FFR on Kongregate (or Armor Games)?

[klimtkiller]

yeah i think ffr being on kongregate would be great. if it can get an impossible badge, lots more people will play, and there should be a link to flashflashrevolution.com

nice bump 8/8

edit: even in concept this idea wouldn't work

[choof]

let's break up the already small-as-fuck community into segments ya gr2008 idea

[gold stinger]

terrible idea

edit: use widgets.

[Rapta]

I don't like this idea.

[Deadlyx39]

To be honest, instead of having the game on Kongregate, couldn't we just find a way to promote it over there instead? I'm not 100% sure how this would work, but it is an idea.

The fact that computers now can't handle FFR well is highly indicative of the fact that Flash is simply a poor medium for it to be running on. Notwithstanding the fact that ThirdStyle works well on Flash, it doesn't work well for users who play FFR and it's inevitably drawing people away because they can't play to their optimal ability. Yes, casuals aren't going to care too much because they get to listen to music, but eventually they will get to the point where they actually want to play he game as a "player" and not as a "listener" (to the music).

I hate to bring another game into the mix, but osu!'s process of integrating multiple game modes and the multiplayer game in an installed .exe file just really makes a lot more sense. In fact, one of the flaws in osu!'s system (having to download from the site to play content) is something that would be completely avoidable here on a standalone application, because you could load the game content on a server, and there's a fixed song list for ranking and what have you.

idk, just some thoughts.

i think it would work out really well if FFR was an installed game. i concur that the flash player lags a bit, even though i fit under the "casual" area as a low-div player. if it were a standalone, it would definitely be much more enjoyable of a game without having to play using the flash player and lagging in the process.

edit: as far as putting the game on another site, it would lead to a lot of different issues that many people already touched on, so i wont repeat.

it wont break up the community if it's just the game. anyway, it's not like people who already play on flashflashrevolution.com will move to kongregate. If there's another community on kongregate, then it will be of new people who wouldn't have played ffr anyway if it weren't for kongregate. plus, if there is a link to flashflashrevolution.com in the game, then more people will come.

so would the kongregate and ffr communities be separate, but both still playing ffr? or would the communities combine if the game were to go onto kongregate?

I could see the Kong version essentially letting you play as a guest, with a little notice telling you to come to the official website to create an account and track your level ranks/progress, earn tokens, compete in tournaments etc... But I'm not really on board with this idea.

Naw lets not ruin kongregate jk

But seriously, being blunt FFR is a piece of shit compared to it's competitors. It lags like fucking crazy, the website looks 10 years out of date, the features are pretty crap for the most part, the majority of the music is too but hey that's due to legal stuffs. It really just need some money spent on it to bring it at least into this decade... I know what i'm saying seems douchy but it's true, i like this website and the game just wish it wasn't so bad, only thing keeping me from osu!mania is Japanese people..

Let us donate, hire a developer/team get shit done without the stupid circle jerk bureaucracy that keeps happening here.

My opinion...

tl;dr you're a racist

racism = not cool = 2 week ban

[s1rnight]

i'm not sure why the site doesn't accept donations :x i feel like a lot of people would give to promote dev-stuff here

wouldnt be able to donate since i have no money or job (still in highschool, focusing on that... please dont judge), but i feel that's a great idea maybe, just maybe, i'd be able to find like $10 somewhere to give to ffr.

[M0nkeyz]

lol, more users would be great. This site is really hard to find if you don't know what you're looking for. I've played o2jam for years and DDR and SM, but I've never heard of FFR until a watched a random video by stepmaniafreak, then later I saw some league of legends streamer play FFR and I made an account. This site and game could really use some better advertisement so I don't think expanding the community would be a bad idea.

[Charu]

Honestly, the harsh reality in terms of having FFR relevant is that people would need to move over to SM since that's the more up to date version of 4 key goodness.

Never going to happen, I feel like majority of FFR peeps, myself included, enjoy the limited gameplay mechanics FFR offers. Not because we've been here for a long time... okay maybe it's some of that, but it's because FFR doesn't have any extra features that SM offers.

It's pretty much bare-bone. No holds, no BPM changes, no freezes, no mines.

But it's because of it being bare-bones is where FFR is fun. At least I think so anyways.

[Charu]

Other than that though, totally agree that the website should have a face-lift, which is what I think Velocity was doing and some other peeps? Hopefully that's still a thing.
