        - Has a fancy animation with a 3D box that opens to your reward.

- You can press space to skip the animation. (If you have no joy)

Ticket Machine

| Inv attached a Ticket Bar to the bottom of the vending machine as a way for you to receive tickets |

- To open the menu Hold : Right Click : on the backpack, then release over the console you want.

Playrooms

Console Menu Redesign

| Some time away made Inv realize the Console Menu could be a lot better, so they got to tinkering |

        -The Console Menu has been drastically improved both visually and functionally.

- Skins now drop down while instances display in a row above.

        -You can now switch skins on different instances more fluidly.

- Hover over the Console that you want to change the skin of before choosing your skin.

{ This will be improved in the future and taken off of Hover }

- You can press the button in the bottom left of the menu to quickly open and close the menu.

- Remember to drag the edge of the Console Menu to resize it to your needs!

: More features will be added to this menu. (and others) :

- You can now Resize the Backpack Menu from the top left, as well as Inv's tag like before.
