Developer Update - 29 September 2022

Very excited to see the options on the site for organizing worlds and avatars, will have to think about how best to use the folders available.

For player moderations of show/hide avatar, I know from personal experience that often it is used to reset someone else’s avatar if it gets into an unexpected state from some bad sync or an animator issue. Never knew that it was hitting an API each time, I feel like a dedicated “reset avatar” button could have also been helpful, but removing the storage entirely will no doubt help more long term even if dropping functionality. (Maybe a way to migrate this list easily manually, a single file documented to copy over?)

This might be an inside baseball question, but also given the recent downtimes during the end of week peak, why does it seem that so many updates are landing on Fridays? Does the team work a different week that has them on Saturday and Sunday to address issues if they arise, or is this more just a case of open beta getting updates when they pass QA?

Would also be interested to know the % of users in the beta, I know my perspective is different since I usually jump on them right away.
