget watch will affect this thread

[nimble flower]

if the widget watch UI gets applied to all of the existing watch, I'd consider this thread closed tbh

hopefully the work goes well

rec room needs a win 🥺

[signal nest]

Idk if I should keep going until the entire watch is complete though. That'll prolly take a really long time

[idle plinth]

I say you continue, you may have won the battle but you haven't won the war

[ivory star]

that would be really bad if your internet dies for 1 day and u'll lose the longest streak in RR server

[mortal bramble]

feels so good to see WW on the live build

(only for me because my account is overridden into the split test)

I'm so excited to start rolling it out tomorrow

[fallow plover]

I hope I get it 🤞

My only issue is muscle memory, gonna take a minute to learn the new UI. Otherwise I LOVE it, and I really hope we get the rest of the RRUI changed to WW (without having to wait 5 years :/..)

[ivory star]

Yippee! Also, will the avatar randomier be back? I miss randomly generated avatars

[thorny marten]

@karmic prairie has it too

[mortal bramble]

we changed the name of the parameter that controls whether it's turned on for the version we shipped

[thorny marten]

🙀

[subtle pine]

Quothy, how do you manually enable split tests? Is it going and manually enabling certain types of groups or specific players in the server room? Or what?

[mortal bramble]

I click a "start" button on a we page haha. I can also control what % of players it's rolled out to, which we'll probably do with WW tomorrow. Like we'll do 25 or 50% of players for a few hours to a day to make sure we aren't causing more crashes or other bad behavior, then we'll increase it to our target

[crimson island]

If Lucenator doesn't have it, I will be sad

[subtle pine]

quothy, ik you guys arent going to do store tab next but when you guys do it is it possible for it to show everything in the search tab? sure it shows everything but it limits to certain areas which sucks because people dont know what items exist or dont until they see someone wear it, or google the name.

we're starting it for half of the playerbase today and then the other half tomorrow as long as it looks like we haven't made things go boom

i can post once we start it so you all can check to see if you're in it

[idle plinth]

epic!

[subtle pine]

can you answer this quothy?

[mortal bramble]

oh whoops didn't see that

I can bring it up to the team that owns the Store UI. I think they have some upcoming work planned around that, but I could be wrong

[subtle pine]

hope so because since the customize tab getting a update where it doesnt show you a name PLUS not being able to buy and modify clothes from the customize tab and you are being forced to use store tab it sucks and even is a struggle for me to find clothes for my outfit

after we finish that version. We've started the early bits of work, but we're at the "let's try some things and figure out how to make it a good 3D experience" stage

cool

[ivory star]

i got the new widget UI it looks so dope

[rancid comet]

I don't got it 😭

[ivory star]

rip

its so smooth

i don't see any lag spikes anymore when opening the widget watch

Good job quothy you did amazing job

that looks interesting

quothy! on what day/month do you predict that The widget UI will be released?

[fast arch]

There's a Widget Watch thread now: https://discord.com/channels/193073071802941451/1346912823531409528

[mortal bramble]

sometime between 4-6 weeks from now as long as the split test doesn't show that we made everything worse and we don't hear that players hate it

[rancid comet]

NOOO 😭😭😭😭😭

[ivory star]

That's awasome, im excited the widget watch will be released on VR Version. I love the widget UI already even if its not fully finished. I really doubt that people will hate it, Only people will hate that the muscle memory will change but it will be fine overtime, its like with old Watch UI, Everyone hated it after it got removed but everyone stopped and people don't hate it anymore

[lime panther]

@mortal bramble !!!

what happened to my watch

and my makerpen looks off

[mortal bramble]

oh hey I actually know what's going on here

are you on a different internet set up than usual? If not, then I recommend restarting the app

[lime panther]

no im not

i tried restarting my game like 3-4 times now

ik it's something with split tests i think

but i haven't messed with anything lol

[mortal bramble]

yeah basically you don't have a connection to the service that runs the split tests

and we've been really, really bad at cleaning up after ourselves 😅

do you have another account you can check?

[lime panther]

yeah

i've tried logging into a few alt accounts

[mortal bramble]

Let me see if someone remembers what to do

[lime panther]

yeah statsig is very weird sometimes

[lilac sparrow]

On an entirely different topic regarding the UI: I’ve come to realize that the text on the customization menu was essential to me. I now lack customization literacy for any new items. Searching for items becomes obsolete if I don’t know what the name is for the item I am searching for. I understand that the removal of text probably reduces the lag when using this menu but it has destroyed a key component of customization.

Not sure if anyone else has this feeling tho

[lime panther]

i can still get to the homescreen!!!

[lime panther]

Oh also I fixed it. For some reason the statsig api was returning a 500 internal server error

[mortal bramble]

Bleh, that would do it. This is a good reminder for us that we need to clean up old tests and update our defaults so players don't see this

[crimson island]

You are correct

omg you got old maker pen UI

[ivory star]

Is it should susposed to be like that?

[lean vessel]

Tbh i miss the old menu, so if there should keep the old one, there should add a option to use the old one or the new one. and the old menu was very bright so maybe add were u can switch betewn dark mode and white

Lol that's our placeholder image. Wonder what happened there. I'll take a note that we should replace that with a better default

[subtle pine]

reminds me of that one image where a clothing piece/weapon skin/consumable image was replaced with exactly this picture in the wishlist tab.

[ivory star]

It looks funny when its just laser tag image

Can you add names of it under the buttons?

You're* (:

But ngl I think it's a great improvement. It just needs some getting used to

[lime panther]

@mortal bramble idk if you're down to tell me but what's the name of the widget watch split test? i really wanna disable it from my account until it improves a little more. (i know how to disable split tests, all i need is the name.)

right now, i'm seeing "use_app_nav_forship" and "use_app_nav"

okay i did it

it was use_app_nav_forship

[lilac sparrow]

ok what i never imagined that someone would go out of their way to go to the slightly older home screen of all things😭
i understand that the WW has some problems but you’re intentionally going for the ui with more issues. changing your ui now is not going to change the inevitable, i just don’t get the purpose of this.

[crimson island]

Only actual use are the split tests that no one likes, but even then, it probably risks a ban. Is that worth it?

Only split test I would've happily risked it for, is the one that put a red dot with a muted symbol in the middle of the screen on VR.

Look closely at the bottom of the screen in the video, and you can slightly see it.

You could temporarily disable it if you went onto an alt without it, then went back to the main

[subtle pine]

tbh i like that feature for VR. especially you dont always know that your microphone is off

sure vrchat does something similar but still

[crimson island]

1. You're wrong
2. It's location was distracting
3. Not toggle-able
4. Too bright
5. Always up

VRChat it's off to the side, toggle-able, you can chance the opacity, it's not in the way, lights up if you speak, not distracting, can just be an outline

[lilac sparrow]

i will agree that that needed to be toggle-able but i need that feature back. i’ve humiliated myself too many times by thinking im having a conversation with someone just to realize i’ve been muted for the past hour

[crimson island]

Yeah, it'd be nice, but they took the idea from VRChat, but added none of the good.

[raven geyser]

i hate people who use the word skid without knowing what it means

[ivory star]

i was about to call mods

[subtle pine]

😭

[mortal bramble]

that optimization split test is now started again for a third time 🤞

[tough hornet]

ill tell you this

the older watch ui was simple yet colourful, user friendly and not cluttered

the new one is just so confusing

different buttons take me to the same dang page

and idk why the buttons r so small

and the ui is so inconsistent

because on some pages it had the older watch ui theme

and also

on the older watch ui

there were like so many buttons

so it was quicker to do actions

on this one i gotta press like 5 buttons to access my darn backpack 😭

while it used to be just one button

[signal nest]

No you don't?

Just open the watch, go to the home menu if you're on the quick access tab, and press Backpack

I just think people need to give it a chance and get used to it. I hope they'll get to redoing the entire UI in this style; someone else mentioned that that's likely the reason why everyone isn't too fond of it atm

[tough hornet]

i would show you a video but i dont have image perms

oh nevermind i do here ._.

okay ill record a video brb

[nimble flower]

depends which split test bucket they were in

maybe one of them didn't have an easy to access backpack button?

[tough hornet]

its around 4

whereas on the old menu the button was already there on the start which took your straight to it

you just click the watch and BAM

its already there

[mortal bramble]

The portal panel is the same in all test groups, I didn't want to mess with that

[nimble flower]

ah good to know

Wheee

[idle plinth]

well, in actuality, the clocks around RR actually do show the actual time in your location

there's too many actuals in that sentence

[subtle pine]

I cannot read that clock. I can only read the digital onr

[idle plinth]

damn, in the UK, it's like the cornerstone of primary education

[signal nest]

I'm in the US and yea we were taught how to read clocks as well

Honestly I feel like reading a clock could be something you can easily Google and learn reasonably quick

But for whatever reason it still takes me a few seconds to see specifically what number the minute hand's at since I have to multiply where it's at by 5 in my head

Anyway...

I cannot read the clock on my watch because my avatar items go over it lmao

Maybe add the current battery % on standalone headsets like the quests or pico? I've seen some beat saber mods do it

[tired lava]

Does it? Never knew that. Cool

[tired lava]

I was never thought. My teachers hated me

[tired lava]

Why not just have a phone ready to check the time. Rec room ui would look bad with a clock in it

[signal nest]

It depends on where they put it on the watch and how it'll look

It's much more convenient to lookvat your wrist to look at the time in-gane

[tired lava]

Tbh the watch should have that time system instead of going into the ui

Just put it in the watch and put a setting to make it digital or the other one i forgot the name of

No ui changes needed for that

[signal nest]

the physical watch on your wrist already shows the actual time. i think it'll be a nice feature for people who prefer reading a digital clock

[tired lava]

Then there doesn't need to be a change

Other then adding a digital option in the settings lol

(and a option to disable split tests from your account) that can be toggled off and on

[subtle pine]

i feel like it can be on the side where those big buttons are at like on top or on bottom

[terse sand]

Why not have something convenient that doesnt require you to have a phone

vrchat added it to their UI and it works perfeclty fine

i can just press tab and see the current time

[tired lava]

Because its a game. Adding a time system is kinda dumb

For a game like what it is adding a time system to the ui would make it look bad

[terse sand]

i dont think you have heard of unix time before

if you call it a "time system"

[tired lava]

Just figure out how to read the rec room watch

[tired lava]

Literally the definition of unix

[terse sand]

ill show you a screenshot

of my current avatar

the gloves I use cover up the watch

[tired lava]

And thats rec rooms fault

Thats your fault

[terse sand]

yeah im not arguing with a brick wall when I got pressure to play

[tired lava]

I ain't going to argue with some stupid guy who doesn't want to read a normal watch

Its already in the game no need to make it digital

Except a digital watch. But no new ui for it

[tired lava]

Quick question. Are you in full body?

[terse sand]

yup

[tired lava]

I've always thought gloves on fba looked bad

Makes it look like scrap mechanic type hands

[terse sand]

okay 👍

[feral current]

Just had a glitch and got reminded of this olde beautiful 3d UI

[subtle pine]

Gosh that's garbage

[rotund anvil]

why is the old ui still there

is it that hard coded

[feral current]

I mean parts of it never left on my game, I always get a mixture

[terse sand]

yeah

the rec room code is a bunch of Jank code

[rotund anvil]

i heard it was all hardcoded but dang

[terse sand]

it was basically like physically enabling an disabling buttons in order to make the layout

It was actually horrid

but it felt so good because it was BUILT for VR

Fun fact though, the 2D watch Buttons actually use physical 3D buttons, put your pointer close up to a button and watch as a 3d green outline appears that acts as a button

[crimson island]

People didn't know about that?

[terse sand]

NOBODT TALKS ABOUT THAT

It being there changes so little when using it

no where near hopeless when there is active change taking place on the ui

[subtle pine]

[silent basin]

Widget watch should just entirely be redone honestly

its UGLY

being constructive, its usefull with the quick actions,
But the style with cream colors is not a good choice

[night mauve]

So what's this yapping all about?

/simplify

[silent basin]

The UI is supposedly bad, and this whole thread is about asking for it to be redone

[night mauve]

How does it look like

Cause i had a really bad one for 5 days and it's switched back to the old one

[worn dove]

Yes, widget watch’s got a lot of work to nail the aesthetic, mainly just the devs deciding on a dang style, because there are three different disorienting watch interfaces. I even ran into the old maker pen palette this morning when setting game roles.

[lilac sparrow]

i think AND TAKE THIS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT that i heard that they were working on some sorta “watch themes” so that you can customize the watch. it might be rr+ maybe

i vaguely remember this so i’m starting to doubt if it was true

i found it:

Does nobody actually know that?

[terse sand]

I dont think so

because nobody mentions it

[stoic wedge]

I thought most people knew and were complaining that the ui was clunky to use

[mortal bramble]

everyone should have that optimization experiment I mentioned a couple weeks back. Watch Home and Play pages should load more quickly and you may see a slight increase to overall performance on some platforms 🎉

[terse sand]

More UI Improvements!

(Unrelated) Speaking of UI, Discord just revamped theirs and... it's not the best. There was no reason for it, the spacing and icon size especially in the message box is extremely weird, and the profile overlaps with servers but just why???

(In general I think a better place for the profile buttons would be where everyone's profile is on the right but it's not a big deal/

Why, oh why, are these NOT level???? Maybe Rec Room's UI isn't so bad after all

[signal nest]

yea, gonna have to get used to how the size of the UI elements have changed as well lol

[signal nest]

Maybe Rec Room's UI isn't so bad after all

wild claim lol

one thing though, i do like the padding between the icons. i think it looks less cluttered and more pleasing to look at

this is kinda weird though. the illusion of the server icons going behind the profile card is broken by the white indicator

[worn dove]

I was 3 pixels away to agreeing with you..

[signal nest]

that's probably cause the mic icon is thinner than the gear icon

[worn dove]

I'm so nerdy bruh I shoudl NOT care

[signal nest]

or at least it looks thinner

[signal nest]

but i like how it's more obvious that a server is in a group when it's expanded now

Sorry 😭

If you put your cursor over the buttons the gap between the grey boxes that appear also have bad radiuses like my image 🤓

But i'm not making another visual diagram again (like anyone cares 😭)

[mortal bramble]

I can't unsee it now 😭 😭 😭

wait are the cute little animations on hover new?

[worn dove]

No

[mortal bramble]

i don't think i've ever noticed the little mic wiggle

[signal rose]

Wiggle

[mortal bramble]

for people not on PC who don't know what I'm talking about

[subtle pine]

wait those were a thing?

[ivory star]

i would love to see in widget watch that you can grab the UI in VR like it was before but diffrent, or simmilar

(lunchenator add that to requests from other people please)

[stoic wedge]

It would be fun to be able to grab the maker pen ui instead of having to drag it with the pointer

[ivory star]

yeah same

its annoying

but when touched physically its just too slow to move and unclicks

[terse sand]

quote that

[grand dagger]

Oh this was peak makerpen building back in the day

https://tenor.com/view/jayders-put-it-on-the-list-gif-12764541

For April fools day we should get the old UI

Like before the 2D one

[still acorn]

:(

[subtle pine]

i think some of the code for the old UI is already removed from the game

also hope not

[worn dove]

Definitely not. It's so hardcoded you can still pull up the old block/report/votekick tab, old maker palette (although broken), etc

New idea: Can the new UI show the movement of the person on their profile like the OG UI? Not a 3d holograph of their avatar but just the motion of what they're doing with their hands instead of the default screenmode animations.

[subtle pine]

oh like lets say they are in a PVP room and the motion they are doing is like fist bumps?

[worn dove]

Yes, any room or motion. People who have used the old UI should know what I'm talking about.

The old pink profile UI used to have a 3d hologram in the watch of the player's avatar as they are moving around. It was really cool actually

[steel pier]

DiscGolfPropulsion is crazy

[tired lava]

It was really cool when i first saw it when it was added

I think it was added its been to long

[silent basin]

Widget watch is ugly in general. just make it cleaner or not cream colored

its useful, and the idea is great, but oh my god its ugly

[signal nest]

i'd argue it looks a lot better than the current UI

[candid pebble]

I still don't have the new wach menu 🙏 how do I get it ik it's as* but why do I dont have it

[subtle pine]

you have to be one of the 20% of the people to get it in the split-test
