I’ll Skin You Alive!
Zag Edit: Just a quick reminder. The skins, themes, buttons, interface you design is entirely your decision. The original template, seen below, is not how we demand the game looks. You can be as creative as your mind is limited to. Love the wheel system in FFR? Then make a wheel system. It’s up to you. Remember that your skin can simply consist of objects, buttons, artwork, and a detailed explanation of how the objects would be animated and placed together. It’s all up to you. The engine that I am designing is entirely object oriented. Anything can be placed anywhere, let your imagination run wild! (No 3D or excessive zooming please!)
Note: Talk to justin_ator & yo man im awesome for details on due dates. The final submission deadline will be in late august so you have plenty of time.
Haha okay, not really.
Welcome everyone! We have a new contest for you!
For those of you who do not know, there is a new new engine in the making at this time. It’s known as BlackWebb. BlackWebb is basically going to be FFR, completely redesigned and upgraded. This is where our contest comes into play:
Our contest is to see who is the very best at designing.
Your goal, in short, is to design a new layout skin for BlackWebb! The original template for BlackWebb can be found here.
The winners in this contest will receive the prize of the title of “BlackWebb Skin Designer“, X amount of credits (based on placement [1st, 2nd, etc.] and how many skins we accept), and having their own skin available in-game.
These skins will be judged similarly to the simfiles that are submitted for the game (details in the thread). After the judges have accepted a specific number of skins to be voted on, you guys (the public) will cast your votes to rank the best.
Use any sort of theme or color schemes you like, make sure it is your own work, and remember to keep it unique and have fun!
Please go to the thread, located here, for the remaining small details and to discuss this contest.
Good luck and have fun!
justin_ator, yo man im awesome, & the FFR Staff

I prefer the circle buttons for genre selection or something of the sort; but again it is up to the designers.
Posted at 8:37pm on July 17th, 2011
Crashfan, I remember that thread. Only problem is we’re redesigning the engine, so skins of the old engine won’t really be the best options. But we’ll go through them haha.
Posted at 8:38pm on July 17th, 2011
After looking through it, if any of you have any interest of continuing the skin design you came up with, feel free to give it a go.

I am loving the arrows in BlackWebb. Are you going to be keeping that arrow skin for the new engine?
Posted at 9:27pm on July 17th, 2011
We have a few arrow skins.
Posted at 9:28pm on July 17th, 2011
Glad I am skinning for arrow skin selection. Haha… Any chance we’ll be doing new characters soon too?
Posted at 11:01pm on July 17th, 2011
In all seriousness, do whatever you want. I have a suggestions thing coming out soon, at which point anyone can suggest anything.
Posted at 11:23pm on July 17th, 2011
wtf. That looks nice already. Why would you change it?
Still interested to see what people can come up with..
Posted at 12:40am on July 18th, 2011
I am not really digging this Blackwebb thing. But whatever, let’s see how this contest goes. Gonna need a hell of a new design before I get into it seriously.
Posted at 1:09am on July 18th, 2011
I am loving the extended arrow display time. Means I’ll finally be able to play on higher speed mods. Playing C900 on SM, and then having to adjust to C620 (2.0x) on FFR kinda really sucks.
Posted at 4:59pm on July 18th, 2011
The menus look alright I guess. But the gameplay looks horrid. >.< Just my opinion. I wouldn't play it.
Posted at 5:11pm on July 18th, 2011
Hence why we are doing the skin contest. If you guys haven’t noticed, the other categories (with the exception of the friends list) aren’t finished on that either. That’s just the general idea.
Posted at 6:15pm on July 18th, 2011
The gameplay was something me and Zaggy threw together in like a day. So many things in it is wrong or broken since is was added right before we decided to redo everything.

not sure if like that equalizer-thingy-ma-boob behind the notes. I’unno, it seems like it might become distracting…
Posted at 8:31am on July 19th, 2011
@Emithith take into consideration this is only a template the equalizer might not stay or if it does there probably at some point will be an option to turn it on or off
Posted at 2:43pm on July 19th, 2011
Or it will operate in the background behind the gameplay which could be a solid bg for the arrow section at least.
Posted at 7:49pm on July 19th, 2011
I am very much in favor of the equalizer. Looks cool 8]
Posted at 8:59pm on July 19th, 2011
What is BlackWebb? Looks like a completely updated and upgraded format for FFR the Game!!??
Posted at 9:03pm on July 19th, 2011
Just learned how to read; this is effing fantastic!!
Posted at 2:44am on July 20th, 2011

What’s up with all the downvotes?
Posted at 2:30pm on July 22nd, 2011

Those downvotes are in your favour.
Posted at 11:21am on July 23rd, 2011

Posted at 1:13pm on July 23rd, 2011
yo justin_ator for submissions u can just put some stuff together on paint right?
Posted at 1:51pm on July 23rd, 2011
oh unrelated post whoever is downvoting everyone’s posts get a life
Posted at 6:57pm on July 23rd, 2011
Well due to the amount of downvotes it most likely isn’t one person alone… And yes, you can do that. I would like to remind you all though, the more categories of the game that you create a skin for, the more points you can get. Be creative and in-depth!
Posted at 11:07pm on July 24th, 2011
It’s Attractive/Unattractive/Any more of their alts. As you can see, they have a lot of alts.
Posted at 8:06pm on July 26th, 2011
Why do you want to change an already good thing? Don’t become like facebook.
Posted at 2:15pm on July 27th, 2011
^they wanted to see where people could go as far as artistic ability (maybe)
side note= i think i submitted my skin to the wrong person
Posted at 4:49pm on July 27th, 2011
w8
You can design it for a specific category? Damn! I want to try, I thought it was just a total skin upgrade.
Sounds fun.
Posted at 4:20am on July 29th, 2011
as long as we also keep the original note skins and the strictly blue from ancient ffr ill be happyfaced
see–>:)
Posted at 1:48pm on July 29th, 2011
^u could ask justin_ator about that
Posted at 9:11pm on July 31st, 2011
Original Noteskins will still be an option, I would think. As far as the whole blue note thing goes, it doesn’t even sound like old files will be in this new engine. Either way, I’ll leave the final say so up to the admins that are creating it.
Posted at 11:50pm on August 6th, 2011
Hey I am not the bad person here.
Posted at 3:35pm on August 8th, 2011
How do I become a stepfile artist for FFR, or at least make a file for FFR.
Posted at 9:37am on September 9th, 2011
it may be official the majority of ppl in this contest have either given up, forgotten about it or just dont care about it anymore
