Add a testing area for uploaded games
Could a testing area be added to the games upload, so that writers can request feedback from the community? At present, it can be daunting to post a game as if it is finished - especially if it the first game.
After all, testing is vital and the more the merrier :)

Add a common tab to give quick access to the post used features for rooms/objects
It would be good to keep the current tab structure (for compatibility), but also to have a common tab that holds the most commonly accessed features in one place.
e.g. for rooms, I would expect this to hold the name, description and exits (maybe in a very short form).
This would allow the rooms to be quickly sketched out without needing to hop from tab to tab, which can be a bit confusing at times.

Show the user a quick view of the expected output for rooms/objects
I find that I have to keep running the walk through and going back to edit out the ungrammatical uses of 'You see a Coal' or 'You are in a Forest Path' and similar.
Could a quick display be given showing how the output is expected - assuming no scripts are running of course.
I realise that this is a deceptively simple request and there's a lot more to do under the bonnet...

Support time of day / date with schedules for movable NPCs
One of the greatest innovations I came across in classic CRPGs was how Ultima 5 supported a notion of time in the game, with NPCs having schedules. That way, special things can happen at a location only at specific times of day, or at a specific time and date in the game, NPCs can move around to different locations with different behavior at different times, etc. This makes for a much richer game.

WebEditor script bug
There is no way I can see to define what happens after an "if" statement. There is no "then" menu, dropdown, or button.

Make it possible to publish a Quest 5 game as an .exe like in earlier versions.
I'm trying to use Quest to make a game which is really, really weird. For my friends, who are also really weird. And its sort of timed, so the one who finds all the secret bits first and gets to the end will get to decide how the entire plot finishes (basically) so I can't have the source code be only a single click away, because people are going to cheat.
A CAS file is okay but I must admit I'd prefer an exe as it will be a much easier sell to the non-IF people, simply because standalone means… more

Give the option to display status only
I would like to include health and score in my games, but would like to get rid of the other panels, so that the user is forced to enter text as opposed to using the mouse.

(Web) Make non-compilable games editable
If you write an expression in a game and it raises an error, the webpage exits the editor. If you try to go back in to edit or delete the expression, you can't because it raises the error again and shoots you back to the homepage.

Make it possible to describe things
I want to set it up so that when you look in the airlock you get:
"My God! There's a baby in the airlock!"
However, all that Q5 allows me to have is:
"Looking good."
This is somewhat limiting.

Add the Attributes-tab to the online editor.
When editing objects, there is no attributes-tab where you can set the weight of individual objects and so on in the online editor. A shame really, since I can not use the Windows Desktop version.

Add line numbers to error messages to help with debugging problem areas.
It would be helpful for debugging if the error messages indicated a line number in the code for where the error is being caused.
