My Little Monsters BTS
Take a look at the new tools used to make My Little Monsters and learn how to use them in your very own rooms too!
We use RRO's to create and test new tools, then try them out in real games to show off what they can do for Rec Room creators. My Little Monsters was made entirely in Rooms 2.0, so we had tons of cool features to try. Take a peek at this video or read on below to see exactly how we put these exclusive tools to work in action!
Rooms 2.0My Little Monsters was entirely created in Rooms 2.0. Without it's exclusive tools, a lot of the functionality in the game would not have been possible.Check out the Rooms 2.0 Hub!
ReplicatorThe Replicator is a brand new tool for Rooms 2.0 that allows creators to easily create copies of that object! We used the replicator for several things, including harvesting tools, decorations and toys, and the Monsters themselves.
