addedSlim, Starfighter, Omni's, Holo'sThere's 2 new arcade cabinets for housing games, and 3 new hologram/blend/sprite cabinets for housing images. The interesting thing about the Hologram & Blends are that they use black as the alpha channel, so it looks great even on images without their own transparency! Special thanks to OkeDoke for contributing the Starfighter cabinet!

addedPhysics (ie. rage mode)There's a new button in the Object Context Menu, and also in the Commands tab, that temporarily toggles physics on objects in your arcade. Feel free to wreck your arcades like a rock star in a hotel room! Because when you reload the map, they are back in their original positions. Party on!

addedScaled To FitYou can now stand on scaled objects and click on them just as well as you can regular objects! So feel free to scale those tablets to fit right into the perfect space. :ily:

addedWizards, Ani!There were 4 requests for new wizards for various users' favorite sites, so today's update includes 4 new wizards! Soundcloud, Vesta, Itch.io's HTML5 games section, and DC Online are now all spawnable from wizards. In addition to that, community member Mexc has contributed a new kind of wizard in today's update that takes all of the playlists on a YouTube channel profile and puts them in their own favorites list inside of AArcade! To help keep users informed of how to use wizards, and what to expect from each one, I have started a Trello card that will detail each one. It can be found here: https://trello.com/c/T7U9915u/1997-wizards-working-broken-list

addedMirror EverythingIf you hold down TAB and go to the Commands tab, you'll find a new button called Mirror Everything. Pressing this temporarily turns *every single screen in your arcade* into a video mirror for some truely insane video watching. Give it a try! And just click the button again to turn it off. :)

Steam Invites

When you are in a multiplayer session, your friends will now be able to join you through Steam Friends! The old invite links and regular Servers menu still work also.

MP3 Auto-Playlist

When you spawn local MP3's onto the wall, they will now automatically play after you select them! Also, the other MP3 files in the same folder automatically play in a sequence too!

Refresh Textures

This is more of an advanced feature, but there's now various ways to refresh your textures in-game! There's a Refresh Textures button on the Object Context Menu and if you click it once, it does a quick game-texture refresh. Alternatively, if you click & hold on it, it'll clear your cache and re-download the image from the original source! And if all else fails, there's a new console command called reset_image_loader that will reboot just the image loader without having to re-load the map. More stability & improvements to come! That's the main stuff for this update! I'm still working on getting the VR build stable & into your hands, so stay tunned for news on when I squash the remaining bugs there. Until then, I'll see you guys in the metaverse!
