Post your unreasonable requests and far-fetched ideas in here please.

Current dreamy features I am already considering:

• play around with turn speed based on attack, doors, empty area, etc.
• tool-tip when you mouse-over glyphs
• map painter - faster debugging, design discussion
• splitter enemy - spawns 3 weaker nearby
• slow enemy - moves every 2nd turn (self stun?)
• mutator - transforms adjacent (how?)
• duplicator - a spawner that spawns spawners
•  diagonal turner - moves diagonally
• ai trail - leave breadcrumbs behind player to enable consistent kiting
•  save full replay - I would basically need the initial PRNG seed and a list of the moves the player made (up, down, left, right), the logic-engine can iterate to any desired turn, it's that fast

That's a very interresting game, but it gets difficult to understand what is going on very quick. Maybe is it more interresting that good now? (Ending was easier to get)

•  A way to get a description of the different traits would be nice (what it does, what it looks like)
• Limited undo ? (as proposed above)
• Some crazyness : when a level is created over an old one, all previous objects are still there, but with added traits.
   

• Stake : if one trains element touches it, it gets stuck
• Backward : when something hits it, everything, except that thing, goes one step back in time (and objects resurect)

Tool tips when you mouse-over an element are on the to-do list.

Not keen on variable undo. Undo is a bad reward. It's the wrong message - for being good at something you are treated like you are bad at it. If you carry on being good then the undos are worthless. Undo is for learning. I will likely add the option to turn it off, but definitely not a mechanic to get it back.

Levels are never generated on top of each other because the code requires to the rooms to be separate for a lot of mechanics to work. Duplicating a room as part of a level progression might be an idea though.

There are no trains - they are implicit due to the HOOK passive (press P to open the editor during a game). There is only a single layer of data, no floor, no sky. This rules out a lot of cool things like jumping over stuff and pressure pads. Maybe something could take away passive abilities like HOOK and WALL - but it would be very boring with no passive abilities around. Or maybe it could trade them - unsure what would be good. Ideally I'd like to be able to do an ally and enemy version, unlike the scroll tile which doesn't really work for enemies.

The level state doesn't keep a record of previous turns (the undo stack is just a pile of level states). So time travel isn't possible. The level data is simple and clean and must stay that way. If we had an enemy that changes state over time, then we could target that property. That's probably something that needs to be made - an element that switches behaviours.

Ah right.
Ok,  some unreasonable suggestion : "conversion". That ability would convert the objet it touches to its color (from bleu to orange, and vice-versa)

"Generic conversion" : conversion given to a grey object, it would swap from to bleu to orange, and orange to bleu.

Bullets
I love  bullets ! The problem though, is that they tend to die very quick...
A bullet launcher would be great !
There could be a variety of them, based on their shooting frequency (1, 2, 3, 4 turns), and directions  (1, 2, 3 or 4 directions).

Room connections
Maybe could the connections between rooms have more variety : In ending it was a wall with one opening only. Right now in Unending it is a fully opened wall.
But we could  have different styles of connections :

• now wall (unending style)
• 1 one small opening (endind style)
• A large opening
• doted line (wall-empty-wall-empty...)

Giving purpose
Very quick, (for example after reaching level 25), I feel a lack of purpose. Ending was great at making you wish to reach level 8.
I don't know what you make the player wish to keep playing (and staying faithfull to the name "Unending"). Maybe through counting (a displaying on a screen) the number of creature combinations the player has met, or interracted with (bumped into, pushed, switched placed or killed).

When the player reaches increasinlgy larges numbers of different creatures, he could be rewarded with something (a random text ?).

And it would turn the player into a hunter. (I want to catch that bullet ! I want to make that encased explosive and  hooked arrow multiplayer explode...)

There is already a bullet launcher - the spawner-bullet. I don't want to make new elements that repeat what's already there. This gives me an idea for a cluster bullet however - like the cluster-turner.

I have already considered other exit types - they could be shielded. They could be ally-doors that have to be released by scroll blocks or fighting. I am considering a key-passive for the puzzle mode (you must kill all key enemies to unlock the door). The key might be a good addition to endless.

The endless mode is not finished and neither is the game. The progression is a ramp upwards - whereas desirable progression should be like a sine wave. Developing an algorithm for this is very complicated and takes a long time. I have no intention of letting one finish the endless - you can finish ending, this experience already exists and does not need repeating. I am however considering achievements that one can search for, or quests. It's important to investigate a game experience that has no win state. I understand that a lot of people will be angry or upset that they cannot achieve closure. The point is to keep researching mechanics and play to find a space where a win condition does not need to exist. I don't expect this to be easy or quick to resolve.

I have just tried the PC-Alpha version. I love the evolution !

But now, I wish even more than before to have a bestiary... (record the "creatures" I have interracted with). I could include a nice metaplay !

• Knowing how many different creature you have interracted with in your sessions (and maybe keep that number as an highscore)
• Carry on that bestiary from one game to another. (It would be even more fun if the player could name those creatures. And even share the names with a server. But I might go too far there ... ;-) )
• Get missions such as finding a specific creature. The player would get some help : in this mode, next nevel would and evolution of present level with just one more or less mecanism. Some info would be given on the door to hing which mecanism would be added or removed.

Well... Now back to playing !

There's no death log with undo so I guess I need to make a pause screen that feels like a notebook.

However, I feel like you've hit on a point that the endless mode needs more intimacy. How else would you get to know the beasts. It's currently like a sweaty puzzle nightclub. But there's no chill out room. Just corridors full of noise till you hit another dance floor. Maybe ally-doors could help if I buried them under the right elements.
