#Widget Watch
4788 messages · Page 5 of 5 (latest)
(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
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
i got confused. yeah i am in group 2
😭 😅
man I had the split test where it kept my same spot, but then I lost it :/
I hate being in group none! This sucks! It's unusable!
Oh wait, I mainly play in VR. Nevermind!
@simple stag checked this out yet?
at least you aren't on a hold up group like me lmao
.
I have the profile WW again, but as the picture of quothy I doesn't have that again...
😢
unfortunate
yeah, that's how I mitigated the crash 😅
Will we get our? (→) WW outfit when it's patch soon? 🙏🥺🙏🙏
we haven't been able to get to the root cause yet, so it'll depend on when we figure that out. The person helping us get to the bottom of why it's crashing was out for a few days
Hope we will get on WW VR Version a new Keyboard to bc this current one have issues
No Smileys
To Close to Face
No Translation for other languanges like öäü or éúó
Buggy / Laggy and more
If you don't know where the problem is coming from, you can simply put this page up and running but remove the avatar preview. As for this one while waiting for the problem to be fixed, Easy right?

Both the one and two row versions of the Outfit widget have the issue unfortunately 😅 . I don't believe you'll have the version that you have for more than a few days, as we'll be completing that split test and shipping not-that-version next week
went to customize menu, left. pressed store, back on the customize menu. left customize menu, pressed backpack. in backpack menu, left backpack menu, pressed store. backpack menu
PRESSED PEOPLE TAB, PEOPLE TAB, LEFT PEOPLE TAB, PRESSED STORE TAB, PEOPLE TAB
Aww.... 😢
Notifications is broken
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
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
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
WW has been a mostly additive process, meaning we've changed minimal things in the existing implementation. I'm not saying we've been perfect about it, but I also don't want anyone to think that we're intentionally breaking/deprecating any older UI for WW
I know, but is it right that some API's got changed
yo yo quothy can we get some funny news
Still waiting for ww vr 
:0 do you have any silly things that happened when developing you can share? I’m curious
funniest bug with WW? and can you show it to us?
so does this mean we can keep our current watch ui?
i personally just cant stand widget watch and was glad when i lost it, it looks fine though
Widget watch on VR when? Split test when?
And the outfit UI 😭
what happened to the store
I ate it
mean
Don't see your name on it
Sorry, I eated the name
I NEED WIDGET WATCH
I NEED WIDGET WATCH
🛒 moment
real
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
. It should be populating with something now
I was wondering why yesterday's revenue numbers were down compared to the prior few days 
also hi all, I've been really heads down on some stuff lately, will make some time to chat this week
yep
I like those new icons
The widget watch UI sounds should sound like its 90s cause rec room is in 1987
Like the company or the year it takes place in
The game takes in 1987 you can see that everything has 87 like skins
No way
yes
So only widget watch opinions matter it seems
Day 1 of waiting till 2015 UI will be added back
rr wasnt a thing in 2015
It was a first concept project buddy
source
forum website don't exist anymore
it says gullible on the ceiling btw
Now you’re gunna tell me the first rr trailer is actually from 2015
no, I literally said concept
Blind?
Well I mean to be fair yes and no due to the fact I am currently reading this text you are posting but irl I have glasses to see
so I wanna say a bit of both
Does this mean we all get widget watch or no
Pls give
Wait what did I miss? What happened to the luchenator’s daily thing? And his post that rec room ui desperately…?
Luchenator was banned for "spam"
They cleansed the thread. Deleting every message and the thread.
oh i ended it at day 500
the thread already served its purpose (for a while now lol) and i don't see the point in keeping it updated
Fair
(and i got annoyed by everyone asking for a song lmao)
I like my theory more
Not my fault. Trust
(Could've told us to stop)
i guess
i kinda figured everyone would stop on their own though lol
For someone who did something for 500 days, you sure don't realize how persistent this community can be
yes you will also be getting the exclusive vr ui
I don't believe that the Widget Watch developer replied with a "no. sorry, not for me. Can't do that"
Speaking of Widget Watch. When can we have that mister Quothy? (https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1065119973883777024/1367039592435417169/20250429_212850.jpg?ex=68132255&is=6811d0d5&hm=5c742f3d5f39f16199cb7dec0635821106f05d27e101ffe5f260bd3c2a7cb02d&)
When will we get lvl 99 🙂
Is it fixed yet?.. I really want this.. I love that. It was... Perfect for me.
Normal (FBA) | GoldenTrophy | Crimson | Jumbotron | Normal (Bean)
I don't think it's possible... One day maybe...
But I won't give up for an Idea I had (#1067588021102321755 message) 😒I need to send another ticket, It's been a long time since last
OMG UI song is coming!!!!! IM MORE EXCITED THAN GTA 6
im gonna have an aneurysm
Give us song
WIDGET WATCH LEAK 🔥
the new ui is crazy @simple stag
you are actually cooking gng
||(tho fr widget watch is great, plz fix the bugs tho 😭)||
Make UI song or i will steal your fridge >;3
give me ww in vr💔💔💔
its not even been made
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
Likely made to hide prices so people don't pick the most expensive, hoping they'll end up buying tokens for the expensive option
you aint quothy. let quothy answer it
I never said Quothy can't answer
or to prevent confusion, i lowk thought you could sell this stuff
so we have a technical limitation getting in the way of creating new UI with WW visuals 😅
the way we build it is so new & awesome some other areas haven't caught up yet
also quick update- everyone now has the two row Outfits widget on the Profile panel, yay!
peak
i think early 2024 ui still beats that by a mile

the only ui i want now is the outfit ui
some people got it a few weeks ago again so idk if that was a mistake or a new split test
i miss when you could add images to outfits
#BringBackSelfiePhotosInOutfits
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!
I beg, please pull strings and add a way to close it.
If I get a chance soon, I'll make sure we work on that. It's not something we want to show all the time for sure. Unfortunately, we are super heads down on some cool stuff right now
REC ROOM analog horror
Hello quothy, when about that spirit test with the five outfits slots (when all PS5 crashes) And what if we can select what outfit to put in that slot.
THANK YOU QUOTHY!!!!! 😁😁😁😁😁
It was that!!!
Quothy Please increase the rollout i want to test Widget watch
I would if I could 😭 . We're not quite there yet
Quothy please decrease the rollout I want to feel special for having widget watch and have others not have it
oh, my, I really want to give feedback to widget watch UI but i just can't. even my all alt accounts doesn't have widget watch 😭
Discard changes?
i hate this specific pose of the RR avatars lmao
its so unnatural. i don't see anyone in-game or irl weirdly lifting up their left arm like that just to wave 
ik it's just a quirk with the inverse kinematics, but a more natural pose would look more pleasing imo
Yeah true it's kinda weird
i do that all the time bro ☹️
disrespect is crazy
clearly havent seen me in game
w ww update with portal panel on the side, feels a lot quicker to navigate ✨
It used to different then uba then they removed a lotta fba watch animations so it looks really weird
just got the new splittest
and WOW i sure do love it. the only issue is that the thing on the right side is smaller
Wdym dude this is how I walk around whenever I play
dude this is just how I play paintball?
yea that’s my issue with it as well
It works for mobile, but not really anything else. Would be nice if we could change the positioning.
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
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
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
I mean, Widget Watch works fine on every screenmode device. It'd just be positioning that needs changed.
On PC it's attached to the screen on the left for me
Ooh can you send a screenshot when you get a chance
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 🙂
i actually dont understand wdym with this 😭
YAY
The stupid part the camera takes up and then gets a black part around it that could be used for more screen
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
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
Why is there a camera notch on it?
I want a screen not half a screen and a black bar.
Because for some reason despite having ways to avoid it phone companies keep it
Is it possible to fix the search thing? It doesn't show ever single clothing item/invention we can get
which search thing?
in store tab
ah, I have no idea what's been going on there recently. I can poke around next week if I get some time
I will eat your computer so you have nothing but time
Is there any news on the outfit ui coming back or the split test being released to everyone 
its going to be reworked for sure
Is the WW split test %'s Will be increased?
It's too big on my screen
Its too big, and clunky. I dont like the blandness of it either
I still think it needs a whole rework with layout and colors
i dont like where the buttons are placed
bro do u think they'll ever stop this from happening (I know that ui isn't widget watch, there's not really a ui thread lol)
boring\
Yeah I don’t get that
Just fix the settings button
Having to switch rooms to use it gets annoying after the second switch
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.
tbh i think it should like be replaced with the reccomended rooms
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
uh
you stole my pfp and my friends man what the hay
you're just crazy
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…
wat
wdym by this? Settings button should always be available
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
That's fair feedback. I will say that the version you currently have is only one group of a split test, so 2/3rd of players with WW do not have the portal panel permanently available like you do. If that variant does best, we'd then rethink what goes on the Quick Access panel
oh, that's not good. Definitely a bug
I have to switch rooms to use the settings
And it’s annoying when you’re doing challenges
okay I have a really weird thing for you to try to reset the Settings page
How?
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
Cheers
if that doesn't work, lmk and I can get some more info so we can try to repro it
nah, I'm focused on UI
Who works on rro
I did help out a smidge with MitM when I first started
different team, not sure who all is on discord for them
Couse people are begging to get the soccer ball fixed
And we need it so rec room can be alive do you want rec room alive @simple stag
ofc I do, but this thread is focused on WW feedback
WW is a new take on the UI that we're trying. It's only available for 20% of non-VR players right now as we iterate on it
Can you take a look who works for rro
we got some more reports of behavior like the Settings menu thing and disabled the feature causing it. It should take effect next time you log in.
To confirm, you were on the latest version that came out a few days ago, right?
Yayy...
Is that Rec Royale on Android?
recroyale is NOT running on that thing
the one with two watches
how do i get widget watch
😔
lmao
no wonder your phone overheats on roblox
the FPS is lower because of the recording software
its actually better than that
Quothy do you think you could tell
Us anything about when the daily challenges ui will be done? I feel like it’s a small menu and should be done already
Hi mister wigit wat
When outfit UI 😭😭
and the notification tab is broken, it doesn't show any notifications.. like invites I received
- The outfit UI cannot be added right now, because of some unstable code or something else.
- ask a developer that can fix that problem for you but one that can acually manage notifications
- It was years ago.. instead of trying to put us in Room 2... Fix problems...
new bean killing it.
- I don't know who to tell
What is blat talking about
I discovered that any tab without a back arrow can’t be exited
Even though you get out of the area like settings
If you were on a arrowless tab
That will be the new settings tab
Same with all the other tabs without arrows
How much longer tell I get widget watch 🫠
how much till i no longer
You don’t want it
It breaks every 5 minutes
And impossible to find stuff
Rec room really got just change stuff like please leave it alone
just give feedback.
They dont listen
they do, but not in form you think
im a mod of a game and the owner has being making bug reports for 7 months abt the bugs and stuff in his game and nothing changed actually it got worse
well its their CEO doing decisions not Devs, Thats sad, but thats how company works
How do I get the new watch? I’ve been waiting ages
its a split test, I REALLY WANT TO BE IN SPLIT TEST
Me tooooooo I love testing new features
any ww updates??
Congrats to graduating!
quothy im not sure if you are going to read this but if you do i have a question.
will W.W support local languages? even though rec room does have languages option they are mostly unfinished.
ahh, this place became spiders webs property, noone is here 🕷️ 🕸️
sorry all, been super busy 😭
we do have partial support in, but there are definitely some strings missing. Ideally, we'll get them updated the next time we get translations
👍 This is Really Fine, Being focused is better because you are locked into widget watch developement which it means better widget watch! Which i Really respect that!
we could have a small sneak peek with just emojis?
🥨
the way that pretzel stopped typing when i put this emoji
I had to stop to take a bite of the pretzel
That makes Sense! 🥨
I’ve been using the widget watch a bit more lately and I like it I just wish they’re was a keybind to return to the previous menu rather than clicking that one small icon
I still don't have widget watch only one time when it got released 🧍♂️
||(I ate pretzel today and i think it was pretzel cousin)||
It’s nice visually but at the moment it’s a bit frustrating me because I’m learning how to navigate it and find things
Yeah, Everyone will need to change muscle memory when widget watch will be out
Im a fan of the way its laid out except that one small thing
i used to use tab to back out but now i have to press the small watch button
super tedious
Any updates on VR or literally anything else
on VR no, (obviusly) cause the screen mode version must be finished and later porting to VR version
O
making 2 things at once is difficult which can make more bugs and more work, making one thing is better cause you don't need to think about VR version
Delete widget watch
no
Yes*
No*
Noyes**
Yes*
What about yourself?
Delete myself?
currect
by leaving the game
Never!
if you hate ww
why not try to make the widget watch better instead of leaving all together
I would pick that any day of the week 🥀
The “Remove widget watch now” thing was a joke
I would like to see widget watch get the love + attention it deserves
However in its current state I don’t like it, needs some improvements
But nope I should just leave the game right
quothy is working hard
I’m willing to give my feedback
You're backpeddling because you got criticized on hating on a menu, thats not a joke.
Or should I just leave the game forever like you mentioned
Can you put it in smaller words those words are too big for me 🙏
Nah, read more
Never!
I don’t like the menu as of now but I see the potential in it, I’m not sure what you mean by the backpedaling part
The entire interaction was a joke (although not a very funny one)
Everyone laughed!
You don't really need to do it.
Most used ping
Full on addon support is not something i know
Any New updates?
No.
I want widget watch to NOT be brown please @simple stag
bruh, its silent for weeks
Genuine question though, why brown?
I know
Probably cause Rec Room is based in 1987 (in campus lore)
so The UI is based as it was in 87's black and brown and white
87 had color tv bro
And also the college theme has been completely abandoned so why would that matter now?
I mean the Style not TV's
in 90's many things been using Leather and etc
you know what i mean
Yeah
College theme is still in the coffin though
This game has turned into “Play games with your friends on a college campus, with an additional side of building whatever you want” to “Roblox clone with AI”
the College Theme Made Rec Room Unique, but now its just another Enshittification, Just making the Game same as VRChat, Roblox, Minecraft and more
Shittiflication
Is everyone else’s watch notifications still not working?
#1065119973883777024 message :)
i got the better split test
(menu isn’t split anymore)
i still don't have widget watch ;p
what was the point of the widget watch?
was it meant to replace the watch? be a smaller watch?
I’ve had more issues with the WW more than the older one (there was none)
Tabs bring to to wrong tabs sometimes
The settings button is hell
Do we lag when making http requests?
optimized watch.
then why is it still not on vr?????
cause there would 2 diffrent systems
Please color the buttons to give it that og charm ❤️
Quothy is Silent cause she is making something special that we will love!
It died
man i miss typing here alot
hope its good.
quothy is in vacation or maybe cooking something amazing
@slender brook ofc
what?
you put X
ok? no need to @ me. stop witch hunting.
i can
you can witch hunt? you are literally calling me out for an emoji you could have ignored...
and whats "witch hunt"
calling out a user in a public chat
i got notiicatipn
i hate steamvr keyboard
i dont really care
retro
what
RETRO
its not unoptimised bright slop so no
0/10 ragebait i almost had to delete the game
no im being serious.
sure pal
not my fault i dont like that ugly ass bright current ui
i dont like it either
i prefer it over the widget watch though
Any updates?
none
I need juice of name of Sneakpeeks!
me
why cant I ever find where the fuck the friends button is
Do we have anything?? Pls?
I think having this, combined with the color icons I made would be sick
Anything but one color
100%
I loved the colors on this
Why’s it look like that
Just an idea i had for profile themes
Including changing fonts??
Nice
What was exactly wrong with the OG OG watch
It wasn’t flexible enough for em
3D buttons were the best though…….
Oh well
Why 😣
And why are they removing all the tabs
We had tabs for all the tags and even for rros
Now it’s even harder to find a game
Cause where’s the search button
OHHH it’s only in one tab now
Yeah it’s really stupid
The 2023 play menu was a lot nicer
We had tabs for all the tags
RROs were so much more easier to find
I think going from the coach account is faster
Than searching it up
Cause WHERES THE SEARCH BUTTON?
or just widget watch that has same layout as old UI as option
This was my concept
Don’t mind the giant black circle lol
I think more pastel/light colors are better
same with this one, i think having the icons colored as well would be sick
It’s a great idea I think the background behind color coded is better
Of the icons themselves not what I did
I feel like it should be on the other side of the screen
I don’t know how to describe it, but it feels not very feng shui being on the left
would be cool if it was an option
When is roomie coming out for everyone
DUMMY, is widget watch channel not #roomie
Plus it already is
any updates on widget watch ;_;
Quothy is Held Hostage to not say anything :(
I think he means free for everyone
That won’t happen
Only if rr buys bitcoin
It’s irritating how there are still bubble menus in the game
They should get rid of all of them and just delete the code
do u'all miss when quothy was giving so much sneak peeks?
i miss when the widget watch was actually being worked on
fr
probably being forced to work on ai
still waiting for the luchenator UI music
pls give me ww on vr
its still not made
smartest rr player
I am
Nope
Oh that is a cool bug.
I wish i was
Day 1 of waiting for quothy to give an update on Widget Watch
||im not doing this again||
575 days
lemme check my rank right now
you truly deserve it
What level for server veteran
55 i think
Here you go! 
We miss quothy, We miss quothy Teasing new features
#rr-media message OKAY WHAT
wow oldest version, you don't have any split test widget watch upgrade
I had the newest version yesterday, then suddenly challenges, events, and clubs just don't exist, I had to go on VR to see the daily
would be cool if the widget watch would be disabled because there are no updates whats soever
man i want my daily challenges back. cant tell what to do
well atleast there is a list 🙏
looks good
what is the style button
makes you wear ugc stuff
as if there aren't already enough buttons on the mirror 😭
Where's quothy
Busy
Not funny rec room. I’m gonna need the daily challenges back. We’ve already suffered from the loss of weeklies. Daily was the ONLY reason I play rec room. This isn’t funny. It’s a prank right.
The dailies still exist
How?? It’s missing from the Home Screen
(You know, widget watch REALLY should have shipped as a complete full project instead of just the Home Screen… this is, to be brutally honest, a complete mess. There are three watch designs that make no sense together in the same game what is going on???)
I wouldn’t hate widget watch if it were actually complete when it hit rec room.
just because its gone (the ui) doesnt mean its removed
you can still do the daily challenges and fortunately they are not random
https://www.reddit.com/r/RecRoom/comments/1c0hf04/all_the_daily_challenges/ here is the daily challenges in order. keep in mind some of the parts are outdated
was the events tab relocated? its one of the only reasons i still play the game
for real though
These aren't outdated. I don't know when they were created, but they haven't changed at all over the years.
nope it’s just gone
just fantastic. i do hope its a bug and they arent planning to remove the events system
they got rid of the events AND challenges tab 😭
hope it's a bug
i’m pretty sure it’s intentional
my other account has the original one
with challenges and events
that would explain it being a bug more 😭
oh i thought you meant the other watch
ig we'll just have to wait and see, because idk any good reason as to why they would get rid of those buttons
i’m not sure why they would start this split test
Oh wow thanks so much
This is what I was saying, challenges are gone
oh and events!! what the hell
Yea i can’t join my class events that i teach in
i need one of the other teachers or students to inv me
update
why won't they remove the widget watch rollout?
ah yes, let's split test removing events 😭
would love to see the reasoning as to why, because to me, this seems unnecessary
What happens if the game isn’t able to connect to statsig!!!
The basketball in rec center one was replaced
with what?
I think its now cheer someone
I don't even have the clubs button and i need that for sponsored leagues as well as events i am a apart of.
there is a workaround its a link button that you probably can link the club
Day 1 of waiting till quothy/dev will give a sneakpeak
I think this only changed because the RecCenter converted to RRS
Spawn in a Club Button
The link buttons
i got my buttons back after this update
yup its fixed!
I miss this channel
The color changed
Is that just your PC?
mobile
Oh
I think i just lost my ww split test while playing
nvm got it back
It was weird. I lost a few tests and randomly got them back 
I have a feeling they have stopped working on the widget watch for good
Ima do the thing
@simple stag I see your online so we where wondering… what is going on with widget watch rn?
Sisjakakdjfhejsidi
I owe you all an update this week, will get to that in a few days
sorry for the absence, this summer has been super busy for me outside of work and I haven't had a lot of bandwidth for you all
I've been exhausted, toddlers are little gremlins that drain all your energy 😭
I’m terribly sorry
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
are you hacker?
Haxorman
It’s a bug
oh okay i was worried for a second
It’s when your game doesn’t load game configs properly so it defaults to the actual hard coded ui
They could do something like,
-
When you're in Full body and go to a profile, he could at least see the entire avatar, with his legs and shoes.
-
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 modeanimation to the animation he does in the room, like walking or jumping... Like old times. As soon as the player leaves the room, theIdle screen modeanimation is restarted.
is quothy working on Widget watch now?
She said we’d get an update in a few days
I’m just waiting
plans have probably changed
that’s why i said plans have probably changed
🧍♀️
ok hi, I'm alive (barely)
Nah you’re dead
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 ❤️
Thanks dude
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
there are currently no more WW split tests planned
DJSISLENWJAIDO
But then what does this mean…?
we're not currently planning on pursuing a WW style UI right now
Aww 💔
It ran so well though, and was a very nice design, and you could see people will using it…
May i ask what you plan then?
I liked WW cause I could still use it in broken room instances
And also quick access to my saved outfits
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
Dang. I really wanted WW to work for the sake of 3D buttons back on VR
I think the use of a 3D UI for vr is way better than what a flat tablet design could ever be
A flat tablet makes sense when playing on a flat tablet but if WW was real for vr I’d want interaction that involves more than point click
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
Will you guys finish the ui maybe
Because there’s menus such as the cheer ui or daily challenge ui which are still in the old format
quothy is not a guy btw
That means no Widget watch as a whole?
I just say it in general man
In fact I just did it right now
aw, rip :( i think it had a lot of potential to be on par with the old 3D UI
well if that's the case, day 501 of-
back to the deoptimized ui
I also use dude as a gender neutral term haha
Yeah, that's what it means
im a dude
hes a dude
shes a dude
we're all dudes, hey!
all of the time got wasted just to get cancelled
I Love widget watch, but now its cancelled..
widget watch was such a cool concept man, i hope you get to continue working on it and some point again 🙏 😭
it was nice but i didnt know how to turn it off
Is this adios?
Can we just get dark mode at least
Idk
too hard to code in
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
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
thats what they said 5 years ago
I will never forget the insanity that happened when the first new ui menu came out in 2020
what happened that day..
there was dark mode
It still affects me when it comes to the ui in the makerpen.
There was purple ui
ik
i kind of liked the first few purple uis
especially the room ones
When I say insanity I mean the amount of people screaming about the performance issues and shitty VR support
yah i still liked it tho
really got bad in 2021 id say
They removed the WW, I wonder if this is a good thing for me...
It’s a good thing
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
Rip WW
would argue it was better than the orange/white 2D UI
if the entire interface was adopted to WW i think it would be much closer to being on-par with the old 3D UI
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
When outfit UI 2024?
What split test one only hackers can spawn
you know the 2016 one? that one
you mean the green screen tool?
yes
still, its in a game so it counts
NOOOO we are forever stuck on unoptimized 2d ui that is kinda ugly and not user friendly 
Nobody uses it
still counts, it's in game
And also it was a 2017 styled ui, those are really easy
2016/2017
But for actively used UIs there’s only 2 now
Well i really hope intensive work is done with the current ui. Sad all that WW work went to waste
allow me to introduce myself
Don’t you play on android
still tho
Do you mean the green screen tool with the makerpen?
The cube you can scale and resize
yes.
We’re talking about the dev only prop used in 2016/2017
:(
We finally got an update...
Oh, already said
My favorite Dev is gone NOOOOO
noooooo
Quothy…😭😔

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
You gotta show off your baking in #irl-food
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!
Show off some of your baked goods!
Stuff I've made before. Cardamom buns and conchas
Those look delicious!
Thanks! We'll see if the side project UI turns out nice, turns out UI design is really, really hard
. 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
And as requested, the recipes for the above pictures:
https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/cardamom-buns-recipe
https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/conchas-recipe
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.
Ohhhh these look absolutely delicious, shame I’m terrible at cooking!
ngl baking is easier to me than cooking. The trick is to weigh all your ingredients and follow the recipe exactly 
I’ll see about it some day!
Conchas look interesting
personally I like the cardamom buns better, partially because I always feel so accomplished when I twist them up and they look like fancy baked goods
I kinda wanna make a French fancy they’re absolutely lovely
Was WW’s death a precursor to the 50%? Killing the teams work before killing them ig😭
Well, Quothy was the biggest worker on it, and they got shafted in the 50%
So probably
Stealing this recipe for the winter time
I just finish making Texas koloches last week!
Oooooh they look yum
oh they were great breakfast that week!
oooh kolaches. There's a donut shop nearby that makes those and they're delicious
Me when pasta
i bet i could make a diabetes friendly version of this 😼
I never knew Quothy is a Baker
but... its amazing looking
Petition to turn WW thread into baking with quothy thread
sure
Please don't remove this thread its really special thread
Why would it get removed?
Idk
Cause the dev making it is gone 💔
It was genuinely one of the first newer things I was sad about them removing
Whats more likely to happen is that it would get archived
they also stopped developing the ww even before the layoffs
it was like right before the layoffs though
they were probably planning it for a while
