Methods of spreading FFR popularity

Re: Methods of spreading FFR popularity

I personally think it needs better music to get more people. I understand alot of songs are hard to get permission for but all my friends who have seen me play usually make fun of the asian sounds here and there or the weird beeping. Most people don't like rap but if we got more rap that would be good, especially rap songs beginners can play. More rock songs with more mainstream bands like avenged sevenfold, system of a down, slipknot, three days grace and anything in between would help too. Even if you don't agree with my taste I know a tremendous amount of people who like that kind of music it's the same everywhere.

BWAHAHA That's just asking for the SAME exact shit that got us shut down (partially why we got shut down) in the first place.

Brb, getting Ke$ha permission. -__-

We need a wider range of songs for sure instead of Chiptune-JCore. That's all good for people who actually like it, like me, but I know so many people who can't even listen to it because they hate the pitch or even the sound of it.

We need some Pop/Rap/anythingthat'spopular songs on FFR for sure, I'mma kill myself for saying it, but it's true.

edit: I'm so full of ideas/input that I can't stop posting lately. I really should tone these post whoring sessions down, x~x;

Re: Methods of spreading FFR popularity

I'm forever taking videos from youtube and even my own replays and posting them on facebook...whether my friends start playing or not is up to them I guess I'm not sure how many even actually take the time to watch what I post but at least I'm doing something =P I also agree though that permissions for more mainstream artists would bring a great deal of people in if not just to hear their favorite songs.

Re: Methods of spreading FFR popularity

Not doubting those who have tried, but is it difficult to attain permission from a well-known band? I know some give the silent treatment, but srsly.

If we get a Kongregate app up and running, we probably should PM Greg about placing it on front page. Moar exposure=moar people.

Re: Methods of spreading FFR popularity

I'll look into getting some permissions for more mainstream artists. Did we ever have a "so-and-so rejected our permissions" thread? So we didn't ask artists 50+ times?

If not, I suggest one be made (by someone willing to keep up with it. If nobody is willing, I will do it).

Re: Methods of spreading FFR popularity

To convince most people to play on an individual person by person basis you don't want to overwhelm them with your skill. That demoralizes them right off the bat. It's actually best not to even show how good you are and just have them sit down and play the game and explore for themselves, answer any questions they may have.

Re: Methods of spreading FFR popularity

Most people who watch me play FFR back in high school would associate it with a rhythm game they are familiar with like Rock Band, Guitar Hero or DDR. Some called me a nerd, haha...

But anyway, the only way FFR will ever get plenty of attention is when it goes viral, introduced in or associated with something mainstream. Make it happen and people you'll get.

Re: Methods of spreading FFR popularity

I did that a few times Emithith, it works for a little bit. But no one (at least not my friends) got SUPER involved.

I'm actually hoping to draw in two people who haven't played the game in like 4 years or more, that might work, but I have no clue.

I've never heard of the No-go Permission thread, so maybe it hasn't been made, justin. I guess you're gonna have to do it yourself. :S

editting my post so I don't see my face so much in this thread. lol

Re: Methods of spreading FFR popularity

Part of the reason FFR doesn't seem so inviting is the look of the site in my opinion. It doesn't look like a game from 2011, it really looks like something from 2003. I really feel like the site could use a makeover.

I don't believe there is a thread for permission non-gets, Justin. xP

Now we're talking about MASSIVE changes to the site altogether now. But I guess it's fitting, I mean, as soon as BW is released it would probably be a good idea to go for a new look.
Never mind that though, where the hell have you been Max? I haven't seen you around in forever. xD

Blackwebb = not happening guys, why does nobody seem to know about this? It's been mentioned multiple times..

Velocity is working on recoding his own new engine, which will be better than the current one. Zag is busy with other things.
