Yet Another Spaceshooter

Be welcome, if this is the first time you visit this site, the About YASS page might be a good place to start for you. There you will find information about what YASS is and what it will be.

This starting page is split up into two groups: one more often updated section about the ongoing development and the other about other and bigger news.

We also have a forum where you can ask questions or just tell us about anything you want.

To stay updated on news, you can use a RSS feed

By now we have a quite nice and constantly growing screenshot gallery, where you can follow the development progress. A seperate feed is available with the Nightly Shots feed.

Last but not least there is a feed for the updates which are available using the auto updater Update Feed.
