Firefighter AI Previews (WIP Not included in this update)

https://gyazo.com/abb95168bea0c43891dd11a771a5ff2f

Progress with AI is well underway, in this gif you can see the Engine Rapid Deploy using the AI. The officer goes straight to the nearest burning fire. The Chauffeur (Driver) grabs the supply line and attaches it to the nearest hydrant. The Control man grabs the hydrant tool from the compartment and turns on the hydrant then goes to the hose bed. The Driver then goes to the pump panel and waits. The nozzle man goes to the hose bed and grabs a length of hose and then calculates the nearest burning fire and gets into position and stops within a safe distance from the fire. The backup man follows the nozzle man the entire time to back him up. Once the nozzle man is in position, the control man disconnects the hose from the hose bed and attaches it to the truck. Then the driver turns on the pump. The nozzle man crouches and begins to spray the fire. All of this is done with the click of one button. My goal with the AI is to automate as much of the process as possible but still leave room for the player to assume any role they want to.

In this gif, I demonstrate the AI following the officer as well as how easy it is to switch between the roles of a company and return them back to AI.

https://gyazo.com/800ff4f3df3a269b0fb043cf21220da9

In this gif, I demonstrate the lay in AI function which has the control man exit the rig, grab the relay line and hydrant tool, attach it to the nearest hydrant and charge the hydrant while the rig can position in front of the fire building if a hydrant is not in an optimal spot.

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:

https://youtu.be/khPw2eg66AE

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!

This update is another major update for Montgomery County to bring a Mack Engine, 4 New Mutual Aid Units, MCPD units revamped, uniform customization new ems calls & More. A full change log can be found below. This month was very busy with some personal time off and working on my side project which is now released for IOS, PC and Mac and coming to android in the next few days: "EmergeNYC Sirens & Horns" which you can find lots more information and links to below at the bottom of the page. This was an important project to me which I felt like needed to be done for the many many people who want to use the game's sirens but cannot play the game for whatever reasons. Now that this side project is complete I am able to return all of my focus back to the core game and the issues that need to be fixed. I hope you guys enjoy these new units and calls and expect more new calls, Rescue Update mechanics, and gameplay and performance improvements to continue being added in the coming days, and weeks.

EmergeNYC Sirens & Horns brings the unmistakable sounds of Emergency Vehicles to your fingertips. Ever wanted to wind up the mechanical siren or hold down the air horns on a firetruck? These same sounds are used in our realistic firefighting simulator on PC “EmergeNYC” on Steam Early Access. EmergeNYC Sirens gives you that ability with real to life sounds that are so accurate you can’t differentiate from the real thing. Our standalone PC EmergeNYC Sirens App is able to run in the background of other tasks and you can assign hotkeys for you to use these hyper-realistic sounds while playing other games such as

Firefighting Sim
Emergency 4
Roblox
GTA
Farming Simulator
Notruf 112
Beam NG
Police Simulator
Flashing Lights
Into the flames

You name it.

Me and LC are super excited to announce that our EmergeNYC Sirens & Horns Pro app is now live for IOS/PC & Mac and awaiting approval for publishing on the Google Play Store. This is my first mobile project so it has been a learning process but I am really happy to see that it has taken off before the release was even announced. Thanks to some overnight Viral Tiktoks about the app we have already reached #1 paid entertainment and #9 of ALL top paid apps on the app store.

The app has all of the sirens and horns from our successful early access emergency services simulator.
This includes our famous wind up Q Sirens and Electronic Sirens and over 30 different high quality looping Air horns

Some notes

A 3$ Basic and watered down version of the app will go live soon
The app will receive frequent updates on all platforms with fixes, improvements and additional sounds.
The google play store is still reviewing the app and we don't know how long that will take.

Hey guys! I took 2 weeks off earlier this month to deal with the burnout from release and post-release. While I was away LC worked crazy hard and took time to bring his vision to life by recreating his home town of Montreal in the game and some of the units they run up there. We decided we could use these units as Mutual aid units in Montgomery County that will spawn at the tunnel entrances. These skins are place holders until we create the fictional Mutual aid unit skins. There are 2 new Engines, a new Quint, and a new Rescue unit in Montgomery County in the upcoming update. One of the engines is the highly awaited old Mack truck. More of these old school units will come to the NYC maps in the throw back update at a further date. MCPD also has had a major revamp by LC. Since I got back I’ve been working on Memory leaks, bug fixes, optimizations, and multiplayer issues. The next update will contain all these new units as well as overall improvements to the game. No eta yet but we are not dragging this one out. Hope to have it ready to go before June. Stay tuned!

Update 0.9.1G is live on all branches and patches some game breaking issues like not being able to refill in the lake, SCBA Mask not stopping smoke damage, and some other issues. Keep in mind if you use the call menu in MP it may desync your random emergencies. If you only use the MDT or only use the Call menu the syncing will be fine, but if you try to use both, players may get different emergencies. This will be patched soon as I am working on fixing it.

0.9.1G Changelog:

Fixed not being able to refill aircraft in lakes in MC
Fixed taking smoke damage even with SCBA on
Added Spotlights to PD Cars (L to turn on/off, arrow keys to aim)
Fixed Fire Academy Scenarios to be synced now
Removed lag spike from spawning characters due to minimap icon initializing
Fixed engine 1 manual siren again
Added new Q Siren to be affected by siren volume slider
Removed vent fans temporarily

0.9.1F is live. A few fixes for some issues that were reported. Some known issues I will be patching next is emergency desync in Multiplayer when using the call menu, (they work fine with the MDT forcing and clearing) and not being able to refill in the lake in MC.
