It’s unoptimized and basically broken

#

New bean is the fix

Yh new bean is a cash grab though to make people buy ugcs so game gets interest from investors, also why u think they would put it out sk fast and ignore community they were just complaining about money so this is them just making the game cash grab

They already made a full post about them not having enough money and then they talking about forcing new bean and “split test”

#

“Split test” code word for get more money asap

tardy bloom
#

I’m not gonna talk anymore y’all won’t listen you’ll just keep believing yelling a hashtag will do anything

#

Sorry man but old bean is gone, if you don’t like it there are other games to play

I was fine on old bodies.

tardy bloom
#

Think like… memory leaks and shit

tribal raptor
#

im about to start a whole revolution cause of that.

uncut venture
#

Let’s be honest the game is kinda wack now too then

tribal raptor
#

yup.

uncut venture
#

Changing the bean bodies isn’t gonna change the game entirely

tardy bloom
#

New bean aims to fix those old issues with fresh code

uncut venture
#

It’s almost pointless

uncut venture
#

Like the hacker issue

tardy bloom
#

It won’t fix rec room all together but it’s a step

uncut venture
#

Or get a new engine?

tardy bloom
# uncut venture Like the hacker issue

Referee is their solution, they’re still tweaking it to be better than EAC was, and it allows them to release security stuff and all that sooner than they could using EAC

tribal raptor
#

removing bean V1 is going to be FATAL mistake for rec room.

uncut venture
#

So keeping the bodies optional made the game code worse?

Idk man ima try this out. I’m a RecRoom wrestler like I said before so idk how this new body would look

The creator forum posts talk about them much better than I can, I recommend checking those out if you have the time

Right now they’re focusing on trying to pull out of their poor financial state while making as many improvements to the game as they can

tribal raptor
#

getting rid of bean V1 isn't really an improvement tbh in my opinion.

#

I recommend joining Research Lab if you haven’t yet, they’ll email you surveys that you can do to input your opinions on new stuff as well as changes to existing features

CookieLyne also said yesterday there was a cost to maintain it in a functionnal state along with new bean and FBA (apparently old bean has been breaking a lot). So costs saving is another reason.

# upbeat zenith why

Technical and development purposes. I'm not a game developer nor do I work for Rec Room but I'd imagine a big motivating factor was ease of future development. Moving bean to the same systems that FBA uses unifies the two body types on a tenchinal level and I would imagine that makes it easier to work with

#

Also classic bean is just an old system, and mataining that system on top off all the new avatar stuff they have been doing isnt really sustainable

hazy hazel
#

There’s a reason why

languid summit
#

I wish Rec Room would get more into the technical aspects of this sort of thing publicly because I think it'd answer a lot of people's questions

#

I also think the rollout of new bean wasn't played as well as it could've been but it's kind of whatever at this point

#

Once more fixes come out regarding the animations it'll be in a good spot (or maybe once those fixes in the blog post drop because it's kinda hard to gauge how effective they'll be through a low framerate gif)

languid summit
#

Old bean wasn't the worst optimized thing in the world ofc but it wasn't exactly as performant as it could be and it wasn't built with the lower-end platforms in mind

#

(And by lower-end I mean Quest primarily)

#

And it kinda comes back to technical because I'd imagine optimizing the bean avatar would've been a really huge task if they stuck with the old system

#

It's a huge task either way but in the long-term it's the better choice to take the time to update it to the new system and do a full rework than to attempt to patch up a near decade-old avatar system that likely had large technical issues that aren't player-facing

pine sigil
#

They’re doing this because it’s a complicated way of saying “We care about your money, not your feelings”

#

Actually, no

#

It’s another way of saying “F*&# you! Give us money”

hazy hazel
#

For years because somehow people still haven’t caught on that’s it’s been more like that

#

Money reasons aside, RR already explained why they remade the bean and they had really valid reasons to do so.

The whole game is in a bad shape optimizations wise. The new avatars and Rooms 2.0 are them trying to fix the game by making more robust foundations to make the game run better. (Eventually anyways, because R2.0 isn't really there yet)

#

It has been explained over and over.

wooden siren
#

If they fix the face tho like make it look like the old avatars it'll be way better

vague trail
#

They are making new bean more like old bean when they can just keep old bean 😭

brazen spade
#

Why not keep the old bean in the first place, yes we understand it may be ‘unoptimized’ however with keeping it you also keep a large portion of your player base, just rerelease old content that could attract even old players back into Rec Room, I don’t personally give a shit about the new bean but I respect the reason why they’re doing it, either way the point still remains of just keeping it, and do keep this mind.

It could just be me (because I am a LITTLE biased) but when the new bean is fully out and it starts to cause problems, like how everyone is claiming the old bean is, then it’s just a cycle of stupidity that everyone is following

pallid thicket
#

I feel like eventually they’re going to move everybody from the new Bean to full body. We shouldn’t give them an inch because soon everybody will be using full body.

brazen spade
#

in all fairness Syrus brings up a good point, why remove the old bean just so they can make the new bean feel ‘familiar’

vague trail
brazen spade
#

Moral of the story is: just keep Old Bean, as people may see it ‘unoptimized’ but you will still keep your player base

vague trail
#

They wanna upgrade the game but are doing stuff that make people not wanna play it

#

The game already is in a terrible state now they are actually making people leave

brazen spade
#

money may be tight which is understandable, but if you have a community that loves the game bc it’s nice the way it is (before enforcing new bean) then why change it at all

wooden siren
#

Exactly the game is dead I asked half the people they said they were gonna quit after the update releases RR is just ducking about a lot of players wanting to play it with new avatars

brazen spade
#

Greed is one powerful sin for most people

wooden siren
#

The new avatars make you look like shi I tried to use it I can't bro😭

brazen spade
#

Keep what ima say next in mind

vague trail
#

Bruh

#

Can't say that word 😔

brazen spade
#

How much do you wanna bet that the minute that new bean becomes popular and everything, it’s gonna get a shit ton of back lash more than it’s already getting

vague trail
#

At least Deimos knows

brazen spade
#

either way, if they change their minds beforehand by listening to their community which I doubt will happen

#

we might have hope

vague trail
#

They have two options

wooden siren
#

They say it's permanent but rr won't have any choice to bring back old bean if players leave

vague trail
#

Change their mind and listen to the community or go through with it and kill their already dying game

brazen spade
#

Fuck it

#

I’m making a petition

wooden siren
#

Once they see how much people leave

vague trail
#

It's like they are holding a gun to the game and the next update is them pulling the trigger

#

Watch them be like "Why did no say anything? We would have kept it."

wooden siren
#

Plus this is where they originally formed from why would they want to get rid of something that was used in 2017-2025

#

It's a bunch of bs rr is shit but the old avatars aren't doing shi to the game RR just wants to piss people off and try to make more money

Enough is enough can we all agree they’re just removing it for a good reason I understand maybe People still cares about the old bean and I’m so tired of people doing #KeepOldBean & #KeepClassicBean can we shut up about it because it’s been like two days about this announcement and like I’m not trying to be that guy but the people who still use the old been it’s time to move on I know a lot of stuff is changing in rec room I know for a fact a lot of avatars are changing but you know life move on and we have a deal with it I’m not trying to be saying you should switch to UBA but listen I know so many people who use costumes, making cool outfits, or making on outfits for their entertainment we don’t need all this fighting over which one is better we’re all in the same community and we should appreciate what is rec room doing for us I understand so many of my friends who don’t like the new upgrading bean avatar I completely understand I know it’s hard to get used of new change we have to deal with FBA and look how it leads us to know some people still like full body and some people still don’t but we still give it a chance and I know for a fact that UBA can maybe get the same cans at the FBA I don’t want people fighting over the stupid argument about rec room is dying and all this can we all agree rec room try their best and what they can do please I’m just asking 🧡 CheerHelpful recroom

And hey, never said I don't use full body either

tranquil marsh
#

Well not like the old bean has improved anything in the past years

vague trail
#

Old bean is the better version

#

So it's definitely not improved

pine sigil

#

Old bean is quite literally the improved version of classic bean

tranquil marsh

And new bean is a down grade

there are still glitches in the quest that have been there since 2018

Not in looks, but they have tried fixing some stuff with it

def not the hackers in the game

Well if you don't want them to take you money.. don't give them your money?

It could have been starting to break during the times they've been adding more features for avatars such as ears for example

It probably started when FBA came out

tranquil marsh
#

I'm only taking a guess at what could have been happening

tranquil marsh
vague trail
#

FBA

tranquil marsh
#

An old code not meant for new features can break

vague trail
#

That's when they started adding the weird shit

tranquil marsh
#

Only a guess though since we don't truely know everything internally

Because, well, we're not devs

#

i just dont see why they couldnt have kept it as a feature, i know it was breaking alot, but let it break, i feel like that’d be better then just out right removing it

# ocean rapids ur actually kinda peak icl

Only trying to state my opinion on things

Ok look, I get not wanting the old bean to go but clearly no matter what it's going away

But I do wish they can make the new bean feel closer to the old bean if anything

#

New been avatar is looking like a skinwalker fr

azure light
#

If it was the code that was breaking the game I don't get why they don't transfer the old bean design over to a more stable code

tranquil marsh
#

I get not liking the bean bend or the avatar features (eyes mouth position and body proportions) not translating that greatly from the old bean to the new bean

ocean rapids
#

calling u peak

#

its like ur cool

azure light
#

Because it's not completely about looks, it's mainly about how the new one moves which for a lot of communities will make things harder

tranquil marsh
#

But I do think new bean is somewhat of an improvement, at least to me.
There are features I've wanted on it for a while such as glove pointing or grabbing animations

azure light
#

To me those are unnecessary, I don't need more realistic features like the grabbing animations in a game like rec room

tranquil marsh
#

But hey, would be cool if the bean could perhaps not bend that much for the old bean enjoyers, if anything, a toggle for it

vague trail
#

Can we all just take a step back and think about how this is a cartoon kids game?

#

We don't need realistic features 😭

#

I'm guessing from the feedback to this update that it's not a small minority of people who prefer the old bean, and rec room probably know this. So I'm still just confused at why they didn't port the old design with the same movements on to a new code so it's stable

vague trail
#

Long ah paragraph

tranquil marsh
#

But would've been cool if it did feel accurate to the models

#

It honestly feels slightly off to me and I'm not sure what it is

Ngl I would be fine if I could flip with New bean

I want the same freedom of movement as we have on old bean

To be completely honest I do not care about expression as much as enthusiasts do

azure light
#

I'm not going to make everything seem worse, I'm not quitting this game because of this. But it is going to make what I mainly do on it a lot harder

dusky trench
#

I just wanna have a nice avatar that I like the art style of and play my favorite games with it

#

At this point they're gonna revamp the entire game because of the code even though they can just figure it out

#

Wasted dev time. Because you laid off 16%

#

If they had the devs actually work then yes there would be stuff

#

No all I seen was just some devs messing stuff up

azure light
dusky trench
#

It really does

vague trail
#

They fired alot of staff then complain about wasted dev time 🥀

dusky trench
#

My vision is making new bean for ugc only so they can make a quick buck off of it

#

They're not passionate about it anymore

#

They keep trying these things instead of having common sense like animal company

azure light
#

How can game companies move games between whole engines but rec room rather than taking the easy fix of porting an avatar to a new code they make not one but two whole new avatars
