Linux Player / Web player Support
Create Official Linux Support. So the ability to make games for linux that run naturally on linux. Standalones and Webplayers. This would push Unity Waaay over all those other engines (make it for indie linux). And ability to run unity3d on linux.

Platform: Android phone support
Google's Android is a very capable platform. I wonder if a Unity player could be done in native code and preserve the means to offer game-specific functionality within Android's Java-based application environment.

Terrain: Voxel-based terrains
Voxel-based terrains would allow designers to create tunnels, caves, and overhangs without using tricks like portals. CryEngine 2 uses voxel terrains. Unity should too.

Terrain: Road/River splines
We need road and river splines, like in CryEngine and Torque.
That would allow us to modify a simple spline, which would modify the terrain to form around the road.
Or for water, we need to be able to have water physics, and flow, like in Torque. That would be really good for making more realistic terrains.

Physics: Layer based Ignore Collision
Having to pull around your own system for managing collision rules for groups of objects becomes tedious fast.
Currently we have:

Graphics: built-in Morph Target support
There's no built-in support for Morph Targets (a.k.a. Blend Shapes or Vertex Level Animation).
Of course it's possible to do some of that manually (e.g. MeshMorpher script), but having native support for both importing and runtime functionality would be great.

Editor: Visual Logic Editor
I saw a post about visual GUI editor and shader editor. They are all nice but missing one important visual editor, it's visual logic editor.
Right now there is no easy way to create cut-scenes without scripting, moreover, easy way to visualize what's going on in the scene setup. Scripts are all h... more -

Editor: built-in lightmapper with radiosity
It would be nice if the editor could bake lightmaps for selected meshes.
Maybe UT could cooperate with the creators of gile[s] since they seem to be in Copenhagen too. :)

Headless Server on Linux
Unity needs a Linux headless server build to open very wide possibilities for the indie multiplayer games.
The task seem to be not complex at the first glance (I'm a developer myself):
1) Introduce a NULL rendering device (in other words, Unity3D will not render anything, this could be a trivial ... more
