Attention operators!

The next update will take some time as it is planned to be a big update that affects the core gameplay loop and changes to lighting. The current timeframe is 2 months and I plan to release devlogs on the official YouTube channel and discord server along the way showcasing the progress.

In the meantime consider joining the official discord server (https://discord.com/invite/operatordevgru) this is where I talk regularly with the community and is the best place for playing co-op with clear and reliable communication! There are also dedicated channels for suggestions and bug reports where I read every suggestion and report.

I would also like to announce that Unity Engine's next big update (Unity 6) is releasing with major lighting improvements and optimization which should elevate the game graphically.
Unity 6 is in beta and will be released later this year (Q3 or Q4). It will not be the next operator update.

Thank you for all the support!
