A new genre?

Re: A new genre?

But he's asking about those specific songs. They're all in the same style of music but put into 2 different genres. Also, when the new genres were added, they got put out of order and have never been fixed...

Re: A new genre?

the genre system is completely flawed in terms of organizing song placement... but when the game first came out (1st style), there were only 4 initial dance songs. then a few hip-hip, funk, and rock songs were added. then a few arcade songs. then a few classical songs. and then a few more dance songs. and that was 1st style... about 25 songs total, with dance, hip-hop, funk, rock, arcade, classic, and dance2.

then 2nd style came around and we expanded initially to about 60 songs, and added misc, secret, and purchased. that was 2004. over the next 2 years, the song list expanded to about 110 songs. everything was contained fine, nothing was over 3 pages, etc etc. Then I took over adding songs... and now there are over 600 levels in the FFR, things are over crowded, we have way way way more genres of songs... it becomes a nightmare to perfectly place every song... and we do the best we can until we can release 3rd style, which will address the song placement and sorting issues, to make sure we can reasonably hold thousands of songs in the game.

Re: A new genre?

Doesn't matter much to me... I know where all the songs are by heart. I was just curious.

Haha, I learned something about early FFR. XD Looks like ap19 wasn't here for 1st style, but he was here for the VERY beginning of 2nd.

You are disturbed. @_@ Haha, I still got what you meant.

I don't mind if there are 100 pages in Dance2... I'll still remember where the songs are. The ones I play anyway.

Re: A new genre?

So yeah...I think we're about done with this. Too bad nobody ever actually got an explanation for what "play songs" were as a genre.

Re: A new genre?

the OP mentioned what he meant... by play songs, he meant songs from musicals. show tunes. which would be fine with me... i greatly enjoy show tunes. but it doesn't really fit our demographic. nor would we have an easy time getting permission (except for Damn Yankees and Pajama Game... my cousin wrote the music to them).

besides, other larger, more popular "Genres" didn't get their own genre, something like this wouldn't either.

Re: A new genre?

There's nothing necessairly wrong with them, but we'd need to fill up a good page and a half of misc before we could justify splitting it off, and as someone who has done musicals in the past, the rights to use music from actually popular musicals are ridiculously expensive, even when you're like, a school looking to just break even on it.
