Songs of the Week 10/05/2024

Hello and Welcome to da Spooky Month!

We have a lot happening on our plate this week, so let’s jump straight into it.

Firstly, StepCon 2024 is currently ongoing and is in the midst of Community Voting for its Final StepOff (or Round 2 / Finals if you prefer) and needs YOUR help to decide which version of the Finals song is most worthy to be published in-game! The fight between titans of Stepauthors has been fierce, and voting will end on Thursday, October 10th at 11:59PM SERVER TIME. So, while the chance is hot, consider voting for your favorite over at the StepCon 2024 thread!

Secondly, OWL 2 is finally here! After 3 years of waiting and a total multiplayer overhaul we are here to bring you the most FIERCE 1v1 multiplayer tournament you’ve ever seen. Check the thread here.

And finally, we’ll wrap up this week’s Songs of the Week post with of course, Round 1′s winners from StepCon 2024! We will resume the usual batch song releases next week, but until then, enjoy some of these incredible submissions from within their respective competition groups!

Season 12

Hey, folks! We have a quick post for everyone because a new FFR season has started!

We are now on Season 12 in the leaderboards, which means everyone should have their Season 11 badges if they participated. Additionally, the Autumn 2024 Seasonal Batch is now open for submissions. (The OT17 Bounty Batch is still open in case anyone wants to fill any of the last available slots.)

As with every new season, you can expect some pending difficulty changes to take effect. You can find info on that here.

Till next time!

Songs of the Week 6/22/2024

Hello again, this will be the last Songs of the Week Release before the Official Tournament! Thinking about past days, we can think of the favorite files of the previous official tournament which will also be the unlock requirement for the special token alongside today’s release.

End of Season Reminders
With the 17th Official Tournament now less than a week away, that means the OT17 Derustathon will be concluding on June 28th. There’s also roughly a week left before Season 11 ends on July 1st, so all around this is a good time to go for some top scores!

Enjoy the new musician for this week!
