What’s Happenin’ (October 13, 2015)
Hey everyone, sorry to have missed doing this last week but there’s been so much up on the front page lately I thought it might be good to take a break for a week.
Development
As you’ve probably already noticed lots of things have been going on in development lately. We’ve had a skill rating formula update, a new stat on the global leaderboards, halved noteskin, more tokens added to the recent achievements, R^3 engine updates, updates to the site that have optimized it and most recently, the front page updates that are happening. Please give a huge thanks to all our devs for taking the time and putting in the work to get so much done. I’d also like to give a shoutout to aperson, who isn’t currently on the dev team, but has been lending a helping hand to make some of this possible.
Game Management
The web development team will be going through training and starting on development tasks next week.
Judging for phase 1 of the Hard Songs Batch should be starting this weekend. Submissions are still open for phase 2 if you were still hoping to submit a file for it.
Be sure to check the Weekly Batch Update and the Sprint Overview for the most recent updates with game management.
Wiki Team
noname219 has made the corrections for the song list public and needs additional feedback. Check out this post for the details.
Events
The events team has been working together to put this year’s Halloween event together, so get hype for that.
I’m still working slowly on piecing together the official tournament to get it going for you guys hopefully in December. I just spoke with Dossar and we will be holding a special tournament batch to help us facilitate the files needed to get this done. So be sure to keep an eye out for that in the upcoming days.
Also, don’t forget there’s always the FFR Trading Card Game for your entertainment so be sure to check that out if you haven’t. badman7772 has something up his sleeve for tomorrow and you could win credits on top of cards for completing challenges.
The FFR T-Shirt fundraiser has 8 days remaining, so if you wanted a shirt make sure you get it before time is up. We’ve sold 17 so far which puts us at about $120 raised for prizes.
Social Media
The YouTube channel has been taking a little bit longer to get going than I originally hoped, but there is progress. I do have two videos submitted to me that I need to do some small edits to and then I can upload them to get the channel started. I could always use more helping hands with the channel so if you’re interested head on over to the YouTube Thread
Have you followed us on Twitter and liked us on Facebook yet? I’ve been throwing up little spon cons here and there but participation is low so far. So make sure you like and follow for chances at prizes!
I think that’s all for now but be sure to keep an eye on the front page for all the latest as there’s a lot going on.
See you next week!

Would it be possible to add the FFR Orbular noteskin from the R^2 engine to the R^3 engine? I want to start playing again and that is one noteskin I always loved to use, made playing more fun for some reason heh

@klimtkiller: Most likely a search engine crawler is indexing the leaderboards and unlocking TGWP for people who haven’t updated their levelranks.
