If anyone has a good idea about a feature that they want in Nv1.5, post it here. I'll start by saying that I would like to have speedrun, underclock and overclock 20 in v1.5.

The ability to incorperate love and dreams into maps, thanks to a new and improved editor.

I totally just read that as, "I'd hate to be the only black guy stuck using v1.4."

I was kinda being serious here, so M&R could have some suggestions. Here is a great list of ideas.

Hendor wrote:Great to hear from you guys here; it's a nice surprise. I've been thinking about this, and here are some things I'd love to see happen for v1.5:

1) You talk to Unreality. I'd hate to see all the work he's put into Nreality go to waste, when most of the things he's implemented would otherwise deserve separate mention on my list (speedhack detection, NUMA integration with highscore support and a web-based top scorers list) Perhaps you could hire(?) him on a contract basis to work with you. After all, he has already coded all of that.

2) More policing of the highscore boards for hacked and cheated runs. In their current state, most of the early episodes are literally unscorable. I know you did manually delete scores a couple times, which was great, but perhaps you could enlist a trusted highscorer to do this for you. I can think of at least 10 people who would gladly volunteer for this.

3) NUMA/forum based achievements. It would be great to have little badges appear on your NUMA or forum profile that say "completed half of N columns", "created 50th map", or "highscored 100th level". Not a big deal, but it's just a flashy feature that might help grab new players.

Things I would be bummed about:

1) Any changes to the game's fundamental physics. I think everyone would be put off if the controls don't respond they way they did in 1.4. Most of us have gotten quite used to the controls as they are, and I would be disappointed if any of the quirks like corner jumps, bounceblock double/triple jumps and slope stuttering that exist now did not in the future. This doesn't apply to new tiles or units though, I'd welcome them, as long as they weren't too ridiculous.

Thanks so much for asking our opinions.

Custom Episodes and, why not, custom columns.

This is the only big feature; other ones are little secrets and such things.

There's already a thread for this, and that one links to several more that M&R set up /themselves/ for just this purpose. ',:/
