___STAFF COMMENTS___
♥ hello, this is dandeless. I am the composer of this work. ♥

I found out about Romantic BMS through the BMS Event LITE website. it was a really interesting concept to me so I decided to contribute my music to it!
I tried to make a spiritual successor to "happy.mp3" from BOFXVI. "happy.mp3" is one of my girlfriends favorite songs of mine and I thought it was fitting to make her a new favorite song for this event.
the story featured in the BGA is based off of me and my partner's real life, we met in school and we connected through me commissioning her for art for "micro.wav" (featured in mobile rhythm game Phigros).
by the way, my girlfriend is actually fellow staff member Snake.Ribs! and no I will not stop mentioning it, I love her very much.
it's been a while since I last released BMS, I hope that you enjoy my music and that our work makes you feel lovely!

♥ Hello! I am Snake.Ribs or SNIBS! I did the art for the BGA. ♥

For the BGA me and dandeless wanted to kind of represent our relationship. I think that something foundational to us finding each other was working on BMS together. I designed the characters to be adjacent to what we look like (sort of) and the story of the BGA to represent our workflow. We started this project while I was just finishing up with school and adjusting to working more, as well as getting  ready to move out of my current home. dandeless was very supportive throughout the process and I am quite thankful. This is the first time I am drawing so much art for a BGA! It was a challenge but I am happy with it, especially since its a first for me. I had a lot of fun with this project and I will hopefully participate again in the future!

♥ hello, this is desertsonq. ♥

was asked to edit this bga by dandeless a couple weeks before it was fully completed. this was my first time doing actual animation for a project :0 super fun to work w such close friends/actual irl roommates on this and im very honored to be involved!

___INCLUDED WORKS___

♥ MUSIC ♥
☆ be-music "<3" - dandeless
  made with lots of care.

♥ CHARTS ♥
☆ 7K INSANE [incel cope] charted by AYhaz
  named it incel cope because whoever can play this chart well can not relate to the theme of the song, and due to their skill level, they may not interact with people of their sexual preference, so I am hyperbolically reffering to them as incels. since they are incels, and they cannot relate to the theme, they are therefore "coping" by playing the song.
☆ 7K HYPER [lovely] charted by AYless (AYhaz and dandeless)
  chart was started by AYhaz but they gave up because their skill level is too high and they forgot how to chart easier stuff. named it because it's a very comfortable chart (this is a lie)
☆ 7K BEGINNER [first date]
  named it first date because it's easy enough that someone who's inexperienced will still have a fun time.
☆ 24K [real] charted by dandeless
  named it real in reference to the highest difficulty tier in NOSTALGIA, a game I've been enjoying recently.

♥ VISUAL WORK ♥
☆ (not implemented) BGA (Background Animation) - made in collaboration between dandeless, Snake.Ribs, and desertsonq
  a cute story about highschoolers who fall in love through BMS.
☆ (not implemented) "poor" image - illustrated by Snake.Ribs
  doobus is heartbroken about your performance! do better.
