also you still making that halcyon heavy chart or am i doing it lol

[mi40]

if you want to do it feel free to do so
if not, i'll do it before pack's released

[stargroup100]

what happened to virus >:c

[mi40]

did you send a new version?

or did we agree on not cutting it

if you dont want to cut the file can go into the pack as-is since the charts themselves are fantastic

[rCaliberGX]

Banned again lol

Sent my Eclipse file. A single Heavy 11, cut to 2:35 long.

[stargroup100]

i didn't send new version

I didn't want to cut but I think you guys were still debating whether it was necessary or not

[rCaliberGX]

vertex delta

also mi40 if you can see this, review over email c:

[mi40]

ello we're still in the running

reviews for newest files and new acceptances (old files) will be up after i come back from dinner today!!

[rCaliberGX]

Whoops forgot to send my file. 1 chart, but if you need an easier one that's fine.

[mi40]

(v1) Vertex Delta TRUE (rCaliberGX) - needs easy chart

- song is good but feels pretty heavy since it's got a lot of jumpstreamy stuff
- an easier chart is desperately needed, idk how to handle this kind of song though
let me know if you do decide to make an easier chart, look through like.. community keyboard megapack 1, 2 and stuff like that .. old (<2009) easy charts




(v2) This Will Be the Day [James Landino Remix] (rCaliberGX) - accept

- very good, but tone down the holds
holds are still too much, ruins the gameplay for this kind of song (i get what you're doing with the vocals but they are obnoxiously hard to hit and makes the song less fun)




(v1) GAIA (rparty89) - needs easy chart

- 180bpm stream, jumpstream and the occasional 4 note 180bpm 16th jack is not what this pack is looking for..
song is good - if you can somehow make an easier chart this will be great
look at files from like 2006 era (keyboard collaborations, community keyboard megapacks) to get a good idea on how to handle songs like this.. you don't have to step every sound (for an easier chart anyways)



(final ver) Favorite Daughter (Lemm!!!) - accept

ty for sending final ver this is good



(v1) Eclipse (rCaliberGX) - rejected

- go easy on the holds man, esp the beginning - they fade out a lot earlier than you think
- wow this is a lot harder than it looks, the problem with this song is that it begins and ends with really slow stuff but gets very fast in the middle.. i dont think this song can work out with our pack since it drags on during the start and end..



(v1) Light House (bmou) - accept only with 1 more easier chart

- both charts are on intermed level (160bpm+), i think an easier chart would be great
- feels a lot like valor's light house in odi3 but i guess if you make an easier chart then the file's fit for this pack
- check sync, i think it might be off by a tiny bit

Vertex Delta: Was sorta expecting this given the way I stepped it (melody on jumps) but yeah I get what you mean. I originally had 3 charts, with the current heavy chart being the hardest, but I scrapped the other 2. They basically were the same thing, but the layering on the jumps was watered down. I could make another chart with this type of layering.

TWBTD: About holds, do you mean the layering, or the lengths? I admit, before the 2nd verse the hold usage does get a bit hectic (my own messed up version of climax theory). On vocals, I noticed this too when I was playtesting. It feels weird to hit the notes when they're exact, but it does actually play better when they're quantized and have a uniform rhythm.

I guess they're just problems with song choice. The full version is about a minute longer, but most of it is the beginning and end repeated twice, so I tried to cut it out. I tried cutting more of it, but it brings it down to about 1:50-ish and most of the song is the slow beginning anyway, and the faster portion isn't long enough to be by itself.

anger

[mi40]

if you can halve the length of all holds in this will be the day then that would make it play better

can still feel the hold+vocals without ruining gameplay

and vertex delta an easier chart with bare bones structure (kind of like old files from like 2004-2006) would be great

eclipse yeah, song choice issue, mid part can't stand alone

[rCaliberGX]

Sent v2 of Vertex Delta. I just removed a hold and added another chart. Oni is the old Heavy.

i'll revise TWBTD later, going to bed now (@ 5am rofl)
