How can we make Recess better?
Bring back Rocky's old voice
I don’t really like Rocky’s new voice, since it sounded like I was wlaking into a castle, while the old Rocky sounded much more welcoming.
Planned
trying items in the shop - village
when clicking items in the village shop should allow you to see how they will look in you're character even if you don't own it yet

Can the bot icon sleep?
The bot’s eyes keep moving, and it's distracting in a way that I haven't habituated to. I get that you want it to stand out from the other icons (though I'm not sure why), but can it at least be faded/sleeping by default, until I tap on it?
Rejected
Leagues
I would kind of small XP leagues that promote/demote each day. As well as Coins earned, Challenges completed, and likes received that are just like the normal XP leagues please!

Coin values
Thanks for mostly restoring the coin values, but the values of the coins on the challenges and store are still not quite right. I remember the exact previous values and I'm happy to tell you what they were. There are many 50-coin challenges that are now worth 100, and also lots of the profile rings that previously cost 50 coins and now cost 100. An additional point that I made before that I made before is that the coins of the todos should have some relation to the difficulty of the task. For example, an hour on Math Academy should make sense to give 100 coins, but a few minutes of scrolling through a discovery activity or watching a video should probably not be more than 20 coins.

Jobs
If you've been around for long, you must have known jobs. What happened to them? Can we have them back please?

Store/village rotating stuff i guess
Mason in his Multi-request thing mentioned sales, which i think is a good idea, but this is basically an expanded form of that. I PRESENT, THE STORE VILLAGE ROTATIGN SECTION THING-O OR SOMETHING I DONT KNOW WHY IS THIS NAME SO LONG It would be a section of the store where nothing is permanent. it will have a sales section, where say, one item is like 20% off and two others are 10% off. I feel like this could inspire kids to want to spend their coins more, by adding urgency to that thing they kind of want but werent sure if they should buy yet. There will also be the “rotation stock” section where there is stuff that will GO AWAY and not be purchasable. I like the idea of seasonal items, like the christmas or new years rings, but other stuff like the other holidays, and maybe even a monthly item? also maybe make a pool of like 10 random items that two are drawn from every once in a while to be added to this area and then go away to make way for two new ones. Maybe put that RA profile ring that costed 100,000 coins back on there very rarely (dont make it RA themed, im thinking like Diamond Mindustry Router Ring or smth) Ye i have probably more ideas but thats all ill say here

Just a few requests
Maybe we should have a trading system, where you pay a small fee to trade with people, then you can trade stickers, backgrounds, village items, and more, all within a 1 month of purchase. We should have a refund policy for store items, like maybe you don’t really like a profile ring/background, or an item from the village, you should be able to refund that within a few weeks/months. We also need a physical store building in the village, where all the items are displayed there, and there’s a mirror where you can try items on to see if you like them before you buy them, but if you can’t do that, then maybe in UI of the shop, when you click an item you character equips it, only for you, just so that you can see what you look like wearing it. Discounts on the recess store, every few weeks, a special event, or when something new is added to the shop, the can get a small discount.
Completed
I would love this.
So a while ago i made a post about notifications. they are easier to navigate. but i still can see how many i have. i also just got signed out. plz help!
For the Future
Project buttons
PI think it would be really cool if projects could have buttons and code to make them interactive. Projects are already a good way to share stuff you make, but being able to actually interact with them would make them way more useful. For example, you could make a game, quiz, calculator, interactive story, website, animation. ( someone could make a math quiz and then add a calculator) There could just be a button you can add to a project, and then you could choose what happens when someone clicks it. Eventually you could have actual code for more complicated stuff. It would basically let people make small interactive things directly inside Recess instead of just showing them. i think this would be especially cool for people who like coding because you could actually make something other people can use/play instead of just posting screenshots or a finished project. Some ideas for it: Add more parts than buttons, maybe add simple shapes that can be resized, text displays etc Maybe link them to sound effects (see post below) Add different buttons/switches, maybe a slider or something. Add UI Displays so people can make video games inside of recess, this would be really cool but probably excessive. The coding should probably be done manually so it doesn’t use up money to run an AI bot. And if someone wanted to vib code it they would just get their own AI. This might take a while to make and isn’t necessary so probably put it in cool idea, fix later.
For the Future
Project sound effects
Custom sound effects or songs that play when you get to certain parts of a project, maybe you can buy them in the shop, or upload them from a file. Or text to speech narration for projects. how it would be used: Someone writing a book could turn their project into an audio book. Someone showcasing something could add music or sound effects to make it more engaging. People who have hard time reading can listen to projects instead of reading them If someone wanted to upload their music it would be easier to upload it. If someone were making a comic they could also add narration and sound effects just like an audiobook.

For recess village-sloane
Can you add the ability to have/add your own backgrounds in recess village. Blurring the background only works 50%. I would like to completely hide my background. This is less important but could you make a feature where if you host a club and you have a house for said club you are able to build within said space. It would be nice to decorate your club room to make it different.
Planned
CHANGE THE DEFAULT CHANNEL NOTIFICATIONS TO REPLIES AND MENTIONS RIGHT NOW
I SERIOUSLY MAY LEAVE RECESS IF YOU DONT CHANGE THIS BECAUSE IT IS SO ANNOYING
Awaiting Response
Updating Your Schedule
you should be able to change your schedule, mark what you're doing at Community Hour, and add anything pertaining to recess to your schedule
Planned
Change notification settings for all chats in settings instead of having to manually do each one
I already did mine but I’m in so many chats so if I wanted to change it back I’d have to go back and set each one to all notifications or if I wanted to set it to no notifications I’d have to do that too
Planned
Markdown support
Make it so that you can use Markdown syntax for messages, as I want to be able to use bold and italic in my messages
Planned
(DnD button) ability to turn off notifications on the openschool app.
i want to have the choice to not be notified of people messaging whilst i’m doing my work because it is SO ANNOYING OH MY DOG- maybe also a specification in the option for toggling DM’s separately (and maybe group chat’s also separately from private one-on-one dm’s)
Planned
Village showcase halls for each project tag
we know projects will have tags eventually. and we know that Village has some nice features. The Idea: when a project gets some traction it confirms with the creator to add it to a showcase hall of that projects tag. some showcase hall examples are: "The Arcade” for “Game Dev” tagged projects, “The Museum” could have various segments for various “Art” as well as maybe “Engineering”, there could be “The Library” for “Book” or “Story” (?). yell at me in the feedback meeting if not understand

Aqquaintances (or smth)
i think it would be cool if there was like a half-friend status where you can still DM them but you dont get their last name (if thats still a thing), dont get notified when they join smth, and all the other friend things. Maybe once you send them 10 messages you would get a popup thats like “You’ve been talking to [Person L.] a lot, do you want to Friend Request them?” and theres always a large button on the right that you can click to request them too.
