I actually play both Xoon 5 and LCP3 quite frequently. I just don't post scores because i'm not that good at SM.

pat's just being an arse

[FissionMailed1]

Yeah, I suppose. Just thought I'd throw it out there anyways to show that I appreciate what he has done.

shall we make a pack creator appreciation thread to hold all of these feels?

I honestly think that sounds forced. True acknowledgment is playing songs from newer packs and proving you're doing just that by posting scores.

Part of stepping is for your own personal satisfaction, but it's always a nice bonus to have people acknowledge the stuff you make. Note that I didn't say acknowledgement from others is a necessity, but it almost feels as if something is missing if no one else cares. It's like being paid as a waiter/waitress but hardly getting any tip. A employee appreciation day might help raise awareness for one day, but the proof is in the pudding: will you still get your tips?

I'm all for people playing the newer stuff being released. I wish I'd stop seeing Kasta Sten scores and other old stuff that you always see floating around. (I can hardly relate to them, but that's my personal bias.)

this is all correct (and the same goes for any other medium)

as for the appreciation thread comment, I was being half-facetious :3

[bmah]

but seriously now, what can pack-makers do to pull players away from being glued to mid-2000 dump packs? right now, gravitation to old packs show that they have more replayability than newer ones if the scores I see people posting is indicative of anything

(perhaps I can't really fully appreciate scores that people post from these old packs, but an honest thought running through my head is: "really? can you stop playing that? idc anymore about old crap")

[NeoMasterPie]

no i meant he was being an arse about nobody playing xoon 5 and lcp3 lol

I'd have to disagree. nostalgia + familiarity + common recognition among many players = scores on old files remain prominent

so it's more of a "right place, right time" deal, in my opinion.



ANYWAY I'm still hype to play this pack cause I haven't gotten to yet rofl. I've had a enjoy reading through the reviews. is the isaac&mina&samurai gigareview still up somewhere?

[Snapps]

i really weirdly want to make a pack with like 5 of the best stepfiles from all main stepartists

has this done before also im 99% sure im not going to do it

for it and I'm not shitting you here. it was p much peeps sending me files, helping out with gfx, playing da pack in the end and maybe some reviews and then abandoning ship never having anyone play the packs anymore in the span of like 2 weeks

the fate of stepmania rests on your shoulders moches glhf

tldr I'm banning myself from making anymore packs pce

I have to agree with this.

The ffr season packs are way under appreciated for some of the files in there.


also gd has been doing gfx work supporting the entire (yes entire) ffr sm community for 3 years

[Wayward Vagabond]

T hasn't been done before but its a good idea

[Snapps]

call it stepmania the final and then end game right there

Are you kidding those are my favorites

[CypherToorima]

Was writing a review. Accidentally backed off the page. so tl;dr:

As a player from a different era, this new files are silly to me. Haven't played all of them form this pack. The ones I have played go along with the music close enough but just aren't fun for me. I just don't get it. Times have changed.
