Hey, thank you for the post. We really appreciate the feedback on what can be improved.

We are definitely going to be hiring a bigger team in the near future, we are at the moment nearing completion on a new office that will allow us to expand the team a considerable amount. We are currently in a small office so it is unfortunately impossible for the time being.

We'll be working on the lighting system as a priority this week, we'll have news to share on this soon.

Regarding the smudge bug, there was a change a few days before the update released that caused this so it was not the fault of the testers. We'll be making changes to how we release and test updates in the future to allow for a smoother release.

Hey everyone,

We are aware of a bug that is preventing your connection to the unity cloud servers. We are investigating and will get an update out as soon as we can.

The issue is caused by international sanctions not allowing your connection to the US Unity server. To get around this you must use a VPN.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
