| YR: Squared v1.0 Beta 3 Released! | | - MooMan65 | August 7, 2007 | The time is finally here! After five long years of development, YR: Squared is finally available for public download! Here are some of the things that await you:- Fight In New Arenas: Almost every single original map has been modified to improve balance and add in new terrain functionality with the 'Terrain Expansion' and 'Civilian Expansion' modules. Also marvel at brand new graphical designs for familiar theatres of war giving a fresh new look to games.
- Political Warfare: Take control of occupied China, or wreck havoc with biohazard Ukraine, replacing Libya and Iraq respectively as Soviet countries.
- New Arsenal Additions: With over 15 new units and 10 new structures including the Allied Battleship, the Soviet Flame Turret and the Yuri Leech, a genetically engineered pile of bio-matter that can infect enemy units, you'll have even more ways than ever to inflict pain on your opponent!
- Balance Is The Key: There are many hundreds of tweaks and modifications done to the current game to reduce those unbalanced moments!
- Enhanced Map Interactivity: Watch as flying debris from explosions and attacks litter the ground for extra cash! See the hugely improved Civilian cities as you watch more than 60 new Civilian units populate their streets, including the all-new Train system revived from Tiberian Sun!
So what are you waiting for? Head over to the download page now! 
NOTE: This mod is still classed as 'beta' software. This means that there may very well still be bugs and ningling things that slipped past me and my testing team; especially as I've not had the time I'd have liked to do some finishing touches. If you find anything that doesn't look right, is a bug, or just want to suggest something, there are a few ways of contacting me:Enjoy!  | |
| Status Report | | - MooMan65 | August 6, 2007 | | Don't worry people! I've not forgotten! I'm just having a very difficult time uploading the mod file to C-GEN's server. Unfortunately with Cannis AWOL at the moment, I am unable to sort out what it causing the upload issues, so I am awaiting on feedback from an external source to host the mod. As soon as that comes through, I will officially the release the mod. Apologies for the short delay! Everything is ready though so it shouldn't be long now! | |
| Update & Release! | | - MooMan65 | July 25, 2007 | Well, I don't even know where to begin here... First off let me apologise profusely for the lack of any activity over the year so far. There were a lot of things happening in my real life that affected me professionally and emotionally that hindered any kind of commitment to my hobbies. That's what resulted in this rather undesirable 'dead' period; during which many of you I'm sure lost faith in me and the mod, and I don't blame you. I'd have done the same thing in your position...
So what for the future? To tell you the truth my life is far more involved than it was six months ago. Things have changed both in my life and my interests that have drawn me away from working on the mod here and now, which has just led to it sitting here collecting dust... This long gap has had an effect on me as well; so much of the development of the mod is now unfamiliar to me due to so much time that has passed that I find it difficult to figure out how to pick up where I left off...
But all is not lost! I said I would never cancel the mod, and that's the truth. I spent too much time on this to just throw it away, and just because I can no longer do extensive development on it, it doesn't mean it's gone. Therefore, I will be releasing YR: Squared to the public next weekend! Finally you will be able to play it, and to be honest it's been at a stage where I believe it's playable. However, my lack of activity has not allowed me to do the final touchup stage that I'd hoped to do, so I will be releasing it as v1.0 Beta 3 which will be a public beta. This will allow everyone to do what I can't right now: be able to play it and report any issues to me which I can use to do the final changes and release the Gold version sometime down the track.
Unfortunately under current circumstances I will not be able to continue development of the mod for the remainder of the 50% for the time being. It's all here in my mind conceptually, but I just don't have time to actively develop it. But that doesn't mean you guys shouldn't enjoy the first 50%! It's been a long time, and you guys deserve something out of it; not just another inactive site.
Stay tuned! | |
| Merry Christmas from MooMan's Corner! | | - MooMan65 | December 24, 2006 | For those of you who celebrate it, I just want to take the time to wish all of you a:
 MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Hope you all get what you wanted, and I am thankful for those of you who are still here patiently waiting on the release! Of course I never imagined things would take this long, but I started this mod way back before I went into University which has now prooven to wreck havoc on anything else outside of any work related to that. But don't worry! Tiberium Wars is due out next year, and I have plans for that game so the last thing I need is for this to become unfinished business!  | |
| I'm Alive! | | - MooMan65 | December 18, 2006 | Okay, so maybe I did die for a moment there! Long story short, I got myself a job right after my exams finished and only now has holidays actually started for me.  This does throw a spanner in the works as I did really want to get YR˛ out as a christmas present to all of you, but time is running out fast. Believe me; I want this out as much as you want to play it, this has been going on too long. Things are very close... I just need to review Speeder's AI work, fix any remaining bugs, and package the whole thing up.
In the mean time, there's actually two information pages I've not yet released! I was saving them for the main release, but I figured you've been waiting long enough for something new anyway! You'll find the new Game Options and Multiplayer Maps pages on the left sidebar, detailing things about the game modes, game settings and new multiplayer maps you can use! | |
