Help me finish Bemanimania: An all pad, all bemani mega simpack

[SulferDragon]

Okay, first off I'd like to say that I've finally began working on my dream simpack, and I'm going to need your help people. I can't do it alone now.

So BemaniMania is going to be an all pad, all Bemani music simpack for Stepmania. I'd like to have songs from all Bemani games, All the big series, and even lesser known games like Keyboardmania, and Dancemaniax. I will allow Bemani covers of songs too, for I am going to get right about 60 songs.
================================================== ===============================
Now I'll break down what's going on:
We're almost done, and that's that. Just gotta make the song courses, and a few other things.

So nothing amazing, but it's fun to have a few courses ^.^

Now the guidelines of my pack:
1: No noob files! I'm sorry if this seems rude, but I want good quality sims.
2: Songs most contain decently made graphics. If you don't have graphics, or cannot make a decent looking bg/bn for the song I will not use your file.
3: No song above 2:29. a.k.a. no Long versions, or Marathons.
4: MP3's only!
5: No keyboard files!
6: All songs must contain a Light, Standard, and Heavy chart. I would highly recommend you make Beginner steps too though. Challenge steps would be nice, but don't force anything. Edit steps... if you really want. (No joke steps)
7: Now I will accept Challenge only simfiles, but they must be very well made!
8: No more remixes of Bemani songs then what we have!
9: About cdtitles... I would prefer if you had a cdtitle, but I won't make it mandatory. If you don't have one I will just use a cdtitle telling what game the song originated in.

Other things:
Credit to Super_Ray for making me the banner. Thanks a trillion.

Mooga is going to host the pack for me. Thanks Mooga.

If you have any suggestions for the pack just let me know. I'm here to listen. Thank you, and please help.

I'll edit this post everytime more information comes in, and I'll bump the thread if it falls off page one before it's done.

I'm working on ugh... TAISETSUNAMONO by Long Run Music, Inc.

[dahrkdaiz]

I have a few things from Beatmania IIDX on the back burner. I've released Breathe so you can see a sample of my stepcharting work. You can see Daisuke in the recent mintmania release. I have Click Again and Lucy already done and waiting for graphics and a good time to release them. Let me know if your interested.

[SulferDragon]

Very good job following the song. I had a blast playing that, and I'm sure others will too. You're hired, get to work on your other files, and thank you for helping out. I would suggest maybe being a little more creative though. Following the song perfectly isn't bad, but on some songs it makes sense to you know, do what Konami does. Just not as bland as some things Konami does :P

And tsugaru, keep working on ugh... TAISETSUNAMONO. lol

[t7r]

TAISETSUNAMONO is *almost done*. Just the graphics are left. I will upload that later.

EDIT: Or tomorrow. I have to prioritize my little brother having to use the computer I'm using, which is not mine.

[SulferDragon]

Great, and as for your other files I want to use. I think I'd like to use My Friend, Durandal, Akai Suzu, and maybe RISE. I'm still thinking, but would any of those work for you? I definitly want to use My Friend.

I did not make Durandal.

Sure, you can use "My Friend", but I'll change that 8 to a 9. I reviwed its steps, and it has too much jumps and streams for an 8.

Don't use Akai suzu. The song cut doesn't make sense, in terms of lyrics.

RISE... ehhhhhhh...... I don't know.

lol, ok I'll think some more, and get back to you on it. I will think hard! I'll study the steps, and make sure they're excellent before I ask again! Glad you'll let me use My Friend, and yes I just played it again yesterday, and I was like, "Man this is streamy, and jumpy for an 8."

And Mooga, if you're viewing this thread please tell me if you will host or not. Every song so far has Beginner through Heavy and/or Challenge difflculty except one(No Beginner). And I am most certainly not dealing with noob files, these are excellent sim artists.

[Mooga]

As long as there are full charts I'll probably do it.
Any idea on how big the final packs going to be? (file size and song)

[Kewing]

I can contribute if you want (go take a look at my sims for reference material http://www.bemanistyle.com/sims/profile.php?id=1315).Don't know if I'm a good sim artist but I've done a couple fo them already . I have 2 questions tho:
1- Are you looking for already released sims or unreleased ones?
2- Are DDR remixes and edits accepted (I think yes but I want to make sure)? If so, I have quite a few released already.

Well, I'm shooting for anywhere from 50 to 75 songs. Some songs are going to have videos so that will make a big difference in size. I'm gonna guess anywhere from 200 to 350 megabytes.

As long as it's released before the pack is done.

I actually never really thought about this. I'll of course except DDR edits, but DDR remixes... I'm not totally sure about that. Maybe, it depends on who remixed it, and what it sounds like. If DM Ashura remixed it, I will gladly use it. In other words, I'll at least use your Vanity Angel remix. I actually have that sim in my SM, but I never really thought about it. Thanks for mentioning that question.

If you specify which remixes it is you want to me to use tell me, and I'll look at them, and think about it. But keep it at very few, and thanks for wanting to help.

dude. u have a lot of sims.

[SulferDragon]

tsugaru7reveng, how about me using SA-DA-ME, and Ring? I think SA-DA-ME is excellent, and if I could use it that would rock. Ring is easy, but it flows really well.

[Super_Ray]

If you want more pop'n music stuff for your pack, you can use any of my pop'n sims you like!

[SulferDragon]

I plan on it Super_Ray. I'm just having a really hard time figuring out what's the best stuff of yours to use.
