[h2]^Orientation[/h2]
For users who are just coming to Rec Room for the first time, we've added a quick and delightful introductory tour of the Rec Room Campus. This is our chance to showcase the things we all love most about Rec Room -- our community values, our exciting games, and the enormous and growing library of user-created content to explore!

[*]All new users go through Orientation as their first in-game experience.
[*]If you're an existing user who just wants to check out Orientation, it's just another room you can visit any time you'd like. You can find it by searching for ^Orientation in your Play Menu.

[h2]Dodgeball Improvements[/h2]
We've improved the dodgeball throwing experience for screen players. They will now stand a better chance playing against VR players (but not too OP!)
[list]
[*]You can now aim your throw more accurately on screens with the help of a visible reticle.
[*]The dodgeball trajectory is now more predictable and powerful on screen with fine-tuned animations and launching speed.
[*]Charging your throw will now have no impact on the dodgeball's launch speed. It merely allows you to hold it.

A bright green backdrop to help with video production!
[list]
[*]Find it in the Palette under the Creative tab
[*]It can be scaled non-uniformly, and has configurable physics modes
