We’re back in normal development starting this week. @Joshua worked on some upcoming holiday items. @macdguy fixed some bugs relating to leaving vehicles. He also updated the VR bindings for Oculus and Vive, which should hopefully fix Oculus controllers. @Nuclearxpotato continued working on the Minigolf map, Dino Drive. @Sketchman worked on fixing bugs released in the patch last week. @Wheezwer finished the December calendar and started the new contests. @Will continued working on the 1.0 trailer music. ## That’s a Wrap!

The dress moves…THE DRESS MOVES! I know it’s common in other games, you guys really out done yourself! And Yes! Laundry Machines! Another off the check list not using workshop item for something more generic stuff! The shooting gallery looks fun! Can’t for the ice scream if only it means the Plaza feels complete! ---

O\_\_\_\_O THIS LOOKS SO GOOD!!! i’m looking forward to this!!! OHHHH THIS LOOKS SO GOOD excellent work on fake exteriors as always, they look great! shooting gallery looks absolutely fun too!! 🙂 also last thing- i am saying this with all of sincerity from my heart- amazing job on the skirt physics- i mean that. i worked with skirt physics for VRChat in the past and it is **absolute nightmare** to work with. lol my only concern is impact on performance if everyone wore dress/skirt with physics on; would it be client sided on your character for your screen only? or will there be setting toggles? also super excited about new house items i NEED all of them so bad!!! ---

Love how the new playermodel outfits are coming along - Hoping we can wear any clothing sets regardless of which of the two you use.
