Buying a GX machine SPECIFICALLY for the development of our new dance games. The whole team is going to benefit from the purchase of this machine, and I can't do this alone. If you donate to me via PayPal, I'll ship you something random for free. You may get something really cool depending on how much you donate. Trust me!

01/09: We're alive!

The goal of Chaowerk is to give users the edge with their machine dance games. To enhance gameplay by creating the finest combination of music and images, with steps that top off the experience. Years of my work have gone into what you see below, so I'd ask that you please simply drop me a line and tell me what you think of everything, or if you're feeling generous, donate!

▄▀█▓▒░STEPFILE OVERVIEW░▒▓█▀▄

Below are chaowerk files up for distribution. More to come, so bookmark and check back often!

Each file is formated as a winRAR archive.

For any questions on how to run the stepfiles, drop me a line.

Playable charts in the game are BOLD and COLORED. Any difficulty that is black does not yet contain a complete chart. To download a stepfile, please click the mini-banner on the left hand side.

Protocol is the continuation and expansion of my first Stepmania project, titled Chaomix. You'll find some songs below that have been re-mastered for this new mix, and are well worth the download! Some songs that are/were featured in Protocol have found their way into other projects that I've been involved with, such as In The Groove 3 or DanceTrax. It's going to rock 2009.

Pump It Up: Protocol (or PumPROtocol) is the 5-panel rendition of Protocol (above). Everything is in early beta testing, and aside from a few videos scattered around YouTube or FaceBook, I don't have much that's ready to be released. Keep posted, more news to come shortly!

Currently working on Steps and Courses for In The Groove 3. Also working on Hardware Support. More info to come later.

As a side project, I've been taking Nine Inch Nails' masterpiece "Ghosts I-IV" and implementing tracks into Stepmania. This includes new audio cuts, custom background/banners, along with some very unique stepcharts! Lately I've had to push this project aside. If anybody is interested in helping me complete this, don't hesitate to let me know!

If you want a jump back to the past, Naota3k has been hosting the original Chaomix releases for over three years now! Keep in mind that I plan on visiting the original mix once more and adding all existing stepfiles into Protocol at some point. (click below)

For any questions or comments, please drop me an e-mail. I'm always looking for new things to work on, and new people to work with!
