2024 and Dedicated Servers!
We know it's been a while since we last put out news before the holidays. A lot has been happening behind the scenes, but we’re now ready to give an update on Operation Valor and the future.
[h3]Dedicated Servers[/h3]
We're excited to announce the release of our dedicated servers!
Our dedicated servers will work through Steam Tools. If you've ever port forwarded a router you should be in good shape. Servers will not show up in game, you'll have to use the console to connect via IP. I've created an in depth google doc on how to port forward, how to run a server, and how to add admins. It's a working document so if you run into any issues please let me know in discord and I'll update it asap.

[h3]2024 Development[/h3]
This update isn't something we thought we would have to write so soon, but life happens, especially in indie development.
We’re still all-in on developing the fifth map, aiming for a midsummer release. This is something we really want to do and are working toward. Unfortunately, due to real-life circumstances, a few of our team members will be stepping away from development. As most of you know, we’re an indie dev team that also have full-time day jobs (unfortunately), so these things can happen.
We were hopeful before the new year that everything would work out, but the last few weeks have proved otherwise. This unfortunately means that Medic and Squad Leader AI will not be making it into the game. We’ve been trying to figure things out and, in the spirit of keeping things transparent with you all, the plan right now is to focus on the Dedicated Servers and the fifth map.
If things take a wild turn (if we go viral or something), we’re ready to ramp things up again. We will be keeping our public servers up, don’t worry.
[h3]Price Change[/h3]
Another big announcement! Late February/early March, we will be dropping the price of Operation Valor on Steam permanently. We’re just ironing out the details.

We’ve been blown away by the support the last few years. Whether you’ve been with us since the Alpha days or joined us at release, you’ve helped us get here. It's been a journey, and with your support, we’ve transformed the game; especially with our big overhaul in 2021.
The fifth map is coming, no matter what. It’s something we’re passionate about. And you can expect another play session from us when it drops - maybe even before that.
Thanks for sticking with us. You guys are awesome!
