Currently debating whether I should make an update on this skin or create a new one. What do you guys think? Leave a Comment Below and tell me what you think!
So why cyber.KIN3TIK?
Well, that's pretty simple. There's alot of skins out there that I like to play with. However, I kept having issues reading them, or getting the right audio feedback that I wanted. So I decided to make a skin that focused not only on aesthetic, but readability, immersion and audio feedback. Making a theme focused on things like Mardock Scramble, Ghost in a Shell, Blade Runner and even elements from the Synthpop artist Kavinsky just seemed like the right place to start.
I also wanted a theme in my collection that didnt focus on anime, or was way TOO minimal. I wanted the best of both worlds.
So focusing on easy gameplay, and audio feedback is why this skin is called KIN3TIK. Hopefully this skin not only helps you read OSU STD better but also gives you an immersive gameplay experience.
This skin is still in AlphaStage so alot of things may be a little buggy. I'm only releasing it because I'd like to get suggestions and opinions and I can't fully do all the debugging since my skill set doesn't allow me to do insane maps and I don;t know how this skin will play at that level.
If you find something weird, out of place or just doesn't fit the theme or takes out that immersive feeling shoot me a PM.
Also, I don't mind suggestions, I'm always looking for more ways to improve the skin.
I am looking to finish up the STD version of this first then, with the right feedback I might expand the skin to other modes.

BUT IS IT BROKEN?
Pause Screen
On screens using lower resolutions than 1920x1080
I do know that the pause screen acts a little wonky.
This is not by design. I wanted to create something that felt a little different than the normal pause screen.
Although it has been "perfected" (using that term reallly loosely), in resolutions 1920x1080 and the SD Version of the skin; I'm still tinkering with how to make it perfect across all screens.
Depending on feedback I may just create a standard pause screen rather than keep chasing this idea. But we'll see. I would love to see this pause screen come to life, but after tinkering with it for days I will release it as is in alpha and move on from there.
Sounds
This being my first skin I have no idea just how many sounds I can change, or would want to change [Yes, I have read the sound wiki, but its hard to test certain sounds. So if anyone has any suggestions for sound testing (maps with only normal sounds, drum sounds, soft sounds), I would seriously appreciate it.]
If you guys do find a sound that sounds off, too loud, thats defaulted, or that simply takes away from the aesthetic send me a PM and I'll take the time to look at it.
Usage on Smaller Screens
I have fully tested this skin on both kinds of resolutions, but sometimes when you're working, or you get distracted by that one REALLY good song; you tend to get distracted. So if theres anything messing up or acting wonky let me know.
No Other Modes
Currently I only play STD. So I am looking to finish interface and the STD mode of this skin first.
Then maybe, if theres enough push I'll definately look into expanding the skin into other game modes.

GIVING CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE
-yuo-
YUO! The spinner in my current skin could not have been completed without Yuo. Yuos' NIGHTGATE skin was a huge catalyst for me even making this skin. But Yuos' spinner was a huge influence on mine. Not to mention the wizardry and witchcraft behind color theory to make it look and react exactly as i wanted it to. So thank you so so much for such an amazing answer and all the help that you offered!
Choilicious
For always being kind and patient with answers and never making me feel like a noob.

For being one of the scariest mfs in this community, but for also setting me straight and pushing me to create something truly original. Keeping the standards of the Skinning Community High and never letting the Golden Age of Skinning die.
Snoopipiz
FOR GETTING ME ADDICTED TO FU#$%@# OSU!
For always looking for bugs and giving great insight into the direction of the skin. SEE I FIXED THE MENU (the menu before this one was atrocious. It was circular and had to go all around the edges to even get a button to expand.). For pushing me to actually finish and publish this skin. Hopefully Lyra likes it too
