While we're here, many ZIV members are participating in Summer Contest 2013, a competition where members create simfiles for songs based off a weekly theme. Our very own RIME submitted an excellent simfile for HachioujiP's "Candii" last week. Expect a lot of 16th notes, cause it was 16th note week of course.
This song was going to be added to the Chrystalize pack in this patch, but since I wanted to maintain my word about having only pony music in Chrystalize, I guess we could call it a part of TrotMania Chronicles or something? Oh wait, did I just hint at a possible compromise?
Yep!
Originally, the plan for the Extras was to have 4 pony songs and 1 non-pony song, all added to Chrystalize. Now, when you download the patch, you'll have a new category to play with, TrotMania Crusaders. Here's where songs that are stepped by our regulars for the game but are unrelated musically and/or graphically to the series will be, and I assure you support will be good, better than the original plan. This also means that the 4 pony song number will not necessarily be a limit for Chrystalize Extras, with the chance of more in the future, so everyone wins!
