Hello world! If you clicked the correct link, then yes, you ARE looking at a soon-to-be released stepmania pack which contains anywhere from wicked fast streams, intermediate level jacks, to jumpstreams and sometimes even overall insane rainbow dump. I want this pack to be difficult but fun/rewarding when songs are completed. I need help from YOU to help make this pack awesome. The only problem is, I need some input on some things. First, let's explain what the pack is:

ABOUT THE PACK

--THIS IS A PRACTICE/TEST OF WILL PACK. That is, this pack is meant to push limits without being blatantly impossible. Most packs can't effectively cater to everyone and still be rich with content. That being said, this pack is meant to be a very difficult (mid D5 to D7+ level) set of songs. Many songs focus on the "can I pass this?" factor, which ranges depending on the player. There are a few easier files in the pack, so don't be discouraged to try the pack. REMEMBER: RATE MODS EXIST! USE THEM FOR PRACTICE! (tentative difficulty breakdown below)


--It is meant to be a pack inspired by icyworld's packs, rebound's packs, and midare's packs. That means the files generally test you on fast and dense jumpstreams, awkward patterns, fast streams, polyrhythms, jacks, transitions, and of course accuracy. so basically everything a file could consist of lel. These files generally have a specific focus on one or two of the previously stated techniques, as the pack is meant to be difficult in specific areas.

--The pack consists of a wide variety of music types, including (not limited to) video games, FFR, metal, breakcore/speedcore, remixes, and even some from the radio. (tentative track listing below)

CURRENT INFO
(currently) = As of 8-8-13
--(currently) It is around 60 files
--(currently) 5 are a work in progress/need overhauls
--(currently) gfx in about half of the files, not trying too hard with this
--Pack to be released September 6th

DIFFICULTY BREAKDOWN
I will use some key words to describe the difficulties and songs:
DUMPFILE - literally the hardest of hardpain in the pack. notes don't match, snaps are higher than they should be, absolute rainbow
OVERSTEPPED - the song has some correctly stepped parts, but some of the more dense parts are completely overstepped to add to difficulty/fun factor
TECH DUMP - the song feels and almost plays like a dumpfile; this is because the song is so erratic when stepped correctly/technically.
OTHER KEYWORDS - like "jacks, streams, jumpgluts" - just generally describe the focus of practice

grand idea. Need another stepman gym type pack. if you need any help, playtesting or anything really, lemme know <3

ps, more genre's of music to broaden out to others, would be a good idea.

[FissionMailed1]

As cedo said, waaayyy too muck breakcore.

[mi40]

are all those 42 songs your files? if so just release as d4u's hardpain pack lol

[j-rodd123]

dumppacks MUST have lots of songs from the radio/top40 dumps etc cuz those make the best/most replayable files imo

I love this mentality -- agree with it 100%, haha.

[Wayward Vagabond]

No one wants to play a terrible file to a song that isn't equally terrible

[mi40]

This was actually the initial plan, but then I figured; what if I let other people join in as well, and we have the largest dump pack/hardpain in the history of history??!?!?!/1//1/ffuu

Exactly, which is why songs like Let Me Blow Ya Mind, Crazy for this girl, and Doin time were recently stepped. A lot of the other files I made were actually prior to this, and some are actually so early they're kinda easy. I don't exactly wanna throw them out because they aren't crazy hard, because some of them will be fun for mid level players (or we can use rate mods weeee)

I hope people are interested enough to get some radio shit on here.
If you are interested in stepping radio dumpfiles/have a song suggestion, please post!!!

this

Also I have a file to send, it's not too hard but it's probably harder than most JS files in NBJS with the exception of Fleshgod Apocalypse shit

I hardly have any, so yes, that'd be great! I added my email to send to at the top

Sure, send them to the email at the top! I also agree that some files can be dumps even if they arent terrible mainstream shit, but they do seem to come out better sometimes. That's kind of why plenty of my files are labelled as tech dumps, which are dumpfiles due to the song itself

I'd be honored :') to the email at the top yo!

Oh shit and you <333 jacks, dont you? You'll fucking love TDNE then, I passed it with a B a few times so it's quite the challenge

gonna check out your file soon, I'm pretty lenient about what goes in the pack as long as its fun and pretty difficult, so you can expect to see it in the pack

[mi40]

why not just title it swirling toilet bowl of glorious dumps vol. 2 tho
