This is my entry for the skinning contest #3. This skin is themed about the cutest Deltarune character: Ralsei, and uses the tritanopia color palette. As always, I tried to give to the player the best gameplay possible.
I made the art myself.

With 1119 votes, the skin got the 2nd place OwO! I didn't excepted to reach such a high place with this skin. I really did my best for making the cutest and with the best gameplay I could made. Thanks you so much for your support ^^.

Note: The video shows you the version 1.1 of the skin.

You can personalize the skin with the files inside the Extras folder, such as change notes or change skin screen size ratio.

How to use an extra?
Versions 1.2 and newer
Each folder is 1 Extra. To apply an Extra:
  1. Open the folder of the Extra you want.
  2. Copy ALL files on it (except the files starting by a '!').
  3. Paste the files in the skin's root folder.
  4. If there's a '!INSTRUCTIONS.txt', there's specific manipulations to do. Just follow them.
  5. If there's a '!SKIN.INI_VALUES.txt', you will have to edit manually the skin.ini file in the skin's root folder too. Open the file with a text editor.
    * Text in [] represents the beginning a section.
    * Each other line is in the format '<Setting>: <Value>'.
    For specific sections, you will have some settings with a specified value.
    For each setting, find it inside the skin.ini, then replace the value by the one given inside the '!SKIN.INI_VALUES.txt' file.
    If the setting doesn't exists, add it (still in the correct section), with the value given in the '!SKIN.INI_VALUES.txt' file.
/!\ If the Extra contained an skin.ini file, custom skin.ini values may has been overwritten. If you used another Extra which included a '!SKIN.INI_VALUES.txt' file, repeat step 5 for each Extra with such a file to ensure that everything works properly.
Versions 1.0 and 1.1
  1. Open the skin folder, then open the folder Extras.
  2. You can see the list with all Extras. Choose the element you want and open it to see all versions of the element available and open the related folder.
  3. (Skip this step if it's a patch which change the screen ratio.) Then open the folder with the option which interest you.
  4. Copy all files.
  5. Paste these files in the skin folder. If there is already existing files, replace them.
Note: you don't need to manually modify skin.ini

List of available Extras:
  1. 16:9 and 16:10 screens patchs: change skin screen ratio.
  2. CTB bananas: 2 styles, in 2 sizes each.
  3. CTB fruits: 2 sizes. Note: doesn't modify the bananas!
  4. Cursor: 3 colors. (only 2 in versions 1.0 and 1.1)
  5. Hit300 taiko: enable/disable them during gameplay.
  6. Hit320 mania: enable/disable them during gameplay.
  7. STD Hitcircles: 5 differents styles (v1.2+ only)

If you downloaded the no character skin version before 2022/08/23 18:03 GMT+2, REDOWNLOAD the skin!

There was incorrect files in the 16:9 patch, making the skin broken on 16:9 skin, and it's been fixed. The normal version doesn't have this issue.

Sorry.

OMG the menus look * fabulous *

This skin is literally the only one of all the contest submissions that I can enjoy the std gameplay with. The minimalist style really fits the rest of the design. I only play on lazer so I can't see much of your art, but I really respect the time and effort you put into this. Well done.

wOw this is super cool :O
Walisbad
solid gameplay! ik the miss sound is from deltarune when you're damaged, but it's louder than normal hitsounds which freaked me out.

would def recommend to my friends. thanks for creating this skin :D

if we get a Niko from OneShot minimalist skin then we have completed the cycle
Swe_Submarine
I loved this skin so much more than I expected to, but for me the miss sound is just a bit too loud, I'll probably end up editing it myself as I really like the skin, but it could be cool to just include either a more standard or a quieter miss sound in the extras folder.

i quit the skinning thread a very long time ago (for reasons i wont talk about here), but i just wanna say this

as a retired skinner, and someone who looked at your not-so-well-made standard maps, you blew my expectations out of the water. the only nitpicks i have are either subjective, or can be solved by adding extra elements.

i don't care what will be the contest results, but words cannot describe how impressed i am at the quality and attention to detail this skin delivers. please keep going
KWYJIBO
had a look at all the skins and this one has by far the best ctb skin in my personal opinion it is clean and the ryuuta on the og version looks quite nice as well and isn't just a plain fruit platter which is definitely good for me personally. I like that score and hp are very compact and out of the way as well and the clean circles are quite easy on the eyes, I hope this one at the least gets podium.
JustABeginner
Hi!
Taking some time to review your skins (last minute). Here's what I have to say in general:

Positive Review
- The only interesting colour.
- Sound choice fits well.

Improvement
! Nothing to say much here.

Suggestion
~ None.

I was concerned of how some parts of your the elements have rough edges but turns out it's part of the skin. lel
Congrats upon participating in a skinning contest! c:

P.S: Nice Ralsei drawing.

Update v1.2!!!

I listened to your feedback since the release of the v1.1, especially about the bad combo break, and also made a few improvement of what I wanted to have as a user of this skin. I also added new features that has been asked in this thread or on Reddit, such as circles notes in Mania or "Rafis HDDT" hitcircles.

Details of the update:
  1. Result screen: fixed the incorrect opacity of the cell "Total Score", row 1.
  2. Replaced the combobreak sound by a better one, whoich sound better and not loud as hell.
  3. Made combo colors (default colors of hitcircles and fruits) brighter.
  4. Made the hit50/100 in STD, Taiko hit150 and Mania hit100/200 darker to increase their contrast, especially with the hit300.
  5. Added missing @2x sprite version of combo-x.png.
  6. Added custom pause-loop song.
  7. Changed the way Extras are organized: now all Extras are given in the same folder with an unique number.
To give you more personalisation of the skin, I also added some new Extras.
  1. Added 4 more hitcircles styles (NM1 no glow, NM2 glow/no glow, DT).
  2. Added Mania circles style.
  3. Added yellow cursor.
