Z-I-v Summer Contest 2021

I would like to join.

Summer Days (Haywyre Remix) / Martin Garrix

Taking things at my own pace. Probably settling into a DDR (+SM5 gimmick) DSP/ESP, ECFA-lite CSP cadence for this contest

Hey look my song also has summer in the name what a coinkydink


From the album Summer Sunshine. Perfect!

Another round, let's see how this goes eh? I thought about doing something faster here, but some neat patterns popped into my head listening to this again, so I decided to just roll with it. (...Am I the only one who thrives better in the cold though?)

Hello summer / BEMANI Sound Team "ビーチパラソルズ"

from GITADORA NEX+AGE

This is a Progressive House track by one of my favorite artists, and I have been wanting to step this for a while. The charts are a bit playful, so I hope you enjoy them

also took my first shot at making a template i guess

---

So, I have a submission for Round 1, but since I don't yet have the ability to have to add my file to the Summer category, I'm posting a Google Drive link to my file for now. I'll make sure to upload it properly once I can, so hopefully that works out... I just uploaded the simfile to the catagory; there are minor changes (regarding BPM/ the chart) compared to the Drive file I posted.

Anyways...

Summertime/Annerley
: 2 / : 6/ :11/ :13

This song (as well as the 1993 original) definitely came to mind when I first saw this theme! It probably won't be a show-stopper, but I think this song lended itself well to a fun and chart. I only had the time to make one doubles chart for this song, which, if you're curious, more or less combines aspects from both of the aforementioned charts.

---

I'm aware someone already stepped this and beat me to the draw with this one. Spare me the humiliation, shoo. Shoo.

Kind of throwing this one out anyways. I lost track of time, and this is the best I could do at the moment.

By the way, the next theme will be announced... right after I get some sleep. I haven't slept 'til 8 pm...

Is this deadline Daylight Savings Time or not? So is it 1pm EDT?

So they are going to hold the Olympic games this year in Tokyo. There's a bit of skepticism on how it would all turn out, but I am still looking forward to the opening ceremony. I was saying to myself, "If they don't have an homage to AKIRA, then I am walking out." In the meantime, Daff and I have decided: What if we were to host our own Olympic games? Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you...


The Olympic rings represent the five regions of the world: Europe, Africa, Asia, America, and Oceania. Their colors can also be found in every country's flag without exception. And in this contest, they will be found in every simfile without exception.

For this week, you will step a song that has any of the colors featured in its title or artist name: RED, BLUE, YELLOW/GOLD, GREEN, or BLACK.

Examples:




In case you are wondering: You can use different languages or variations of your color, like say for red, you choose rojo, akai, crimson, etc. However, don't abuse the loophole and pick colors like maroon, aquamarine, purple, or grey. They MUST be colors featured in the Olympic rings. (And white doesn't count, even though it's part of the flag)

Now in regards to voting...

Thanks to that lovely poll I submitted two weeks earlier, it's decided that we will be using the more modern voting system: the x/10 ratings system we've been using for the last year. You have TWO weeks to vote on every Simfile for Week 1. I will post the results on June 25th where I will be announcing Week 4's theme.

Send your votes and any questions regarding this week's theme to me, Daff, or KexMix via PM!

The .zip file for Week 1 will be coming soon...


I forgot to mention: Yes, the deadline is Daylight Savings Time, making it 1 pm EDT. Sorry for the confusion as I failed to realize that some countries don't have Daylight Savings Time.

Does it count if the featured artist meets the qualification?

And does it also count if the artist's name has the color as part of their name, but not as a standalone word? (e.x. Blackpink)

Yes. Artist names count, and non-standalone words also count.

---

---

Can the song be from an album with one of the colors in its title? (ie. Red by Taylor Swift).

---

Okay, so there is some confusion over the deadline time, meaning I have to make another amendment...

The deadline is 1 pm in your respective time zone. This should account for countries with and without Daylight Savings Time.

Nevermind. The deadline is staying 1 pm EDT.

---

Oof. This means some people will have more time to finish their simfile than others. I'm not a fan of this change.

If the song is the same as the album title, then yes. If not, then it doesn't count. It has to be the song, not the album or source it came from.


Okay... nevermind that change then.

---

That's fine, I have a couple of ideas anyway. These colors are used in WAY more song and artist names than I expected, haha.
