DDR 2014 AC theme for Stepmania 5

DDR 2014 - SM5 Theme

Info

Welcome to the beta 1.1 version of the DDR 2014 (1280x720) theme for StepMania 5. We have tried to make it as accurate as possible using recreated graphics, sounds and coding.

Coming soon:

• eAmuse(ish) system. I have the ideas, just not the coding
• know-how.
• Cut-ins. It's not 100% necessary but it'll be there.
• Target score, should I ever figure out how to do it.

Screens left to update:

• ScreenGameplay
• ScreenSelectStyle
• ScreenSelectMode

There's nothing wrong with these but we plan to redo the graphics.

Enjoy and feel free to modify.
