DDR 2010 (Beta) SM5 Theme

Hello guys, I wanna release this and some other themes that I have in queue list, I have the idea to create a theme of this unreleased game due to the nice Lirodon release, I've created some assets based on the videos/resources available in the internet. I was thinking to use the Lirodon theme a base, but I've decided to use my own base to get a better control to some things, here are some screenshots of my actual assets, I haven't done too much but I've tried to do my best recreating them. I've create this post basically for two things, the main is to announce and keep track of the theme and its progress, and the second one is to get some ideas/feedback about it.




I'm not sure a bout what BGM / System sounds to use? The wii ones? 360/ps3 version? I have done the preferred music list based on a video, what game modes should I include? Nonstop? Endless?

What features should it have? Please post your ideas I will be updating this, and I will be updating this when I have more images to show, at this moment I am drawing the select mode icons, but I wanna check more ideas meanwhile I am building the theme. Thanks for your attention!

I would say that since it’s based on an unreleased game to just make it as feature rich as possible. No need to cut course modes out or limit the speed mods available or anything like that since there is no base game to be accurate to. As for sounds, it looks more like the Wii games so I would suggest those sounds over the PS3, but it also looks like Universe 3 and X2 AC so it’s really hard to say for sure what the best fit would be. It looks nice though, it’s slick looking.

My only request is to include support for Enciso's dance stages and characters system.

This is a very nice theme. Only thing is that can it be for SM5.3 or is it for Original SM5 Only?
You probably why I asked that because I know SM5 and SM5.3 are the same rhythm games, but SM5.3 is better
to use for any theme that Is for SM5 or SM5.3.

If that were the case we would all be on Outfox. There are a lot of people who don’t use it for various reasons and not just because they’re too lazy to “upgrade”.

I will use some resources that I've made for other themes, I have the idea to create an "Omnimix" customizable ddr theme, but it wasn't interesting I will use ideas mainly from X2AC for the UI, Ace for the song options, and maybe some other ideas.

I will add it later, I wanna focus first on the graphics. But is in the to-do list.

My themes work in all SM versions from 5.0.9 and up, I use mainly vanilla code to avoid forcing people to migrate to an specific version.

In some news, I am working on the graphics, and also creating the sub-theme feature of the system.


All the UI could be customized, I will be posting progress as I progress both in graphics and code.

Well, last week the mainboard of my current pc has broken down and so I will be a little late with the updates, as I'm working on an old dual core that I had, while I replace my pc again, I've drawn another interface and I've added some decorations to the results and music selection screens.





I will have to create a var or something similar to define the different text colors

These technological issues you're having are so unfortunate. I'm sorry to hear about them.

But otherwise, I like the progress that has been made!

Thanks _|/-\43D, The pc damage was something I had already foreseen. Fortunately my data is intact and the programs I use do not consume many resources, apart from the slowness of the system I have not had any other problem.

I had some free time and I was able to draw another sub theme.





I am slowly completing the designs that were shown in the official video. Maybe I will program a dynamic sub-theme system and extend the content with other custom made themes.

What judgements would you use?

The original "game" uses digital serial font.


I'm in a break right now, but I've finished another sub-theme bg some weeks ago:


I will copy my old works to the new pc, and continue working later.

is the project alive?

Also asking to see if this project still going on.

I have been busy these months, soon I will continue drawing the other interfaces to move forward in the sub themes and in the gameplay screen to have covered at least the regular gameplay, I am sorry that this message has no updates, but it is mainly to inform those who have been asking me by various means and I have not had time to respond to each one as it should, thanks for the interest and soon I will return to show more progress in the design of the interfaces.

This looks great so far! Keep it up! Oh, and by the way, can you make a red checkerboard theme?
