[THEME] PROJEKTXIII+: SECOND STRIKERS beta release thread [WIP]

[mo126129]

Wow, great job! Everything looks really good, sounds great, background is awesome, and the new font for the ratings is like a breath of fresh air. Very well done, thanks!

The "toasty!" it's epic xD...

I like it...

And the particle program makes the theme more cool and special...

[ΩOMEGAΩ]

that is a awesome theme. PLEASE KEEP IT UP!

Only suggestion I have is Extra Stage backgrounds should be different.

Oh and the music for the extra stage as well.

Why? Time to Air and TROOPERS are Extra and One More Extra stages in DJ TROOPERS.

Excellent work. Even with all the nice graphics, it goes with 0-lag and at a constant 60 fps on my 5-6 year old comp-- excellently optimized.

And as much as I like that toasty, that had to be the biggest timing killer I've ever seen. Seizure-licious.

Well, time to make good on the "WIP" tag on here and show some progress on the final version... in this case, the last frame, DAEDALOS.



Expect the final to be released sometime next month (i.e. March).

-Toasty is fucking lol.
-Pantsu please.
-Yellow (score) numbers suck, can that be changed with Particle?
-Judgement words are fucking huge :<
-@BG: Is that going to be the BG for every stage or is it for final/extra?

-@A bunch of things: Nice added effects.
-@EvalBG: Much better.
-@Title Screen: Put back the radar and spinning white things, and the sphere :<

Score numbers: It can't, and if this was mentioned earlier I might have added the option, but I'm aiming for a March release of the final and don't want to pile more work on AJ.

Judgment: Older Judgment styles are generally smaller, so you can use those if you feel these are too large. It's actually easier than you think to get used to the new ones, though.

BG: If you're talking about the Select Music BG, that's a constant. Themes I make are primarily designed for Event Mode (although I do create material for the main loop for the sake of completeness), so making additional BGs for certain stages would be rather inefficient on my part.

Title: I received a few performance complaints regarding the title screen, so I removed these layers to speed things up. There are a few improvements to the title screen in the final version which you don't see here, and I think you'll like the end effect.

Numbers: How can I edit that? :<
Judgement: Same.
BG: It just seems a bit TOO much like a Final/ES BG to me, I dunno.
Title: Sweet.

Score numbers: Numbers/ScoreDisplayNormal 5x3.png

Judgment: Try the other ones in PARTICLE first, and if you don't like those either, Graphics/judg/XIII+ 1x6.png

BG: It's basically my take on the Mode Select BG in DJ TROOPERS (which also has a red alarm blare, largely similar coloring, and a tunnel)... so there's a reason it looks that way, and I kind of like the urgent feeling, although if you don't, well... you might find it a bit hard to edit, sorry (which is also why it doesn't have variants selectable in PARTICLE).

[GameFreak19911991]

Best Theme Ever. (And I thought AOI[S] was pretty good actually). The overall feel is much better than the standard DDR thems overall. And Particle is actually pretty fun to mess with.

One problem with particle I've found: under Menu BGM, "XI" crashes SM saying there's a file missing,

[k⁄⁄eternal]

Thanks! Fixed for final.

[stealthkidd]

how do i use particle?

[hooky -i- vanisher]

Nice theme. Plan on using it as my main SM theme.

[AceJay]

@ BG: It's PERFECT as the Mode select, and DM Ashura maes it sound sexy, but it just seems a bit odd on the Song select :<

I'm torn between XIII and SS :<

Damn you :<
