Anyone willing to help me out with graphics for this round? PM me for details. Thank you in advance.

I'm also looking for a fresh line-out of the song, if anyone has one. (Don't want to have to rely on low-quality YouTube imports)

Song Title: Shiawase ni Nareru Kokushi Command ga Arurashii
Song Artist: Utatap feat. Yuzuki Yukari

Just picked a random Osu! song...literally no idea what any of this translates to...it may not even be spelled correctly... >_<

If you want a really good quality chart, yes. I've been working on my charts for about 4 hours and I've only completed Beginner and Challenge. Gotta crank out the rest...

depends on the difficulty of the file. paying attention to all the patterns, making sure they work and flow right. making sure it works for that difficulty. it could take a few hours or a few days. my simfile has taken me a few days to complete (keep in mind that i haven't started working on it until a few days ago WHOOPS and i also have to go to work so i can only spend so much time on working on the file in a day).

@JohnathanTeas It varies by person, and by song. The more gimmicky or difficult, the longer it takes. Oftentimes the early bird posters start working on their files in advance (like Gameoson, or Spork!) or make easier charts (like chewi).
Not around here too often anymore, but I still play DDR & maimai!
My final contest run was in my signature so I guess I'll keep it here for those who wanna play my last few charts:

If it's a song I've listened to a lot and have thought about stepping beforehand, I can make a file in 30 minutes.

But... making easier charts doesn't neccessarily mean I take less time either.

Usually takes me a total (I split up the work over days sometimes) of around two or three hours for a Heavy or Challenge chart if I'm putting a lot of thought into it. Beginner takes me around 10 min., Light takes around 20 min., and Standard takes about 45 min.

Time to bring out the Armenian pop queen, once again.

Դե էլ Մի / Lilit Hovhannisyan

BPM: 108-126
Beginner - 2 | Light - 3 | Standard - 6 | Heavy - 7 | Challenge - 10

To answer JonathanTeas' question, this file has technically been in the making since February of 2015. The first drafts of the Heavy and the Challenge charts were created then, and those probably took about an hour and a half. I would make tweaks every now and again in hopes of submitting it earlier to other competitions, but kept deciding to save it for another occasion. Finally, I chose to step it this week, and despite already having a base to work with for the harder difficulties, I probably spent a good 8-10 hours on this file this week alone. It's all about how easily quality files come to you, and generally they don't come easy for me. Most of the time I spent on this was nitpicking certain step patterns and rhythms via multiple play-throughs of the song. You can actually see a few different drafts of the Challenge file in the .SM I included in the description of the file.

All that being said, I'm very happy with how this turned out. I have a feeling I know what criticisms people might have, especially of the Challenge file, but regardless, I'm happy with what I'm putting on the table. The song in incredible, the video is phenomenal, and Lilit is literally my mom, so I hope everyone at least enjoys those aspects of the file. Best of luck DDRDAIKENKAI and the other competitors!
(also why lilit has yet to represent armenia in eurovision i will never know)

Usually it takes me around 30 minutes to an hour to put together a first draft of the Challenge chart (depending on how complex it is), and then about another 20 minutes of playtesting and tweaking the chart. Heavy through Beginner usually take less and less time as I move on to the lower difficulties, but that's not because I'm putting in less effort. I think about how the next difficulty down is going to look as I'm stepping the higher difficulties, so by the time I finish Challenge I have a good idea of what Heavy will look like, and then after that I have a good idea of what Standard is going to look like, and so on and so forth. By the time I'm down to Beginner and Light I've heard the song so many times that I can dump a few arrows down in less than 10 minutes and be pretty satisfied with the result.

Before I release anything, I spend another 10 minutes replaying all five difficulties, and if I notice anything I don't like I go back and fix it, play it again, decide it still sucks so I go back and fix it again and then I upload once I'm 90% satisfied with the results. I'd guesstimate it takes about 3 hours for each file.

Same as Gameoson, but I like to test it a couple of days (2-3) after it is done before submitting it to see if I still feel the same way I do with the simfile as I had before when making it.

The hardest part for me is finding a song to sim. Variety is good.
Sometimes the song is really cool, but won't be fun to play as a simfile on pad. Often times, I see the song catered more for iidx, but I don't know how to make iidx/bms files. Sad If only, if only.

I would say anywhere from an hour to 3 hours depending on how in depth the chart is and how much of a pain the ass making graphics for them ends up being. I've been making simfiles for 10+ years, so making them is second nature at this point. If someone is new at making simfiles, then 5+ hours might be about right if they don't know how edit mode fully works.

Around 6-8 hours if syncing is a pain.
