How long do you all think it will be until we hit 2,000,000 members?

obviously an autistic youtuber because they tend to have the largest amount of viewers

See I wish there was someone who wasn't autistic *cough* PewDiePie *cough* that had a lot of subscribers. Even someone with only 80k or so would help FFR so much.

the major difference would lie in content
...and that's pretty much it

major difference would lie in UI design and packaging

which is an enormous difference, since minor differences in those two things can completely determine whether a game succeeds or fails

the mere act of not having to add your own songs for example is a factor that brings tremendously more people to the game, because most people simply do not want to learn how to add their own songs

*I* love being able to add my own songs, obviously, and so do you, but you and I like operating systems like linux as well, which is extremely inaccessible to the average computer user. we're an extremely bad demographic to base this off of

I think you're thinking about this from the PoV of how the gameplay would fundamentally change -- i.e. ITG is basically the same thing as DDR. if that's where you're coming from, then you're absolutely right, there is not that much difference at all.

but for music games, packaging (how you bundle songs, what screens the user has to go through to play, how they actually GET the game, what keys they use, how these key setups are explained to the user) matters a lot more.

I wonder how hard it would be to make a music game on steam. Like for us in the community.

I mean, enough people on here produce music that most people would find passable, and I know some of us took programming. Everyone and their cousin can design charts/think of decent features and we have a boatload of talented artist who can make it all shiny and shit.

It's a nice thought anyway.

Bumping because I think it's safe to say that everyone's initial guess has now expired from 4 years ago (MarioNintendo's guess was 3.5 years after December 20th of 2014 which pits it in June/July of this year), and now the only guesses that are still relevant is my guess of May 2019 and DanO's guess of somewhere in 2024.

So what do you guys think now? 3 and a half years later, the numbers have changed quite a bit. How long until we see the FFR solar eclipse?

over 2k? wow
far cry 5 numbers


call of doody: WW2 numbers


even with these games being released only ~1 year ago their numbers really aren't that crazy. these are "popular" games.
this place has decent numbers it's just a small cluster of like minded people, same as any place.

though FPS players are more spread out over many different games as opposed to our one
there are also other rhythm gaming communities with probably thousands on thousands of people all over the internet.




this is the past year for Call of Duty: World at War.

don't ask me why i'm comparing First Person Shooters to rhythm games.
it's all about numbers anyway

tl;dr i guess my point is that really popular games that get tons of advertisement can die out faster than other more obscure games.
this place is still kickin so i wouldn't give up on it.

we hit 2mil next month

we hit 2mil next month

I say we won't even hit 1,995,000 by the end of next month

Re: How long do you all think it will be until we hit 2,000,000 members?

i will go to door to door and advertise FFR to ensure the numbers hit next month

Also average users presumably means "At a time"

800 players at a time on average is WAAAY more than our 2200 at least once this month.

Even if 50% of those logins were regulars who come often, and even if 50% of the total people in a day are all on at a certain peak hour, that's only 550 players at "peak" and most of them are far less active than that.

We have "453" players right now according to the site. Of them only 14 actually have accounts.

Things look grim for our future, I see

You'd have to think as a possibility that after the massive website crash some years ago, registrations slowed down and OGs stopped coming here regularly or stopped coming here altogether. IMO, had the crash not happened, we'd be passed 2mil.

edit: And I stopped making alts after I was given a pardon.
