I'm finally feeling like I've made enough simfiles to warrant a post here, so here goes~
Hi! I'm Lye, and I'm making these again for the first time in forever. I built a tiny pc in the pandemic made just for storing media and playing stepmania, and pretty quickly found this place. I was so blown away by the quality of everyone's work here that it made me want to try and make some fun charts too.

Release Cadence
Packs will probably contain between 18-32 songs. I'll have a better idea of specifics as I make more and get closer to my first pack release. My name will probably not be involved in whatever I decide to call the series.


Puppy Face See what I've made so far~
^ I keep track of my working status and the songs that are up next in the category description.


Completed Songs!

Other Info!

Difficulty
I started out stepping only Medium, Expert, and Oni steps, but have been adding Basic steps too. I'll be filling Basic steps back into the charts that don't have them by the time I assemble a pack. Some extra difficult stages or experimental steps will be on Edit difficulty: these may or may not be possible on pad. ^^' I've tried to avoid cross steps and janky patterning for the most part, but give me a shout if something sticks out. I've got to repair my old metal redoctane pad before I can test them out. Also— I'm using the modern X ranking system, though I'm not super familiar with it, so please let me know if you think difficulties should be adjusted. I like playing 12–15 on pad so there will probably be lots in that range.

Genres
Hoping to represent a diverse range of genres and languages overall! Most selections will probably skew into pop, house, glitch, jazz hop, and IDM.

Quality
I'm a designer by trade and would evaporate into an embarrassment cloud if things were janky, so you can expect consistent quality graphics and seamless media syncing. I use the XX Starlight theme, so naturally everything comes with a jacket too. Some of the songs might have banner and/or background variants so you can choose your fave.


Hope you enjoy, and would love to get feedback if you don't! (and if you do also. that would be cool)

Ah alright, I guess we have different ideas of what's acceptable w third party media? My bad, I'll take it down and rip and resync it later.

I think the issue is more that it's generally nice to ask before including someone else's work as part of your own.

"third party media" or not, i still did the work to source the song in high quality and edit it for my file. same for the video. i don't think it's asking too much for a quick DM from anybody who wants to use my stuff. i mean, the answer will usually be yes as long as i'm credited. as a "designer by trade", i hope you don't do this in your trade...

I get that, yeah, which is why I removed the file.

I stepped these charts file before I had an account here so I could get learn and get reacquainted with producing stepfiles.. I should have DM'd you before posting, though, you're right.

Is this a jab? The nature of my work is really collaborative, there's not an ego element to the work we produce, so no, it's not an issue? Sorry, I'm new here. Stepmania is open source, OGG format is open source, Utada's work is not our property, neither of us asked them. I am okay with people using my synced files, as long as creative identifying assets are not reused (banners & backgrounds) and naively thought others would feel similarly. Know that's not the case now.

I'll post a "permissions" section to my category, and it would be good if others did this too if they feel strongly about this kind of thing.

yeah, it is a jab. i think it's common sense to ask before taking something that's not yours. i don't care about copyright, i'm not making profit off this. but i do want respect, i don't think that's too much to ask once again. sorry if you think it's my "ego". this is a fun hobby for me that i do put a lot of work into.

...do you feel like my reaction to you hasn't been respectful?
I get that you're upset, I'm not saying what I'm saying to try and break down your argument or whatever, I'm explaining where I'm coming from. And I get it and respect your wishes.

Usually, yeah! But your simfiles and mine are both taking and reposting music and video that are not ours that we did not ask permission to use, editing, and then repackaging them and posting them publicly. Saying it's common sense here is kinda wild when it's the whole nature of both our hobbies. Again, I understand where you're coming from, but this isn't helpful to the point.

Sure, neither of you own the rights to the track, but I don't think it's cool to take somebody else's time, effort & stress they put into something, and upload it without credit. Chewi is a message away, it's not like he's Utada and impossible to contact.

i don't think you're being rude at all. when i said i wanted respect, i was using it as an expression. yeah, i'm a little pissed/upset. it feels bad to have my work taken without permission and posted somewhere else without attribution.

anyway, ask permission next time not just from me but from anyone you use stuff from. thanks, bye.

Chewi was credited, I just didn't ask permission.

Will do, sorry.
