Some of you have been sending in emails getting a bit panicky on why I haven't posted anything over the past week. Well, I was on a ski vacation in Vermont, at this really awesome resort called Smugglers' Notch. Anyways, ski lifts closed at 4 everyday. So, I started making new stages at night, which will all soon be added to the collection. Also, while I was there, I met some other Brawl fans who also made some stages for the stage collection. I even updated some of the other stages that I already uploaded to the collection.
So, don't worry! The project is very much still alive. And I will continue posting updates this Monday!
UPDATE: In a recent edition of Nintendo Power, the magizine actually had an interesting article on howto make better custom stages in Brawl. I will soon be making a post highlighting the main points in the article, so that this way, future stages that are uploaded to the collection will be of a higher calibur. I would post the article in its entirety here, but as a service to the paying subscribers of Nintendo Power, I will not.
The article went on to show some very creative stages made by the NP staff, and that they would show more stages in future issues. I will be reconstructing these stages and posting them to the collection as well. They will soon be listed under a new category titled "Nintendo Power". And like all other stages posted here, they will be posted with screen shots, gameplay videos, gameplay strategies, and a description of the stage.
And one more thing....
If anyone has made an update to their stage, they can send the newer version to BrawlStages@gmail.com
But be sure to mention that it is an update to a stage that is already here.
When a stage is updated an entirely new post will be made, and all new info will be posted about the stage. And a link to the newer version of the stage will be added to the original post here.
The original stage will also still be available for download, unless requested tone removed by the stage's creator.
If a stage is requested to be removed, the post will be editted accordingly. However, the gameplay video will still remain on YouTube, in order to avoid broken links and confusion. Though, the video page will also be updated to link to the newer version of the stage.
UPDATE 2: Any stages that were submitted to the collection, but were not yet posted, should become available within the next week. And they will be posted in the order that they were submitted.
The guide on howto upload your own stages to the collection will be available soon.
UPDATE 3: As I have been looking at many of your stages over the past few weeks. I have to say, while some have been quite impressive, others have lacked. And all of the stages, that have been lacking all have very similar design arrangements. So, now on this page I will also be giving design tips for making better custom stages in Brawl. It will soon be listed in its own category on the left, labeled as "Design Tips".
