I planned on removing older Steam betas for some time now. With 0.8.2 I hit Steam's maximum betas count and will have to remove at least one to be able to make a new release. So I decided to clean things up. There currently are the following betas: 0.3.4 0.3.5 0.3.6 0.3.7 0.3.8 0.3.9 0.4.0 0.4.1 0.4.2 0.5.0 0.5.1 0.5.2 0.5.3 0.5.4 0.5.5 0.6.0 0.6.1 0.6.2 0.6.3 0.7.0 0.7.1 0.8.0 0.8.1 0.8.2 With MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH versioning, I plan on keeping the highest patch version of every minor version (plus recent ones regardless). Which means the following will remain: 0.3.9 0.4.2 0.5.5 0.6.3 0.7.1 0.8.0 0.8.1 0.8.2 If you are playing on one of the to-be-removed ones, please pick the matching minor version, so you can continue playing with your savegame. E.g. if you were on 0.3.3, pick 0.3.9 . If you were on 0.5.0 pick 0.5.5. Please also let me know if you're actually using the betas, since I could remove more if there's no demand for them. I'll wait at least a week from now until removal (unless I have to release a new version to fix a bug).

Version 0.8.2 is now available https://buckmartin.de/factor-y/2024-05-04-v0.8.2.html

I'm renaming the game to 'Factor Y', you should notice the new name in more and more places while the rename is in progress. The name of the executable and Steam app folder will stick to 'Combine And Conquer' for now to make sure everything remains compatible. If you see the old name in other locations a few days from now, please let me know. 0.8.1 updates strings within the game and also contains some small improvements: https://buckmartin.de/factor-y/2024-04-02-v0.8.1.html
