Z-I-v Summer Contest 2016

Wow, I didn't even realize it! No problem at all! Thanks for the points, too.

This only adds up to 14. It'll be great if you correct this, thanks.

Oh shoot, you're right. I'll edit my post and fix it.

Whoops, I apparently never fixed the sample start for REVOLUTION. Ignore that.

Had to use a code box this time.

First file for [Girls Week] tomorrow.
Calibri is also a good font.

---

Also fyi, you can use [code][font=Segoe UI, Arial, Verdana][/font][/code] for your text boxes.

This will make the text box in the standard font (Segoe UI), or something similar if that font doesn't register. Because, Courier is a bad font and should not be used except when absolutely necessary.

For example:

What's the reasoning behind the code box?

What, do you mean? I was using it as a demonstration, and other people use it to save space in their posts.

I use Courier because it has my symbols (especially the non-number ones) line up nicely so the actual song titles aren't drifty.

Observe how effective it is.

Simfiles



Song choices (NEW!!)



Every character is of an equal width. Symbols like ".." and "!!" would be too small, so for instance Colors wouldn't be on the same line as Schizophrenia, which would look kinda jarring.

Anyway, now the totes go;

Good work. All of you. You don't know how many points I'd give out if I had 30 or perhaps 50. You all made this really fun.

If you want my comments on your file (note I didn't really have much to say on all of them, only some), here you go.

I want to preface this by saying that there were a lot of really good files this first week. There were too many that I could possibly give points to or give HMs to.

---

That makes sense in your case. You could probably just make the +1, HM, .., ??, !! in the font, but that would be time consuming.

Regarding the video, what version of SM5 are you using? I encode videos in H265 which was added in a later update for SM5, so it won't work on older versions of SM5 and won't work on anything below SM5 at all.

Thanks for the comments though!

I actually typed those before you fixed the videos. I started playing the files about Friday because I saw a huge amount of them coming and I kinda hoped I'd be the first to vote so that adding totals wouldn't be difficult.

I use Stepmania 5.0.10.

VOTES:

+3 - Clear ft. Mothica (Shawn Wasabi Remix) [ohaiimian] Great songs, steps and graphics
+3 - Oh My Darling Don't Cry [Birdwards]

Thanks to Gameoson, mf32892 and CuzcoBlocko for the feedback. I'm learning phase so all is well received

I didn't know I didn't add T R Y to the list... oops.

So that's 30/44 files with points...

"Who's Mari Ferrari?", you may ask. Well, she is a well-renowned Portuguese DJ in the EDM scene. She started her career in 2007 and has performed in festivals (i.e. Stylematic, an EDM festival in Bangladesh) since. So, the song itself is deep house. It was quite easy to find a good stepping pattern for each difficulty. The harder ones do follow the guitar riff (Heavy & Challenge), though they're not really different, if I'm going to be honest here. Without further ado, I hope you enjoy this simfile.

I finally fixed the totals. I added KevinRocker10's votes to Cuzco's
