Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!

Re: Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!

I believe MacGravel tried to start one a while back but it didn't really go anywhere because not a lot of people seem to put in the effort to trick their files completely out with good BPM gimmicks.

Re: Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!




Didn't really work too well.

Re: Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!

An xmod pack has been more recently released by TC_Halogen, but I haven't really seen people playing and posting scores from that pack. Making a pack or a tournament won't bring interest if there aren't going to be many participants.
You'll have to change the entire mindset of xmod playing if you want to see something happen, and right now the mindset is, "Not many people play xmods, they are specialty files that'll only cater to a few, and it is not expected that interest will be garnered beyond that." Think you can change those tides? I'd like to myself, but I'm not sure how to either. As for everyone else, they seem pretty comfortable with 4k...

It's probably due to a difference in effort for both making xmod files AND playing xmod files. The outcome of an xmod file can be incredibly neat, but it's not gratifying enough to the masses. Those are my 2c.

Re: Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!

look forward to this

Re: Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!

Might send Mudkip after fixing it later today, and maybe making a dump out of Crasher-Vania but that's debatable and completely unsure of doing. Might also finish Punishment (the one I linked back in yolo2) but gotta fix up a list of files I may or may not send to this pack (kinda like how I'm doing for vgmp4) so welp, expect that later today.

Re: Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!

sent Edward Elric (har har)

Re: Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!

inb4 150 files at release

Re: Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!

well the one I just sent is a cut version of an already accepted file which is quite long
I just think this makes it more playable

Re: Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!

Scintill- Funny thing is we were actually considering including both short and long versions for several other charts in the pack. From our perspective we didn't really see any negative to including short versions along side their longer versions but maybe we just didn't think of anything. Any thoughts?

Re: Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!

well if it isn't the only one, I guess it's fine

Re: Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!

Sent something... This pack is still alive right?

Re: Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!

Re: Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!

Yeah Tuesday is the soonest I can get to reviews this time. Sorry for the delay. They will happen on Tuesday for sure though.

Re: Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!

As promised, reviews!

[oldCartoon] Little Star - Accepted
Super catchy songs and fun JS patterns. Can't really go wrong here.

[T0M] Existance - Accepted
Neat chart with a lot of cool stuff going for it. My only complaint is that 51.450 being a grace note instead of a jump feels kinda wrong but otherwise nothing to complain about.

[Alioth] Red Rize - Conditional
Still has some problems with being overlayered and awkward in a lot of spots. There's a few too many to go over individually but a lot of these bursts end up being more annoying than fun, partly due to the sheer quantity of them. Just tone the really awkward ones down and you'll be fine here. The bursts just feel way too intense compared to the song, mostly.

[Scintill] The Alchemist (cut) - Accepted
This is pretty funny by itself without that huge lead in that the other one had. I like, though I'm almost afraid few people will play the full one because of this. It can't hurt to have both, but its your call, if I had to take just one I'd take this one as opposed to the longer one.

[Scintill] Scary Halloween Show - Accepted
This is really really neato. In my opinion though, if you were to make a short version of a chart, this one needs it a lot more than The Alchemist does. I think the full length experience is great but a short version would be nice for people who don't want to play a six and a half minute dump. It really is quite the dump though, I had a lot of fun playing it even on my shitty membrane board and even though I was super rusty. Really interesting file, which is impressive for the length.
