Stage Builder Ideas

Dread Abyss · Posted: Thu Jul 09, 2009 4:58 am Post subject: Stage Builder Ideas

Just post whatever you think should be improved in Stage Builder, ideas like breakable blocks or being able to place objects Tetris style.

For one I think there should be fire pieces that inflicts damage and, unlike spikes, draw you in instead of repelling you. I also think there should be something like running water that goes over the edge of blocks and pushes down on whatever goes through the stream. This could also work for running lava, except lava hurts you. Ice slides would also be cool because people would slip and slide down to their doom. Preferably to firey doom.

For sure you should be able to change the color of items, and disguisable falling blocks... they're just too obvious. More backgrounds, and you should be able to choose multiple songs and use sliders for chance, just like in regular courses.

I like Abyss's idea of water running, but I think wind would also be good. You should be able to make things in the background attack occassionally.

I definately agree with you Ceyrox, especially on the music idea.

Yeah wind would also be a good addition, but would it always be windy or occasionally? The background attacking would be interesting, maybe something Kraid-esque like in Melee.

Definately breakable materials. And more backgrounds of course. And you should be able to change the direction of spikes. And, let's not forget, you should be able to change the distance of moving platforms.

By monsters do you characters like Octoraks in Melee or Koopa in Mario Bros. (Brawl stage)?

Hmmm. Perhaps an occasional monster in the background. But I wouldn't over do it. Maybe they could have like three backgrounds per game, and then about ten misscellaneous ones?

How about Side-scrolling levels where you can loop up to 5 pieces together?

Wait, there were Octoraks in melee?

I personally hate scrolling stages, but it might be worth a try.

Occasionally when a crate broke there'd be an Octorak. Anyways moving stages tend to be annoying, except Poke' Floats. That was a good stage, I'd be fine for something like that again.

A creature like Birdo would be cool, but a bullet bill would be even better.

I like your flowing water idea. And possibly rising water/lava/acid like on Norfair.

I'm all for the "element" ideas! I think the attacking background things might be annoying...

Anyway, my idea is to make the stages a little more, 3-D. I guess the easiest way to explain that is, look at "Battleground". Its not just blocks that form a fighting platform, but it has that huge hexagon in the center of it. Do you kind of understand, or no?

Oh, perfect stage! You have the wind blow throughout the match, and you have a giant spike wall! Or, if they miss that, a river will send them to their death.

I think a waterrfall would look cool, and be deadly. Or how about just water like on Pirateship or Delfino Plaza?

Yay people like water! Anyways I'm definately for your idea of a 3D stage, Sula.

Regular water would be fine too, maybe you could add something in the water like Klap Traps (lizard creature in Kongo Jungle stage).

I think you should be able to discguise falling blocks as normal blocks...

Or falling platforms that are ice...

I agree, but why stop there? Um, lets see...Oh yeah, you know how on "Spear Pillar", sections of the floor will all fall away? I think its better than the falling blocks.

True, and I like how it slants into a pit.

Yep. Oh, and how every now and then the stage tilts left or right. That would be fun.

Yeah I like that idea 'Sula, maybe there could be a seesaw effect where it tilts to the most weight. Also there was an idea I had for a stage from Metroud Prime 3 where the ground broke and you fell for a long time while still being able to fight which I think could be implemented as an effect. That or maybe wind going upwards allowing you to float and battle would be cool.
