Well after one year of development (in my own free time!) the game is finally in a state I’m confident enough about it to show it to everyone.

It all started with one small street and a small section of the hospital.

One year later the whole hospital is there, a lot of the city is build and the game is actually playable. Granted there is still a lot to do, but the foundation of the game is here.

The city
One of the things to do is finish the city and create more accidents in the city for an ambulance to respond to, I now have all the assets I wanted for the city so when the main city is done I will create the (smaller) second city and an additional (non-playable) hospital. From that hospital there will be ambulances send to your hospital with critical and/or specialized patients.

I’m hoping that this will be finished (or at least the main parts) by the middle of 2018.

I’ve added a bit more things to the city and started on the farmland for the 0.3.0 release.

The hospital
The hospital is done, well the walls of the hospital that is. With the latest build (0.3.0) I’ve added wandering points for patients who can’t find an empty bench they will clutter your hallway just like in real life.

I will be adding more rooms there will be three additional medium rooms, one or two operating rooms and specialized rooms for advanced illnesses. I will be adding one or two scanner rooms (X-Ray/MRI/CT).

AI
Traffic
Most of the AI work is done, the traffic does what it does, still has some bugs that I will be addressing.

Patients
The patients AI is done, maybe there will be some tweaks but most of the work is done.

Workers
Doctors/Nurses One of the main thing that I will look into during the alpha phase, this has not yet been implemented and I will have to look how I’m going to implement this into the game. I will give more information about this when I know more.

UI
The UI needs a lot of work at the moment its quality over style. It’s not the best looking UI, it still has bugs but you got to start somewhere so you will see improvements during the year. I promise you that.

Performance
I’m trying to improve performance and this will be an ongoing thing for the next year.

Mac support
I will look into mac support for the game as well. The unreal engine allows me to export the project to a mac but I cannot do this from a windows machine so I will need to find a solution for that, more information about this coming when I know how to do this.

What can I do
What you can do is play the game provide feedback on bugs or issues at the Bugtracker.

If you really like the game you can support it by paying a small amount of money to support the project.

I really hope you all have a great time playing a game, for now it was a great time developing the game.

A special thanks to all the pre-alpha testers for supporting the game and giving feedback on it, let’s make it even better then it already was.
