¶ Structure
Each simfile will have 3 charts, in a similar style to Zaia's Dance Dance Rebuild (2023).
¶ Development
The origin for a IIDX ITG pack began in the aftermath of my curation for Stamina RPG 6 2022 DPRT faction. I was listening to the IIDX 29 CastHour ost (after my attention had been drawn to it from stepping Flying Castle), and found a number of songs I thought might be really fun to step. Most of the pack was stepped throughout the second half of 2022.
With the release of IIDX 30 RESIDENT and IIDX 31 EPOLIS, the pack size increased from the originally intended 40. IIDX 32 Pinky Crush is not being considered for this pack.
This pack is currently stuck in lowers hell.
¶ Artistic Influences and Chart Design
In early 2022 I found myself at a juncture in tech that I could not ignore. I noticed that my tech charts were becoming more technically complex, and that if this trend continued, would begin to work to the detriment of the charts. I began making conscious decisions to use less techs, and the first chart that was stepped for the TechDX project was an intentional effort to limit the tech usage. When I was very pleased with the finished result, I decided to try writing more charts with less techs and the songs I happened to be experimenting with were all IIDX songs. I decided to begin collecting these into one folder and curating a songlist.
¶ Graphics
Each simfile contains unique graphics, made over December-January 2022-2023.
The pack banner was completely made from scratch.
