Remix #2 in the Works

Posted in Uncategorized on December 8th, 20021 Comment »

For those of you who have not been following in the forums, we have an FFR Remix #2 (version 2) in the works here. Remix #2 will be a completely rewritten engine with all new songs. The first version will always be available and may still go through some updates. We will still release the first FFR for download as an .exe when the time comes.

Before we move on, we may add a Dance #2 and Rock Genre to the original remix. It all depends on when we get the tunes/steps in from people.
We have been busy trying to add a few features and patch the old version up while rewriting a massive portion of the core engine for Remix #2. BPRC has been very busy working on the new engine and I think everyone will be pleased when it is finished.
There is a feature list a mile long but this may take awhile to implement. As time goes on I will give updates and possibly post features that have been included.
When this version is ready for testing/release we will have a link available to play Remix #2 but will always keep the original remix available to play also.

If you have any feature requests besides “make it more like DDR”, please post a comment here or in the discussion forum and we will consider including in Remix #2

WHOOPS!

Seems that I made a little error in FFR tonight.. When I fixed the Arcade Song #5 I accidentally put all the other songs off by about a single beat. This has been fixed.

Ok, time to clear those caches and reload again. Arcade Song #5 has been fixed. Sorry that it took me an extra night to get around to it. The changes make the song so much better.

Btw.. That secret level.. it’s back.. but where?

Hmmmmmmm…

Well, we seem to be spouting a new song everyday here at FFR. Our latest piece is a #5 song inside the arcade section that was submitted by EnderTheXenocide. It is a Final Fantasy Battle theme and well, again…. well beyond me personally. Thanks a bunch for submitting the song and we look forward to putting up the other submissions as soon as possible.

Now go play so you can lose! ;) (ok, its not THAT bad.. Nothing like the Chrono Trigger song)

The song is on beat but I may need to slide the timing forward or backward to make it match perfectly, leave your comments about which way you think the timing should slide.

I know that most of you move in, play the game and then move on. That is cool if that is your thing but if you have any suggestions or questions or just general feedback about FFR, be sure to stop in at the “FFR Discussion Forum” via the link on the left nav bar.

The discussion forum is growing daily and I try to answer as many questions as possible while implementing suggestions as often as time allows.

Think of this as a chance to help guide FFR.

The Many Faces of FFR

Well.. Tonight marks 100,000 Plays of FFR and within 2 days will cross the 1,000,000 hit threshold. I know I have said it before but I really cannot believe the turnout that this site has had. Nothing makes me more happy than to know that people enjoy the game and come back to play it.

We will continue to develop our baby of an engine and move in some wild directions with it. I have a little feature list that I would like to implement into the next major version of the game. I don’t know if we can accomplish half of what is on the list but we will try.

Again, thanks for all the support and stopping by to visit. Thanks also for the songs/steps that everyone has been creating lately, I will work to incorporate them into FFR as soon as time allows.

See you tomorrow,
