So if you are unfamiliar, sarcadian is pretty awesome. Synth/electronica with some very old-school/retrofuturist overtones - like listening to an 80's future/scifi action film :) There are some really cool videos on youtube - Chinatown, HE^RT, Ultralove, etc. GREAT stuff :)
One of the songs/videos is Dance or Die, and the video is basically an 80's looking dance-athon/competition with a twist - failure gets your head exploded by the evil overlord watching behind the scenes :)
Anyway - the song seemed perfect for stepmania, so I used it as the basis for my first attempt at a stepfile. Bonus: Sent the artist an email and got his approval to distribute as well :)
So the song is a bit longer than target - I actually edited the song down to just under 2 minutes, but had trouble finding a good cut spot for the video, and I really wanted to get the vid working in this one too, so I decided to do the whole 3-1/2 ish song instead. I do like playing a bit more lengthy song every once in a while anyway, myself.
so - Now it's time for feedback!! What did I do well? What did I screw up? (besides the length, anyway - though I do welcome feedback there as well, just I already know it's longer than preferred :) )
