Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!

Re: Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!

Reminder, all submissions and revisions must be in by this Friday by 11:59pm EST. After the deadline I'm going to try and get reviews posted the following day, at which point there will be no conditional files anymore, everything will either be accepted or rejected. There may be cases where we accept a file that still needs a few fixes, in which case I will try and work directly with the sim author to get it sorted out ASAP.

Best estimate at the moment is that the pack will have about 110 files. Launch is still expected to be on schedule and be released on the 25th.

lame. miracle sympho needs one handed trills for the machine gun

or jacks

Re: Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!

is sinister evolution being accepted as an alt chart or should I fix up

Re: Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!

Eh, idk. I'll run it by the other judges once again to see if I was just overreacting to how close some of the mines were. I still think they should be loosened up just a touch but you made it pretty clear you don't want to do that.

I'll see if I can get an answer by tonight.

Re: Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!

Sorry that I never got around to step black cloak. I wanna hold that for the next yolo series. Couldnt finish polishing this and adding heavy chart on time.

Re: Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!

Wasn't black cloak skeleton accepted a while ago? It already has graphics... lol



Absolute last reminder to send any updates/fixes/submissions. I will be ignoring all emails sent after the deadline. I will also be posting reviews tonight after the submission deadline comes to a close (a little under 11 hours from now). The song list will be set in stone by tonight. If for some reason you need to send a fix after the deadline you will be required to communicate directly with me on Skype.


Also, absolutely no files will be held over for future yolomania packs. It's either this or nothing.

Re: Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!

Submissions now officially closed

First, reviews:

[rparty89] Diavolo - Accepted
This is far from a technical file but it works, actually quite fun.
Your sync was off by a fair bit (about a 48th early at the bpm of the song) so we fixed this. Seeing as it was just a simple sync adjustment I think this is fine, if its not let me know on Skype or something and we can work it out.

[rparty89] Go Beyond - Rejected
This file has been done way too many times and I'm not really willing to add to that problem. It's a decently well done file but it doesn't really add anything new to the pack and it certainly doesn't add anything new to the game as a whole seeing as I had 7 different versions of this file alone, not including the jazzy mix. It's just been beaten to death, sorry bud.

[CAFO] kill - Accepted
Thanks for cutting the mp3
I still would also like to know if you have the title/author exactly right, it doesn't seem like it at first glance.

[7_VI] Black or White - Accepted
Funny thing for this, the batch previous to this had Caliber step a file for this but we liked your approach as well, and it was different enough to justify accepting. So there will be two files for Black or White in the pack, we are not combining into two difficulties on one file.

[7_VI] The Last Striker - Accepted
That trill section is incredibly unique and pretty much makes the file, would've been kinda generic otherwise but we really liked this file overall. Cool stuff.

[7_VI] Vajra - Rejected
Definitely was borderline for us but we aren't doing any conditionals for this batch since its the last one, and its got just a few too many issues to warrant accepting at the moment. Would like to see this cleaned up a bit and submitted to another pack in the future, the potential is there.
Some notes:
- Quite a few errors in terms of missing notes and jacks, not going to point them all out.
- http://puu.sh/ahFvf/af71d34252.png stuff like this is probably overlayered and annoying to play, the bpm isn't super fast but this is a polyrythm with holds and with jacks, squeaking by it is not hard, playing it accurately is.
- generally the holds+jacks thing was the biggest gripe I could see having with this file, they're not really bad but it was sort of too different compared to what most people like playing, and generally complicated hold files don't get a lot of play from everything I see, so while this isn't an objective fault it is a decent subjective one.

[rogdor] Outbreak - Accepted
Another solid file from you. Difficulty without the mines will probably be appreciated by some people, I personally found it fun with and without so that's cool. No complaints on our end, really fun file.

[rogdor] Unpleasant Sonata - Accepted
I don't know why I doubted you, but when I went into this I thought for sure I was gonna end up rejecting it since a relatively popular version of this file is in nuclear blast (4? or 3, I forgot right now). This is a lot more heavy on minijacks and overall a much more technical version of this song compared to the nuclear blast version, and quite fun to boot. The ending is so trolly, but it makes a lot of sense given the context of the file so it's defnitely the fun kind of trolly end. Good work again, glad to have this one.

One note on unpleasant sonata - the only problem we could argue about is the 3344 minijacks. they're not all bad, but there's one REALLY nasty one leading into a gay jumptrill + minijack at 47.650. at the very least, i would request that particular one to be changed into like 2233 or something, though its ultimately up to you since its accepted regardless.


--------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks once again to all the submissions and people willing to send their hard work to us. It's always a lot of fun reviewing new files and you guys got into this a lot more than I thought everyone would initially. I would not have predicted that we would end up with more than 100 files, and I can honestly say I'm very happy with the song selection and number of very fun files in this pack and I can't wait to share it with you all.

Release will be one week from today, Friday the 25th. We'll try to get it out and released by early evening.

In the mean while, I have a lot of graphics to do and other things so expect to see me being very busy on the graphics help page. I'll continue to post all my graphics so that anyone interested knows what not to work on.

Thanks again!

Re: Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!

Re: Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!

Shit I knew I forgot something.

Skwid voted to put it in as a second difficulty so I'm gonna side with Skwid. We'll add it as a second difficulty.

Actually would you be able to send the sm with it added to the difficulties you both want? I'm not sure where to put each chart

Re: Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!

Did you not get my submission...?

Re: Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!

We did, I tried hitting you up on Skype and replied to the email. Its got a major sync issue, if you fix it quickly and send it back in we'll still take a look.

Re: Yolomania Vol. 3 Submissions Open!
