Project OutFox is a fork of StepMania 5.1. The project began to improve the main repo and it's codebase, however due to community feedback and response the project changed direction into what it is today; A working museum of scrolling rhythm games playable within a single client.
The team provides a free-to-play cross-platform engine supporting and supported by the many new communities and areas that OutFox now supports. It continues the legacy of the early pre 3.0 StepMania developers: to enable everyone to enjoy the rhythm no matter what game they play, or what they play it on.
The original aims (kept here for history) were as follows, most of these have now been met:
As Project OutFox is a continuation of the 5.0.12 and 5.1 codebase (not “5.2”), it remains compatible with almost all existing songs, themes, and noteskins that are supported on these versions (if you do encounter odd behaviour or other issues with older content, please report it to us as a bug). Project OutFox is unrelated to 5.1 -3 (sometimes written as 5.1-3), which was a prior build of 5.2 before it was renamed.
