What is ArrowVortex

ArrowVortex can be used to create or edit stepfiles for various rhythm games, such as DDR, ITG, PIU, Stepmania, and Osu. It started out as a hobby project for me, aiming to create a modern stepfile editor inspired by the designs of both DDReamStudio and the Stepmania editor. Through my own experiences as a stepfile artist and the feedback of many other players and stepfile artists in the rhythm game community, ArrowVortex has grown into a powerful editor that offers many nifty features to make stepfile editing more convenient, simple, and fun.
