Default Re: A new genre?

the genre system is completely flawed in terms of organizing song placement... but when the game first came out (1st style), there were only 4 initial dance songs. then a few hip-hip, funk, and rock songs were added. then a few arcade songs. then a few classical songs. and then a few more dance songs. and that was 1st style... about 25 songs total, with dance, hip-hop, funk, rock, arcade, classic, and dance2.

then 2nd style came around and we expanded initially to about 60 songs, and added misc, secret, and purchased. that was 2004. over the next 2 years, the song list expanded to about 110 songs. everything was contained fine, nothing was over 3 pages, etc etc. Then I took over adding songs... and now there are over 600 levels in the FFR, things are over crowded, we have way way way more genres of songs... it becomes a nightmare to perfectly place every song... and we do the best we can until we can release 3rd style, which will address the song placement and sorting issues, to make sure we can reasonably hold thousands of songs in the game.
