New Otaku's Dream Mix Submissions Open

[EvilDoRuk]

Sup

I'm taking submissions for a new ODMix pack with no definite name as of yet.

The official thread can be found here: http://www.otakusdream.com/forums/in...p?topic=2876.0

The requirements for this pack are as follows:

- 1 file per author. Additional files may be taken in cases where the first simfile is exceptionally good.
- Files should be intended for keyboard-play of mid-high level. Please step multiple difficulties if your primary chart is not beginner-friendly.
- Files should not have been made public anywhere else.
- Song must be of Asian origin, from a videogame, or be considered weebish.
- Audio file must be MP3 with a constant bitrate of 192. This is a light-weight pack.
- Backgrounds must be 800x600 and banners should be 512x160. (disclaimer: they may be replaced).
- #CREDIT yourself.

Please upload to mediafire and email me at 5hamei0f0takusdream@gmail.com (Yes, those are numbers for each new unique word.)

Alternatively, you can message me the mediafire link on the OD forums (Fat Shamei)

Pack will total around 20 files, and the deadline is November 24th. Release is scheduled for the beginning of December.

Many thanks.

I hope it will be at least somewhat decent, but without submissions it won't be anything at all. :'(

Yeah, so there's like 5 days left for this.

My goal of revitalising stepmania to some degree has been thoroughly crushed so far.

Why are you using mp3 rather than ogg when trying to use low bitrates? 192kbps mp3's are audibly worse than the source, whereas you need to know what you're listening for/have hard to encode audio with the same bitrate ogg.

[EvilDoRuk]

StepMania is/was bad at handling ogg, and 192 kbps mp3 is a perfectly reasonable quality for stepmania. This is coming from someone who hoards flacs.

If Stepmania handled other formats better and I wanted to be really anal about size and quality, I would just tell people to use AAC+ at 64kbps. Unfortuntely that's not an option.
