Dancing Tofu Gaming - GIGANAUT Dance Pad Beta (upd. 8/9)

Modded softpads for $15-20? If my Mario Mix pad ever dies (over a year of playing expert on stepmania with it and it's still working just fine

), I'd buy one in a heartbeat. I'm one of the few people who prefer softpads; the rotating/moving (which isn't much when you're only 92lbs) is not as bad IMO as having to deal with the screws of metal pads, plus they're ultra-sensitive.

Cool. =)

btw, we have a little bit of cool, just to show you how cool we are at Dancing Tofu Gaming (I'm the one in the Sunglasses):

OH GOD, why in the world would anyone trust a man like this? Why would you buy a pad from him?!?!? It's insane, would you really trust 150$ to a guy like this????

Because I sure would.

We'll have a much better version of that video streamed to a TechnoMetal song my friends and I did at some point. That one will rock, and we'll have, like, twice as many dancers, and cool effects, and we'll be in the trees. =)

Hey DT, guess what? Your pads will rock even harder if you get a haircut

My hair is the source of my godly strength, which I use to bend tx1000's with my bare hands.

Oh wait, that doesn't make me strong.

Anyway, no haircuts; my hair is one of my elements of my being. BUT I think I'm well enough to finish up construction of the DT600 prototype (granted, a month late) this weekend, assuming that my grandpa gives me the money he's supposed to give me.

You know, you should make an instructional DVD with two parts, one for making your own pad and the other for setting up the DT gaming pad or using the DIY Duct Tape pad.

And if you do, I demand that that video be an extra. That was made of win and awesomeness. (By the way, the hair is awesome - long haired guys who play DDR UNITE!)

Hmm, looks like you know what you're talking about. And for that cheap! You must be crazy (in a good way, of course). If this turns out to be better than the Blueshark I just may pick this one up instead!

Yikes, you guys are right, it's been way too long. It's been over a month after I said it would be done.

I think I might have a pic or two of it early construction, but my camera's dead, it's still not finished, and I'm pretty sure any pics I HAVE taken look like total crap. If I remember, I'll borrow my grandpa's camera tomorrow and take a pic of what I have done. But until then, CRAP-PIC!:

I still need to sand it, glue it, finish cutting 3 of the 4 borders, wire it up, and make the 4 panels.

Dancing Tofu Gaming recently received a very generous donation of $105. We'd like to thank the donor, and ask everyone here to do so as well.

What this means:

1 - the DT600 and DT610 prototypes will be completed within the next week unless I develop a personal priority (schoolwork, family emergency, etc).

2 - A DT200 prototype will be up and running hopefully before the beginning of April.

3 - The expected release date for the DT500 has been bumped back up. Here's a hint:

(not my score)

Good luck with the sheet steel, I'm DYING to see this pad.

And by the way, only reason I haven't donated is because I don't have a job or paypal yet...but once I get those, expect some cash every once in a while to support your cause. And I hope the first prototype is a success, and may you get many donators to your cause.

...department of redundancy department...
