Oh yea, I just made 1 simfile recently. Took me around 3 days due to occasional loss of design for steps ^_^;;

Wasn't planning to do a simfile actually, but since the song's so catchy, I got dragged in.
I took your advice into consideration and try to use doubles in the correct places only.
I'm also aiming to make the song feel enjoyable like Jubo did, though I'm still a ways off before I can achieve that. When I researched his simfiles again, I realised that he put the steps at the right place, and some of them felt like they're producing the tunes itself.


Song : Tsuisou no Despair
Artist : Kanako Itou
Game : Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kizuna OP (A yet-to-be-released Nintendo DS game)
Level : Challenge/Expert only (still lazy)

Good improvement. Still felt like some part in the beginning was a bit off, but that may just be me.

You really like doubles huh?

Aha, the early part (before the stream) was designed like that. Instead of following normal beat, I made it sync with the drum beating sound at the back. I've tried making it like usual, but it just didn't match with the drum beating sound.

Oh? Is there a way to further reduce my doubles? The usual design that I come up with are typically like this : left-right-left-double, where the double is the part where drum beat is heard from the song. Maybe that's gotten old already.

The place I feel that there's several doubles packed together is after the long stream of right and up arrow. For that part, I just can't help myself from spamming :P

BTW, what theme did you use? Looks like AOI Projekt Blue (I'm using it) but its a bit different. The different thing is that screenshot is : The girl (Me got a green-haired girl for AA) and the top bar is diff.

EDIT : NVM, I found it :D Nice theme. XI Distortion.

P.S. WOW, there's some new themes over at stepmaniathings!! :D

Now I'm hooked to the XI Distortion theme :P

I'm leaving for college pretty soon, and here's my last simfile for the time being.

----- Song Details -----

Title : Sweet Love ~Kenzen Danshi ni Mono Mousu~
Artist : KOTOKO
Game : Tsuyokiss 2
Level : Challenge & Edit

http://www.bemanistyle.com/sims/simfile.php?id=23870

Figured out how to use video banners, so I used it on this one.
I try to make this one to have an enjoyable feel to it.
Please comment ^_^
Good or bad, need fixing or not, etc.



I made another one before the Tsuyokiss simfile, but honestly I'm not really sure about it. It was done nicely, yet I have a strange feeling... *shivers*
I'll post it anyways.

----- Song Details -----

Title : Find The Blue
Artist : Kanako Itou
Game : Chaos;Head
Level : Challenge/Expert only

http://www.bemanistyle.com/sims/simfile.php?id=23833

This one is a bit chaotic, especially during the chorus part. But if pressed quickly and precisely, the steps actually make sense :D

XI Distortion is indeed a great theme, but after using it for 4-5 months you tend to get a bit tired of it.






The video in the first song startled me, since I'm using a noteskin which is pretty colorful which made it hard to see them cause of the...video. :/

Pretty okay simfiles. I think your last one was better. Try to vary instead of making it that chaotic all the time. Like, do the verse non-chaotic and let the chorus be chaotic. It makes it funnier and looks better.

Hehe, looks like I'm not going to college yet, so I made another. Sorry for bothering you with these :D

Oh yeah, as for the simfiles uploaded before, I re-upped the simfile with a slightly better video included in the 10MB pack, and also made a 2nd version of their video (which is higher in quality and bigger) for those who are concerned with the quality. The links for the videos are in their respective simfile description.

OP of the anime Soul Eater.
Its my first time trying to make a heavy level simfile. Mind giving some comment, whether its too hard or too easy for heavy level. (Its a bit crappy because I don't know how hard it should be.)


LOL, I made another two, so here it goes. I guess I'll just edit this post.

You can always send in some songs you've made. I have already gotten a few submissions from people.

You can send in as many as you like, but max 3 from each person can come in the pack.

Well, I'm also a simfile author but I only make Pad steps. You can see the better group of my simfiles here http://neothe0ne.wordpress.com/ (at bemanistyle I have a lot more, but I'm not satisfied with the steps/audio/video/banner quality with all of those, so ignore those for the time being >_>)

MrSanjuro, can I have details about your Pack? Narrowing down to 3 songs actually wouldn't be too hard for me ^__^;;

Details? Alright

Any song is welcome. Any genre and any length of the song. Make whatever you want. I won't be too strict when judging, but I won't allow crappy simfiles to pass. I also got help from two friends when judging.

Deadline for submitting simfiles will be 6 weeks forward. You can send in max 10 songs per person, and max 3 songs from each person can be with (except for me 8) ). I plan on releasing it in about 2-3 months.

When submitting a simfile, banner/background/cdtitle is A MUST. Songs without any of these will not be accepted. If you're bad at making cdtitles, I can make one for you but it will be a plain one with only your name and no figure in it.

Other stuff.

1: A song with only one difficulty must be a +10 footer and over 3 minutes long.
2: A song that is shorter than 3 minutes must have at least two difficultys.
3: A song with no banner/background will not be allowed.
4: A song over 5 minutes (marathon) will be judged stricter due to that people may lack the will to make it good at the end.
5: Any songs that is submitted after 20 August will not be accepted.

I'll be traveling away this sunday (6th July) and will be gone to early August, so you got plenty of time unless you also have traveled away.

I'm gonna send this as a Private Message to everyone too.

You can say it pretty much turned into a joined project.
Since we've known each other for a long while it ended up in some sort of challenge who could make the best one..
And after that realised we had like 55 seconds of that 1 minute identical xD

You may want to look at my own file (http://www.bemanistyle.com/sims/simfile.php?id=26742) to understand more of my complaint below. The file is for pad which limits the extent to which I can step certain close sounds before becoming physically impossible, but it's definitely got a better sense of rhythm than your file.


Posted on bms, will post here too:
Please upload the SM file in the future so people can preview the chart before dl. The one, 8 footer chart: rainbow arrows = bad. All those arrows should only be red, blue, and yellow, as they should all fall on 4th, 8th, and 16th beats. There are no ubiquitous funky 32nds or 12ths or 24ths in the song, so adjust your offset. Also, I thought I read on MAL that there would be an instrumental layer: I don't see it. This is way too karaoke for even a Pad chart, let alone KB.
