Mina's right I think. Who else thinks so?

So anyways, here's where this pack comes in. Many of you will not enjoy a lot of this pack, since it's going to be easier than most of stepping stones. Easier than VGMP4. Maybe even easier than Fullerene Shift.

The goal of this pack is not to have a bunch of songs that have one or maybe even two difficulties associated with it, but to have a few, maybe 12 to 20 even, with a complete spectrum of difficulties. Using FFR difficulties for comparison, a beginner difficulty ranging from roughly level 1-12, easy from 10-22, normal from 20-35, hard from 35-50, and expert from 50-70 (not too much higher than that, there's other hard packs out there for a reason). Think of how DDR or other rhythm game songs work with their difficulties - yes, it's going to be THAT basic.

If you want to contribute to this, here's what you can do:

Option 1) Provide a song and file that matches up with all/most difficulties criteria. I or someone else can always add in easier difficulties while keeping with the theme of the song. It doesn't have to be a file that's for now unreleased, eg. if a file from Stepping Stones can have more difficulties added to it, that's super.

Option 2) Provide a song and file that has a difficulty lining up with the criteria for a hard or expert file mentioned above. Again, the easier difficulties can be added pretty easily. And once again, doesn't have to be a file that's unreleased.

Option 3) help with gfx, I'm pretty bad at that kind of thing.

Option 4) Shitpost in this thread to increase traffic.


I'm not sure how well this would go, it's mostly in response to the people claiming that Stepping Stones, while amazing, didn't bridge to much much easier difficulties well enough. This isn't going to be a huge pack regardless.
