Attention, Medic!

It's been a long time coming - we are now walking on the road to Medic: Pacific War's eventual launch. Welcome to the briefing for Operation Lifeline, Medic. In this devlog, we're going to talk about the "missions" we're planning for the Operation, a small talk about the launch date, and the most-awaited part of this - an invite to our inaugural Feature Playtest. Let's not delay any further - have a closer look at our plans. Our troops need us!

Our First Mission - Feature Playtest #1

Before anything else - it's imperative that we talk about our first mission. This coming November 7th, we'll be holding our first-ever post-Demo Feature Playtest, where you'll get to test out our newest features and provide feedback for us to shape Medic: Pacific War into your much-anticipated experience. Check out the schedule of Feature Playtest #1 below!

Feature Playtest #1 Details

On our inaugural Feature Playtest, we'll let you test out our latest additions/changes to the game. Please note that these features are not yet final and may be removed/changed/tweaked based on your feedback.

  • Arena Mode Gameplay Tweaks - We’ve made adjustments to pacing, flow, and the overall feel of Arena Mode. With refined feedback systems and revised info displays that make each rescue more intense and realistic, we believe that these tweaks are meant to reward awareness and precision under pressure.

  • Quick Check of Wound Types - You’ll now be able to discover wound types by approaching the injured and pressing a key for a quick check, instead of learning about them when you fully interact with them. This subtle yet impactful change increases immersion and urgency, compelling you to make decisions quickly just before committing to actions.

  • CosmeticAdditional Simultaneous Wounded SoldiersThe number of simultaneous wounded soldiers has increased - forcing you to decide, prioritize, and adapt quickly when every second counts.
  • Further Optimizations - We’ve implemented broad performance improvements across both Arena Mode and the Story Mode Demo. Smoother gameplay, improved frame rates, and better stability during the most demanding moments of the battle are expected for most, if not all.
