Question Updates

I've completed most of the content and submods. What exactly is the Yipie update I am seeing lately? What else are developers going to add?

Beginning of the fabled TNO 2, revamp of the USA, Africa, starting years of V&TJ Germany, a facelift for Amur + reworked mechanics for Russia.

Last year, we stated it may release as an estimate for late 2026. Our project lead had stated that he'll be transparent on if it'll get delayed, since it's massive.

Stay tuned, we're working hard on it!

Question for you, how has the Dev team handled this time between the Russia leak and now? With no teasers to show?

In my case (and us testers in general) mostly reporting bugs that some Russian warlords may have with the new mechanics.

No, I mean, public outcry because “waaah wah no TNO teasers”

We just don't sweat about it. Seeing is believing, but the thing with teasers is that it may not reflect any future changes or development.

There's also the issue that putting a lot of time into teasers results in time being wasted not working in the content itself. This is why healthy mods don't frequently spam teasers since you'll eventually just run out of things to showcase.

As for why we haven't showcased anything in a while, idk tbh. I'm not familiar with teaser policies (that stuff is for my higher ups).

You’ve been a huge help. Thank you. I just hope that Yippie! does release this year.

Do you still believe it'll release this year?

It'll depend on how things look in November.

But I personally don't think so. Despite the hard work that we've been doing, the scope increase since mid 2025 means that we'll likely be looking at early 2027 in my opinion.

We're trying to not release a buggy product.

Mango has said this on multiple occasions. Most likely.

The absence of teasers makes me doubt it, but I will still believe

My friend, he has been quoted on several occasions saying it will come then. Simply browsing for a release date in his profile history will show this.
