Default Lofty x Mina Pre-Minty 2 [Official] Partial Release?





banner for dl.

ey

Not really too involved here anymore, but Minty 2 is still a foreseeable thing. Mina is on a little hiatus, and I've been tapping in DDream on my free time...

Long story short, to tease the idea of new shit, I've decided to give you guys 14 files of mine, and 4 of Mina's (all of which will appear in the official release of Minty 2). They are pretty much polished--though some might be tinkered with if you guys detest something in particular.

What you should do:
Play the pack
Post scores here
Give Feedback/Bitch about my jack usage (Mina told me specifically that he'd like some for Rock Lobster)

I didn't include anyone else's files in this prereleaseoficcidnfk nonsense cause I don't know how people feel about prereleases.

*To be clear, I don't think that my files represent the best that Minty 2 has to offer. You guys will have to wait for the GOUD CONTENT*

SONG LIST
Bucurie de Floare
Ce s-a īntāmplat cu noi
Chill Bill
Don't You Want Me (REVAMP)
Emperor's New
Female President
Los Vino
Mahmure
Medlenno
Ochki Sobchak
Really Doe
Renee's Iphone OP
Rock Lobster
Sally's Dance (REVAMP)
SOS
Swing
Telephone
Vatstep DSP

ALSO, ALSO, TELL ME IF MY SUBTITLE GAME IS STILL ON

I like these dude, they're organic deviations from the coldly calculated designs of accepted theory. Full release when?

ok so I played all the files in the pack and there are a few things I want to say:
1. these files are all quite fun (except bucurie as this weird combination of oh trills and jacks doesn't really do it for me)
2. some of the transitions into the [14] jacks in los vinos feel pretty weird
3. really doe was really fun (probably my fav file) except you should've stepped earl's verse the 123hold thing felt really out of place and I couldn't really tell why you put that there instead of something more interesting
4. maybe I just suck but the polys in telephone felt way harder than anything else in the file. I could manage pretty much everything else (on .8 lol) but the polys were quite difficult
5. rock lobster is really cool (i really like jack dumps) but i feel like the flam things get kinda repetitive and almost feel quite mindblockable although idk what else could go there

That said, I really enjoyed this and can't wait for the full release

yeah i wasnt happy with the overuse of flams in rock lobster but i figured it could go out with this batch to see if anyone else had feedbacks on other parts

telephone started purely as "wouldnt it be hilarious to have 16th jacks to the dial tones and then throw polys everywhere at the same time and figure out the rest of the file later" and for better or worse that's what i did

I'm usually not serious on this site, but aight fine

Thanks, man. I wouldn't have said it so eloquently, but that's pretty much where I'm coming from as a simfile author.

Some would probably argue that to chart dump files is to inherently believe in this deviation, but over time I've seen (been playing this game for over 10 years now) that dump charting has now formed its own set of "accepted theory" that I think is contrary to that which is exemplary in the old guys' (midare, knoobish, bmx, mina et al) stuff. This accepted dump theory, I have perceived, is to release dumps which are easily scored upon and rated to push a players speed, which I think detracts from file character in a way that is unfun (this is really just an opinion, so, take this with a grain of salt.)

When I first really started to enjoy the game, it was because of the turn-of-the-head moments that I would often have in-game while playing these old midare pack files--moments that created a file identity outside of the song and its elements and revealed aspects of character in the stepfile author himself.

That's what I have and always will seek to strive for. People should know when a file is a lofty file the same way that someone should know something is a mina file or a skwid file. That isn't to say that technical charters don't have identities themselves, but I think it comes out more through their song choices (I'll always be able to recognize a Scintill, Wayward, or James May file just because they created their identity largely through the music). <3 u guys keep charting stuff pls.

My files are polarizing because I do what I want based on my own views of coherence and artistry.

Tldr
I create my identity through tapping out arrows when I'm drunk,
and I enjoy files when the music compliments the patterns, not when the patterns compliment the music.


Release date: in the future

@Flossy
Thanks for tapping through this thing m8
While I can't say much about your analysis of Bucurie, as you have a pattern bias for what the file is essentially all about,
I will absolutely address the transitions in los vino. Still on the fence with the hold 1 2 3 patterns in really doe. I'll think about it.

Also, Earl's verse is my fav too, I just have a hard time getting through songs hahaha

I'm going to be streaming my own play-through today, writing down thoughts in a word doc. It's got two new files in it so far, and some small edits to the others files.

If you guys want to stay updated with my files for the minty 2 pack I can periodically send refresher links on here?

posting in here cause cba to properly update the other thread atm

@cbr - file made me smile--love the song choice, really cool offset note stream idea in the verse, and yes please continue with the 8th jack motif u had goin at the end I was sad when the file ended at that point -lofty


@flossy - I want to see more with the intro. However, I was pleasantly surprised by your tasteful and unique pattern choices throughout. Like, actually--some great shit. Try not to abuse copy pasta, tho. Also, its always a smart idea to take a run through the whole file a couple more times and fine tune some little patterns here and there. I want the whole file to give me the impression I felt at your best--Otherwise, good shit. Definitely swimmin' in the pool -lofty
