t7r mix XQ04 - Season 2

Pack download links:

Teasers:


Details:
- For packs, the ZIv pack will consistently be updated while the external packs will be updated each time a boss song is out. I hope to keep this even more organized (especially the season numbering) than XQ03 was.
- One season has two parts, unlike XQ03 that exceeds two. Each gradual update stays in the same season part; i.e. this is a similar approach to how I pulled off XQ03's last season update. So if 4 songs are released now, and another two songs get released the following week, they're still both under 1.1 until the boss song/s drop.
- Season 1 will have 48 songs (including 3 bosses, 1 pack-exclusive). Season 2 will have less than or equal to that (final boss pack-exclusive until the first few songs for the next mix appear OR 3 months, whichever is lesser).
- Feel free to suggest any international song preferably by artists not from the common countries within the BEMANI community (US and Japan specifically). I'm now allowing UK artists as XQ03 never had a single one. Do note suggestions are subject to whether I'll like the song enough to step it or not, that's why they're called suggestions and not requests. I'm closing suggestions.
- Simfiles I enter for contests (except those marked with colors other than gold next to the jacket) automatically end up in XQ04 some time after the contests' end dates unless disqualified which will be released immediately. Simfiles I contribute for community packs (except a select few) will end up in the next mix.

Current songlist:



Spotify Playlists:
- XQ04 Regular Song Selection - gets updated as the full set of charts of a song is done!
- XQ Series Suggested Song Queue - gets updated after I read the song suggestions, if the song is available in Spotify that is

Update log:

Let's try something more pop this time:
Miguel Bosé - Gulliver

It should be August 4th in the Eastern hemisphere so the category is now public! First 4 songs now out, with 3 of them being remakes of Z-I-v Summer Contest 2020 entries.


Also keep those suggestions coming! I take note of them in the playlist.

Overall songlist updated in the first post.

Details:
- Bua Yeu suggested by K-Step/iamthek3n way back in the XQ03 thread
- Rejection Girl has Doubles
- The other two SC2020 songs now have charts.
- Dum Tek Tek's BPMs from the competition have been retained. There was actually a need for me to say so since I don't usually do speed gimmicks like that lmao.

Additionally, the website is under construction and only the XQ03 and XQ04 songlists may be viewed. Gonna spice that up with better-looking pages maybe in a few weeks.

2020-08-21:

Also giving everyone else a chance to decide on that fourth song. Anyone with a Twitter account may vote here.

Choice notes:
- Option 1: deleted song in AC but is in INFINITAS
- Option 2: one of the few surviving licenses after XG2
- Option 3: one of the few HV songs in INFINITAS
- Option 4: DECEIT. THE WHOLE THING IS A PACK OF LIES. TO ADJUST TO SOMEONE ELSE'S PACE. **** *****.
All indicated BPMs are the ones that will show up in their respective files. Take out the slowdowns in the last two options those are their BPMs in-game.

Only options 1 and 4 are likely to have Doubles

Revamped website and default songlist pack (12 songs) will be up 2020-09-04. Suggested songs will likely show up after that.

You made this one way too obvious bro.

🤔

2020-09-01:
Just to keep the default song count at 12, I'm putting in another song in place of 鬼言集 because I don't think I'll be done with Doubles before 9/4. Rest assured 鬼言集 will be included in the update after.
That replacement song is up now.

Additionally, I'll have something involving stuff in this image next week (credit: Lord Toon for the image).

Sounds cool! Good luck.

Hello everyone.

New songs up:

Z-I-v pack also updated to add these two songs.

Update notes:
- 鬼言集 has Doubles

Also I am pleased to announce a new event:

Inspired from the fact that my username is inspired by a "collab" and that I've been doing collabs since 2018. Also SC2020 Week 9 was fun.

Details:
- Full details may be viewed in this page.
- Song choices feature collabs from all current BEMANI titles (REFLEC BEAT in place of DDR) and three international song slots (same criteria as song suggestions)! I don't care what genre it is but if the song sounds good/catchy/oozes DDR potential we go for it!
- First collab file, Queen Kaguya, featuring _|/-\43D, will be out next week!
- Contact via PM/reply here, @t7r_returns on Twitter, t7r#3039 on Discord

Other Notes:
- Song choices are based on 0 results returned in ZIv except As I go.
- The DRS and jubeat songs are negotiable primarily because they aren't composer vs composer collabs. Alternatives are MY NAME IS and Bonjour, The World!!, both collabs and yielded 0 results; let me know which one you'd prefer.
- In the event that one of the songs ends up in DDR keeping an eye on BLAZE∞BREEZE and the collab is not yet finished, we're still pushing through with the collab.
- I'm probably not revealing that first collab marked in ??? until around 2021, well at least moving forward.

2020-09-16:
First of the collabs, along with a new song, released! Z-I-v pack also updated.

Some collabs are still open! Check the event page for details.

International, eh? I'm intrigued.

Tous le meme says I do not have permission unfortunately.

Pack download links:

Pack notes:
- VALKYRIAS -英雄誕生- will use the video banner by default in the MEGA.nz with videos pack.
- Only Artist doesn't have a chart... yet but is actually up individually. See News section below for more details.

Newest updates:

2021-04-30 update adds BREDLI from Z-I-v Simfile Tycoon Deluxe (thank you for 1st place!), removing the ITG gimmicks in and now with a brand new set of Doubles charts! Oh just a friendly reminder we STDX winners did a collab before.

News:
- Teaser updated in first post to reflect the new date.
- Artist now released as well.
- I am currently reconsidering reopening the VS event with repeating collaborators welcome this time. You may message me (you know where to find me) but I still have yet to finalize the details. I might bump the thread again today regarding this but that will be it until May 11th-ish.; EDIT: On second thought I won't bump the thread but I'm quietly re-opening it. Will make noise when BEST-mix is over.
- 3-month rule-- EROICA will be out for individual download 2021-05-22.

Previous updates:

2021-05-14 EDIT:

Now that I'm free from contests and if I'm still good at managing hobbies like this I'm going for a 2021-05-26 pack update date. Some other notes (might as well plug other old projects in this without bumping 2-3 threads):
- First post updated with the new teaser images.
- EROICA out individually 5/22.
- After this first pack update I'll resume XQ02 power up ver. Might as well leave that without a release date just for flexibility purposes but it's definitely this year.
- One of the collabs is about to be finished earlier than expected so that's getting included in the 5/26 update. (I did say repeaters are now allowed; just one song at a time)
- One XQ03 song will get Doubles following Battle Royale 2021's conclusion. Maybe minna-san should have an idea which uta exactly by ima desu!!
- I am currently supervising a 13-person collab that's gonna end up in a project that's "By Zenius, For Zenius" (or at least there's some association) so to maintain what this slogan stands for we're currently looking for two more people! Both Single and Double!

UPDATE: SUGGESTION REJECTED
Request: Butterfly (Chris Clavii Benign Girl Remix) - smile.dk

After a long wait, t7r mix XQ04 Season 2 is now kicking off!

Pack download links:

Season 2 Kickoff Songlist:

News:
Simfiles
- New Game feat.Mayumi Morinaga is a collaboration with Z-I-v Simfile Tycoon Deluxe co-champ forcednature! I did say collaborators can repeat now, just one at a time per season so yeah everyone that I did a collab with in Season 1 welcome back! Please see video of CSP and ESP below courtesy of forcednature himself:
- Söz Yaşları is the new t7r time trip song, referencing a community pack (DDREvolved presents Year End Pack MMXX) and... a sequel? Next t7r time trip song will actually happen on the next update in June!
- about right, BREDLI, I CAN'T STOP ME, New Game feat.Mayumi Morinaga, Söz Yaşları, STOIC HYPOTHESIS, ∀, and the pack exclusive all have Doubles.
- Unlike what I did with EROICA, the current pack exclusive will be up individually at some random unannounced period once for 1-2 days. Then it will be available after 3 months (August 26th).
- Almost all songs from Season 1 got resynced while a select few received updated graphics. For the complete update notes*, see this file: http://t7rsims.byethost31.com/simfiles/notes/xq04/2021052600.txt
* - I might be making a separate page for update notes to display those foreign characters correctly.
- In light of recent events, I deliberately did ∀'s and the pack exclusive's videos in such a way that it's like I released them before May. Thus Chewingood!!!'s video remains unaltered and S-Bahn still has no video.

Events
- I am now launching D.O.D. (Doubles On Demand)! For more details, see this page.

Other project updates not worth bumping their respective threads for:
- I'm definitely applying the same resyncing method for XQ02 power up ver. Also, re-tweaking charts I already tweaked early this year is not out of the question. I am cringing hard at ANCHOR Doubles as I speak. Target date for this? Umm definitely within 2021.
- It's XQ03 Re:EVOLVE that's going 2022 but I did update NANI THE FUCK!! featuring Doubles by Kekkle/KexMiX (current Z-I-v Battle Royale host and stepcharter from the DDR XX team) so please check that out!
- Priority of past project updates is definitely on the ones with complete sets of Singles charts and widescreen backgrounds (XQ02 onwards) since those are easier to tweak without cringing too hard.

EDIT: Fixed the individual links to Driven Shooter, STOIC HYPOTHESIS, and ∀

Music Suggestion
Toy Phone Sound (Chris Clavii Remix)
SUGGESTION REJECTED

Just got around to checking the video now in your previous post and sorry unfortunately I will have to reject this.
I think I should add a rule where international song suggestions should be at least 1 minute 30 seconds.

Meanwhile I have just fulfilled a derivation of SquashiniKun's suggestion that will be up for 24 hours, and then private again until its official release on June 9th. Please enjoy.

I've already started skeletons for Damox's and tikal.'s suggestions and I hope to release them some time before July August too. As such, suggestions are open again but bear in mind the following:
- After the next 3 suggestions I'm closing again.
- Those that already had suggestions fulfilled can suggest again.
- Everything but US/Japan artists only.
- The songs will probably end up in the successor to XQ04.

Please see more details in this page for the suggestion rules.

Suggestion: Darkest Hour (The Clock) / D-Block & S-te-Fan & Sub Zero Project
