FFR Community Pack Summer 2011 (Submissions Open)

[Gundam-Dude]

I'm going to be blunt and honest but both sets are generic and bad. Keep in mind I have high standards and I care more about type than backgrounds (I'm majoring in graphic design and I'm all about typography). Nobody cares about GFX unless you're me or a design snob so I'm just going to include both sets. Errybody wins etc.

Like LCP3, whenever I've gotten enough files for a release, lol

[who_cares973]

cool, im stepping an 8 minute long scar symmetry solo medley(isaac knows) so i just wanted to make sure i'll have enough time to finish it. hopefully submission slows down and i'll have time to finish it then xd

[Mithost]

Yes, I really want to be part of this pack so I really hope It doesn't close before I can finish. I won't rush (because rushed files usually end up horrible D: ), but I will keep in mind that there is a time limit. x.x

Also, any tips for the Beginner and Medium Charts? What can the newbies do and what can't they do? I don't want to make the newbie chart just be bursts of hard stuff xD

[xferrarix]

@mithost: Play my Engine Room, because that's one of the easiest files I've released to date that had good reviews in the past if I remember correctly or ie any of my Mario Party files if you have them which I doubt since I lost them myself

If you have any other packs look at the lower rated files. The difficulty depends on the song mostly so if you're going to step an "easy" file make sure the song is fit for it

[Mithost]

You can layer in beginner songs? LOL

Anyways, I found a half finished hard chart that was pretty good, so I am touching that up and I'll add a challenge and an easy, maybe a medium if it looks like I have enough time.

standard design procedure nowadays is to use helvetica first and then try other fonts if it doesnt work out

like go through all the variations -- bold, italic, underline, etc

Idk, all I meant is to choose something and stick to it throughout the whole song, maybe the word "layering" was too much :P In my humble opinion, It's easier to step to step in that order:

Heavy
Medium
Challenge
Easy
Beginner

I can't quite explain it, I think it just works. On heavy, I usually try to step it as clean as possible. On medium, I copy the heavy chart, remove a few notes and see if that is enough (otherwise, I work some more on it, but usually, that can do the trick). Then, step a dirty version of your heavy file, go crazy. And then... Go easy. lawl. I don't know, maybe I'm giving too much thought into this.


Also,
Holy crap, you guys are talented.

I especially prefer the background, gorgeous. I don't care of it captures the true essence of the song or whatever, that thing looks NOICE.

Oh by the way, welcome to the forums, man. Awesome first post.

[wwplpmpn]

thanks man

i discovered stepmania more than a year ago and that's pretty much how long i've been following the community lol

[Loutre]

People aren't paying attention to me. This is highly unfortunate.


Fine. I'll make something for this pack. Give me a few months. It might be another Fighting of the Spirit remix.

[Kraezymann]

I gave Kommi my set that I made for Alex sry guys

[Gundam-Dude]

Using Kraezymann's set as the main one. Crisis averted.

xmods, mike, xmods. And I thought of adding your Secret Santa chart as an oni, because my chart is way easier than yours.

I actually understand that fairly well. Heavy can easily translate into Medium because not much changes in the player's ability other than the fact that there are less breaks and more jumps. Challenge usually incorporates new patterns, faster streams, etc etc, so it can't really be dumbed down for heavy. Challenge could go anywhere in the order as long as it isn't first (or else the rest of your charts will be dumbed down versions of it).

Ughh, this is taking forever. Any tips to making these things faster without losing quality of the file?
