The account is shared across every demo in the showroom, so items and currency you get in one demo carry over to the others. Loading takes a moment. If the frame is too small, open the demo in a new tab. ## Overview Edit your own profile, look up another player by their player id, and send them a friend request or follow them. Once they accept, each of you appears under **Your friends**; players you follow appear under **Players you follow**. A profile has three parts: a name everyone sees, text only friends see, and text only followers see. ## How to try it 1. Under **You**, fill in **Your profile**: a name everyone sees, text for your friends, and text for your followers. Then press **Save your profile**. 1. Open this demo in another browser (or a private window) for a second player, and press **Copy your id** in one of them. 1. In the other browser, paste the id under **Find a player by their id** (**Paste an id**), press **Look them up**, then press **Send a friend request** or **Follow**. 1. The receiving player sees the sender's name under **Friend requests to you** and presses **Accept** or **Decline**. The sender sees it under **Friend requests you sent** and can press **Cancel**. 1. After accepting, both players see each other's name and friend text under **Your friends**, with **Remove** to end the friendship. A followed player appears under **Players you follow** with their follower text, and **Unfollow** ends the follow. Profile edits are not announced, so a name the other player changed shows in your lists only once they are read again (at most 15 minutes, or on reload). ## GS2 services used - [GS2-Friend](/microservices/friend/): GS2-Friend holds the profile (public, friend-only and follower-only parts), the friend and follow lists, and the friend requests in each direction. Receiving, accepting, rejecting and cancelling a request, and removing a friend, are pushed to the other player as notifications, so their page updates right away. ## Use it in GS2 Studio In GS2 Studio's Simple mode, open **Add features** and press **Add** on **Friends & Profile** to bring this feature into your own project.
