    Stepmania Annotated

    Find us HERE.

    Stepmania Annotated is a new long-term project that aims to be an educational resource for stepauthors and players and a foundation for the academic study and discussion of Stepmania. Community members can upload their stepcharts to a YouTube channel and annotate their own files. In the future, I plan to integrate this project into a broader study of rhythm games, specifically by collaborating with The Playful Learning Database and working to start an annual Rhythm Gaming Convention (lofty plans, I know, but let's dream big!)

    RULES FOR UPLOADING VIDEOS:

    1. If you are interested in contributing to the database, please contact me at [email protected] so I can send you account info. Do not under any circumstances share this information with others - this is to protect the security of the account.

    2. All videos MUST be on autoplay with the stepchart on the LEFT side of the screen.

    3. When uploading videos, follow these guidelines:

    TITLE: Stepmania Annotated - (username) stepfile

    DESCRIPTION:
    Song: song title
    Artist: song author
    Stepauthor: username
    Stepped: year (packs, if included in any - otherwise write Single)

    Offer a brief paragraph about the background/conception of the file.

    TAGS: song author, username, Stepmania Annotated

    4. See this how-to on YouTube annotations and follow the instructions for your video. Annotations must be in font size 13 and go on the right.

    5. Until you have finished annotating your video, set the Privacy Settings to Private.

    That's it. I look forward to working with everybody here, and your feedback/comments are always welcome.

    Happy 2014!

    Sincerely,
    moches

      I am definitely going to do this when I have time later today. This is a fantastic idea.

      EDIT: is this just limited to SM-specific files? I don't have much to contribute on the SM side thanks to having a very small few bit of released files... I mean, I still intend on doing one for Contain, at the very least.

        Absolutely not! FFR files, solo files, and pad file are all welcome (I may have to ask you to make that clear in your description, though). Eventually we may even expand into other games (it would be AWESOME to have commentary on Soundodger or even osu!), but that might be unfeasible with the name of the account.

        Can't wait to see what you contribute

        Also, what program do you use to record your screen?
        Bandicam! Very easy to use and very good quality.

          OH MAN

          ok, now I'm interested, I could very strongly elaborate on PIU/ITG, and I have an arsenal of FFR files that have some interesting concepts as well. I'll definitely be contributing a few things to you -- look for a few tonight!

            Open Broadcasting Software (OBS) is the way to go

            OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) is free and open source software for video recording and live streaming. Stream to Twitch, YouTube and many other providers or record your own videos with high quality H264 / AAC encoding.

              This is the best way to teach a broad audience. I support this.. should have been done long ago when people played rhythm games.

                              I'm sorry if that's the case! Is it a computer issue or a specific issue with Stepmania? :/
