Medic: Pacific War changes
Hello Medics!
We are over the moon to announce that we have reached the first stop on our roadmap! The 0.2 Voice Over Update (Previously the Challenges Update) is here! Update now for new voice lines, challenges, collectables, visual changes, and fixes. For the full list of changes, take a look below! ⬇️
🔊 0.2 Voice Over Update Intel
❤️🩹New and Updated Voice Acting
We’ve added or re-recorded about 100 lines of dialogue (including Mayers’). This applies to a large portion of the voice acting in the Pearl Harbor campaign chapter, as well as background dialogue on every map and in every mode. The battlefields now convey more pain, tragedy, and despair - without any contrived heroism.
This is just the first part of our efforts to get rid of placeholder audio content and overall improve the voice acting in Medic: Pacific War. In the coming weeks, we’ll release the second part of the rework, where we’ll focus on the Philippines chapter and conversations with the wounded.
The new dialogues were recorded by professional actors with experience in Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector and Mechanicus, Warframe, Tempest Rising, and other games.
We did not use generative AI at any stage of this update’s development, and we will not do so in the future.
Check out our Voice Over Devlog for additional intel here:
🏥 Background Dialogue Overhaul
We’ve introduced new conditions for triggering random dialogue lines on every map and in every mode. Now you’ll hear soldiers commenting on events on the battlefield much more often, depending on the context and location.
In the future, we will continue to develop this aspect of the game by introducing a wider variety of lines spoken by different soldiers, while maintaining high quality and historical accuracy. We are committed to faithfully conveying the emotions experienced during the tragedy of war.
🩸The Grime of Battle
We've implemented a system that causes Mayer's uniform and body to become covered in blood and dirt. Depending on the actions he takes. Mayers starts barely dirty, and by the end, he's covered in blood... not necessarily his own.
Blood and dirt gradually appear on Mayers as he treats the wounded, carries them on his back, and is injured.
💉Lifeline Challenges
We've added five brand-new challenges to Lifeline mode. Put your skills to the test as you rescue the wounded, and remember that completing a challenge rewards you with Perk Points. 🎉
In the future, we plan to continue developing Lifeline Mode by adding more challenges, perks, skills, maps, and a new currency system.
💊Collectibles
As you may have noticed earlier, Medic: Pacific War included an early version of the collectibles feature at the time of its Early Access release. We’ve expanded this feature with a dedicated menu where you can read about the items you’ve found and see how many you’re missing.
The collectibles menu is available in the main menu under the Extras tab, as well as in the pause menu. Subsequent chapters of the campaign will feature more collectibles to find.
