Run 4 Requests and Ideas

On this page, feel free to add requests about Ideas and requests about what you would want for the future game of "Run 4". Please put your username by the requests to organize it. For large bodies of text, surround it with [] and put your name at the end. Example: [The Runner and Angel stop fan fic ships] - Coilcon08
PLEASE NOTE THAT CAPITAL LETTERS ARE MY OPINION ON THE IDEAS - @Djninjanova
== Gameplay ==
[A 3D platformer (obviously) that has a combination of Run 2 and Run 3's level design.] - GamesJam82
[Return of speed settings] - GamesJam82
[Return of bonuses] - GamesJam82
[Events - Sometimes, different tunnels and minigames (refer to party mode suggestion) will unlock for special occasions such as Christmas instead of just the power cells changing. There could also be prizes for finishing these (such as skins and power cells) and special leaderboards (refer to below)] - 2611637a
[Leaderboards - Leaderboards to show different stats such as fastest players to complete the game (would help with speed-run-ning) and best players in minigames (refer to party mode suggestion below not by me).] - 2611637a
[Different Shapes of Levels (Like a Sphere)] - Upside umop
["Secret Levels" can only be unlocked by completing "Secret Achievements". After completing the secret achievement, click on it to get transported to the secret level.] - by Jme77
[To accommodate the new platforms well, there would be a way to change your keybinds (or controller-binds) and the location of the "control sticks" for mobile.] - by Jme77
[BACKGROUND DETAILS: I think it would be cool if the background was more than just a black sky and dots. maybe the sky in the background could have some other planets from the solar system orbiting around it. maybe we could see some comets flying through the sky, like what you see in actual space. we would be able to see asteroid belts, and on rare occasions in cutscenes, the sun (if there even is a sun the Run solar system). I understand that cool features like this would probably break your devices, so this probably won't be added.] - Space Orchid
[Gameplay for the planet- In the planet, you will be able to socialize with other players and complete minigames or side quests given to you by NPCs, which i imagine will be the minor characters (you'll still be able to play them outside of the planet though). there can be some places for you to visit such as the hospital, the factory, a coffee shop, and more. Maybe your custom character could even have their own house to visit and have the opportunity to edit lighting, furniture, and wallpaper.] - Space Orchid
[music: new songs will be added that may be a different genre of music that will sometimes play during cutscenes and play most of the time when going through tunnels.] - Space Orchid
[A 3-D map mechanic that when you hover over the black dots on the map, will display the level in a tiny square(similar to Run 1 level selection).] - BoomboxOBG
[Wormhole locations on the map will show when unlocked. When you click on them, the map will slide away and the runner will take out a new map(small animation) listing other tunnels located on the other side of the wormhole. You can switch back to the previous map you were on by clicking the wormhole again. (This mechanic would also imply that there are multiple unlockable wormholes)] - BoomboxOBG
Anti- Piracy Screen - The game might be really high effort, to the point that it should cost money. If there's a pirated copy, Player 03 can do a thing where the pirated copy starts as normal, but the only available character is the Runner, who's holding her map, but with a hollow eye socket (pitch black eye). The only button is "Play" and when you press it, it's a pitch black level, where it's completely silent, and there are no tiles. Therefore, the "Runner" keeps falling, and once they fall 50 times, the screen glitches out and shows the anti piracy screen. This consists of a heavily darkened entity (which appears to be the same species as every other alien) who is facing off screen. They have a large pitch black eye, with a pitch black liquid substance dripping out. They also have no mouth, and some text reads:
Something's not right! This software appears is an unauthorized copy of Run 4!
Piracy is a very serious crime!
Delete this game immediately and report it to legal authorities!
Then, an ear piercing glitch noise plays and crashes the game. (bHUVA)
^ instead of that, just have the game crash on startup like any reasonable anti-piracy screen (thisguy)
Tunnels in alphabetical order (e.g. Tunnel-A - Tunnel-Z
== Game Modes ==
=== Explore Mode ===
[The explore mode like in Run 3 with branching tunnels and stuff.] - GamesJam82
=== Infinite Mode ===
[It should be random like how it was in Run 1 but I dont think there should be the difficulty percent thing. The only tiles you would see in it would be the regular ones and crumbling tiles. There could also be power cells and boxes with power cells in the boxes like in run 3.] - GamesJam82
=== Edit Mode ===
The editors
=== Multiplayer ===
If you have friends
=== Backwards Mode ===
[Like Run 3's] - GeneCassayre
=== Time Trials ===
[Where a player must complete certain levels in a set amount of time] - GeneCassayre
=== Master Mode ===
[Where the player has a limited amount of lives or characters (Kinda like a permadeath or hardcore type thing)] - GeneCassayre
== Multiplayer ==
=== Races ===
[Race to get to get to the end of a level or tunnel first] - 2611637a
=== Duels ===
[A 1v1 against another online player or CPU where you start at a certain tunnel with a time limit and see who can beat the tunnel first or get the farthest. With the same character of course so it's balanced.] -GeneCassayre
[Maybe in "Duels", instead of them using the same character, maybe they just can only use characters they've both unlocked? For instance, if player A has the Runner, Skater, and Child unlocked, and player B has the Runner, Skater, and Gentleman unlocked, they can both choose between either the runner or the skater? If you are competing against an AI, they just can use any character you unlocked (and so can you). This would be especially useful for testing characters to see stuff like their exact speed (in relation to one another) or other things. You can also, in private lobbies, enable use of a custom level, character, or even tunnel!] - Jme77, original duels idea above
=== Party Games ===
[A 1-4 player party game mode for people who like "playing" rather than "running". Includes 50+ minigames like "Topple Tower", "Air Boarding", and more to come one future updates! Play solo against the AI, play locally on console editions, or online with ranked and standard!] - 777memes777
=== Infinite mode racing ===
2-4 players racing last one to fall or live win and just run until the last person remains.-[Sketar]
==Editors==
=== Level Editor ===
[
Conveyors and custom tile making in the editor-- Characteristics of tiles can be edited
Using same map as Run 3 but with new tunnels
Attach custom levels to tunnels and map  eg. custom level on M3
] - Anonymous
=== Custom Tunnels ===
[Allows you to chain together custom levels (and cutscenes) in your own map, you can even add "clickable" images for cutscenes where characters rudely draw on the Runner's map >:( You can also put restrictions on the characters you can use, except for the Runner who must always be enabled (For both story reasons & preventing maps where you can't unlock any characters).] - Jme77
=== Cutscene Editor ===
[You can add characters by moving around the provided sprites and you zoom in and out to make it look like they are closer to the camera. You could even add your custom characters. There will also be a selection for the Tunnel (setting) you want to have it in or you could do your own custom level. There will be a toolbar that has speech bubbles to make your character speak. You could choose from a variety of speech bubbles such as a thought bubble. Last but not least, you click home and then it will give you options to save and give your cutscene a name.] - Fan of four swords 
[We could also share cutscenes or link them to certain custom levels] - Umhi43 
=== Character Editor ===
[This will let you create your character from just a simple plain black sprite to an alien in your imagination. There will be a selection of what traits your character will have such as, antennae, bunny ears or a flower or any accessory. Then you will pick what color the character will have. The last steps are adding the eyes and the mouths and after that, you will get to name your character and save it in your collection.] - Fan of four swords 
==Character Ideas==
[Human NPCs are introduced in the game. They will contribute a LOT to the story and would count as major characters even though you can't play as them. The 1st NPC is the Sleeping Beauty (who was mentioned in the minor characters page on this wiki and in one of player 03's streams) and there's also gonna be a little bit more human NPCs.] -Space Orchid
[All characters from Run 3 return] - GamesJam82
[Jumper - Can do a double jump] - GamesJam82
[Singer- Can do a note wave to beat gravity stunts] - Bravo's alt
[Cannonballer - fast, slippery, can fly like a cannonball really far] - Upside umop
[Spy - Narcissistic in cutscenes, can rapidly switch gravity and go to the top of the tunnel and wears the sickest pair of shades. Besides that plays almost the same as the Runner.] - 2611637a[Hurdler - Runs a little slower than skater and jumps as high as Lizard] - Umhi43[Gamer - Can run slightly faster than Runner but can manipulate tunnel elements to make it easier (to use ability 1 press Q) can also swiftly go to the sides by pressing E (ability 2).] - 777memes777[Weirdo- Runs as fast as Skater if you loose 12 times. (ability 1.) Can make meme dash when you press D when you jump, which makes the jump really high. (ability 2.)] - Bravo's alt[Cowboy - runs slightly faster than skater when you jump off of ramps and has a double jump to also make it go slightly faster as skater (also only talks about the wildwest)] - Orbulon_[Skateboarder - Fast as the Skater but can double jump, also can't turn very fast at all.] -D500dev
[Ninja - a ninja from our world that got trapped in the game but decided to come back (the story is on my profile @djninjanova )his ability is to throw a shuriken and teleporting to where it landed] - djninjanova 
[Conjurer - a magic user who can pull over tiles and stuff over to where he wants. he's still an apprentice, so when he conjures something he has a 25% chance to get hit by a tile and stunned, which hinders his running, jumping, and he can't conjure for 5 seconds. if the conjured item is a box, he has a 50% chance to get hit and stunned] - bHUVA 
[Shapeshifter - they start off as a pitch black semisolid alien with glowy white markings like question marks, and has the same abilities as the Runner but slower. Every 30 seconds, they can shapeshift into a random character that is unlocked. This will happen every 30 seconds, and won't stop.] - bHUVA 
[Human - can be customized when unlocked, and can be unlocked very rarely when the wormhole is activated. has probably tens or hundreds of outfits to choose from. they can also choose a special perk. the humans are twice the size of the aliens, so they would need a 3x3 hole or bigger to make them fall. in cutscenes, the human will have the specific outfit that was chosen. sorry player, ur gonna need to do a ton of coding and sprites for that] - bHUVA 
Mailman: He doesn't want to be late for delivery, so he speeds up when falling in a level, if he gets to fast, his speed resets. Description: He doesn't want to be late, so he might need a speed boost to hurry. Shop Description: Unlock the Mailman, and speed up every time you fall. Locked Description: Collect Power Cells to see who's in a hurry. -Ajk2010 
Ninja (the remaked one, the original was a costume for Child)- They can double jump and are fast, but not as fast as Skater. They're non-binary. (Paintsoldier) NAME IT SOMETHING RELATED BUT NOT THE SAME AS MY ORIGINAL Ninja (its from my fanfic)
Xerif - The xerif, he can shoot at enemies and they have chance to drop power cells. (Paintsoldier)
[Warper: A scientist who has a glasses-like gadget that makes portals in front of her, teleporting her to another place and can see what tile a disguised tile actually is. (Paintsoldier)
Characters have voice actors, and should have a talking animation with entirely seperate sprites, and instead of speech bubbles, there should be captions that can be turned on and off in the settings.

== Story Ideas ==
[When the gentleman is inished with both of his projects, the Duplicator, child, angel, and bunny have already gone back to the planet. Meanwhile, the pastafarian finds the runner and the rest of her team. She participates with them to investigate the wormhole and the tunnels the runner is trying to map. While doing this, the pastafarian keeps telling everyone different things about the flying spaghetti monster and teaching them lessons and stuff. Finally, she tells them about the Gentleman's projects and suggests at least one of the aliens joins him to interview the tunnels he made. Skater agrees, but student and runner decide they should just keep moving forward, mapping tunnels, and investigate the wormhole.] -Space Orchid
[Skater tells the Student he's in love with her.]- Goldii/Lemony/Yoyo NO THAT IS A BAD COMBO
[The Angel and his group have made it home. The Pastafarian left and rescued the Runner and her group (so they are home too). Yet all the characters are filled with a longing to return to the tunnels... None of them can, but their children hear the stories, return to the tunnels, and attempt to find the Student.(HOW ABOUT ANOTHER CHARACTER IS STUCK IN THE TUNNELS) ] - TheBunny101 BUT I WANT TO USE THE STUDENT AND I WANT TO KEEP THE OLD CHARACTERS
[Lizard scribbles on Angel's face while bunny bounces on angel.] - Haycat2009 (LOL) YES 
[It happens after the whole gang passes through the wormhole and there going through the tunnels on the other side.] - Anonymous
[It will Start when the Wormhole have been crossed by the runner"s gang, then It show new tunnels and algle's gang bing looking for runner's gang and then the cuild and the duciter find the wormhole that the runner's gand has passed thorth] - by idontcare568 
[The lizard learns how to speak as a result of being Ignored in Run 3 and the lizard what’s to know about get to the planet so he follows the other characters to the planet so he can return to the planet because in Run 3 it looks like the lizard has been living in the tunnels longer then the other characters] - by the dr man 
[The Student begins her introvert, depressed (I don't know) stage and goes to find the wormhole by herself and finds the planet but no one believes her so she tries to push the planet back to them but ends up getting sucked into the wormhole instead so everyone tries to find her.] - By 2611637a
[The Runner's group finds a tunnel that is closer than T-7 to the wormhole. While they are planning, Skater jumps through and makes it to the other side. They follow the Skater and land in a unfamiliar tunnel. They split up to map out the tunnels and find their planet] - Umhi43
[Lizard gets revenge on the Angel telling the Bunny to jump on him] - sketar
[Good Storyline: I would like Run 4 to have a great storyline like Run 3. Like how there are different groups (Angel) and (Runner) recruiting people and have different goals.] - Umhi43
[Duplicator and Angel become besties.] -Gentangel [That’s not possible. - DaxMax143]
[ The home crew is coming back but don't know where runner went but they also don't know where the pastafarian went but also the wormhole crew gets lost but tend to know that the wormhole just mixed the past with 2d and 3d blocks past and dead come and also they have to explore new tunnels and they all are confused so they all work together to solve what happened and what is going on with the tunnels they will switch from 2d in 2d levels and 3d in 3d lvls-[sketar]
The Wormhole leads to a new dimension where the flying spaghetti monster is which then leads to the pastafarian staying and exploring-sabercalw208
[When you get to level one of run 4 with the runner (the runner should cost 1000 power cells to return to the tunnels) there is a cutscene (Memories) that will allow you to buy Ninja for 13000 power cells (which will unlock a cutscene (I'm back).
[Wormhole Activation: at a random point, you can go to level t-7 and see the student sitting at the endNostalgia. a cutscene starts where the player's character asks the student what's going on, and she says there's been some activity in the wormhole. suddenly, something pops out of the wormhole, which can (commonly) be junk, (uncommonly) a handful of power cells that can be collected, (rarely) more power cells, and (very rarely) a character, or even a human, which can be played and customized (see above). when it isn't time to collect anything, the student will instead say "There's no activity so far. I can tell you guys when there is."
[Nostalgia: when beating level t-7 with a human, the student is sitting looking at the wormhole. the human comes over, and they say:
Human: What's going on?
Student: This is the wormhole you came out of. I'm checking if anything else comes out.
Human: Wait, I came out of this? Last thing I remember was crashing into some blue squares that knocked me out. Then someone who looks like you without the backpack but with skates came over and helped me up.
Student: That was the Skater. He just goes everywhere and explores
Human: So none of you guys have actual names?
Student: We choose our names based on something we're good at or just something we are. So that's how I became the Student
Human: So you like school?
Student: Well, I like school and I am a student after all. I wanted to be the Scientist but that was taken.
Human: Now I understand more about how your ways work.
Student: Yep.
The Student and the Human stare into space with a moment of silence, so the Human starts talking before it becomes awkward
Human: I miss home.
Student: Me too, but I've been working with the Runner and the Skater for a long time, I just can't leave.
Human: As much as I want to go home and hang out with my friends, there's so much to explore in space. I remember my dad, showing me this on his telescope. Now I'm so much closer.
Student: I think I have one of those in school.
Human: You had those in school?
Student: Mhm.
Human: And in school I would sometimes mess with people in classes with my friends, good times.
Student: You what?
Human: We felt like being rebels, okay?
Student: Makes sense, since it's school.
Human: It was really funny though. I wish I could do that again...
Human (walks away): I'm gonna try and make it home, I'm longing to see everyone I know again... ] - bHUVA
Warper - A scientist, can makes portals she can use to teleport to another place and see which tile a disguised tile actually is.
ADD CHAPTER CUTSCENES HERE
Memories: when you use the runner on level 1 in run 4 this cutscene will be unlocked. the first part will show runner thinking about when Ninja first came into the game.the next 5 parts will show the first interaction between Runner and NInja. 2nd one shows the runner saying "are you lost" the next one shows Ninja replying "first of all who are you?" the 4th one shows Runner reply "I am the runner" and in the final one NInja asks "am i in run 3?" and runner replies "yes you are in run 3"
I'm Back: when ninja is unlocked the I'm Back cutscene will play. in the first part Ninja tells the runner "I'm back" runner replies "did you get trapped here again?" on the next part Ninja says "don't worry i have a way back and forth so i can go back at any time." runner replies "how did you do that?" NInja replies "the student made the portal here and i made the portal back" in the next part Runner says "good" and then the cutscene ends 
[On the start, on another planet, its King finds the existence of thr tunnels, sending his very dumb minios to there, and no doubt they cause the chaos that now has to be stopped.] (Paintsoldier) 
==Objects==
[
It uses blocks(it is like Run 2 cubes with Run 3 like)
Kinds of cubes(solids)
*Regular face
*Ice face
*Bouncy face
*conveyor face
*grass face
(a face is the square on the cube, so it can be more than one kind of face on the same cube
and also a cube can be incomplete with just less than 6 faces)
liquids
*Water cube
*Lava cube
(it is what's inside the cube.)
] - Anonymous
[
There will be regular tiles & boxes (like run 3)
Boxes can have "effects", like tiles. They can also be rotated to any angle in the level editor. 
Effects:
*Ice: Tints the tile blueish white and makes it speed you up like ice in run 3
*Ramp (tile only): Basically just a run 3 ramp. You can change the direction of the ramp by using a conveyor effect (facing the way you want the ramp to face)
*Conveyor: Pushes you in it's direction at a speed of 1 tile per second. Horizontal conveyors no longer tilt your gravity, they just push you. Pushing is cancelled if combined with a ramp effect
*Climbable (box only): If you touch the front face of a box, can you "climb" it? It's kinda like the bunny glitch with boxes, but more smooth and with any character.
*Fragile: If you touch a fragile tile or box, it will fall (along with any nearby fragile tiles/boxes). Essentially crumbling tiles in run 3 but its an effect and can be applied to boxes.
*Light source (has a parameter ranging from 1-10): Allows a tile or box to act as a light source. The parameter determines it's strength. Light sources allow you to see nearby tiles and boxes easily even when the power is off (it would also work kinda like alpha minecraft lighting).
*Teleporter (has an "id" that can be any string. Only 2 tiles or boxes can share the same id, no more): Touching a teleporter tile/box will teleport you to the corresponding tile/box (corresponding meaning the other thing that has the same id)
] - Jme77
[Ability blocks - Allows you to use special abilities for different characters (like if the Duplicator returns touching this will allow him to use his duplicates ect) or if the character touching it doesn't have a special ability it gives them a one of boost (like a limited time speed boost for the runner)] - 2611637a
[Jump Pads - Landing on one launches you up into the air. It could be useful in making super hard levels where players need to time their jump or land at a certain angle to propel them in the right direction.] - Umhi43
[freezing blocks- freezes you for about 10 sec] - sketar
[speed booster-speeds you up a random chance from 0.1 to 3 speed 
Spin reaction block- what child spinned with but reacts with all characters but also can push you left or right or down or up.(sketar)
Crumbling titles but hidden with bouncy power-in 5% chance could bounce and save you. (sketar)
==Obstacles==
Hazards that or kill The character or have an negative effect.
Stranger Aliens - The enemies, they invaded The tunneld and messed with the tunnels as the mais antagonists.
Stander: Gets in place, kills in contacto and Deus if jumped on.
Butterfly: Flies on a path.
Faker: Fakes as a tile, crushed the character if stepped on.
Blocker: Walks, but builts in tiles stopping acting as a wall.
Dragon: Spawns things and died after a time.
Spike trap - A spiked tile, kills on contact. (That doesn’t seem necessary; holes accomplish basically the same purpose - DaxMax14)
==Tiles==
Kinds o tiles.
Trampolines - Bounces on touch.
Disguised tiles - Seems like a tile It looks but acts as another.

=====A sharp Discovery! Plot=====
Unlocked when first playing this level. "Huh." Runner replied. "This is the first tunnel I saw that has 3 sides!" The Runner tries to go up the sides without jumping. "I can't run up these normally, but..." Runner added. The Runner successfully went up the sides with jumping and The Skater added, "...you can if you jump!" "This strategy will be great for this tunnel!" The Runner concluded.

===The Temple===
Has high celings for every level, has long levels, has 5 levels
The main tunnel (mixed 2d and 3d) all 65 levels
as a 3d character playing run 3 level 1 and mixed levels 
air blocks
The Archive Storage area (11 levels)
Where peoples favorite 11 tunnels are added to this tunnel
The very hard tunnel (contains 3 levels)Feel free to add more!
===Detached Tunnel===
Add a tunnel that's completely disconnected from any other tunnel. Not like the way onwards or the way back, which are in line with other tunnels. Also, the teapot can be found here as an Easter Egg.
There could be a cutscene where the Lizard falls asleep and ends up here. It would give a mission for the lizard. Also, the Lizard could find the teapot and not be able to tell anyone.
-Tweer64
===The Frozen River===
-D500dev
The Frozen River is a hybrid between The Winter Games and The River. It can be found by beating the last level in the W Tunnel (if they have one). It will have 14 levels and will get progressively more difficult. It will have a mix of ramps and ice tiles.
