I was tasked with making a chart to this file for a secret santa jam type thing, so I had a bit of fun with it.
The first thing I noticed about this song is that there's a constant tapping rhythm going on throughout the whole song, so I decided to map all of those to the up arrow, and chart the rest of the entire song around that.
Then, I found that it was cool that you could totally ignore the up arrow in some spots, and you'd still end up with valid patterns! So what I did, was I made the whole up arrow completely optional, so you don't get misses for ignoring it. There is a counter at the end, and you are still awarded score for hitting them as if they were normal notes (so you need all of them for 100%)
The background uses a rendertexture (AFT) to capture a bunch of objects then display it twice, with one instance being slightly larger and brighter than the other. Then, I draw a polygon ring that acts as a mask such that wherever the polygons are, the larger/brighter layer is visible. Timing the pulses of this to the song creates this simple but nice looking visual. Then various graphics fade in on the rendertexture's capture layer. That bg stuff was made in about 6 hrs I think.
It's my gameplay of the stage in the video.

I love how the fact Up is a constant pattern means you can just go nuts with it without being unreadable

[@awriterandabird]

this must be that Up dog everyones talking about
this is seriously really fuckin cool though, in love with this concept tbh

[@Lumbud84]

this is such a small gimmick but it adds so much to the chart as a whole, it's incredible :>
also i really enjoyed the stamina-heavy part from 1:52-2:27, the up-arrow gimmick makes it so much more fun to play since it not only challenges your footspeed but also your ability to understand the gimmick and how to apply it.
awesome work >v

[@Riprider_Music]

Holy.... As a music enthusiast, I loved the way you put the snare to the up arrow. As a modchart player stuck on 9s, I hate that you put the snare to the up arrow and the mods you used lol. I got so tripped up on the shadow-sightread on my keyboard, but I also can't wait to attempt to play this for myself... emphasis on attempt. (Also I assume the "Secret Santa Jam" was make a modchart for a specific person?)

[@watdabubukidoin]

it's an open entry modchart submission

[@louizeandrei]

this is like playing a VSRG and rhythm heaven minigame at the same time , this is nuts

[@chervilious]

Taro you never cease to amaze me...

[@aquaexnar3093]

8 years later and i still don't understand how to read this shit. thanks taronuke for running my brain up to a 95% computational processing overload.

[@thelastrob7877]

Glad i found billiummoto through notITG. All their songs are great

[@israelliven7463]

Wow! TaroNuke, it has been like a while since you have finally modcharted a new one and I was looking forward to this one!

[@petey5009]

Such a small gimmick makes for such an interesting chart, this is really cool

[@JasonBaby87]

I had a hard time figuring out the up rhythm at first. Now it's stuck in my head...

[@ZXCubed]

taro is an up arrow lover tbh

[@flagonking1337]

No offense to this awesome vid or anything, but...when is UKSRT11 coming? I know Covid must have screwed things up, but it's been a year since the projected release date, so I'm mildly curious is all...

[@Taro4012ITG]

2024 or 25

[@Menosh]

it's 3 am here but I'm right on time for new taro file
EDIT: Are the two sides supposed to be slightly different scroll speeds? The right is slightly slower than the left.

[@Taro4012ITG]

yeah, you can choose a speed mod for this

[@aceeissucco654]

[@LeOwwAndRose]

How good did it feel to full combo the final stream near the end?

[@Taro4012ITG]

if you look at the middle of the screen it always lines up correctly

[@Cmmf_]

Pog

[@abacussssss]

1, 3, 1 2, 4, 2 3...

[@Taro4012ITG]

wtf that is a genuine error

[@DarkThePurple]

Up

[@PeterLawrenceYT]

So if you can't count, you'll get misses.

[@Taro4012ITG]

the up arrow is actually totally optional!

[@SMmarcus100]

So, what's up?

[@eversiege]

While rewatching, I noticed up arrow is giving double combo, is it intentional? If so, why?

[@Taro4012ITG]

it's not
jumps give double combo though
