Its been a while but I've noticed a sharp dip in progress so I think we need to do something about it. I'd like to address some issues and some solutions we have discussed implementing to help progress in the future.
One of our biggest problems is the absence of our leader Glem3. Currently he is in nearly absolute power which demotivates people, because he goes on long breaks without telling people then comes back to reject half of our progress from when he was gone. With the big fear of having stuff rejected member's decide to just not do anything while Glem3 is gone. This makes it so we never get anything done unless Glem3 is here. We do have other people such as I who can approve designs etc. but stuff that I may like Glem3 often thinks differently and stuff people thought was approved is no longer approved and people had made even more progress on the idea. I know that I can judge wrong sometimes but I honestly think having more stuff is more beneficial to the project than less "perfect" stuff. Also knowing that glem can overrule my decisions makes me not want to approve designs. Because of this problem some of us have came up with a new system. This would be a complete overhaul to the entire approval system not just the design aspect like I posted earlier. MM and I have worked it out and this is what we want to pitch to Glem3 when he comes back. we don't mean this to be an overthrow to glem3 at all we just want progress to happen when certain powerful members are missing. Here's the system: Lets say some member makes a design, model, music etc. once the member posts it glem3 will have a week to approve it. If he doesn't the design will go to me or a leader of some other field for approval. The design will then be approved or rejected by that person or group. If it is approved Glem3 can't touch it, it will remain approved indefinitely. When we finally get to pitch the idea to glem we will lay out more of it when we work out all the details. Another problem is slightly my fault. Unfortunately when I went camping away from the internet I wasn't clear enough to the members that I was camping. Therefore during this time period people started rumors such as that I quit. For clarification I've been here for 2 and a half years I would not just walk out, if I were to quit, it would be spectacular and there would be no doubt in anyone's mind. But anyways, people believed these rumors and declared the project dead and people argued and moved to other projects. This kind of behavior is really counterproductive and it demoralizes some members that want to help. we've had a specific member quit the project and gave everyone a bad time before he left (trying hard to refrain using profanity, but swearing only decreases your argument's validity). If all we do is sulk around and do nothing he's won, he killed progress for us because he didn't like some aspect. What we should do instead is prove him wrong. If we can come together and get stuff done we will beat him, show that we don't need him to do stuff. If we act like we do need him and he comes back we'll treat him like a god. This extends to all members who leave the project either "permanently" or just temporarily. Third thing I'll discuss is a trailer. I've had one planned since before summer but we've never gotten to one. Look at our old trailer, it has over 200,000 views, it even has more views than the Newer release trailer. There are a lot of people out there who are looking forward to the hack we need to work our hardest in these last weeks of summer to get something out there for the people. We have plenty of designs we can make models. Our problem is texturing. We need to recruit more people who can texture and a trailer can do that. We need to get in gear working and being motivational to members who are doing stuff. By keeping a positive attitude even when times seem hard such as now we can do stuff. Well I think we need to make an updated new trailer thread with everything we want and then get hard at work on that. Once we get a trailer out people will know that we are still alive and we need to be very clear in what we need so we can get more people and speed up progress. I'll start by finishing my Coastline Cavern Star 2 design and posting that as well as starting on modeling Stormshine Star 1. I think if everyone looks hard enough they can find something to work on. Once we get the ball rolling it will be hard to stop. ____________________ Long live the new Kuribo64 |

Well said!
Wasn't there a thread where people wrote what they intended to do to help the project within a certain time and what their "goals" were or something? ____________________ Former SMG2.5 Advertiser and one-time Level Designer/Artist - So Apparently Norway is rich while Denmark and Sweden are happy.

Ah-men brother!
MrRean tried to revitalize us with a new trailer using MKDD levels, but that didn't really work out. I'm up for making ANY levels for a new trailer. Oh, and it's kind of sad that this is still up to date. Status: It was really, really fun, guys - thanks for the ride!

im all for texturing! It's my best area! but my personal problem atm is the project lacks structure, by that, I mean I really don't even know where to begin making textures for! so many galaxies have 2 or 3 different concepts and im not sure what the team wants in terms of texture, but, if you give me a specific texture to make, I'll make it!:) |

Well, we don't really require new textures. When we say texturing we really mean applying textures to models. Probably should have been clearer about that  ____________________ ![[image]](http://puu.sh/jR7Py/69ae5966ec.png)

...ah.
Anyway, I don't really know where else to post this, but looking at people's posts in the Art Academy Miiverse community, I feel like AA could be a really powerful tool to use for concept art for 2.5, since we can make hand-drawn art and have it uploaded to the Internet with no need for scanning, paper, or pencils. ____________________

Dude, that is an excellent idea!
But, wait if we post something like this on the Art Academy Miiverse community, won't it be taken down for "illegal hacking"? I know this because when I posted about Brawl+ on the SSB Miiverse community, my post was taken down for that. |

No, it wouldn't. It's just a picture. I suppose if you posted "HEY LOOK GUYS THIS IS FOR A SUPER MARIO HACK!" it would at least get some attention, but if you just post it then use the picture's URL to embed it in a forum post, you'll be fine.
Besides, this isn't illegal. ____________________

Yeah, if you do it like that.
But, I was just making a warning about the dumbasses on Miiverse thinking anything having to do with hacks is illegal. |

It would be cool if we make a SMG 2.5 Miiverse account where we post updates (not to many)
