the story behind this map

i first met Ecky P. himself years ago on Gelar Jepang Universitas Indonesia (GJUI)'s Doujin Market stand, in where Vesuvia Project's debut album "Lonely Night" was being premiered. interested in it, i bought the album personally (which consists of orchestral arrangements from Touhou songs) and exchanged contacts and name cards with him.

i left the album for a good while above my PC desk, nearly leaving it into oblivion until a certain osu! player one day brought up the name "Vesuvia Project" on #indonesian. to my surprise it turned out that he knows Vesuvia Project quite well on a personal level, and therefore i contacted the composer and he's very delighted that i'm interested in mapping this song.

thanks to everyone in the Vesuvia Project for their kindness and their full support -- having ranked this is truly a privilege for me, and it would be very much appreciated if you could enjoy this mapset as well! o(^-^)o

Tags: Why Bandung, Indonesia? 'Cuz you're move there XD /jk If you saw in the map's description it's related to the song, yes~

[Normal]
00:08:721 (2,3,4) - It better look like this imo http://puu.sh/406Oe.jpg I prefer the current flow...
00:18:645 (1,2,3,4,1) - Star shape? http://puu.sh/406Q0.jpg Yes it's meant to be like that - made it neater now, hopefully (:
00:18:645 (1) - Change into drum finish?
00:20:491 (1) - Remove clap on head? Did something else here, thanks for the inspiration!
00:57:414 (4) - Insert drum finish on head, remove drum finish on repeat
00:58:337 (5) - ^ Same Oh, it looks like you're modding from the easiest diff first... This is to follow the harder diffs + to give more variation (:
01:00:645 (3,4) - It better look like this imo http://puu.sh/406W6.jpg
01:03:414 (2,3) - It better look like this imo http://puu.sh/406Z7.jpg I prefer the current pattern on this, arranged the angle slightly though :3
01:15:875 (3) - Curve slider? like the previous one 01:14:029 (1) - Intentional, made the curve look better now though~

[Hard]
00:05:721 (1) - Change slider shape into curvy one http://puu.sh/4074G.jpg so It can fit the previous slider Current one is neater imo xD
00:06:414 (2) - Stack this on 00:05:721 (1) - It's tail I prefer to keep the flow moving, adjusted (2) slightly though
00:13:106 (1) - Change slider shape into curvy one http://puu.sh/4077J.jpg so It can fit the previous slider
00:13:798 (2) - Blanket this one Umm, I don't really feel good with the pattern in the example given ._.
00:18:645 (1) - Change into drum finish?
00:19:798 (4) - Remove finish
00:20:491 (1) - Remove clap from head Done as in Normal on these three
00:19:106 (2,4) - Why not stacked?
00:27:414 (6) - Ctrl+J and move to x:476 y:68
01:13:568 (4,2) - Why not stacked? These three is intentional, including that manual-stack xD
01:24:183 (3) - Change to curvy one like this http://puu.sh/4079N.jpg Decided to tweak the (4) here
01:27:875 (3) - Change slider to this http://puu.sh/407bw.jpg Prefer the current pattern...
01:32:029 (4) - Change slider to this http://puu.sh/407ds.jpg This is great, done!

[Lunatic]
00:18:645 (1) - Change into drum finish?
00:19:568 (3) - Remove clap from tail?
00:20:491 (1) - Remove clap? Did these three as in the previous diffs
00:45:414 (3) - Change to curve slider http://puu.sh/407KK.jpg I get your point there but I want to keep the straight slider personally (:
00:45:875 (4) - Ctrl+H move to x:348 y:376
00:46:798 (2) - Ctrl+H move to x:216 y:248 Yep, again your variation works also here but I'd keep consistency with previous pattern here~
00:52:337 (2) - Ctrl+J move to x:428 y:284 Wanted to make this flow with (3) instead, moved down a bit though
01:17:721 (1) - Ctrl+H move to x:392 y:32 I wanted to make this flow together with (7) :3

hi, mod req from my queue

[Normal]
01:01:568 (4) - imo it looks better to put this lower I see no harm on doing this, sure~

[Hard]
00:05:029 (3) - curve the other way? I prefer my current one, personally xD
01:06:645 (1) - a little shock transition from 1/4 to 1/3, delete 01:06:952 (2) and lenghten this slider to 01:06:952 I prefer to keep the rhythm consistency here...
01:26:183 (4) - change to soft finish instead? Umm, did you mean 01:25:568 (2)? Done

[Lunatic]
Clean~

hey, I saw this CD too at GJUI, but I bought the Reimu's Tale one
too clear ;w; sorry for poor mod. good luck~ I have the composer's full contact (even name cards), if you'd like~

  CS 3 aja, tau sndiri lah udh diff yg paling gampang. newbie bakal mati kalo CS 4 CS4 is intentional, yep (: (I've been doing the same thing also on http://osu.ppy.sh/s/49800 xD
  kalo buat bpm 130, coba AR 4 aja? Okay
  00:05:721 (3) - space 1,28 nya Fixed
  00:05:721 (3) - whistle itentional? kerasa aneh aja ...they do the same thing though, fixed anyway ._.
  00:27:875 (1) - spacing nya 1,13 Fixed this part's symmetry issue
  01:10:337 (1) - gedein aja volume nya? gk kerasa finishnya duar gtu *plak* Umm, I see no need for this o.o
  01:23:721 (3) - 376,188? Moved somewhere else~

• 
  Hard
  00:07:337 (5) - geser dikit biar spacing nya konsisten? Err, I see no spacing inconsistency here o.o
  00:17:491 (2) - 424,304 biar lbh branket? Done
  00:20:029 (5) - gk d NC aja? perbedaan spacing nya kerasa The accelerated spacing is already visible on 1-2-3-4-5-6 sequence actually (:
  00:26:837 - add note? Err, this would be too hard for Hard imo...
  00:37:568 (3) - ctrl+G? biasanya style mu itu niv *runs* Yes I'm aware of this, I don't CTRL+G this for variation :3
  01:23:260 (1) - kalo bisa reduce spacing? serem jg 1/3 jump gni Can't think of anything else here ._. (also ini masih tergolong mudah kalau dibandingin sama Lunatic *hides*)

• 
  Insane
  00:14:260 (4) - delete terus bikin branket dari copas 00:13:798 (3) - (keliatan dari ngemod kalo gk branket) Err I CTRL+J-ed this from (3)... No intention for a blanket pattern here though o.o
  00:49:798 (9) - 312,112?
  00:50:029 (1) - kalo ikut atas. 396,112? Reworked the entire stream here, should be much tidier now
  00:56:029 (2) - lebih enak flownya sih kalo d ctrl+G
  00:56:952 (4) - ^ In short-term yes, but in long-term the transition on (2,3) and (4,1) would be awkward...
  01:00:760 (8) - lebih lurus kalo 99,169 imo Err, can't really judge here (only 1 x-coordinate difference orz ._.) - leaving as is (:
  01:30:645 (1) - ctrl+G biar jumpnya kek gtu aja? gue lbh suka sih Done
  01:35:260 (6) - NC buat ke baca jumpnya? Not really sure about this as I'd like to keep the combo consistency as well, again leaving as is...

nice deh map nya
Good Luck yaaa jgn smpe kek hamo ~
i need ur mod too

bad modder come to ruin this map ~~~

[lunatic]
00:13:798(3,4) - ctrl J+G for both, i'd like to play with this Umm, it'll result in a same patten as is o.o - Fixed distance inconsistency here though~
01:02:029(3) - drum finish? on head
01:02:837 - add note, terdengar enak, it just like a sudden stop for this diff only... Sengaja kak, di sana nggak ada apa-apa soalnya :3
01:04:568(10) - drum finish on 2nd repeat
01:05:721(3) - drum finis?on head Among these three I chose to add the last one instead (it helps the buildup, thanks~)
01:13:875 (4) - change to 1/6 repeat then add note to this time?
01:28:645 (6) - ^ Err, I'm sure there's no 1/6 there o.o

[hard]
00:17:491(2) - i don't think branket, or it just my wrong feel, maybe move 304,336? This is from Xinely's mod, keeping as is (:

[normal]
fine~

no kudosu...
i think it should have more drum finish variation on stream~~
good luck niva XD~

00:14:260 (1) - Remove New Combo?
00:14:952 (2) - New Combo?
00:16:798 (1) - Remove New Combo? Reworked the NC-ing here according to this post~
00:54:645 (4) - This is blocked by combo counter. Consider altering it? o3o Hmm, I'm fine as is personally :3
01:35:721 (5,6,1) - Change to one slider? Personally I think three circles would give more impression towards the ending, I added an extra finish on (6) though (:

[Hard]
No problem, I think. :3
01:06:644 - Caught myself off-guard when the rhythm changed into 1/3 while testplaying. Dx I've wrote about this in the map's description - the song is like that o.o

[Lunatic]
00:09:414 (1,2,3,4,5,6) and 00:16:798 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3) - New Combo inconsistencies. Either add new combo on 00:10:568 (4) or remove new combo on 00:17:952 (1) . Oh yeah, didn't noticed this one - did the first option, thanks for noticing!
01:09:875 (5,6,7) - 1/4 triplet in 1/3 rhythm can be a bit unexpected imo. o3o
01:24:645 (7,8,9) - ^
01:32:029 (4,5,6) - ^ The song is like that, so... yeah :3
