The spinal shark collective is a team of StepMania themers who work on various projects, including our own fork of StepMania, sm-ssc.
sm-ssc v1.0 Release Candidate 2 released! by AJ on 2010/08/22
sm-ssc v1.0 rc2 has been released. Most importantly, a hack for miniholds has been put into place, but there are a number of other fixes (KSF handling) and features (new Lua bindings and message params) as well.

Grab it from the usual place.

moonlight public beta 1 released! by AJ on 2010/08/01
Not everything has to be sad. I've released a new version of moonlight for sm-ssc. We're finally in Beta.

sad news by AJ on 2010/07/29
Chris Danford has released a new version of StepMania 4 (b1) that only supports XML-based theming. None of the themes on this site work with that version of StepMania, and SSC will likely not port them back. At least AJ won't be porting back any of his themes, anyways.

If you want our themes to work correctly, it's sm-ssc or bust. (Call your local StepMania provider and tell them "I want my SSC!")

ultralight preview 4 released! by AJ on 2010/07/24
With a new version of sm-ssc available, I figured it was time to release another update to ultralight. It's at preview 4 now, and still compatible with both sm-ssc and StepMania 4 alpha versions.

sm-ssc v1.0 Release Candidate 1.5 released! by AJ on 2010/07/24
Another month, another sm-ssc release. This time, it's only rc1.5 since we haven't fixed the dreaded miniholds bug. However, rc1.5 fixes the screenshot naming bug (by changing screenshots from "screen#####" to YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS format.), along with note spacing on kb7 and some Pump modes.

Grab it from the usual place.

SSC on Formspring by AJ on 2010/07/14
Over the past couple of months, a few people have been sending us theming questions over Twitter. This was fine, up to a point where I couldn't fit a decent answer in the 140 character space. After much thought, I've decided that Formspring can be useful for something after all! :D

Our Formspring page lives here, and it will also be on the top bar as well.

Past Projects added by AJ on 2010/05/22
Even though I haven't gotten around to adding every project I know about, I've started a Past Projects page as a means to showcase work done by SSC members before we joined together as the world's best StepMania theming team. :) I'll add actual content as time goes by.

ultralight preview 3 released! by AJ on 2010/05/18
ultralight preview 3 has been released for sm-ssc and StepMania 4 alpha versions.

Site Redesign by AJ on 2010/04/22
Welcome to the new SSC homepage. Instead of remaking the SSC-hosted sm-ssc site like I had hoped to do, I decided to give the SSC site itself a much-needed facelift and redesign. Whereas there were links to the specific SSC members' projects before, there is now a unified projects page. The new projects page also shows what versions of StepMania the projects are compatible with. In addition to the general project list, each project has a proper page with a description and screenshots. The old sm-ssc page that was hosted on the SSC subdomain is no longer in use, so the new link points to the Google Code project page.
