    Tutorial Level

    I've had this idea for a long time now.

    Basically, omeone speaks, introduces you to the game, and explains the concept of the game and how to play it. Introduces the basics; to start, single notes, then doubles. Then perhaps a string of 5 fast notes, that the player will most likely miss. Then explains the concept of missing notes, and failing. It's in the game window, without music, just someone talking and introducing the player to the basics. Kind of like the Guitar Hero tutorial.

    Can possibly introduce some terminology with examples, too, such as jacks, trills, etc. Nothing too complicated.

    Then perhaps at the end, the person reads off a few good starter songs and where to find them.

    Good idea, bad idea, old idea, impossible idea?

    Mhmm... good idea. So, you're thinking something along the lines of the DDR tutorial?

      Sounds a lot like the SM tutorial to me. If this were easy to implement, I'd think it would be good, but I'm assuming it wouldn't be, and most people can understand the game without a tutorial, anyway.

        Re: Tutorial Level

        I actually got the idea after seeing my mom try to play the game for the first time.

        Not to say that there's such a large number of 47 year old Polish women that don't know anything about computers that we need to make a tutorial for them, but I thought it'd be a decent addition.

        And I had a feeling that somehow it would be hard to impliment. Why would it be? The only thing I can think of is a section in the game to actually put it in.

          Actually there WAS a turorial level on FFR, simple but I thought it was pretty nice.

          Removed on FFR R1 2nd style.

            I wasn't around back then, but I'm guessing this was FFR Special Mix?

                No wonder Chardish used that as an example of a song that might have been 1 foot, when there were no songs that were only 1 foot.

                  It's actually 0 footer, because you won't fail unless you boo-out.

                    What was its difficulty called then? If 1 foot is easiest, then I don't know what would be below that.

                      this is possible..... but not sure it is needed. we can discuss it.

                      i'm sure i could whip up an audio in about 10 minutes, so that isn't an issue. and it would be easy to add it as a level. and easy to throw in steps.

                      we'll discuss it.

                        I think it would be a good idea. I've gotten 4 or 5 people started and they don't fully understand everything.

                          It's kind of funny when you try to explain how to change the
                          setting of the quality to new people and they don't understand. But after a while, it kind of gets annoying. ~(*_*)~

                            The old tutorial level I believe was a song by DJ Antinomie. I can't remember what the exact title was. The stage displayed text that show players how the game worked and there were three arrows that players could hit to try it out.

                              Easiest as well, or unfailable.

                              It's right, song name wasn't shown in the game.
