Xoon 6 Submissions Open

[kommisar]

SEND SUBMISSIONS HERE: lightchancellors@gmail.com

This isn't another joke Xoon 6 pack, I'm dead serious. Since Solo Rulz 2 is done, I have all kinds of time to commit to a new project. I'm not one to throw a pack away either.

In a time where all kinds of packs are running (4 of them) and lurker's pack kicking the bucket, I decided it's time to make a pack that reaches out to all audiences. Yes, I mean fully charted files. Don't let this discourage you though; I'm looking for top quality files. Unlike more recent packs, the requirements will be a little stricter. I'm also looking for a few judges who wouldn't mind helping out (3-4 ideally). Fully charted files will reach out to all audiences and being a little more demanding for quality will hopefully ensure more replayable files. If your file has potential, I'd be more than happy to help make suggestions for improving it.

Rules

-Song length must be over 1:30 and under 5:00.
-Songs must have 4 mandatory charts. The only exception I'm making is if your hardest difficulty is 9nps or lower, then 3 total charts is acceptable.
-320kbps/ogg format songs only. NO VBR.
-This is primarily a keyboard pack, but it's encouraged to have pad/index files as the easier difficulties. Your main expert chart should be a keyboard chart.
-You may send an expert only simfile as a placeholder, but if by the end of submissions your accepted chart doesn't have easier charts made, it will be removed. I'm not chasing people around for these.
-Unreleased files only. Strictly unreleased.
-GFX must be 512x160 for banner and 800x600 for background (background I'll accept larger sizes though, as long as the banner is the size specified).
-If your file is 14 nps or more, I'll be asking for an extra easier chart, so 5 charts total.
-Difficulty ratings will be using [N]otes [P]er [S]econd.
-Limit 3 submissions per person. Choose your files wisely. You may replace your submissions at any time if requested. I'll allow one extra file from one person who has reached the cap if it's a collab. Only one.

i saw xoon and i am so very hard right now

might actually make a proper stepman file for this, woah

ps: if not, you already know im down to be part of the gfx crew

edit: i find the 2 submissions per person to be a pretty swell idea. encourages diversity not a kommi x gd x whateverthefuck minipack (which, in itself, doesnt sound like a bad pack hehe)

[blindreper1179]

God damn four mandatory charts. O_o I might have something...... Hopefully. =(

[NeoMasterPie]

I have a few songs I'm thinking about stepping, but I only have sub-320kbps mp3s. I could re-create the same mp3s at 320kbps, but obviously the quality wouldn't actually improve. what's your take here?

with pad charts and keyboard charts possibly included in the same simfiles, what scale for difficulty rating should be used?

[kommisar]

to answer ya questions:

1. I'd have to listen to them. I'd rather it be of decent quality.

2. I thought about that, and I think NPS would still work best. It translates nicely to pad files iirc.








My two files I have planned for this:


Paul Bazooka - OrBiTal (XMOD)

and one of the following 4 depending on which one screams at me the most:

Chibi-Tech - Moe Moe Kyunstep part II

Danimal Cannon - Gorelax

USK - I AM A FUKOKA RAVER

ETIA. - Lost Love

[NeoMasterPie]

lets each make 1 easy chart for disco rangers lmao

[Arntonach]

Does this mean I can put rolls in my simfiles?

[kommisar]

absolutely.

[Razor]

o fuck

[eastsideman09]

Four fucking charts.

I guess I'll add some to Shook, that should be easy enough.
As much as I want Wolfgang's 5th in a pack, I don't know if I can make three more charts for it. slkdfjsa;ldkfjas

[xVaLoRx]

Can I send in The Funk Is and 2nd Zero Fidelity Mandible Investigation as placeholders for now? I will make more charts for both songs and extend 2nd zero fidelity etc

[i love you]

HOLY SHIT...YES

I must submit...

[Gundam-Dude]

judge and art director gfx coordinator plz

[kommisar]

i'll put you down as pack savior


send whatever placeholder files you want now, i'll add them to the judging queue

[AlexDest]

i could judge

but then i'd have to put my retro smash pack on hold :'(

i'm planning 2 simfiles for this pack (they may be replaced):

SUPERBUS - All Alone (Seven Lions Remix)

cosMo@Bousou-P - neu BSP style

[Arntonach]

Put me down for gfx too. Lord knows I need to let a little loose in there.
