That part at 4:15 is beautiful. This whole stage looks like all (or a good amount) of the dirty tricks from past SRTs joined into one file of pure hell.

[@dj505Gaming]

WHAT. HOW CAN ANYONE EVEN READ THIS. You guys are officially the rulers of Stepmania and all rhythm games.

[@Taro4012ITG]

it's definitely the hardest course I've made. But the contestants are Kris (the guy who always wins UKSRT) and freakin' WINDEU, so I had to go HARD.

[@CaroFDoom]

This is harder than The Song That Might Play When You Fight Sans April Fools Edition?

[@Taro4012ITG]

you can't really compare them, they're two completely different kinds of file. Song That Might Play when you fight Sans took 30 minutes to make, and is mostly a bunch of RNG bullshit where I didn't care if it came out possible or not. This, I spent like 18 months making and refining and fine tuning.

[@GooberLP]

+taro4012 Would you call this harder than your omega flowey file?

[@xany407]

There's more to a file than it being hard. You could have a super hard file, but it could be no fun whatsoever to play. I'm assuming its about finding the balance between making a file that's difficult, while also having it so it's still fun for the players to react to. I'm just a novice on rhythm games tbh, but that's what I think.

[@tracyblanchard7663]

I like the thematic progression of the song. You fight the disease that causes minor symptoms (shown by minor changes, such as bobbing, intimidating multiplication, and simple switching), then move on to the moderate symptoms, shown by the double red line, adding mines, and the invisible rhythmic pattern, then move on to the insane shit shown by the screen blocking, freezeframing, and the rotating centralisation. Really cool shit.

[@Taro4012ITG]

also the BPM gets gradually lower as the song progresses, too! dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2526020/uksrt8_tease/shametex.PNG also see this, this is the texture that obscures the screen

[@Halogenvsrg]

I play both pad and keyboard actively, and well... my hope is that some day, somewhere in the potentially distant future, we can have content creators going over to the keyboard side and actually making things that are innovative and incredible like this. To me, *this* is where it's at -- this kinda of gameplay far transcends anything that keyboard players have and currently will ever make, and well, while pad play has experienced other cool manipulations of play, they've certainly never experienced it to this extent. Your work helps exemplify what can truly be done besides mindless keysmashing/pad stomping, and I think that's great. This stage was absolutely amazing from start to end, and the progression in difficulty is just perfect.

[@ExVeekun]

I totally agree with you on this. I always wanted to really experience this type of gameplay within the keyboard world. Also, props to you Taro, this was outstanding and I couldn't get enough of it.

[@ExVeekun]

Oh yeah, I had another question in mind. I've noticed that for this stage, it's actually in 16:9 instead of the usual 4:3. How do you make it like that? I've tried editing things in openitg (in the themes a.k.a metrics.ini and also other directory folders) except it never turned out how you see it in the video. Everything was fullscreen in 16:9 except everything was so small, it was also centered, so you saw the borders of the themes as well. I tried looking for GrooveNights V2 but that's probably long gone deleted or lost somewhere (V1 is out there but I don't think that works with widescreen).

[@Ky_Dash]

Afaik, this was a bug that caused this to happen, you can notice at points that the playfields seem stretched more than they should be (more noticeable on the intro)

Oh, yeah I know that much. I've had that before. I guess openitg doesn't really support widescreen so much. Thanks anyway

Could this be considered worse than the sans bossfight?

[@Taro4012ITG]

MEGALOVANIA was made in a few days and I genuinely consider it super easy. It's only hard for people who play mods. With THIS, I delibarately and carefully tuned every mod over the course of like a year and a half so that it was difficult (but not impossible!) for the most experienced mods players, as it's designed to be the final round of the tournament that the best mods players in the world are attending. Also, if you're talking about song that might play when you fight sans, I made that in 30 minutes and it's a bunch of RNG bullshit that I made without caring, which might be impossible, because it's an april fools joke. I have seen some people pass that, though.

[@eebydeeby.....]

+taro4012 ah, I mean in the actual game of Undertale. I literally know absolutely nothing about Stepmania or DDR programming and that stuff. I'm here to see the amazing stuff you put together. I can't even beat the super easy songs in DDR anyway.

[@Taro4012ITG]

oh right. It's actually pretty hard to make that comparison. But you know, I think you might be right. In the context of the tournament, there is no failure condition, but I tried it with lifebar today and got rekt (after getting past the first hard bit, upside-down section), so I think maybe they are kind of equivalent. If I played it a number of times similar to the number of attempts I took to pass the Sans fight, I'd probably pass it, so yeah

UKSRT8 is the only one that's used a custom "NOT ITG" program to run - It started out as my custom editor for mods courses (for use in normal ITG) but I started experimenting and adding NEW mods and features, and this tournament was the perfect opportunity to show it off.

[@PWXKN]

Damn, that sounds pretty cool. Do you ever plan to release it, or no? I'd be pretty interested to fuck around with the new mods if I can figure them out (the uksrt7.3 code is a maze (sorry lel), but I've had fun messing about with it).

[@Taro4012ITG]

if you can't do the song unmodded then it's actually a that that needs to be addressed first. Play songs until you can pass up to 10/11 difficulty, then you will be ready for the mods of this!
