does anyone know who makes up the step charts for the ddr songs. is there a board of people at konami or something that get together and make songs and steps for them.?? just wondering

get the booklet that comes with any ddr consloe game and llok in the back. it should say who made the songs. i think DDRMAX (US) even has pics of the songs creater, as long as they work for konami

AFRONOIA, they mean who makes the STEPS not the songs themselves.

Konami, most likely. they made the game, it justs makes sense that they made the steps as well.

... I think he meant specific people. Like on ITG it says "Expert steps by: K. Ward" or whoever. Maybe it's just me but I think it's kinda a given that Konami claims the creation of the steps.

Jason Enos told me that they hire an outside person. Someone who's good at dance and can make the steps fun but not awkward.

I don't really see why it would take a dance person to know what kind of steps work. I mean, at a certain level, any ddr player can tell you when steps just.. don't work, and when they're cool and there's an efficient way of doing them. Yeah, originally they'd probably need someone who already knows how the steps could go, but at this point players know.

Well, whoever it was, I'm sure they had a fun time deciding that Ultramix's version of "Look to the Sky (True Color Mix)" didn't need freeze arrows or that its version of "Candy <3" was better off with Candy (Star)'s steps. T_T

The people(or person) who made the steps in DDR Ultramix were hired by KCEH, not KCET.

So whoever decided it'd be fun to change the steps for Look To The Sky (True Color Mix) and Candy (Heart) was probably the person/people who also made the TERRIBLE steps for the UM1 original songs.

KCEH fired said person/people. They rehired new step creator(s) for UM2.

Yeah, I knew it was KCEH. They got fired? Good show, Hawaii.

Actually, the song makers, i.e. Naoki, Caramel S., Des-Row, etc., have very little to no involvment in the steps themselves, for the most part. Although, Caramel S. has admitted that he sometimes thinks of how the steps might look. The steps are automatically generated by a computer based on the songs BPM and overall "feel."
