Hello dear User,

Thank you for downloading the Ilonaya's Anime Simfiles 1-25 pack. I hope you will
have a lot of fun playing this pack, and be sure to suggest this pack to your
friends, and their friends as well!

Anyway, I'm Ilonaya, as you might have already expected. I've played stepmania
since the start of August 2007. Gathered many songs, especially anime ones, but
somehow I felt something was missing. Sometimes the sims I play have too little
of what I like, and too much of the kind of steps I don't like. Or sometimes no
one even stepped a song I like.

That is why I decided to start making simfiles myself. The readme you are
currently reading is from my 1-25 anime pack; which contains my first ever 25
songs. Please refer to the contents further ahead in this document to see which
songs these are.

First I will explain something about the style, after which I'll give you the
contents of this pack, concluded by a credits list.

Thank you for being interested in my pack, and please don't mind any errors XD
Since it is my first pack anyway. Thanks!

Ilonaya

Otaku's Dream


Updated 5 October 2007: I got word that the videos do not work in StepMania 3.9.
                        This has now been corrected.


======
STYLE:
======
Most of the sims are made according to my own style. It may differ quite a lot
from what you're used to. But that's exactly the gap I tried to fill up. In
short, my style is as follows:

- VOICE FOCUSED: The steps fit vocals. As the difficulty becomes easier,
                 everything is stripped away except for the vocals. Also, holds
                 originating from voices are usually just as long as the voice.

- HOLDS: I like holds, a lot. Most of the songs this pack contain a mountain of
         holds. Most tones or vocals longer than a set length usually turn into
         holds if the steps permit.

- HOLDHANDS: This does not mean I use a lot of hands; I use many holdhands. This
             would be defined as a hold together with a jump. These are applied
             when the steps permit.

- JUMPS: Another thing I like. Usually used for voice steps, or for intense or
         combined tones. Also used for emphasis, together with hands.

- STREAM: Most of the harder songs contain some sort of relatively slow stream.
          That is because I don't really like superfast whatever-th streams,
          and as such the streams are usually limited to 16ths, unless they are
          special solos.

- NO MINES: I hate mines. You won't find any of them in my sims.

Especially on my few first sims, you can see the style differs a bit from this.
But it developed over time, and is currently as stated. (Grow my own style).

It might take a while to get used to this, or you might not even like it. I
tried to make it as player-friendly as I could though.

Note that some of the easier modes may feel rather boring or plain, but as you
climb up to the maximum level, the richness of the steps increases.
