The official 3rd Style thread

[Tps222]

Rome wasn't built in a day.

Who cares if is going to take a bit longer, you guys are all complaining about the current bugs in the game. I'd rather have them take there time and make sure the release is of quality and addresses what is needed. This way, we won't need more edits.

3rd Style development started back in the summer / early fall and has continued to move forward but unfortunately slowed to a crawl for the last 2 months. As I have started to work more normal hours this week, this pace has picked up. 3rd style is at the top of my priority list. Besides having a completely new interface, 3rd style will boast MANY new songs upon release and include many features that have been requested for a long LONG time like speed mods, skin changes and BPM change support. I will personally be working on my DWI converter so that it can handle BPM changes. I expect 3rd Style to be released sometime within the month of April. I will say April 31st but it may be sooner depending on my schedule.
This release will be the most radical change for FFR within the last 2 years. Chardish, LD and I (with the input of others) have worked to lay the foundation of the new interface. I admire Chardish for not getting fed up with me everytime I requested visual changes or sent him back to the drawing board. I think in the end we came out with a superb design that will ultimately be easier to navigate and read for both noobs and veterans alike.

Probably needs to be posted in here...

Good to see confirmation on speed mods and bpm changes, as well as a release date (!).

Re: The official 3rd Style thread

As long as the speed mods are nothing like the ones in R2. I don't know if it is just my eyes, but they seem to start off slow and then accelerate at 60% of the vertical screen.

Re: The official 3rd Style thread

The one thing I care about most for third style is that it better have reverse. As far as I'm concerned, I still can't even play R2, because it doesn't have reverse, which, without it, makes me play worse than on C125.

Re: The official 3rd Style thread

How about there is still no speed mods but you make the constant at least C450 or something.

Re: The official 3rd Style thread

How about C600?
Then only the super speed players can play
Good idea izzy.

Re: The official 3rd Style thread

Pshh Not C600. Maybe C500 or C525.

Re: The official 3rd Style thread

I don't think I can even play anything lower than C700.

About a month to release XD

Really? My range is right around 600.

And since I'm on this train of thought, I have a question. Is 3rd Style going to use constant rates with multipliers on top, or is it going to scroll according to the song. For example, is 2x mod going to be the same as C600 in SM or not?

About a month to planned release XD

Yeah... hopefully you're right though.
