Stepping Stones of Stepmania released!

Re: Stepping Stones of Stepmania released!

Sannin No Dragon Slayer has an incorrectly named banner and background. Someone might want to make a sweep to make sure every file is paired correctly.

Re: Stepping Stones of Stepmania released!

I see that. A few of them aren't up to snuff. The graphics are all there but the files don't have the paths in them. I'll fix them up and re-release.

EDIT: Wow there are actually some with paths to graphics that don't exist.

Re: Stepping Stones of Stepmania released!

Faint is fun as fuck, holy shit

will report back after playing more files

Re: Stepping Stones of Stepmania released!

A Broken Heart Can Mend - really chill file, great for practicing hands and 24th bursts. pretty fun

Across The Nightmare - fun! once it got to all of the solos it got pretty interesting.

Adept - really sexy, even if it takes a while to get going. maybe a little hard for beginners (side-eyeing the 24th trill and the 32nds)

Always Yours - see above. super fun - this is basically Chiptune Superstar's cuter little cousin - but gets a little intense near the end

Blah Blah Blah - just show me where your dick is aaaaaattttt (ps I actually prefer the easier chart a little)

Clumsy Thoughts - this file makes me so happy. it's just so cute

Daybreak - beautiful. i teared. Fission makes fantastic piano files

Faint - YES. ALL OF IT. it's more geared towards intermediate players in my view, but still fun as fuck.

Favorite Daughter - short and sweet. not a particularly technical file, but the flow throughout feels okay. jacks at the end are a nice attempt at climax theory, but perhaps inappropriate in the context of a beginners' file - or maybe completely appropriate since they'll give people motivation to play through again!

Feel The Flow - holy fuck Kaneh this is really fun - the minijacks going to the drums in particular made me bounce up and down in my seat. gets a little hard near the end

Flower Flag - not as fun as Feel The Flow but still solid. nice layering choices, nice rhythms

Re: Stepping Stones of Stepmania released!

Moochikins I'm curious, since you have been playing through them, which files are missing their gfx? I am currently down for the count - my hdd failed and its going to be a while before I can get a new one. So my earlier statement about fixing them up is now null and void. When I looked at the pack I went through the folder, not through stepmania. I hadn't installed it yet since my hdd was just starting to act up

Re: Stepping Stones of Stepmania released!

Hmm, everything has graphics on my end!

Re: Stepping Stones of Stepmania released!

no one makes easy charts

Re: Stepping Stones of Stepmania released!

Beebs

Re: Stepping Stones of Stepmania released!

Re: Stepping Stones of Stepmania released!

more fieesslllsss

Forbidden Tracks - played this already, it's good but probably geared more towards intermediate players than beginners

Galactic Encounter - to be honest, I did not get the ending of the Challenge chart at all. those jacks are hell on the hands. Heavy was better if a bit generic - the song's fault, really, since you did an okay job with what was there. I am very glad you made all five charts for this file, but a little polishing would have gone a long way with this one.

Ganryu - short but amazingly fun and unique, superb

Hajimari No Resolution - short but pretty sweet, a lot more dynamic than I was expecting. good rhythms throughout, good patterns (even if you didn't follow PR - that's really more of a technical nitpick since this still flowed quite well for the most part.

Horizon Variations - HOLY FUCK I HEARD THE SAMPLE MUSIC ABOUT TEN TIMES but I just realized this is the same melody in goreshit's o'er the flood HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT. also very good file

I Don't Care (Reggae Mix) -


ps Heavy's a lot harder than Standard

Kirlian Voyager - see Forbidden Tracks. I should also mention that I attempted to step this once when I was a wee 13-year-old. I'm glad somebody finally succeeded.

Lion Skin - that color note motif whenever the rhythms switch up is so so cool, very colorful and creative. one note: when crafting beginner files, make sure to give the players a little space to breathe with your patterns. try not to force consecutive 16th jacks when there are jumps, and careful with your mine placement! otherwise, this is cool and fun.

Melody Circus - fun file, lots of variation throughout. a couple of aesthetic things bothered me: a few freezes could have been shorter considering the overall mood of the file (light, playful), a few times you had bursts that felt a bit abrupt and would have flowed more smoothly with different patterns (perhaps a bit of jack theory would have worked nicely here), and there were a few notes that came right after freezes. I guess overall, pattern planning is key! but I'm being pedantic, this was a very fun file.
