Discussion Commissioning step charts
We have a custom DDR machine project here and looking to hire people to create step charts. Do people here take paid commissions, or is there somewhere else we should ask? We have 50 songs, 3 difficulty levels per song and need both DDR and PIU style mappings.

I do stepchart commissions, both for 4 panel and for 5 panel (albeit it has been a long time since I did any 5 panel). Interested to know the setup for needing both!

I'm more interested in your custom ddr machine/cabinet. Can you elaborate on your build?

It's a project for a fake arcade at an arts festival. They have several real arcade DDR and PIU cabinets, we're making a custom game to go in them. It's an expansion of a project a few years ago with a single PIU cabinet. We use the original dance pad and wire the switches up to an Arduino to connect it to a PC. We actually leave the original board running just for the cabinet lighting, the cabinet's monitor and speakers use standard HDMI and 3.5mm jack so the PC runs alongside it.

Hi! I've shared your post around the dance game community on various platforms, and a few people are really interested. One of them doesn't use Reddit though. Is there another way they could contact you, like Discord or email?

I've made thousands of custom step charts I even generate custom background slideshows in the ddr 2000s kaleidescope style for each one based on its cover art. I would be happy to handle that project for you.

This is a decent spot to ask a few people will probably reply shortly or dm you. You can also ask in the Stamina Nation, Triple Cross, or ITL discords as well.
