Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!

[t-rogdor]

i can fix it myself, just kinda wonderin
why
it's not like having those lil 0.05 changes to the bpm hinders anything

[rCaliberGX]

inb4 colour notes

edit: bpm flux is only really bad on long songs because it kills fps over time for some reason, i personally think it's not too horrible on short songs.

[t-rogdor]

ooooo right everyone still uses that one glitchy as hell 3.95 mod that drops FPS every time there's a bpm change or pause. it's been so long since I actually played anything I forgot about that

nvm then i got it

i'm pretty sure the bpm flux messes with sm5 too but i'll let someone else confirm/deny that

[Wafles]

I think it does but generally is less noticeable? Better to just fix it anyway.

There's only one possible explanation for this: Icy sent tentacles to skwid and wafles

[SKG_Scintill]

honestly, is it worse than the second file I sent?

icy found something really interesting to step and i dont think ive ever seen another song like it in stepmania, its a dump file though

the alchemist is a weird song, god damn that difficulty spike towards the end looks intense


reviews hopefully on Thursday? I dont wanna fall behind so I'll try and get this batch reviewed pretty quick

[SKG_Scintill]

so like I found some amazing musicians because of The Alchemist
guys, step stuff by Ray Riendeau and Alex Argento pl0x

[Wafles]

Reviews aren't too terribly detailed because we actually have no conditionals this time, makes my life easier heh

[10Dollar] DISCHARGE RUSH - Accepted
Song is nothing to write home about but this is a solid fast handstream chart, pretty challenging and unique compared to the rest of the pack so far, also cool to see more foreigners submit

[SonicX] 2A-Attack - Rejected
Song is too long and stale to really be interesting, your steps are mostly okay aside from some bad 32nd patterns but I think this is mostly fault of the song choice. Was bored even before the song was half done, so yeah, this isn't gonna work for us sorry.

[IcyWorld] Aranjuez - Accepted
We've accepted dumps in the past for yolomanias but I think moving forward we're really only looking to accept truly unique and interesting dumpy files for the regular packs and this fits the bill. I actually put a lot of thought into whether or not to hold this off for yolo dumps but I feel like this chart is just too good to put in what is inevitably a more obscure pack. Also holy fuck this is way harder than I thought it would be. Dat stamina. Cool addition, I look forward to seeing what other people think about this one as well.

On that note, I want people to be aware that we did take the "no dump files" rule out of this pack (Yolo 2 had that rule). Based on the typical demographic that downloads these packs I don't think anyone is going to be offended. Also we really only are going to be willing to accept a couple, and they have to be unique and interesting songs (more generic dump songs can be sent to the next yolo dumps, like pop songs, etc..)

[Zephei] Bullets Over Brainwaves - Accepted
Pretty standard affair for a Terminal 11 file, its well done and has some crazy technical parts and intense bursts. Definitely in.

[Scintill] Keep it Greasy - Accepted
Super fun. I'm a fan. Not much to say about this one other than that, its every bit as good as I'd expect a Scintill file to be and once again you've stepped something unique that most other people wouldn't touch.

[Scintill] The Alchemist - Accepted
I gotta be honest I was worried I'd get bored of this strictly because of the song choice but the rythms in this kept me interested and were fun even in the slower sections. The crazy intense bursts at the end actually were so hard they ruined my AA. This file puts on a mask of being easier than it is, that's for sure. Glad to have this one in as well.


Amazing submissions this time around. I'm getting super excited about the general quality of this pack, and its turning out a LOT different than our previous efforts. Keep em' coming!

I will update OP later tonight, I think we're at about 40 files now.

[Wafles]

Here's a bunch of previews because I decided to record and upload these instead of updating the OP, I'll do that tomorrow or something

Song is too long

So, what's the song length limit? Because I would send a song with ~14min length.

There is no limit, but the longer a song is, the more interesting and varied it should be. Generally long songs are only acceptable if they are highly interesting (see Scintill files, like Moonlight Densetsu in yolo 2) or challenging stamina files to an interesting song (Katayoku no Tori in yolo 1 comes to mind). For me to accept a 14 minute file it would have to be damn good.

I see... well, I need check this 14min length song and I'll send it.
