Medley Of Suggestions 2
 
Hi! I'm Antikore, I'm glad to see you here again. Of course, I love to give ideas to PB, so, here we go with Medley of suggestions 2.
NOTE: Easier or harder, it's good to say ideas that can be cool for PB in a future.

PLATFORM BUILDER SUGGESTIONS

1.- See your sent items in explore section: Will be cool a game search filter, to see only games published by you.
2.- Enable or disable player jump: Like you can dis/enable the super jump or wall jump on the character settings, can be very good to see an option to directly disable totally the jump for the character (yes, I know it can be made with the custom player movement)
3.- Colored text: Harder or easier, for titles will be very epic to see colors.
4.- A way to customize in-game interface: To change the colors or the organization of the UI of the game.
5.- Invisible block to play a sound effect: A block that I can place it on ground, and when the player touches it, it plays a sound, an invisible block will be nice.
6.- Infinite extra sounds and a manager list: I don't know, If I can put all characters I want, why not the same with sounds?
7.- Fly randomly to the custom air enemies: If I want to make an enemy fly randomly on air, I think will be good to see that.
8.- An invisible sprite: If I want to make an item invisible, this will be a solution.
9.- Setting to make players when press ESC, return to last CP or the  start of the level: Like in my actual game, if you lose an important item, and you can't continue, if you press Esc, you return to the main menu, so I need to place "baths" because the water kills the player and returns to the last CP, but sometimes this can't be a solution.
10.- All enemy sprites on the custom enemy editor: Some enemies that PB have by default has a sprite that isn't at the custom enemy editor menu.
11.- Copy and paste things in the managers: If, for example, I need to make a character, that is another character but with a little change, why I need to make entirely again?
12.- Customize the settings menu: That would be cool for advanced games
13.- Exe maker: A professional program to make games, need this, no explanation needed :D :D
14.- Editor layers: Sometimes, some blocks can't be placed directly on some others, why not some layers?
15.- Custom tiles animated: You can make for example, a tileset that is really one tile, but different frames of the same tile, select an option called "Animated" or something, and select the speed between frames, and use it as an unique animated block.
16.- More default melee and ranged weapons: The character designer is up to 2 guns, and two swords. Yes, you can color them, but I don't know, I mean, If I want to make a bow, what I can do? xD
17.- Variables: For advanced users, to perform different things when they want it.
18.- More player title screen poses: Like in Mario Builder, you can place Marios with the different powerups, like this but in PB, you can put the player on a ladder like attached to it.
19.- Player spawns in different poses: For example, at the start o the level, directly appear attached on a ladder, hanged on bars or jumping.
20.- Wiring system: That could be epic, I saw the Terraria potential in this things, and I love to see, pressure plates, buttons or switches, levers, and connect them through colored wires to blocks, doors, logic gates, or anything. That could be epic and insane >:D
21.- Import and export project slots: As PB is limited to 8 slots, the players will need something if they created 8 games, and needs more slots, so the player can extract one into files he can move, and then create another game in that slot, and when he needs it, import those files in a slot. That will be good if you want to move your work from a computer to another, without work directly with the PB files (In few words: Easier for anyone.)
22.- Sea type of enemies: Like the air enemies or the land enemies, can be nice xD
23.- Drop Tables: Make a drop table means that an enemy can drop a lot of things with different percentages etc.
24.- In-course World Map: Instead of a world map, a way of making a course to be the world map.
25.- Infinite custom spritesheets: No explanation needed
26.- Animated Backgrounds: To make, for example, a water fall, a radiant sun, etc.
27.- Adjustable backgrounds: A way to upload backgrounds, and those backgrounds get adjusted to the screen, instead of making so much big, or so much small, and need to modify the background with external software.

FORUM SUGGESTIONS

1.- A contest forum: Contest will make really more active this forums (But when the forums have more people)
2.- Message when you join: If needed, to make people know how the forums work
3.- A tutorial forum: When people can post their tutorials
4.- PB-based ranks: As in the SMBX forums, the ranks you earn when you post a number of posts, is something about the forum topic. In the SMBX forums case, is like: Goomba, Koopa Troopa, Boo. So, in the PB forums can be like: 10 posts - Gruppy, 20 posts... Do you know what I mean?

So, I quickly went through your list, and this is my response
You can make invisible items with ease if you have Pro. You only delete a graphic from an item you don't want to use (I'd choose candy), and there you go. An invisible item.
Extracting and importing game files is not a problem, you just have to read a manual. :P
An .exe maker obviously would be a nice thing, but we already have an Explore section.

All this other stuff is fine for me. Just don't expect all this stuff to happen in a next update, because soon you will make yet another Medley of Suggestions and TingThing will never keep up, haha  :)) :)) :D

1.- Yes, xD. That's another option, I know you can delete an sprite and use it as invisible item, but I think Ting Thing must target on making infinite custom spritesheets.
2.-  Okay, but a faster way probably will be good xD (and easier to find, because I never found that on Manual xD.)
3.- Yes, but a good and professional game is better at standalone, and not necessary to download the PB to, then, play the game. For now, Explore section is good. xD

Anyway, thank you for all your answer, yes, probably a Medley of Suggestions 3 will be upcoming (Spoiler). I also don't expect to have all this things in a future, but probably the next Medley of Suggestions I will give my opinion on each suggestion by a priority level (e.g. Low, Medium, High, Very High, Very low). In this case, I will only say that the Wiring System would be insane and epic, and will open PB to a
(literally) new world xD.
