The long awaited Rescue update is finally available for the public on all branches. We spent all of October working with our exclusive members and then opening up to the staging branch to track down the most problematic issues. While there are still quirks and things to be ironed out, I am confident that this update is ready for you guys to begin messing with and that it is more stable than the previous update.
What took so long?
Life changing things in my personal life arose in September and October which caused me to move back home and be with family as my future was uncertain. I was still working but the time I could put into the project was drastically reduced as I had other things that needed my focus. Now that those things have passed I have been able to get back to full time focus on the game.
Where do we go from here?
I will continue to work on bug fixes, stability improvements, and performance improvements. While LC will continue doing his thing introducing new and revamped units, sound and lighting improvements and he’s now learning level design as he plans to add a Stillwater map to the game at some point in the future.
I myself will be working on making sure that the EMS system functionality is fully completed and Firefighter AI is next up as my main priority now that I have the time and experience needed to fully accomplish that feature I previewed late last year. This will be something that really transforms the single player experience and if you haven’t seen the preview go check it out here:

Once that is completed I plan on focusing on the Police mechanics of the game as it is the last department needing to be completed. Along with that will be additional rescue calls like water rescues and more that ESU will be involved in. Of course there are a ton of other things we are excited to eventually add such as throwback units which some have already been included in this update, map expansions, new firehouses, and units. But right now I want to get these main things out of the way first so the game can make the leaps it needs to make towards an eventual beta stage with all of the promised features.
Thanks all of you for your continued patience. I hope you guys enjoy!
