[StepMania 5 Theme] [WiP] DanceDanceRevolution STARLIGHT

This Project is Very very Awesome

I Can't wait for Release date

Don't make promises you can't keep. ;)

Yea pohly is my coder and I'm very grateful. That sarcasm earlier was priceless. Omiy is helping out with some other things as well and I'm lucky to have them both on Team STARLIGHT.

@AJ: K, we'll push it as far as we can without breaking SM5 lol

Oh hai!

Yep, never miss a chance to insult myself in the third person. If nobody revealed it, I figured I might keep ragging on this mystery coder all the way until the release...

Y'know, like... "Man, what did this coder guy program his animations in, VISUAL BASIC???"

Stop bragging until we see your output, djpoly.

Let's keep the rudeness to a minimum here and keep the thread about the theme and songpack, please. Also, spelling.

^ This.

And to be honest, he has a right to brag since he actually knows what he's doing, unlike a select few I've seen here over the years. People all over the place are being swept off their feet from that little video alone and that's because it's still very under-polished and a WIP so that says something big about this project's potential.

---

I'm glad to see that things are getting done on this now. Also, djpohly is a good themer and he really does know SM5 very well. You should expect good things from this.

WIP video or not, it looks amazing and the fact the project is picking up steam is even better. The title screen looks especially solid with the animations and logo transition. This will be the most popular SM5 theme, I am certain of it.

---

don't care about the screens. I know it's still in progress. I only care about how the background goes. so beautiful..

---

So, long story short; I'm also coding. And this is an actual screenshot.

*amazed*

---

Nice work dude. I can't wait to see this project finished!

---

I'm looking forward to this theme very much indeed.

---

Well now that the theme's progress is starting to rev up, I figured I'd give out a little STARLIGHT trivia.

-Originally the theme was going to have two versions: the current interface you see and THIS one which is styled like a classic DDR. It was a bit harder to work with this way so I choose the modern structure since it allows me more creativity overall.

-STARLIGHT DRIVE's original name was going to be StarDust Drive.

-STARLIGHT was conceived with 7 other DDR interfaces I designed.

-As seen before, STARLIGHT was completely based off X2's colors and elements but were changed to unify that space motif.

-I had planned to have STARLIGHT DRIVE work like a Master Mode but it was scrapped and the constellation idea was developed.

D:

This looks fantastic! The only issue I think I'll have is adjusting to the X2 interface; I've been using the trusty song wheel for as long as I can remember.

1st: that design somehow looks like ITG3... oh wait, is this going to have two ratings?
2nd: as the name changes, you have to rework the graphics too, right?
3rd: other interfaces? like what?
4th: I only see some splashes from X2's design. the rest, I found it original.
5th: so we only have to access Extra Stage to play STARLIGHT DRIVE songs? don't we have to do some mission? (not that I begged for the missions, I just wanted to clarify)

1.Bring's back good memories of the 5th Mix - X Era...*Sigh*Good Times...Good Times...Also reminds me of the time I was still using SM 3.9.

2.StarDust,STARLIGHT No Diff,No Biggie.

3.Ohohoho~ I'd like to see those.

4.Just seeing the Title of the Site already reminds me of the Theme and if it's going well.

5.Planets or Constellations....I'd pick Constellations Anyday!

Here are those seven other interface designs I made. Initially I didn't want to reveal these yet but since people want to see them, here they are. Konami's got nothing on me.
