Time-Bounded Announcements
Time-bounded announcements on guest and kiosk surfaces
Hosts can now post a message that shows up on guest links and kiosks for exactly the window that matters — a maintenance notice, a pool closure, a welcome note — then disappears on its own.
Some information isn't part of a world's permanent knowledge — it's true for a day, or a weekend, and then it isn't. Until now, a host's only options were to edit the world itself or mention it in person.
What shipped
Announcements are short, host-authored messages that surface on guest and kiosk screens, with three simple controls:
- A time window. An optional
start_at/end_atpair means an announcement can appear automatically and retire itself — no host has to remember to take it down. - Priority ordering. Multiple active announcements sort by priority, so the most important one leads.
- A simple on/off switch.
enabledlets a host pull an announcement instantly without deleting it.
Why this, separate from the world itself
A world's knowledge should stay accurate and durable — the kind of thing worth getting right once. Announcements are the opposite: disposable, time-boxed, and meant to disappear. Keeping them as their own layer means neither one has to compromise for the other.
