Major Milestone & Present!

- MooMan65

March 30, 2005

After glancing quickly at the hit counter I see MooCorner has passed the 100,000 hits mark! For a sole modding project site this is quite an achievement! I'd just like to take the time to thank everyone to bearing with me so far while YR˛ is in development. It's hard being a full-time student and working on such a big project at the same time. I'm putting much thought into the development of each feature to make sure it's something enjoyable and balanced, so at least you will know it will be of high quality come the eventual release.

But just to show you guys that I've not stopped, I've given you a small celebration present in the form of the Soviet Infantry information page! Now you can read up on all the latest changes to the Infantry part of the Soviet force! I was planning on releasing the NewUrban graphics changes now, but that required a bit more time, something I don't have in abundance as much as I used to.

Happy reading! Oh... And expect a poll change soon as we near the end of March and a decision on the Yuri hero unit. I should have the whole thing done before I start releasing Yuri's info pages. And there has been a couple of changes to the Allied force since the first version of the info pages for them were released, so expect an update for them as well.

Progress Report

And so the dreaded thing that is University has begun again for me. First week finished and already I'm knee deep in programming assignments and system design.

I'm still working on NewUrban every free moment I get. I'm pretty close to completing it actually, only a couple terrain and miscellaneous decoration tilesets left to do. So far it's looking quite nice, the grass's are different from the Temperate ones so the maps are quite unique. Yes, these changes will take place on every map automatically when you have the mod installed, whether they be official or fan-made (for those of you asking me).

Once that is done, I will be making any more gameplay/bugfix changes from Beta 1 (including deciding upon a name for Yuri's new hero based on the current poll), try to get the rest of the damn information pages online, and release Beta 2! No amounts of homework are going to keep me from doing this! It just may delay it slightly longer than normal. Sorry!
