https://store.steampowered.com/app/461430/

We have revisited a lot of the current systems and improved on many things such as lighting, graphics, game play and more. Also new to EmergeNYC in 0.7.0 are new FDNY and NYPD vehicles including a new Tower Ladder and NYPD Crime Scene Unit. AI Emergency Vehicles can now respond! A new "Optimized map" option is included which removes many of the additional details buildings that may cause some to have performance issues. Traffic has also been worked on to be more optimized and responsive. There is a new optimized city map which we encourage trying out if you have had issues running the city map in the past.

We want to know what you all want to see next for update 0.8.0! Leave a comment down below! We can focus on the game mechanics for NYPD. Work on the Rescue Update which will add car accidents, water rescues and more. Or we can begin the game mechanics for EMS. Let us know what you want!

We want to remind you all that we are still in Pre-Alpha and this is still a game in the early access testing phase and is patched several times a week to improve game play and performance and address issues and bugs. We are looking to expand our team of developers so that the project can be completed at a faster pace. That means that from now on the reporting of bugs and issues in the game needs to be done in a more organized fashion. Please report bugs and issues in the game in the following fashion:

What is the issue + Steps to replicate the issue
What is your current version + system specs
Screenshot or video of the issue
