I like these dude, they're organic deviations from the coldly calculated designs of accepted theory. Full release when?

Re: Lofty x Mina Pre-Minty 2 [Official] Partial Release?

ok so I played all the files in the pack and there are a few things I want to say:
1. these files are all quite fun (except bucurie as this weird combination of oh trills and jacks doesn't really do it for me)
2. some of the transitions into the [14] jacks in los vinos feel pretty weird
3. really doe was really fun (probably my fav file) except you should've stepped earl's verse the 123hold thing felt really out of place and I couldn't really tell why you put that there instead of something more interesting
4. maybe I just suck but the polys in telephone felt way harder than anything else in the file. I could manage pretty much everything else (on .8 lol) but the polys were quite difficult
5. rock lobster is really cool (i really like jack dumps) but i feel like the flam things get kinda repetitive and almost feel quite mindblockable although idk what else could go there

That said, I really enjoyed this and can't wait for the full release

Re: Lofty x Mina Pre-Minty 2 [Official] Partial Release?

yeah i wasnt happy with the overuse of flams in rock lobster but i figured it could go out with this batch to see if anyone else had feedbacks on other parts

telephone started purely as "wouldnt it be hilarious to have 16th jacks to the dial tones and then throw polys everywhere at the same time and figure out the rest of the file later" and for better or worse that's what i did

Re: Lofty x Mina Pre-Minty 2 [Official] Partial Release?

I'm usually not serious on this site, but aight fine

Thanks, man. I wouldn't have said it so eloquently, but that's pretty much where I'm coming from as a simfile author.

Some would probably argue that to chart dump files is to inherently believe in this deviation, but over time I've seen (been playing this game for over 10 years now) that dump charting has now formed its own set of "accepted theory" that I think is contrary to that which is exemplary in the old guys' (midare, knoobish, bmx, mina et al) stuff. This accepted dump theory, I have perceived, is to release dumps which are easily scored upon and rated to push a players speed, which I think detracts from file character in a way that is unfun (this is really just an opinion, so, take this with a grain of salt.)

When I first really started to enjoy the game, it was because of the turn-of-the-head moments that I would often have in-game while playing these old midare pack files--moments that created a file identity outside of the song and its elements and revealed aspects of character in the stepfile author himself.

That's what I have and always will seek to strive for. People should know when a file is a lofty file the same way that someone should know something is a mina file or a skwid file. That isn't to say that technical charters don't have identities themselves, but I think it comes out more through their song choices (I'll always be able to recognize a Scintill, Wayward, or James May file just because they created their identity largely through the music). <3 u guys keep charting stuff pls.

My files are polarizing because I do what I want based on my own views of coherence and artistry.

Tldr
I create my identity through tapping out arrows when I'm drunk,
and I enjoy files when the music compliments the patterns, not when the patterns compliment the music.


Release date: in the future

@Flossy
Thanks for tapping through this thing m8
While I can't say much about your analysis of Bucurie, as you have a pattern bias for what the file is essentially all about,
I will absolutely address the transitions in los vino. Still on the fence with the hold 1 2 3 patterns in really doe. I'll think about it.

Also, Earl's verse is my fav too, I just have a hard time getting through songs hahaha
