FFR on Kongregate (or Armor Games)?
What are your thoughts on this suggestion. Hate if you want, but give a valid reason please. I've been intermittently going on this site on and off (still playing FFR of course) simply because this site just seems stagnant. Sure there are tourneys, but I think with more newer players this place would be a little bit better, and it would force the (new) event managers to create fun community events more frequently. I'm not sure about the complications of putting the full game on flash game websites, but from what I've seen (and done) it's not that bad. Anyways what would you guys think? Seriously.

Re: FFR on Kongregate (or Armor Games)?
The way that this is being brought about almost makes it seem like people are doing nothing at all, and that's simply not the case.
Putting FFR on Kongregate simply doesn't work because it is a huge entity on its own, and creating a standalone game for Kong isn't going to pay large dividends for FFR because most people will play the game over there rather than coming over to where the real game is. -
Re: FFR on Kongregate (or Armor Games)?
Oh, I wan't trying to say that the community is doing nothing at all, I would have to be blind and ignorant not to see that FFR has made it to it's 10th official, what I'm saying is it's slowly declining, and I'm afraid for it's future..
As for the size of the game, I thought it was roughly a megabyte (at least the legacy engine which I play on), the songs are individually downloaded from the server. Spawning that login screen every time the person plays would eventually give them the impetus to click on the game's description to create an account, instead of clicking "Guest". Listing the incentives of being a member in the description will ensure that they go to the site. FFR is a flash game which needn't be downloaded by anyone, I think we ,as a community, should take advantage of this.Last edited by 21992; 09-27-2014, 11:35 PM.Zakvvv666's Graduation Tournament Division 3 1st place

Re: FFR on Kongregate (or Armor Games)?
saying "full game" is really vague so i'm not surprised by aj's response
simply letting other game sites host the engine with the major data for songs and leaderboards on a dedicated server would be an interesting idea but i'm not sure if any rights issues would spring up as a resultLast edited by lurker; 09-27-2014, 11:41 PM.some feathery f**k

Re: FFR on Kongregate (or Armor Games)?
There was at some point a widget that was uploaded to Kongregate through Tasselfoot's account if I remember right. It even managed to reach the front page. It got removed because obviously widgets don't work anymore.
If we have plans to export FFR somehow, the easiest way is still with social communites. The widgets were really popular on Myspace so I believe it can be redone with Facebook.
Besides, we have limitations when it comes to song permissions so any engine would only serve as a tease. Reviving the widgets seems more reasonable to me.Last edited by noname219; 09-27-2014, 11:43 PM.Comment

Re: FFR on Kongregate (or Armor Games)?
Im not saying this isnt a good idea because i think it would attract a lot more attention to FFR, but, I used to play kongregate quite a lot, so if they decided to put achievements on the game (which they probably would with a game like this) that will prevent a lot of people from moving from kong to ffr.
Just a thought.Comment

Re: FFR on Kongregate (or Armor Games)?
There isn't much of a rhythm gaming community on Kongregate to my knowledge. I think if the powers that be were to move it there, there would have to be some kind of player base already in place who are looking for something similar.Originally posted by hi19hi19Originally posted by choofOriginally posted by Funnygurl555Comment

Re: FFR on Kongregate (or Armor Games)?
How about facebook , guys? Just like when the site went down circa 2008, there was an .swf that started. Players can play as guests and, at their own discretion, head over to their site anytime to create an account. Or even better, have their facebook account auto generate a username for FFR, that is if FFR's servers can handle it (then again we are, "1,895,405 members and growing!"). More new players, starting with low credit amounts would reduce the hyper-inflation the FFR credit is facing (10,000 credits, to some, is practically nothing when in reality that same amount in-game takes quite a while to earn). Just a humble suggestion.Zakvvv666's Graduation Tournament Division 3 1st place

Re: FFR on Kongregate (or Armor Games)?
I think at this point in time, until we get the server issues figured out, expanding to new users is of less importance. Hell..if we got an influx of new users it'd probably crash the site.Originally posted by hi19hi19Originally posted by choofOriginally posted by Funnygurl555Comment

Re: FFR on Kongregate (or Armor Games)?
I feel that a lot more people play online games on Kongregate/AG; placing FFR there would attract some of its users here, if not all. We probably shouldn't be placing all the songs there, or the users would just stay there (as Halogen said).
+1, would help offset declining userbase
EDIT: and yes, server issues are a problem, but that's a different thing.Last edited by ___________; 09-28-2014, 04:29 PM.Comment
