Permission transition progress

[bLasT]

Following the permission policy implementation, we have added a thread listing the current permissions. In this thread you can find the artists/songs for which we have permission to use in the game so you know what you can step to submit to us.
The judgment process will be loosened a bit to allow more charts into the game. Keep in mind we're still looking for quality charts only.

For the transition phase we have decided to remove one song for which we don't have permission every two days. We may speed up this process later.

I have also changed the FAQ page and the credits page to better reflect the current occupations of the staff.

Transition progress:
35%

Does this mean that some charts that were (presumed to be) rejected may be added to the game (though mine would also require a permission that isn't being requested yet as far as I know)?

[stargroup]

depends

[Ghakim]

why didn't you do this SOONER?

[Mollocephalus]

because it was easier to throw a bunch of songs in and test the game without having to wait for permissions

[Ghakim]

makes sense but then again you had all those songs like Mendes and what not.

[Ninty64]

Will you tell us what songs you remove?

I'll be kinda sad to see some of them go

Edit: And what happens to replays of songs that get deleted?

Mendes was a joke release due to some agreement Xiao and stargroup made. It wasn't supposed to stay in-game for that long, rofl.

Actually I didn't think about that (and I usually think through these things)... we haven't physically removed the levels from the servers so the replays still work.
I'll have to change this in the future.

Also
Added a "removed songs" in the level discussion thread.

ok finally started this.

I think you can speed up disabling "obvious" songs for earlier advertisement of this game though.

i'll try and get some permissions from 8bit artists that release creative commons songs.


(technically we're allowed to use these as long as they're credited)

[bLasT]

Removed 5 songs because I've been inactive the past 10 days.

Also added a "transition progress" thing in the OP. Because progress is cool.

[Slayer]

Soooo, will these removed songs be replaced soon?

[Patashu]

predicated on certain people getting off their lazy butts, yes

[Slayer]

I would step some cool songs, but I don't know how to step, or anything, soooo one more question.... Anyone know of any threads that tell you how? I couldn't find anything on Google, and I suppose it's because I'm not sure what I should search for. :/ It would be appreciated.

EDIT: This has been on 13% for a while.... >_>

[Patashu]

I wrote a guide here. It's specifically for easy solo charts but it should give you ideas on what to do in general: http://www.keybeatonline.com/forums/...read.php?t=868

I've been judging and I have two 6-key files in the works (one is an easier one, the other, a decently hard one). Submissions haven't been all that frequent, but they are there.

[Patashu]

I'm nagging stargroup into adding the 8? songs that we can add from psbp. here goes
