Version .675 Released.. Single New Feature

Well, after sending out about 7 new songs in the past week, I thought it might be nice to add a small new feature to FFR.

Vivid Arrows .. BUT! only if the level is re-compiled to use them. So that means from now on as levels are added, they will have the correct color instead of all just blue. You may need to clear your cache. If you see Version .675 in the game on the main screen then you are playing the newest version. Currently only Contradistinction, La luna and The Essential have been recompiled to handle vivid.

Tomorrow we will resume with the new songs.

Cheers,

Synthlightand yes.. i will fix the hue/brightness of the colors in the future. It is just important that it works.

FFR League – Last day for week 2!!!

Freak83 and I would like to thank everyone for their participation in the FFR League. We had aprox 150 – 200 people submit scores last week, and that has made this league possible.

But there are still many people out there who signed up, and havnt submitted scores. Please, it’s not to late. Read the matches threads in the FFR League forums, and play your match asap, and submit it before midnight tonight (eastern).

Again, week 3 matches will be posted around midnight, so beat the rush and submit early.

Thanks for your ongoing support, and we look forward to another exciting week!

FFR League – Last day for week one!!!

I just wanted to remind everyone who has not submitted their scores for week one of the FFR League that today is your last day to do so!

Week two begins tonight at midnight (EST) and week one scores will not be accepted by then! If you have not submitted a score by tonight and your opponent has, your opponent will score points for week one and you will not. If neither sides have submitted their scores, neither of you get any points for week one.

Also, a few of you have incorrectly submitted your scores (incorrect links) and I have PM’ed you if you have done so. I advise everyone who has already submitted a score to check their forum inbox just in case.

Welcome a New Talent to FFR

Not often do we find a new artist to showcase on FFR with as much presence and power as AZIM. Before I go any further, I would like to apologize to his manager for taking so long to get the song up on FFR. We had quite a few problems but we were finally able to come through for you guys.
Anyway, I ran across AZIM’s work a few months back and was dropped by the quality of his tracks. I know that we have a crowd here that is 50/50 on hip-hop but you cannot deny that “Freak Out” (in the hip-hop section) is a well produced and catchy track. It is the first song in the hip-hop section and about a level 4 (fairly easy). Please welcome Azim and his work as we hop to attact more hip-artists of his caliber.
Below is a quick bio:

Born Scott Whitfield in Flushing, New York, @zim was the younger of his mother’s two boys. @zim’s brother took on then responsibility of being the male role model in the house. Being 10 years older then @zim he did every thing he could to mold @zim in to a man that would be aware of his environment and the changes that were needed to revitalize it. @zim’s mother worked long days to provide for her family and instilled a work ethic; a motivation in her son’s to survive the quoted ghetto, the struggle! @zim began doing odd jobs around the neighborhood at an early age and completed his first song at age 9. “In the ghetto every one has to grow up fast.” @zim found this out first hand when in 1996 his brother was stolen from his family by a street tragedy. @zim realizing that he had to make things better for his mother became even more determine. He lets his songs speak on his pain, his struggle, his environment. @zim has astonished audiences through out the United States. He has performed at the BET “Free for Life Foundation” and “The Tommy Hilfiger Mix Tape” release party just to name a few. @zim has given electrifying performances with such industry icons as “Black Rob”, “Pharaoh Monch”, “Miri Ben-Ari” and the legendary “Nas”. @zim has appeared on mix tapes around New York City. He has head lined street mix tapes like the Mad Ones ‘Fight Club’ mix tape, where hip hop greats like “Busta Rhymes”, “Missy Elliot”, and “Joe Buddens” and “50 Cent” have been placed after him. Although @zim produces many of his on tracks this multi talented artist has done a lot of work with some of the top producers in the industry. @zim writes all of his lyrics and has done ghost writing for many aspiring artist.

@zim’s current demo contains club hits like “It’s Over” and “Here for a Minute” along with the street anthem “Get your Mo Jo Up”! These are three of the 20 plus tracks on that same demo which is softly titled ‘today the streets, tomorrow the world!’ @zim’s freestyles are already receiving heavy rotation on mix tapes across the city and with labels wanting to know, to understand what an artist is bringing to the table one has no choice but to notice the voice that will change the industry and set the new standard of what an artist must have to appeal to the people across the globe today and for the years to come.

In closing we hope that you enjoy the experience!

Everyone’s a Winner!!! :)

I know I am going to regret this … I have decided that in order to show my dedication to the FFR fans, I am going to release 1 level per day until .68 is finished and live on the site. Starting tonight I will release the first level followed by a new level each day until I either pass out or we get .68 finished.

This could mean just a few new songs or it could mean lots! Time will tell. Either way, everyone’s a winner! Enjoy!

Cheers,

Synthlight

Thank You, May I have Another?

Now that the SGX CD’s are hitting homes across the US and the SexCopter Rul CD’s are in transit, it is time for our next musical treat!

Spook Goblin of “For Great Justice!” has gathered some his best work and smacked it down onto a single CD for all to enjoy. You have most definately seen his work on numerous FFR levels, each of which were created exclusively for FFR. The tracks on this CD will no doubt also keep you mesmerized and bring you inside his twisted mind for over an hour with many previously unreleased tracks (besides la luna and the groove of justice). The CD description says “A mix of Goa, Drum ‘n Bass, Trance and well everything else” and it definately is all of these things, and more. One of the most interesting things about Spook Goblin and his tracks is that he would always tell me the story behind a song before he let me hear it. He would say things like “This is song is about chemical A mixing with Chemical B and their life together”. Always stressing the birth, reason and history behind each of his songs as well as their technical achievements. This was important to him as his music is very private and personal. As he has said, this CD is 5 years in the making. Definately a conversation piece. Definately an FFR artist worth supporting.

One unique feature of this CD is the 2 flavors it comes in.. 2 complete CD Case and CD label designs have been created for this CD and you can order either. I would like to go into some elaborate explanation but ultimately would end up admitting that we simply couldn’t decide which was better.

Again the cd is only $10 and that covers shipping in the US!… CD’s are truesilver and graphics are printed directly to the CD. No stick on labels! profits are sent to the artist with the remainder as a donation to FFR to help with server costs.

FFR League, Back at it Again!

Hey everyone, I know there’s been some confusion with the FFR League, first it’s up, then it’s down, then it’s back up again, and then it’s moved. To make a long story short it’s back, it’s at home on the FFR Forums and it’s here to stay, it’s not going to dissapear this time and it’s going through to the end.

If you signed up anytime before Lightdarkness’ forums you will have to resign up. Just enter the FFR LEAGUE FORUMS. It doesn’t matter whether you just signed up today and have never played FFR or any similar game before, or whether your a veteran – there is a division that should fit your playing style.

Season one will begin a week from today.

Match ups and everything you will need to know will be managed in the league forum sections, so go there to stay updated.

PS. If you signed up as a guest for the leagues, they can’t sign you up for any catagory. So if you did this please resign up under your registered FFR login name.

Have fun!

- Freak83 & LightdarknessFor those already signed up, I remodeled the league to four divisions so if you’re already signed up, you might want to check back and see if you’re still where you want to be.

FFR Siggy Toy

Some of you may have been following the FFR Siggy thread in the forums since last night and already know about the siggy tool for FFR.

And for those of you who don’t know:

FFRSiggy is a signature tool that you can use on other forums or on the FFR forum. It simply displays all your stats. Here is what it looks like if I configure it for my name.

To use the FFRSiggy you need only do 2 things when inserting it as your signature on another forum

1) Use the image tags to wrap the call to ffrsiggy. For example [url=http://www.flashflashrevolution.com][img]http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/ffrsiggy.php?user=Synthlight[/img][/url] would show the stats for Synthlight and link back to FFR if someone clicked on the sig.

2) Make sure you set the user variable to your member name. Improper names will result in an error and the image will not be generated.

I do have to make sure everyone knows that challenge records has only been enabled since about 4 days ago. So those of you running challenges for the past few months won’t see many of your older challenges included.

Cheers,

Synthlight
