Special Thanks to: Soap box time. PotassiumF for being the best rival/playtester/helper/encouragement that someone could have. juankristal, Kamikaze, Evening and Protastic101 for believing in my maps and putting in the time to help them reach the ranked section. It's admirable what you guys do for this game. Pope Gadget and Abraxos for the support over the years. Dreamwalker, Unpredictable and Hydria for pretty much being the reason why I'm back at all. shadowsnoop for being a great mentee. And to all those mappers out there that strive to do something different, that aren't afraid of experimentation, and continue to create in their own vision.
Ordered from most recent to oldest. This is highly likely to be out-of-date by the time you're reading this.
RANKED:
Yeek - Freaky (RGB) My first proper taiko map, and also my first ranked taiko map! The map is pretty simple and short, just some wavy SV and a vibey song.
ROSALÍA - A Palé Rules-based LN map with some unconventional patterning. Something a little different.
Tigran Hamasyan - What The Waves Brought 6 minutes of live-timed jazz piano. Extremely PR based patterning and layering, designed to match as close as possible with the real thing. Really proud of this one! Edit: It won 1st place in the Anti-Meta category in the 2021 Mappers Choice Awards!
Tennyson - XYZ Just a nice all-rounder map with some SV/LN.
Ekcle - The Impulsive State Probably my best map. Marathon length with sight-readable SV, LN-skewed mapping, technical and unorthodox patterning. Pretty much shows my style in a nutshell.
Culprate - Finger VIP Was controversial at the time due to the amount of SV, not so much anymore. A third of the map is LN, with some fun techy bits. The lower diffs are pretty fun despite the SR.
Igorrr & Ruby My Dear - Figue Folle My most known map, and also my first ranked map. A little different from my mapping style today, and the top difficulty has some issues (just play the Brutal diff instead), but still interesting to play.
LOVED:
Knapsack - difficulties of getting out of bed Just messing around with some gimmicky SV. Turned out to be way more popular in the mania community than I thought! My first Loved map.
Leslie - Cyclone My favourite taiko project so far! Fairly unorthodox swing map with SV. Really hoping to rank this!
Pocket & Rohaan - idontwannabeafraid Originally thought this map was boring, but I now think it's really satisfying to play. May attempt to rank.
Left at London - Pills & Good Advice Easily my most ambitious taiko project to date. 10 minute marathon with full SV. Proved to be very difficult to find interested BNs, however, as my pitch-based SV approach did not gel with many nominators.
Jaron - WIRES222 Experimenting with taiko a bit more. Some odd rhythms. Closer matches my mania mapping style than my other taiko maps, I think.
PASSEPIED - MACCA MECCA Second taiko map. Quite standard mapping-wise, but I still think it's pretty fun and comfortable to play.
six impala - ri pple Straight up just a minijack control map. Quite out of my comfort zone, still don't know how to feel about it. Mapset contains rates.
salute - Silver Tides This map sat unsubmitted for over a year before I decided to publish it. Not overly interesting, just a nice low-end LN map.
Carnage & Borgore - Incredible Originally made for an SV sightreading tournament that got cancelled, this one is a super gimmicky SV map, with a collection of reading and memorization effects. I'm surprised this one wasn't more popular.
underscores - Spoiled little brat First time making an osu!standard map! Probably not for me, as I found the mapping process very tedious. I probably went overboard with the fast slider speeds, but I think it's not bad for a first attempt.
Oro Swimming Hour - Vantablack Highly expressionist and abstract LN patterning. Trying out something new. I actually really love how this turned out, but will likely be unpopular with most players.
Arca - Mequetrefe A difficult and experimental map. Very jacky tech stuff. Possibly the most difficult thing I've made aside from Figue Folle's top diff.
SCRIPT - 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓃𝓀 𝓊, 𝓃𝑒𝓍𝓉 A short, messy and chaotic map. Lots of LN and mildly uncomfy and tiring patterns.
Yoko Kanno - walt First time doing this kind of variable-bpm live timing. PR map. Fully keysounded too!
YK. - Egg Of Life (Mwila Remix) My first "proper" map. Also the first time that my current mapping style started peeking through.
COLLECTIONS
Para's Piano Collection Fully keysounded, heavily PR mapped, multi keymode. There's no backing track so make sure your hitsound volume is turned up.
Para's Chill & Ambient Collection An assortment of chill low SR maps. There's some surprisingly tricky LN mapping in a few of them (notably Nothingness and This Place Was A Shelter).
