Ace Of Hearts Simfiles

Introduction

Welcome to my website!!

My name's David Bernardini, and I'm a simfile author (or, "stepartist"), which basically means I write arrow charts for songs, for use with StepMania or on an In The Groove 2 machine as custom songs.

I am dedicated to 3 main concepts:

1)Friendliness to players of all levels.  The vast majority of my pack's songs have all 5 difficulty levels (the others are Novelties that don't have an Expert chart).

2)Sensible charts.  There are no crappy charts in my pack; they all make sense.  If in the rare event I determine a rewrite is necessary, I have shown that I will do one.

3) Catering to fun-lovers.  I try to make all my stepcharts - even the difficult ones - fun to play.

You can download my simfile pack either in the "Simfiles" section, or here on the main page.  If you need StepMania first, go get it from the StepMania Stuff section, then read The How-To Guide.

My pack is also playable on the ITG machine at the Family Fun Center in Harrisburg Mall.

News

Website Last Updated: May 10, 2012

May 10
* Kandeko [Single] released.
* Seishun Rocket [Single] released.

April 28
* The official StepMania Online server is dead.  However, there is now a temporary Jousway server!  See the StepMania Stuff section for information how to access the new temp server.  Please note that, in order to save space, the temp server's host has elected not to use SMO's ranking/XP system, which means that your scores will not be saved on that server or count toward anything; it's just a for-fun temporary solution until a more permanent server is established.

April 24
* Added my Facebook and my YouTube channel to the Resources section; see below this News section.

April 19
After all is said and done, what I just got done with was pretty much a complete makeover of the entire website.  Major elements this boils down to include:
* New theme and fonts for the website.
* Everything is now hosted on MediaFire, even where that means files had to be multi-segmented.
-> This means all links have been checked, and all are working.
* The tables of contents on the Simfiles & StepMania Stuff pages have been transformed to also be a link quicklist.
* Clutter information has been removed from most pages.  Things are now much more compact.
* The FAQ has been updated for the first time in ages.

Status

Total Simfiles Available: 204
Main Pack Type: 159  (140 in the pack.)
Singles: 45

Contact & Resources

* My Facebook.  You may add me (as long as I know you from somewhere, like the Shoutbox or something, I won't say no or ignore it).

* My YouTube Channel, where you can see videos of my simfiles.  Make sure you read descriptions, so you know which are in my main pack and which are singles.  (Also keep in mind that, obviously, I also play simfiles I didn't write.)

* My MediaFire Page Contains all my individual simfiles, along with some bonus materials, neatly organized so you know what you're looking at.

Previews

Some songs used in my packs.  These all appear in my "Energy Theory" soundtrack.  Keep in mind that though these are all long versions here for your listening pleasure, many main pack simfiles use the short version rather than the full versions featured here.  (All Single simfiles use the long version of the song.)

Meet Me In Person?

My primary location for playing In The Groove is currently the Family Fun Center arcade in Harrisbug Mall (which is located in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania).

My pack is on the Harrisburg Mall In The Groove machine; it is the current May 2011 release, plus a few extras.

Mission Statement

I am committed to writing quality stepcharts that make sense and follow after the mood of the song.  I strive to be courteous, kind, and accomodating toward my fans and their requests, both online and in person.  I readily accept constructive criticism and listen to suggestions for the sake of improving the quality, playability, and fun factor of my stepcharts.  I will write all five difficulties for songs from a variety of musical genres so players of all skill levels and musical tastes can enjoy my work, and I will not cut corners on any difficulty level - I will release a simfile only when every chart turns out the way it was envisioned.  I personally guarantee that evern simfile I release plays exactly as intended from beginning to end.

Dedication

Let there be no doubt that my work is all for my fans, and that every stepchart is written with the intention of making my fans happy and allowing them to have fun playing.  I am nothing without your support; you're the reason I keep making new arrows to chase around.  I appreciate your support from the bottom of my heart.

This is the bottom of the page. There's nothing below this point. Seriously!
