Update 0.8 introduces new and refined firefighting mechanics for the game.

The first area we tweaked was the health and air system to be a little more real to life and give the player feed back.

Venting has been added onto as well with the addition of the vent fan. Vent cuts and the vent fan will release smoke and steam from an area nearby to where you make the cut or use the fan. This allows you to have better visibility.

The ability to refill your SCBA bottle once it runs empty.

Full 0.8 Changelog:

New Fire in Manhattan
Updated Loading Screens and Main Menu UI
Added Vent Fans
Added a Fog Nozzle Option (Middle Mouse Button)
Roof Venting now releases smoke and steam from the area below
Tweaked Air system again
Refill SCBA Bottle Option added to most vehicles
Readded Subway Scenarios in the Fire Academy
Montgomery County Traffic will now stop instead of driving through your vehicles
Fixed Missing street collisions on new neighborhood in MC
Fixed no option to select the chainsaw on L75
and more...

0.8A Hotfix Changelog:

Fixed SCBA Shaker still on after swapping out SCBA Bottle
Fixed Walking damping issue
Fixed Hydrants missing in Montgomery County

In 0.8.1 we are fully focusing on fixing 2 persistent issues. Hoses disconnecting themselves, and a bug where if you die sometimes you are unable to respawn your character.

*MAC users* We are continuing to look into your issue which requires a Unity upgrade to 2019 and may cause significant issues in the project. We will keep you posted.
