Idk if this is mentioned yet, but it is of monstrous importance to me (and hopefully others):

I support the idea of the middle door thing, but NREALITY PROPS STAY WITH NREALITY AND THAT SHOULD BE FINAL.

Um, aren't columns 80-99 user created? Hopefully they'll add more, but still.
Also, I agree with Hero in that Nreality should stay as Nreality. As good as Nreality is, it is a different thing to N. I do think that M&R should release the source code so that Unreality can continue to make improvements. ^_^

so, i know that this is just for the preliminary things (and in relation to that: against cutting out the randomness of chains and seekers, i love it), but the one and only thing I really really want is one ways that go one diagonals the same way that the 1 tiles go and the 6/2 3/7 tiles go. if that makes sense. I don't know how possible it is, but it's just about the only thing extra I want. It opens up a bunch of possibilities. So yeah, my say.

This is doubly awesome news, and I'm very excited. It's been a while since we've heard about 1.5.

All I need is: Custom episode editor. I should be able to edit how many maps there are in one episode, and the length of the ninja's lifespan at the beginning of each level/episode. Also helpful would be a lifespan bar in the map editor so people know how much gold to put in a level.

I wouldn't be so episodic-centric if not for the mappack I'm making now. :/

Hello to all! I'm a new user; I'm not english so I can't speak very good.
There are several things I want to see in N 1.5:
1) The ability to create episodes, as mentioned above.
2) An easy access to a simplified NED: it's not bad.
3) More and more secrets!
4) Ability to change headband colours.

That's all!
Have a good day!

I totally agree. There should be secret episodes that can only be unlocked by completing odd achievements in the ordinary levels, like "Complete Motherlode Without Walljumping" or something. That would be cool.

"Achievements" is another good idea. And you can access to Episode X only if you have that achievement or "5 or more" achievements...
Come on guys, make this the best N!

What makes it user-unfriendly now? It's one of the most efficient and easy to use map editors in any game I know of.

I agree. And all this "achievement" and other fancy stuff seems a little iffy to me. N is so good as it is; why not just fix the few problems with it instead of adding all this stuff?



And yeah, I meant the ability to create your own episodes. It would totally revolutionize mappacks.

of course it /is/ efficient, but only once you got the hang of it. particularly the fact the editor isn't mentioned in the main menu bugs me, 2 of my friends who also started playing N didn't even know there was a possibility to create own maps until I told them. :/

I think he means adding doors in the middle of a grid box, instead of just on the boarders of one. In terms of new columns, I think SUNSHINEscience would be a good addition, as it feels Mare&Raigan - esque with an atob sheen. But with the (proposed) implementation of user episodes, this may be unnecessary.
Oh, hey, if v1.5 is gonna have new userlevels and stuff we totally need to vote on that sometime.

I think that the editor should be able to save and load levels without needing to copy any text, but you should be able to go into the text file and copy them anyway so you can put them on NUMA. Oh, and being able to upload maps to NUMA through N would be really cool. And play them too, like in Nreality.

Idiocy aside:

I think achievements would be a waste of time (like they are in, you know, every game. besides achievement unlocked, a parody of the achievement system), especially when all we really need is a few tweaks and more levels. More secrets would be good, more unlockables, but not "oh yay I got killed by my 12738951st chaingun drone, sweet!" because THAT IS USELESS.
