FFR Community Pack 2025 [Submissions Closed]

[Lights]

Spooky Password: Bat7

woah. hello! I'm here to announce a pack! But not just any pack, because this is going to be the most fiffertastic pack to be released in many years. We're calling on Stepartists both new and old to show off what makes FFR so special!

FFR Community Pack 2025 will be a variety pack aimed at any skill level with any style of song and for once, you don't have to worry about permissions.

Submissions will be open from the time this thread is posted until 11:59:59pm November 30th, 2024. Pack is planned to release January 1st, 2025.

How Do I Participate?

Simply submit a file to the batch named FFR Community Pack 2025 and wait for feedback on your file. Files submitted to this batch will not be undergoing the normal judging process and will not be judged for inclusion in FFR.

New Stepartists may submit 3 files and those with files in FFR will be able to submit up to 5 files to the pack. Files that have already been accepted in a normal batch can be submitted here and will receive an automatic accept.

Submission Requirements

• Your file must be in .sm format.
• Audio must be in .mp3 format.
• Your submission must include a cdtitle image (.png or .jpg) (64x64 or 128x128 preferred)
• Your file must be an actual song and cannot be directly abrasive to listen to (this is at our discretion, but if you use common sense, you'll be fine).
• Lua files are not allowed.
• Holds, Mines, etc. are allowed, however this pack is meant to be playable in its entirety through the FFR file loader. Files which rely too heavily on these elements and provide a noticeably incomplete experience without them may be rejected.
• Only one difficulty per file is allowed. If you wish to submit multiple difficulties for a file, they must be broken into multiple submissions.
• Background image is optional, Banner image will be provided.

How Is This An Event???

Because! There Are Prizes!

• Stepartists that get at least 1 file accepted will receive the Community Pack '25 Participant badge.
• Stepartists that get at least 3 files accepted will receive the Community Pack '25 Super Stepper badge!
• Stepartists that get at least 1 new file accepted (not already accepted on FFR) will receive 1 Event Token.

And, of course, you get the satisfaction of having your files released and played. c:

Any song content restrictions? I'm probably going to send something with a slighty questionable reference in it's lyrics that would get it labelled explicit if sent to FFR

I’ll do it for the lore

So, time for a long overdue update to the Community Pack.

Due to a variety of factors, we missed the release deadline by a long shot. However, all hope is not lost. I'm refocusing on this project again with a projected release date of September 1st 2025.

What you can expect:

I'll be reaching out to stepartist with files pending fixes / responses within the next week or two to figure out what the state of their file is going to be going forward.

Some files are going to be Accepted or Rejected without any notes or comments posted. To expedite the process of finishing the pack, the decision has been made to focus most of the immediate time and effort on files that are "borderline" cases- files which will need some tweaks but could potentially work for the pack. Submissions which are more firmly falling into "Accepted" or "Rejected" status will still get feedback as well, however this will be held until closer to the packs release.
