I would like to premise that, this project is 4k only.
On September 15th, 2025, I wanted to map something simple. The idea of mapping for thirty days straight didn't occur to me until I found another song that I wanted to map on the same day. But the quick realization of, "I never complete my maps most of the time" hit me.. and so, this idea formed. Simple, but maybe effective.
So, to further explain on that point, why? did I want to really do this, and why am I sharing it to other people?
Well, I suck at mapping. That's it, really. Even though I have my past experience, it's not enough to call myself worthy of a mapper! When it comes to my motivation in mapping overall, it tanks. hard. I overthink ideas way too often, and that leads to me not completing anything. Just another WIP waiting for another comment while I scroll in the song selection.. "oh, man I did so bad with this, let's not talk about this bad chart."
But I enjoy mapping. I just don't map enough, or at least, have the motivation to consistently map and trying to apply different ideas to further improve my own ideas. I also just really need to clear my playlist, my lord
As to why I want to share the experience.. I just think it'd be cool. You know, what if I inspire a single soul on the web on osu!mania 4k mapping? (or maybe other keys like a whale). I'm sure there's MANY other examples to take from, but the possibility is never impossible. There's nothing grand behind that.
Anyway, boring talk out of the way, progression !
It's a bit strange for me to post about this now, but I'm about 50% with this project already. I can say, with certainty, this will be completed all the way through. I think by now, there's plenty of content to be shared to the general base of the community to look over on.
During the process of this project, I've been exploring a variety of ideas that, most of the time, I generally lack in. LN dump special mention check sheesh.. And other ideas. Though the influence of my style is pretty much prevalent in every chart.
For every day, I also time myself on how long it takes to complete these maps. There's many variables to that.. drain time, use of patterns, am I familiar to a structure, mix of ideas, very VERY repeated drum kick beat. You know.
I think that's all I need to say about details. But now I ask, what do you guys want to see? After this project is over, I mean. I'm planning to have a showcase of all the maps and a personal tier list once each day is done, but I don't think I can cover more than that, really.
To close out with my final personal comments.. I've been having fun, most of the time. Still judge myself hard, but that's fine ! The experience feels like it has been worth-while, going the way I imagined. My motivation and proficiency have improve throughout so far.
If you wish to check out the current progression of the pack yourself, here's the link!
Also, if I posted in the wrong forum.. much rather have this moved to a proper thread than to have this locked.
Man I re-read all of this and I feel weird. Did I explain my intentions well? Overexplained? It's 1am, I'll worry about this later.
