Fire Commander News

Hello, Heroes!

Today we want to talk about that other Fire Commander title you can find on Steam: Fire Commander: First Response. It’ll be a free prologue to our firefighting experience! So what exactly can you expect from it?

You might have a chance to play the demo during one of our recent showcases, like the one at Tokyo Game Show 2021. Fire Commander: First Response will be a bigger, better, more juicy version of the demo that will let you taste the gameplay, but also fully prepare you for what’s to come.

Consider it a prologue to the tale that we’ll tell in Fire Commander. You will get bits of the bigger story and also a much more developed version of our game. There will be a new class of firefighters under your command, improved AI (of both your people and vehicles), bug fixes, and more!

Once our prologue launches, it will let you get a free sample of the great firefighting action in Fire Commander. Don’t miss it - wishlist it today and spread the word!

Hello, Heroes!

Here’s the new status report straight from the Fire Commander headquarters.

One of the big things we’re working on is the side quests. As you know, besides the big, set-piece and story-heavy main quests in the game, you’ll also have a significant number of smaller (but still challenging) side missions to pick up. We’re currently ironing out the maps and the challenges to make them unique and important parts of the game. We want every location to feel believable so that you really want to take on these missions.



We’re also working on some other stuff, like optimisation, or things that don’t involve the development of the core game itself, like the in-game texts.

Stay tuned for more! Our prologue Fire Commander: First Response is also coming, and it will show you what Fire Commander is capable of to a larger extent than the demo.

Also, please wishlist our game and share it with your friends. It’s all incredibly helpful to an indie studio!

Fire Commander is our way to celebrate the heroes of the real world.

For some time now on our Facebook and Twitter we’ve been remembering the greatest fires in history. Take a look at some of the events we’ve covered.

If you’d like to learn more about real firefighting, consider following us, and add our game to your Wishlist.



This was a sad time for New York. The city still healing from a cholera epidemic suffered a winter fire that covered 17 blocks. It all started in a warehouse, with strong winds spreading the blaze.

With the rivers frozen, fighting the fire was extremely difficult. Firefighters had to drill holes in the ice. Water froze in transport. Buildings were blown up to create a debris barrier to stop the flames.

647 buildings destroyed. $20 million lost. Fortunately, only 2 people were killed. It was the greatest fire to date in America's history.

In the aftermath, the city built aqueducts for quick water access.



It was a terrifying and costly event in the history of Chicago. The Chicago Fire of 1871 burned for two days straight in October.

It is said that the fire was caused by a cow kicking over a lantern in a barn. There are also other theories, one says it might have even been a meteor. The true cause of the fire has never been determined.

The fire destroyed thousands of buildings in the Windy City and caused the death of around 300 people before the much-needed rain helped put it out. It also cost the city an estimated 200 million dollars in damages.

However great the losses, Chicago raised from the ashes like a phoenix. The reconstruction efforts began quickly and spurred great economic development and population growth.



Still fresh in our memory, the California wildfires of 2021 serve as a prime example of fire still being an untamable force of nature. Between January and October, there were more than 8,000 fires that burned over three times the area than in 2020.

The fire that destroyed over 1300 buildings--the largest one this year--is known as the Dixie Fire, named after the creek where it originated. It raged for months, from July 13th, and was finally put out only a couple of days ago, on October 25th.

The total area of the fire is larger than the entire state of Rhode Island. The fire significantly affected the quality of air in the entire Western United States.

The Dixie Fire will be known as the most expensive fire operation in California’s history to date.

We’re here!
Come to our booth at Poznań Game Arena in Poland and play the Fire commander demo! You can also meet some of the devs who are there, and more than happy to talk with the gamers.

Firefighters!

Fire is a peculiar enemy to fight in a game. Is it even an enemy? It doesn’t have an artificial intelligence or a goal. It just… is. And it spreads in any manner it can., destroying everything in its way.



We treat it as an enemy as it’s your direct target and opposition, and we’ve made sure that despite being an unmotivated force, it can surprise you and react to what you do. In the game, every surface is different, and it reacts differently to fire. It can combust easily or not at all. It can burn quickly or for a prolonged period. It can emit smoke or toxic fumes, et cetera.

There are different ways to extinguish the fire, depending on its type. You won’t put out an electric fire using water, for example. And if you start fighting it in one place, it can take a different route in some other part of the map. This makes fire a respectable enemy, and one that can make different playthroughs quite unique. Ultimately, how fire acts depends largely on you!
