KEVIN_18 SIMS

[hi19hi19]

By the way Kevin I said your cd title was better, not the graphics. I honestly can say I liked dballin's Cold Breath banner and bg more.

To be honest I haven't played any of your files yet

*reads all of the tread*

In case all of you are too stupid to find this out, here it is in plain English:

NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY, KEVIN18 WILL NOT STOP MAKING THESE SIMS
If you don't like them, don't play them and let this tread be for people who can give Kev some real feedback/ praise for his work. Like me, he does not have too many friends and if he's anything like me he doesnt give a damn about your rants so give us some peace.

Lets just face it guys, kevin is retarded, he doesn't want to listen to advice because he is closed-minded. He thinks his simfiles need no work, he feels he is "original" and because he has a small fanbase which includes "MixMasterLar[hahahahaha]" that his simfiles actually have some merit.

The guy is hanging on to false hope and there is nothing we can do to make him realise that he could actually be good if he took more time over each individual simfile. Ohwell.

yeah, i'm pretty sure nobody has, but they're obviously not going to be very good

[Bursurk_Lurk]

Hey kevin

If I tried out some your sims and gave you unbiased constructive criticism, would you listen to it?

[Kevin_18]

Sure, I'd be happy to listen to a person who gives me atleast 1 positive comment . Plus a well known sim maker giving me advice would be great.

I never recall saying the following "as it keeps me from commiting suicide." The rest is fine though.

[TheRapingDragon]

I do feel that if you were deprived of Stepmania and simfile making that you would contemplate suicide on the basis that you have nothing in your life of worth or happiness.

Also, in response to your "I'll listen to constructive criticism" point:

You don't just decide to put a stream in a file and call it good. If you can't tell where the notes are, just slow it down and use assist tick.

o more then most people in this thread, to be certain. Sorry if I sound like I'm coming too harsh on you or anything, I'm just suggesting that a more flowing stepping style might make your files more popular. Give it a go?

Black UFO: 16ths everywhere that don't flow. Plus, "copied From" = fail.
In The Sky: Are there supposed to be 12th and 32nd notes here and there? Just looking at the notechart and following the mp3 here, but maybe you should slow down to at least x0.5 to make sure. I don't think it should be like that.

the stream doesn't flow at all and the random 16ths are inconsistent as hell

Ok listen, what you should do is:

1. Keep making files, don't release them.
2. When you think you've made a really awesome file, IM/PM some moderately well known people if they would like to test the file for you, and give you constructive criticism.
3. Take their feedback and work on anything that wasn't good and try your best to make it better.
4. After fixing your file, get some good graphics (I'll make you some graphics for the file IF, the file is good), and release it.

Uhh, yeah, hope that helps.

Like I said earlier, your sims would be passable (not necessarily good, but okay) if you had the right BPM. You should never have to offset the steps 1/4th of a beat because they're off unless the music drops 1/4th of the beat. If you're having to do that, chances are your BPM is wrong. You should find a better, more accurate method of finding the BPM than what you do now.

Try focusing more on quality control rather than trying to get as many sims out there as possible to make yourself known.


It's better to be known as a decent sim author for one really good simfile you released, than as a crappy one who's released like tons of really crappy ones.

Try spending more time playing good files and less time making bad ones. Come back to making files when you have a clue how to make fun/interesting/on-beat steps. I'm sorry to be so blunt but it seems you haven't understood this when 10+ people told you in a more polite fasion.

I'm sorry to be so blunt, but you've gotten plenty of proactive feedback but, you just don't seem to take the advice and roll with it. You need to learn this. Also, instead of making so many files, Spend more time just making one.

Put more than one days effort into making files. Try to find a song that has interesting beats/sounds rather than just a song that sounds good (that doesn't mean you can't step good music, it just means that it's a lower priority). There are already enough simfiles out there. If we wanted more, we would want them to be of good quality.

How much criticism do you need. Seriously man I feel like unless someone says they like your file you just put up a mental block and go "la la la my files are good I can't hear you". Try actually reading what people are saying before acting like a dumbass.

[Kevin_18]

I didn't say I was wanting to hear from you, Blurk is the one that offered to give me advice and he's the only one so far that I'd like to hear from. Sorry you wasted your time on all that quoteing.

I actually look forward to reading this topic everyday

sup blurk

[MixMasterLar]

Kevin, as one of your fans, I'll like to ask you to read the quotes in RapingDragon's post. If you ignore the 'dumbass' thing, then there are some good tips that everyone can use.

Dont let the bad lead you from the good, I had to find that out the hard way in life....

thread should have ended here

you guys are retarded

[Bursurk_Lurk]

You should concentrate more on making 1 really good file instead of making 80 mediocre ones. Listen to all criticism you recieve.

[Kevin_18]

I finally listened to some of the advice and took my time on this simfile, I hope it gets good comments on it. I think it's alot better than my usual work. It runs around 4:33 in length, the longest simfile I've ever made.

[Yesssss]

It is better than what you normally put out, but to be honest, it still wasn't that good.

There were some 16ths that you didn't step, repetetive steps (8th jumpstream), and there were some steps that didn't go to any beat (although few).

The only redeeming quality of the file is the freeze usage was done well.

[Patashu]

I still think you should make The Rock Show v2.
