These improvements include modernizing the original codebase to improve performance and graphical fidelity, refurbishing aspects of the engine that have been neglected, and to improve and expand its support for other game types and styles.
Project OutFox (formerly known as StepMania 5.3, initially labeled as FoxMania) is a currently closed-source fork of the 5.0 and 5.1 codebase originally planned to reintegrate in StepMania, however further in development, it was decided to become an independent project due to its larger scope of goals while still sharing codebase improvements to future versions of StepMania. Development on the upcoming version, 5.1, has gone cold over the past few years after a couple of betas were released over at GitHub. On, sm-ssc gained official status and was renamed StepMania 5.0.
A separate development team called the Spinal Shark Collective forked the bleeding-edge branch and continued work on it, branding it sm-ssc. In 2010, after almost 5 years of work without a stable release, StepMania creator Chris Danford forked a 2006 build of StepMania, paused development on the bleeding edge branch, and labeled the new branch StepMania 4 beta. New versions were released relatively quickly at first, culminating in version 3.9 in 2005. During the first three major versions, the Interface was based heavily on DDR's.
StepMania was originally developed as an open-source clone of Konami's arcade game series Dance Dance Revolution (DDR). StepMania was included in a video game exhibition at New York's Museum of the Moving Image in 2005. This includes In the Groove, Pump It Up Pro, Pump It Up Infinity, and StepManiaX. Several video game series use StepMania as their game engines. Released under the MIT License, StepMania is open-source free software. It was originally developed as a clone of Konami's arcade game series Dance Dance Revolution, and has since evolved into an extensible rhythm game engine capable of supporting a variety of rhythm-based game types. StepMania is a cross-platform rhythm video game and engine. Windows XP or later, Linux, Mac OS X 10.6 or later
