Each normal series is released in a 6-week basis; each special series is released in an 8-week basis. Each series is released on the very first hour of the scheduled Sunday (Pacific Standard Time).

The 6-week basis for normal series and 8-week basis for special series were carefully determined when DWI Extreme Series was first founded. Each normal series, with the exception of few early series, mostly contains 20 simfiles, which means for every six weeks, 20 simfiles are required to be made for a normal series; or in other words, 1 simfile is required to be made in 2.1 days. For special series (such as Glistening To Infinity, for example), because additional stepcharts for the "GTI CHL" difficulty are required to be made, 8-week basis is used.

The genres of DWI Extreme Series are mainly club remixes and soul. Since other simfile designers' genres are mostly trance, techno, and happy hardcore, DWI Extreme would like to approach to some different genres which no one has created them as simfiles before. However, DWI Extreme sometimes would throw some trance, techno, happy hardcore, and other genres of songs to the series.

The title of this series has no relationship with what simulation programs do people in the community prefer to use. All simfiles in DWI Extreme Series are compatable with both Dance With Intensity and StepMania. To find more about the origin of the title of this series, please visit the "History" section of this website.

Since DWI Extreme Series began with the creation of pad steps, we decided to stay in the same category of steps for our simfiles. The simfiles in this series that are closest to keyboard steps are the ones from "Glistening To Infinity" series, which imitate the stepcharts from a video game called In The Groove, and which can be downloaded under the "Series" section of this website.
