Scrapped Feature: Icon Nametags

Added 2025-11-19 17:00:07 +0000 UTC

Here's something new I'm gonna try- This is a scrapped feature! I could never figure out a way to get this working in-game, but I figured it would still be interesting to share the process!

I considered giving the character nametags special fonts (Kinda like what Danganronpa V3 does with its weird little nametags) but I couldn't quite figure out how to change just the name box font, so I had to go back to the drawing board there.

I tried what you see here- Each letter is a separate icon (Like the icons for items or gear you'd see in the menus) and the name box is rendering each icon separately to form its words.

I'm sure you can see the problem- it's just too big!! This would be way too distracting and makes the text boxes take up too much space on the screen.

Eventually I scrapped this in favor of the portrait background boxes, which I think was the right choice to make!

But yeah, I hope you guys find this interesting!! I've got plenty more scrapped features to share haha, so you might see more stuff like this in the future!

-F.P.
