Nicknames are something I wanted to see done in Rec Room for a long time.
The general idea is; have a locally set option for each player to give them a secondary name, or ‘nickname’ to keep track of everyone on your friends list.
it’s important to keep close to friends of yours, but it’s easy to lose people in the sea of players you friend- sure, the Favorite button exists, but at the same time- unless you have a minimal amount of friends, you’re still going to have to dig and use process of elimination to find somebody especially after they change their name.
The idea for Nicknames is to be able to edit a locally set Double-Name to keep track of people; basically, if you could rename someone from ‘AngryCaterpillar’ to ‘Jake’ or ‘Guy I Met In An Event’ or something like that~ just a fun customizable way to remember people would be nice.
it’s easy to lose people in place of changing a username- and I think if you could do this with people on your friends list that would be great!
