Release Notes 2011-09-21

September 21st Update: Bringing Back Disco

''This is basically a fixed September 16th update. Here's the release post again from that thread:''

This update unveils the first sneak peak at an exciting new Whirled activity: DJ-ing!

We've always had a system where players could add their music to other people's rooms, and DJ-ing is an enhancement of that. Now when you add a song, you become one of the room's DJs: DJs take turns playing through their song queue, and the rest of the room can rate their choices with a thumbs up or a thumbs down.

Rooms with a full house of DJs are promoted on the Rooms tab. Also, giving a song a thumbs up puts your avatar into its dance state. Being a DJ uses your avatar's "DJ" state if it has one (Creators: consider adding a DJ state to your avatars!). We'll be building a lot more DJ-ing and music integration with other parts of Whirled in the near future, watch this space...

'''For now, only Club Whirled members receive early access to being a DJ, but everyone can participate in rating. I'll roll this out to all players in the next couple of weeks.'''

Enjoy!
