Minor Resonance Update and FFR Top 1000 Players

Posted in FFR News on November 9th, 200639 Comments »

Two tidbits of news today. First off, in case any of you missed it we added a 20 Most Recently Uploaded Sims button within Resonance. That allows you Resonance fans to play the most recently uploaded playable sims. Give it a shot and send feedback if you have thoughts.

Secondly, and by popular demand, I did a little ol’ update to the Top 100 FFR Players page .. and created the FFR Top 1000 Players. Yessiree. Now if you didn’t see your name up there in that there old list of 100, I bet at least 1000 of ye can find yer names in this new list.

Additionally, to make sure everyone gets a looksee, I present you with the Top 10 as of today too.

Song of the Week Players Matched Up

Posted in FFR News, Song of the Week on November 7th, 200640 Comments »

As many of you may know, the FFR players have been playing this week’s Song of the Week – 20031023 hard and heavy. As a result, many of the competitors are now tied for the top spot of high score. The current Top 10 for 20031023 tells the tale as it were:

1 – dAnceguy117 – 1734450
2 – Shashakiro – 1734450
3 – Bahamut-X – 1734450
4 – scottish – 1734450
5 – Dynam0 – 1734175
6 – Lokfable – 1733900
7 – Loyal2Death – 1733900
8 – Exag0n – 1733625
9 – argo15 – 1733625
10 – Breach – 1733625

Often times it may seem that we focus in on only a few of our top players. However, n3v3rl4nd pointed out that it would be a good idea if we make an effort to mention other top players at FFR and put their names up in lights.

We generally do our best to listen to your suggestions. Always feel free to comment and give us feedback. We will do our best to make sure that your ideas are taken into consideration for future enhancements.

As promised,

Can’t Decide – Dell Laptops or Viao Laptops

Posted in FFR News on September 20th, 2006148 Comments »

As we spend all our time here at FFR with our heads down in the code and on Flash, its time we updated our development laptops. This time through, we think that laptops would be the best solution for some of our working habits (aka, never away from the pc). As you will guess, laptops allow us to go on vacation and drag our laptops to work on. (like we ever really go on vacation and ever actually stop working).

Keeping our work habits in mind and knowing what all we have been producing lately, we arrive at two different laptop manufacterers that will suit our needs. We evaluated Toshiba Laptops, and Gateway Laptops and yes, even IBM Thinkpads. However, based on some personal preferences, as well as specs, we narrowed down our choices to two laptop models each from Dell and Sony.

Here is what we are looking at so far: Read more… »

FFR Level Stats / Song Stats and IIR

Posted in FFR News on June 30th, 200618 Comments »

Many of you have likely already noticed, but the FFR Game Level Stats or essentially the Song Stats came online this week. More work is being done in the stats over the next week or so. If you have suggestions regarding game stats, or having difficulty finding your way around in existing stats, let us know. Likely we will tie the game stats together with the Top 10 Songs of the Day as we continue to develop.

Additionally, we are redoing some of the Independant Internet Ranking (or IIR) interface and getting some cleanup done in there as well. I think its back up and running fine for now, but if you find issues with it, do let us know.

Posted in FFR News on June 29th, 200615 Comments »

After our late night and .. well not so late night upgrades and updates, the FFR Servers are running strong.

What does this mean to you guys? For now, we can finally say, that Flash Flash Revolution, FFR Multiplayer, the Simfile Database, FFR Vidchat, FFR Forum, IIR and newly, SpinItUp are all operating smoothly and should easily take the heat.

Stay tuned for more updates to the site over the next few days as we have a LOT of things on the burner .. both the front burner and the back burner. As we get closer, you guys will hear of them .. one of them likely VERY soon. We are doing all we can to make sure that you, the fans of music games, have as much to tinker and play with as possible.

More to come .. don’t blink

FFR Site Update Still Going Strong

Posted in FFR News on June 19th, 200616 Comments »

As most of you have already noticed, FlashFlashRevolution.com is still moving and shaking this server, the monster that it is. We are watching closely to see how things are going to go with the load we have been pushing. To further see how the server handles we have put up some new stats (and some not so new) for you folks as sort of candy and bragging rights.

Initially we have the FFR Multi-Player Scores and Stats up and getting some more adjustment. Should be solid shortly.

Additionally, we have the FFR Top 10 Songs Played Today listed…
