Whiteboy

I was going to originally call it "YR: Advanced". But that sounds too dull. The name "Whiteboy" is my long-time high school nickname, given to me because my surname is "White".
On a related note, the names "Playstation", "Gamecube", "N64" and "Xbox" all sounded really corny to me (and no doubt many others), but look at how the names are accepted these days. "Xbox" (which I think is the worst name) is now a "hip" thing to say and not the crazy corny name it was not too many years ago.
Anyway, an update on progress: Survival and Spamfest modes complete, moving onto the final game mode: Heavy Metal.
The mod is still on track for a Christmas release (or January), but I may decide to attempt some build-up animations for the new buildings. My policy on that is: if I can't make the anims look as good as Westwood's, I won't have any at all. I'd rather there be no new buildups than buildups that look shoddy and detract from the good buildups already in the mod.
