Once again, we are looking for members to join the osu!stream team. Maps need to be of very high quality, and thus we need experienced mappers!
Requirements:
Application:
Requirements:
- At least one ranked mapset. We need to see that you can finish a set of difficulties and that they are of appropriate quality.
- Free time and dedication. osu!stream mapping requires commitment, and mapsets need to be finished in a timely manner (~2 weeks max).
- Only perfect mapsets will be released for the app, but other team members are always around to help mod your map to perfection!
- There are only certain types of music that you can choose to map (due to licensing/rights), but we still have quite a large collection that is ever-growing!
- Monetary reimbursement (for released mapsets only).
- Warm and fuzzy feelings that you were able to contribute to this fun game!
- You do not need an iOS device (iPhone/iPad/etc), but it helps for testing purposes! You can always just use (clean) hands on your PC monitor, or have another team member test your map for you, though!
- Tutorials are available for every aspect of osu!stream mapping!

Average: [amount of time (in days/weeks) to finish a full mapset]

To those who are accepted: Idle in IRC as much as possible. It's more encouraging when people are around to talk about mapping. Also, people can ask you for help and you can do the same. Not to mention, it lets us poke you about progress and sorting out who's doing what.
Give it a go if you know that you have enough time. People hedging their bets and having a go on a whim is exactly why we've seen dropped maps and zero progress for months at a time.
Having said that, if anybody contributes to an important pack and drops the ball, then somebody (probably me) will pick up the slack anyway. The way that I see it, there isn't a huge amount of pressure for one person to finish something, but having more people to share the load would push things forward much more effectively.
Also of note: People who are strictly "flow mappers" will probably have to adapt their style and get used to using more symmetry, or at least more balanced patterns. Remember that the maps need to make good use of both hands. Patterns will also need to be pretty, because of polish and, believe it or not, some customers actually whine if a map isn't pretty enough.
It may be that some people would have to rethink their style entirely, because slapping together a load of formless patterns in a vaguely balanced fashion will not result in a good map. That's just how it is.
