I'm in group none. I hate it very much.

(me just standing and just staring at people having the 10% and me not having no widget watch on all 30 alt accs 🧍‍♂️ )

in the previous version even if you closed the watch you were still in that tab, but now when you close the watch sure it has you saved but trying to know where it was its hard. like i checked out mrkbx's UGC he made by searching his username through people tab. when i closed it i was wondering which one i should go and press to go back to the same tab. fortunately i got it but that's still the issue for me atleast

simple stag
#

so wait are you in group 1 or 2? group 1 should still have the behavior where opening/closing the UI keeps you at the same place you were

After you go to it then to another thing

You can’t enter it anymore it brings you back to the thing you opened earlier

# true meadow Notifications is broken

What did you expect on old code, which probably quothy changed the notifications API or some code that shows notifications, for the widget watch transition

buoyant shadow
# true meadow So the WW is Dookie?

No, there is a 3 watches old semi new and widget watch, Widget watch is being slowly transitioning to be main watch, changing API's and code breaking old code on older watches,

#

widget watch isn't that good now, but its being better every day

We pointed it at a temporary source while we waited for a change to come in and I forgot that the temporary source had an expiration date lolsob . It should be populating with something now

quothy do you know why they are updating the activity box UI that doesn't have W.W touch? or is this not know to you at all? because its very weird for you to say that W.W is being made yet the next UI that is getting updated is boxes UI with the old design

some people got it a few weeks ago again so idk if that was a mistake or a new split test

simple stag
#

okay, some split test updates from me before I go take a well deserved long weekend away from work

#

a few hours ago, we shipped the Profile panel version with the two row outfit widget and the RR+ banner that was up top. The variant was not only my favorite, but also performed the best

#

tomorrow, one of my teammates will also be shipping the Quick Access panel experiment we've been running. The two test groups are neck-in-neck, but I think we're going to end up shipping the one that shows you the Consumables widget when people are in a room with you

#

also tomorrow (or maybe early next week if things get busy), we'll be launching 3 more split tests targeting 3 different areas.

Quick Access: some small tweaks to make it so we show you different store items in different rooms
Profile: also small tweaks to show different store items in different contexts. No layout rearranging or anything, the Outfit widget stays 😁
Overall UX: okay, this one is going to be interesting. There will be three groups, two of them will reset you back to WW after a certain amount of time without opening your UI. One of those two will also make a pretty dramatic change to your Portal panel where it will always be there if WW is open.

I'm really, really curious to hear what you all think of the groups you end up in when they launch, so please keep letting us know how it's going!

Not a fan of them on opposite sides

So much distance to travel.

spring rain
eager oak
#

It works for mobile, but not really anything else. Would be nice if we could change the positioning.

hearty path
#

This is probably being designed for mobile users

#

That’s why they’re on opposite sides

#

But yeah I agree on a pc this sorta bums me out

eager oak
#

But if it's the mobile design on everything but VR, then it suffers the same flaw of the current watch for VR. Being used on something it wasn't made for.

#

Current watch works well on everything but VR

hearty path
#

That’s a really good point

#

Falling into the same hole they’re trying to dig themselves out

#

But I’m not sure how realistic it can be to burn through time and design details to curate a ui per each device the game is played on

eager oak
#

I mean, Widget Watch works fine on every screenmode device. It'd just be positioning that needs changed.

sly ruin
#

On PC it's attached to the screen on the left for me

hearty path
simple stag
#

Can confirm that mobile and PC have different layouts for that split test. Mobile is attached to the right side of the screen for easier thumb access and screens is 'attached' to the right side of the quick access/portal panel

#

other fun change for mobile- WW now avoids conflicting with any notches/cutouts on your screen

#

we are committed to make sure that it feels good on each platform, even when that means changing things up a bit to better fit how you interact with the UI on different platforms 🙂

queen oyster
eager oak
simple stag
#

so if your phone has a notch or a spot where your front-facing camera is, we now make sure that the UI won't render on top of it. Before we just kinda shoved it in far enough that it would be usable 😅

If your phone doesn't have any of those features, then the only thing you'll notice is that WW is shifted closer to the left side of the screen now

eager oak
#

This stupid piece of garbage

oh i havent noticed that with the WW before

I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.

#

3rd worst thing made by people.

#

Especially when we now have ways to hide it

#

We should publicly shame and boycott companies that keep it.

maybe because my phone has a tiny notch and i havent noticed WW clipping on my notch but still neat

Image shared from #1114546406674419864 message . This is just a piece of personal feedback and I am not sure if people will agree with me or not on this. I also hardly play on screen mode so I might just be complaining about something that isn’t even a problem.
The Choose Your Adventure page seems a bit redundant when the play menu is already available. The images that represent each genre also just seem odd compared to the others. I think that the “For You,” “Featured,” and “Recent” fit the aesthetic nicely and that the others should fit the theme. It’s also worth noting that “Fun with Friends” gets cut off.
The Trending page also feels redundant when there is already a store button (in addition to the one provided by the trending page). Personally, if I am looking to get something then I go out of my way to find it- not because it was advertised to me. Although I do see how it can be appealing to new players and frequent buyers, I don’t see how this page would be useful to long-time players who don’t typically purchase much from the store but that is more of a self centered complaint of mine. I understand why this is apart of the WW because of the recent blogposts so frankly I wouldn’t mind this staying if it helps RR in the long run.
Overall, Choose Your Adventure and Trending seem like they don’t have to be there and I much prefer Explore/Items/Social. I cannot emphasize this enough tho that I adore the WW so far.

queen oyster
#

the trending thing changes based on a RRO which is suprising

#

i once joined paintball and instead of it showing me trending stuff it was showing me clothes you can buy from pop up shop in that one RRO

Thumbnail sizes are not sized correctly in choose your own adventure.

The store sections prices are shifting the clothes up awkwardly into the top near the border…

This is a 3rd, brand new style of ui for a game that already has 2 competing UIs. I’m wondering why there is a push to reorganize this menu instead of finally converting the remaining 3d UIs. If I press “challenges” im expecting a 3d ui…

simple stag

#

Cause when I go to the settings then to something else and when i go back to the settings it’s the tab I was at earlier

And it’s annoying when you’re doing challenges

simple stag
#

okay I have a really weird thing for you to try to reset the Settings page

simple stag
#

next time that happens, go to the Quick Access page and click any of the buttons that open a page (like the View More button, one of the room categories, one of the store items, etc)

#

then try to open Settings again

if that doesn't work, lmk and I can get some more info so we can try to repro it

It was weird. I lost a few tests and randomly got them back shrug

I have a feeling they have stopped working on the widget watch for good

@simple stag I see your online so we where wondering… what is going on with widget watch rn?

I've been exhausted, toddlers are little gremlins that drain all your energy 😭

You could give them iPads of course!

#

They should keep the profile and portfolio buttons up here.

you just got old split test that they forgot to disable it

#

or no split tests at all

They could do something like,

  1. When you're in Full body and go to a profile, he could at least see the entire avatar, with his legs and shoes.

  2. Revive the Moving Profile Avatar: In the past, when you went to a profile you could see their movements, now it's all broken. What I was thinking is that if the player is in the session it changes the Idle screen mode animation to the animation he does in the room, like walking or jumping... Like old times. As soon as the player leaves the room, the Idle screen mode animation is restarted.

It would be nice for OG to get this revived... Please Rec Room

I do have an important update on things.

Unfortunately, we'll be turning off WW today. The tl;dr is that it didn't do well enough to ship it and continue iterating on it. I'm in the process of slowly writing up a larger explanation b/c you all have been excellent ❤️

devout whale
#

Thanks dude

devout whale
#

We just have to wait for about I wanna say 3-5 more widget watch split tests for them to get it completely right

#

And split tests normally last 3-6 weeks so

#

We’re gunna be here a while

simple stag
#

there are currently no more WW split tests planned

we're not currently planning on pursuing a WW style UI right now

devout whale

Aww 💔

#

It ran so well though, and was a very nice design, and you could see people will using it…

devout whale

#

I liked WW cause I could still use it in broken room instances

#

And also quick access to my saved outfits

simple stag
#

the current plan is to keep iterating on the Watch. The team as a whole is currently bouncing around between other efforts and helping out where we can

jovial verge
#

Possibly working on a VR UI is a better plan
I’m not entirely happy with the current watch and a completely different UI for VR than screen would be annoying in some ways but in others it could be better

devout whale
#

Because there’s menus such as the cheer ui or daily challenge ui which are still in the old format

#

I’m proud of Rec Room for admitting fault. I really started to dislike WW honestly. It just made the watch worse. The flat tablet UI is better than we think. Hopefully the store page gets piped up thought it’s very broken like the navigation bar disappears

#

Yeah dark mode would be pretty cool too but what rec room needs to fix RIGHT NOW is the black screen bug this game is unplayable with this

buoyant shadow
#

tbh, the current UI needs full rework, cuz its laggy mess.

#

in style of like old UI and widget watch while keeping the current UI layout

I will never forget the insanity that happened when the first new ui menu came out in 2020

really got bad in 2021 id say

#

They removed the WW, I wonder if this is a good thing for me...

true meadow
#

First of all you no longer have to worry about the tabs bringing you to the wrong place

#

Or when you close your watch the thing you were looking for closes so they put a small back button that is annoying to press

#

And the overall problem was the settings button, when you go to a tab before the settings button rhe settings button becomes that tab

#

So it’s a good thing

#

This is my opinion so don’t be crashing out at me

jovial verge
#

Rip WW

true meadow
#

I guess

#

It did get a hang of it a bit

#

But not too good cause it’s Dookie

feral snow
#

Approved

severe flare
ornate harbor
#

Especially on VR

#

But I also think part of why they scrapped WW is because they’ve put so much effort into the new 2d watch it didn’t make sense for the new one to make it all inconsistent again

#

Which is what I’ve been saying from the start, I don’t hate widget watch but it needs to hit RR as a full package, not a Home Screen that actually makes it harder to use

#

They’re were just making another Ui we have like 3 or 2 already

NOOOO we are forever stuck on unoptimized 2d ui that is kinda ugly and not user friendly blushsob

still counts, it's in game

And also it was a 2017 styled ui, those are really easy

Well i really hope intensive work is done with the current ui. Sad all that WW work went to waste

hey there! I just wanted to express how much I appreciate all of you for welcoming me as a dev, especially on a *slightly *contentious topic like the UI. I'm very grateful I got the chance to interact with you all. I had never been in a position to talk directly with players before like this and it was really cool figuring things out 😁

I'm thankful for my time at Rec Room for many reasons, but this is a big part. As unfortunate as it is, all good things must come to an end. This good thing just happened to come to an end like this.

I'm very much a person who focuses on looking for silver linings and I'm definitely doing that here. Before I dive back into job hunting, I'll be taking some time to spend time with my family, work on a side project I've had going for a bit, and maybe do some baking. I'll stick around here for at least a bit because I'd hate to lose touch

# simple stag hey there! I just wanted to express how much I appreciate all of you for welcomi...

Aww too sweet, it’s been an absolute honour to have you be with us and communicate and share all the lovely interactions we all had with ya! Even if we all knew the ui wasnt really great and the widget watch did end, it was cool to talk to the people doing it, it’s nice to talk and know the RR devs are wonderful people just trying to make their jobs count!

For your side project I hope it turns out amazing and had a lovely ui lol, and spend all the time in the world with your family and live your heart out, give us food recipes I beg, cya later dude!

Thanks! We'll see if the side project UI turns out nice, turns out UI design is really, really hard facepalm_laugh . I'm great at making sure it's well-built, but not well-designed lol. It's especially important too since it's a turn-based tactics game

Inspired by Swedish kardemummabullar, these twisted cardamom buns highlight the irresistible spice in the dough, the filling, and the glaze. Make these cardamom buns as the perfect pairing for morning coffee or tea.

they also stopped developing the ww even before the layoffs
