And the funny thing is we're not even done typo-ing yet.

FUCK SAKE

Hey... I want in lol. I know it's late but I think I wanna join in. I finally have time to actually make simfiles.

How bout it?

EDIT: On second thought I'll skip this week and wait until the next one. I hate making gimmick filled charts...

---

Here, lemme fix that. :P

Oh yeah, by the way, something else I'd like to know. I'm not using them in either of my files, but when's the appropriate time to toss in 270s?



Starting with your left foot, of course.

nightmare* oversleep**
this is the third time now

I do believe that was a joke, Junko.

---

I question your belief.

For god's sake, it happened again -_-

Note to self: next time check the name of the simfile before actually posting it.


...unintentionally

---

You are kidding me

---

I need graphics please. I barely have any clue how I should design them for this song. ^^;

Here's the first song in particular I'm using;



You can immediately see why I want to use it here starting at 1:30 or so.

I normally use 512x160 for banners, 800x600 for backgrounds, and 600x600 for jackets. It'd be great if you could use those resolutions. Thanks!

---

It's nerf or nothing.

You know, you could always do what I do and use a giant form of the official art and cut it down to size.

---

Didn't notice the resolutions tho, use them if you want.

Yes, another song from AronChupa.

My first attempt to make a gimmick simfile. Do not expect much from this because it was a slight headache for me to do, so this time I don't put mines to mark the gimmicks.
(I'm kidding)

I just hope not to be forgotten as happened with Souq. ( ._.)

Edit: Thanks for giving me the opportunity to learn new things this week I hate you Benpai

---

LOL you're very welcome

I know it was hard to do this but hey, it's usually a good thing to switch things up a bit.
Just think of it this way, this theme will probably never come up again in the future (or be picked by me ever again)

RECLARIFICATION TIME ABOUT [Gimmick Week]:

So a lot of you have been sending me PM's asking about what is and what isn't a gimmick in this week's criteria, which is dictated by me. I just want to take this time to clear any questions about it in the general forum, so I don't need to always repeat myself.

1. My original base criteria was at least ONE STUTTER, ONE WAVE GIMMICK. It technically still is; however, I'm accepting a few alternatives to this:
If you are able to simulate a stutter with increasing speeds such as this, then go for it.

If you are able to simulate a wave with increasing and decreasing speeds in rapid succession such as this, then go for it.

*issue resolved thanks to vincentw

2. A fourth of the chart must be a gimmick. What it means is that there are gimmicks in at least 25% of measures of playable chart. Could be a stop value, could be wave gimmick, could be a scroll, mods, whatever.


3. For those who use SM3.9 or OpenITG (anything but SM5), since the general consensus is that most people use SM5 and therefore can't read some of the things made in other versions, 1 of 2 choices remain to fix this:

If it turns out that SM5 cannot read something made in a different version, we must find a way to convert that chart to be read in SM5, or I just have to remake it for you. Not the most conventional, but it would be a shame not to be able to play someone's chart just because they had a different version.
OR you just download SM5 at http://www.stepmania.com/download/

4.
5. @mf32892 Blue note syndrome and yellow note syndrome are not considered gimmicks. If they're caused by a previous gimmick, that means for me that the calculation of your stop value or BPM change was wrong. Sometimes, they're just part of how the chart was made and slightly because it's harder to read a yellow note when there's no quarter note before it (I'm talking about the end of Towards the TOWER)

I hope that helps a bit more than before. If you have any more detail questions about the theme, I will make edits to this post to update from now on. Also, feel free to send me your charts as examples to check whether your chart is gimmicky enough or not.

Benpai

You're kidding right?

Holy shit.

Did ANY of us pass English in high school?

EDIT: never mind, that's WAY too perfect to be accidental
