[p][/p][p]From the bottom of our developer hearts...[/p][h2]THANK YOU! [/h2][p]These playtests have been crucial to the development of Medic: Pacific War, and we cannot thank our community enough for jumping in and providing feedback.[/p][p][/p][p]If you haven't had the chance to let us know what you think or just want to again, below you'll find our feedback form.

Don't worry, you can take a look at our playtest plans for the future below.[/p][hr][/hr][h2]Future Plans[/h2][p][/p][p]With playtest #3 in the books, we're looking forward to our final two playtests before release. For a refresher, here's what the plans are currently. Please note that all these plans are subject to change.[/p]

• [p]Better Development Focus - separating playtests for the campaign and Lifeline Mode helps us refine Medic: Pacific War more effectively. Feedback from Feature Playtest #3 helps us improve the Campaign mode.[/p]
• [p]The Next Feature Playtests - the first playtest covered both the Campaign and Lifeline Mode (then Arena Mode), while the second focused solely on Lifeline and the third focused only on the Campaign. Going forward, our playtests will follow this pattern:[/p][p][/p]

  [p]Feature Playtest #4[/p]

  [p]Feb 2026[/p]

  [p]Will again focus on Lifeline Mode. With feedback from earlier playtests, we aim to deliver a significantly improved experience, including expected - but not final - updates like added stages, gameplay variations, and more.[/p]

  [p]Final Feature Playtest[/p]

  [p]Mar 2026[/p]

  [p]Will mirror the first, featuring both the campaign and Lifeline Mode. By then, we aim to deliver the closest-to-final experience, with all feedback from this playtest feeding directly into the launch build.[/p]
  [p][/p]
• [p]All changes and feedback from each playtest will be added to the game’s Demo Version. This ensures everyone can try the latest updates, optimizations, and features as they’re introduced.[/p]

[p][/p][p]After a little bit of delay, Operation Lifeline continues! The conclusion of Feature Playtest #2 made it possible for us to further develop Medic: Pacific War - and we couldn't thank you enough for it.[/p][p][/p][p]Next up - Feature Playtest #3! In contrast to the previous playtest, this will be a Campaign-focused one - specifically an extended, alpha version of the first level of the game.[/p][p][/p][p]Without further ado, take a look at the details of the playtest below![/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h2]Our Third Mission - Feature Playtest #3[/h2][p][/p][p][/p][p]Starting January 30th, we’re opening Feature Playtest #3, giving you access to our third alpha build and another chance to help shape Medic: Pacific War.

Also - heads-up, Lifeline Mode is locked for this build while we focus on its continued development.[/p][p][/p][p]Expanded Pearl Harbor Level - most of you know Pearl Harbor by now - the first level of the game. Now that we're doing a campaign-focused playtest, we're letting you in on an expanded, alpha version! This means that you'll be able to go beyond what the demo offered, and even further beyond the airfield. This also includes some significant level redesign on some parts, so be sure to keep an eye out![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Significantly Improved Environmental Storytelling - emphasizing the need for campaign-focused feedback with Feature Playtest #3, we've dramatically improved visual storytelling. Now, you should see how the Pearl Harbor level story plays out in Medic: Pacific War thru the environment.[/p][p]Reworked Settings Menu - back then, we had a placeholder format for our settings menu, which included basic options to somehow tweak your game settings. Good news - we have completely reworked the settings menu, which now brings you more than just the basics. Tweak away, Medic![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Overall Visual Polish - if those previous screenshots didn't make it obvious - yes, we've fruther polished the overall visual presentation of the game. This should improve immersion further, as the game takes you into how we envisioned Medic: Pacific War should look like (for now).[/p][p]Treatment UI Tweaks - based on the feedback we received from the previous playtests, and all substantial feedback throughout development, we have made some tweaks to the Treatment interface, which should now be more intuitive than ever before.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Here are some additional updates/changes present on the upcoming Feature Playtest #3 build:[/p]
