Someone e-mailed me about the FFR forums. So... I've decided to post what's up here...
- I always post updates at DDRManiaX. Since it's the official Stepmania forums, it only makes sense.
- I do not host any of my themes. I have no space to do it with. As such, I have no control over the hosting.
- Trance Machina 3 was made during Alpha 9. It worked then. It also worked, I believe, with Alpha 10. After that, there were some pretty severe metrics changes that made it pretty much broken. Yes, you can alter TM3 enough for it to work with newer alphas, and still have it look exactly as it did in Alpha 9/10. I personally don't have any fixed metrics like that, as my copy of TM at the moment is designed around TM4, which works differently.
- Trance Machina 4 is in the works. It's probably a ways off. I had done most of the graphic issues, but hadn't updated metrics in a while, so it was a bit out of date. I've got some holdover metrics that still cause SM to crash. For the most part however, it currently works, and is completly playable. It's a pretty huge change over version 3.
- I'm working on several other themes as well (the DDRManiaX theme, Step Fighter Mania X Zero, and a few other projects). Currently, since DDRMX theme is a group project, most of my time has gone into that. However, I've been learning a lot from that project and other themes, and I think it'll make TM4 better because of it.
- I'm fully willing to accept comments and criticism, though, as I've talked to ArchOwl about, I don't have to actually take your suggestions. I'm more likely to hear these at ddrmaniax.net though... I also take e-mail: zhekthek@hotmail.com
I'm glad that everyone who enjoyed it did, and for those who don't... well, it can't be helped. Again, suggestions welcome.
btw, although it's not the best I've done, I've made a wallpaper of Version 4's front logo: http://www.deviantart.com/view/6396172/
Screenshots of TM4 (they were posted at DDRMX, and a bit ago, so they aren't current yet.)
