StepMania is a cross-platform open source Dance Dance Revolution clone. It also has a builit in editor so you can make dance patterns for songs of your choice.
Let's make a course filled with good electronic music to replace all the pop trance and techno that is standard for the game.
Yeah, it's cheesey but it's fun.

ddr _should_ be done to idm. unfortunately, ddr is also retarded as all hell.

how about some real dance-pad steps by autechre or sqrpusher
being a pro myself, i need a new challenge cause all these ITG/DDR/STEPMANIA tracks is boring the shit out of me. the ones that are playable by foot mind-you. not down with the fingering shit

DDR is what it is. Trying to force IDM into DDR is like trying to play Bach over a Britney Spears video. Just because you play 'good' music over a 'cheesy' video won't make the final product any better. All it will do is strip both formats of their individual charm.

while not being too enthusiastic about bucephalus bouncing balls in ddr, i do think there is room for idm in ddr.

there are quite a few squarepusher and aphex tracks available by now.
i downed a couple of them, but most of them were in this ridiciulous unplayable difficulty settings.
dont see the point in a weird cascade of arrows.

two days ago i built me a quick dancepad and was utterly disappointed by the poor choice of original tracks in ddr. they lacked rythm and taste. so i started to implement a sugarhill gang track. next up was super mario land gb track. yakety yak and Raumagent Alpha - Bublbobl.
then i figured how to hunt down tracks instead of uploaded packs.
so now i try to gather those that are fun and dancable.
anyway there is a couple of more tracks i wanna finish myself and i wondered what other ziltians play ddr :)

this is a cool idea, just imagine the spazzy dance moves that go along with vordhosbn
been doing "Fitness Boxing" on the Switch.
Doing right hooks and uppercuts to Carly Rae Jepson and Video killed the radio star. Who needs integrity? At least I'm getting fit.

it could be pretty nice, vordhosbn is quite melodious, there are notes that could be held/pressed, plus the kicks are fun. there is no way you could possibly dance the fast snares (there could be quick combos though).
keep in mind its not about tapdancing. it doesnt work on a ddr dancepad anyway because of the distance of the buttons.
vordhosbn is also quite short as a track and it has been done. gonna check that one out.
most ddr tacks are less than two minutes, because its quite challenging for mind and legs. also in the arcade or if you play with friends at home you want to take turns quickly, to have nice cash flow and not get bored on the bench.
boxing could be real fun if you actually had to hit targets like in the fist of the north star arcade. i thought about building punch buttons for punch out and super punch out. or combine them with the mat buttons for evading and dodging. the problem i wasnt able to solve mounting the punch buttons in mid air. maybe some rubber bands hanging from the ceiling to the floor would do.

i'll play DDR in the arcade, but never got into the homebrew stuff
i love some of the DDR music, particularly cranky
i remember playing DDR at the student center in college for hours. then, back at the dorm, i splash some water on my face, full tetris effect, see a nebulous grid of DDR arrows ghosted across my field of vision. one of the first times i remember noticing tetris effect so crisply. more interesting was after a marathon study session, my field of vision being covered with nebulous differential equations that i could never quite read

hehe, last time i had something similar was after playing bit.trip runner.
since there are practically no arcades in germany and the arcade club i found out about just in time to visit once before corona shut it down for the year, playing at home is the only way right now.
bet there is a few fun stompers in original ddr, havent found any favourites so far. the homebrews have an equal hit and miss ratio, but they are songs i know and like and that worked rather well on "out of space" which is really done well with paused arrows and a really good overall pattern. really...

right so all of the packs containing vordhosbn are made for keyboard dancers with 600 arrows and over. is there a quick way to slow stepmania down to 33 rpm???

i used to make edits according to my dance steps. in my old flat i always listened to the tracks while making them in another room to feel them in my feet. then go back at them. havent made any music the past two years. feels like another lifetime by now.

if you know python that is. it could be done by slowing the track down in another program, then re-import and edit the bpm. timing should be the same then. while i was saying that jokingly it might actually be worth a try.
maybe some other day.

sometimes when i'm working on stuff in milkytracker i'll play it over and over as i job about the room, dancing, moving a bit, i feel like it helps me compute, running jobs on my neural DSPs. dancing to it forces you to summarize it, for lack of a better word, and that can help build something more solid in your hed

yes its a good way to figure out something natural. i remember in tracker software jeskola buzz there was a hint suggesting to tap your beat with two hands like imitating a drummer. if you can play your beats like that they ll feel good. not a bad approach either.
