Remote Repair & Post-Marshallthon 2021
The Marshallthon 2021 was a bigger success than we ever expected! 4.6k dollars collected for The Trevor Project charity!
With the Marshallthon over, the promotional material has been taken down. As several VRChat communities buzz with excitement for the upcoming SlyFest music festival a series of promoters came in and provided us with some marketing material to bring a bit of SlyFest to our dancing venue.
Furthermore, the janitor finally cleaned up the "hottub" that had been filled with foul liquids, the heretic who peed in the "hottub" was never found...
- @Chatmans took down Marshallthon posters, added note with how much we collected, added slyfest promotional material, added community artwork by @MR.Switch, and much more
- @Chatmans deflated the "hottub" and cleaned up our remaining stock of VRDancing bathwater.
- Added keybind for remote repairing to VR controllers, **pull down the joystick you use for looking to repair remotely** (controller will vibrate to confirm), thanks for the suggestion @Zaccke!
- The force repair function now also works for staff so a camera account that is part of staff can still be repaired.
- Added countdowns for the movie nights in the event panel.
- Updated shader versions.
- Disabled all Marshallthon functionality.

Sync Offset & QoL Settings
In our continued effort to allow dancers from across the world to dance together on our intercontinental dancefloor we have installed (patent pending) timetravel machinery that allows dancers to synchronise their moves with people on the other side of the globe!
- Completely reworked the backend for switching dancefloors & enabling/disabling global props. Now takes full advantage of the udon networking update so its faster, performs better and more secure.

v1.2.0
Dance Poles & VideoPlayer Improvements
As we attempt to pay rent for our exquisite building we are looking into more exotic monetisation options. To kill two birds with one stone we started bottling our VRDancing bathwater. This gets rid of the safety hazard that the hot tub upstairs caused and simultaneously we can sell the bathwater to pay for our rent (and our overpriced PikA-SEC systems). Market research has shown that there is a group of desperate individuals yearning for VR Dancer bathwater so we expect this to be great success.
Furthermore, to expand the reach of our services we installed dancing poles! We have also ordered some pillows and plushies after reports of people falling asleep on the couches, those sleepovers will now be a little bit more comfy.
Finally, a small warning, there may still be a bit of blood upstairs that the janitor forgot to clean up, a wild panda was sighted in our club and chaos ensued.
- Updated videoplayer to new version, its a little bit more stable, videos seem to load quicker.
- Added dance poles, they automatically get enabled when a video that requires a pole is being played.
- Person who played the video can now repair (this would not work at first), but it does restart the video so keep that in mind.
- Added countdown for the NA Session
- Added pillows and plushies to the couch.
- Upscaled the cypher a little bit for dancers with larger avatars.
- Improved countdowns, now display when the session in progress and correctly switch to next session timer when the current session is over.
- Improved title display on TVs.
- Updated patreon bench.
- Fixed some mistakes in option menu explanation text.
- Fixed a bug where UI's would not work while on the dancefloor.
- Security improvements (more to come in next update).
- Performance improvements.
- Updated DB.
v1.1.1
Really small update this week as I'm continuing to work on using a new and updated videoplayer, just still need to make some of my systems compatible with it.
- Updated DB, now at 4462 entries! Thanks to @Chatmans for adding all new videos for our tracked channels.
- Removed lots of dead links, thank you @Natsumi for pointing these out!
v1.1.0
AudioLink
Now that the VRDancing building became open to the public, we were required to make some safety precautions after reports of suspicious activity. Luckily, PikA-SEC offered us quality service and security systems were installed throughout the building. With our new state-of-the-art monitoring system we can be sure that any lewd activities can be dealt with in an efficient manner and that our wholesomeness can be safeguarded.
Unfortunately these required measures caused some delays in unpacking all of our equipment upstairs. The moving boxes have yet to be opened and the water in the kiddie pool hot tub has yet to be changed since our grand opening. For your own safety please refrain from entering the hot tub, it contains dangerously high concentrations of dancer sweat. Warnings have been placed around the hot tub, this situation will be resolved at a later date.
- Added AudioLink support!
- Added a security camera system behind the desk.
- Added access control to the database to prevent trolls from playing videos, accessible by instance master and VRDancing staff.
- Database is now only accessible to VR users by default.
- Made the world more streamer-proof. It is now impossible to get occlusion glitches in the dancefloor mirror that can render people naked.
- Added a panel that warns people that *Recording Mode* needs to be enabled when they set up their camera behind the dancefloor mirror.
- Added an option in the settings to (partially) disable AudioLink.
- Added an option in the settings to make physical buttons clickable instead of using colliders.
- Updated VRC SDK and UdonSharp versions, the new updates should improve overall performance.
- @Chatmans improved the desk area!
- @Chatmans added security cameras throughout the world.
