Update 0.7.9B is Live! Lots of bugs fixed! New Game Mechanics added!
*Mac Users, we are aware of the issues that arose in the last update. We are addressing them and will have a Mac Build up sometime this weekend*
Good morning everyone! I'm excited to publish the first update for our major update 0.7.9B which was released last week. I spent this week thoroughly testing and revising bug reports and suggestions and working on fixing, adding, and tweaking the game. A few big changes have been added in this update.
The first thing I want to show is the new damage visualization system.
We have increased the damage and proximity you take from fires to make it more dangerous and realistic.
Before, there was no indication that your character was being hurt or dying. Now, we have added an obvious screen effect which gets more intense the longer you are being injured. Also added, is a breathing and heartbeat sound effect as you get closer to dying.
We also tweaked the air system to have the shaker sound once you reach low air. This is still a WIP and some of you will notice that. Should you run out of air simply re spawn your character. We are currently working on adding an option to refill your Air at any of the trucks. In the mean time, air is no longer refillable just by walking outside. Think of it as a stamina/air bar. Once your firefighter is drained, respawn a fresh one. We will make this more practical in the next patch with the option to refill your bottles and stamina.
Next we added several new building fires. 3 new House fires in the Fire Academy Neighborhood and 1 new house fire in Manhattan. We are currently working on 2 new House fires in a new neighborhood you will notice was added to Montgomery county.
We also added Scene lights to the Montgomery County Engine and Flashlights to the firefighters
We fixed many problematic bugs in this patch as well. You can find the full change log below!

Fixed many helmet lights that would illuminate but would not illuminate the ground
Doubled the capacity of the Tanker
Added Smoke columns to many of the fires
Fixed missing collisions on the new Motel Fire
Fixed Auto Body shelf sticking through the back of the building in Montgomery County
Removed the MP Disabled warning
Removed some annoying smoke detectors
Fixed an issue where hydrant connections would detach themselves automatically
Added 3 new House Fires to the Fire Academy
Fixed some of the new fires that were misaligned in Montgomery County
Added a new House fire in Manhattan
Worked on the roads and terrain some more in Montgomery County (Still needs more work)
Added a basic interior to the Quint
Fixed an issue where the Quint outriggers would sink into the ground
Fixed the Equip EMS Bag Icon being a white box
Fixed returning the EMS bag to the Quint issues
Added a aesthetic pipe to the Quint that runs from the turntable to the master stream

You can now control the Quint Master Stream with your character at the tip of the Ladder to be able to see where you are spraying better.
Reworked the Air and Health System (Fire will now damage you more realistically)
Added Damage Visualization so it will now be obvious when you are being hurt by fire
Added a Flashlight to the Montgomery County Firefighter’s helmet
Added Scene lights to the rear of the Montgomery County Engine (Use radial menu near hose bed)
Fixed an issue where you couldn’t close the Uniform UI without needing to click the Red square (Now you can simply press F3 to toggle it)
