Yeah, I made a few, but it's usually more satisfying to have some sort of goal.

cool!

games with endless gameplay can have goals to like finishing a Quest or a level

I only make endless games for gamejams with short duration such as Ludum Dare cause it's easier to do. Just make some varying assets yet sufficient for a game , code in unlimited spawnings (enemies, items etc) then put them in a level with unlimited time.

cool!

Hey o139,

I also have a deep interest in endless games. 

Currently, my main roadblock to enhancing the experience of my project is figuring out how to integrate endless narrative/story into endless games.

well there can be repeatable Quests that change every time you get it

True, I think the main issue there is if you really want the player to feel like they are exploring the narrative/story of the game, those quests will probably need to be quite sophisticated, and not obvious in repetition. 

 I think players are quite good at identifying repeating patterns in games.
