Feature Request: Custom Room Rich Presence
For a while now I feel like the Player Status for rooms has been pretty boring and basic. I think Creators should be able to customize their “Room Rich Presence” kinda like how Discord apps do it!
How it would work: Add a new chip called Local Player Set Room Presence
that lets Creators dynamically change what shows up on a player’s status. This way we could display actually useful info about what’s happening in the game instead of just “Playing [Room Name]”.
Some examples of what this could show:
Battle Royale/Last Man Standing:
-
“In Match - 12 players left”
-
“Spectating - Final 3”
Racing/Timed stuff:
-
“Racing - Lap 2/3”
-
“Survived for 15:42”
Lobbies:
-
“In Lobby - 4/8 players”
-
“Picking a loadout”
Story/Quest rooms:
-
“Act 2”
-
“Slaying some goblins!”
Why this would be cool:
-
Your friends can actually see what you’re doing and know if they should join
-
Makes rooms feel way more alive when you can see real activity
-
Creators can show off the exciting parts of their rooms
-
Just overall makes the social aspect better
Stuff to consider:
-
Probably need some rate limiting so people don’t spam updates
-
Maybe a character limit? Like 100 characters max
-
Could have some preset templates for common things
Let me know what you think!
