Create Chart is the authoring side of hololive Dreams’ rhythm loop. The Steam store explicitly describes a function for making and sharing original charts, including charts built around favorite talents or extreme challenges. The useful beginner question is not “how do I make the hardest chart?” It is “how do I make a chart that can be tested, understood, and shared without confusing it with an official chart?”
Open the editor with a small goal
Enter Create Chart from the current song or creation menu and read the available source, timing, save, and share controls before placing notes. The exact menu names and editor limits are version-dependent. Start with one short section or a simple pattern. Use the visible beat or timeline grid rather than placing notes by eye, and keep a note of the editor setting you used if the client displays one.
Plan the intended player before writing the pattern. A beginner chart should teach one action at a time. A challenge chart can be dense, but it still needs a readable rhythm and a clear relationship to the music. A chart made only to be difficult is hard to debug because a miss can come from timing, visual overload, or an ambiguous pattern.
Test before sharing
Run your own chart from the player view, not only from the editor. Check that the first note is reachable, holds end cleanly, and any rapid sequence fits the input method you intend to support. Play it with the default visual setup and with a different note-speed setting if the game offers one. If you use a controller, test that device separately from keyboard input.
After the first run, change one section and test again. Record the song, chart name, visible difficulty label, and current date. Do not promise a score window, rating, or reward unless the client exposes it. A useful creator note tells a player what the chart tries to teach and which input or difficulty context was tested.
Keep official and player content separate
The catalog may contain official songs and user-created charts. Use a title or description that makes the distinction clear. Do not copy the official song title in a way that suggests endorsement. Do not upload a chart containing material the current sharing rules prohibit. If the editor presents a visibility, moderation, or report option, read that panel before publishing.
The Steam description confirms sharing as a feature, but it does not establish the current moderation queue, retention period, region availability, or account requirements. If a chart is not visible to a friend, test the visibility setting, network path, and exact chart identifier separately. A missing chart is not automatically a broken upload.
Recover from a failed chart
If the chart cannot be saved, capture the visible error and confirm that the source file or creation slot still exists. If it saves but cannot be played, reopen it from the editor and test the first section. If it plays locally but not online, compare visibility and account status before rewriting the pattern. If a player reports a crash or stutter, send them to Controls rather than changing the chart’s difficulty without evidence.
A compact creator checklist
- Confirm that the editor is the current Steam AppID 4282500 build.
- Choose a small, clear musical section and an intended audience.
- Place notes against the visible timeline or beat grid.
- Test the chart in player view with one known input device.
- Review the first minute for unreachable or ambiguous patterns.
- Save a private or local version before using the share control.
- Read current visibility and moderation rules.
- Share only after the public result matches the local test.
For catalog questions, return to Songs. For party and progression questions, use Holomem or Guides. This page does not claim a complete editor manual because the public Steam description confirms the function but not every current button or limit.
