- v0.3.2 — HéliSMUR Comes to Centre 18 - 21 August 2026
Patch Notes — v0.3.2 FEATURED — Air Bases and HéliSMURDiscover a brand-new building type: the HéliSMUR air base. Purchase a HéliSMUR aircraft, recruit its crew of one doctor, one nurse, and one paramedic, then assign them to your base. Upgrade the base itself, its hangar, and its staff capacity. Manage the fleet, medical crew, and upgrades from a fully illustrated detail screen. HéliSMUR aircraft fly directly to incidents without relying on the road network, then return to their base. They can replace a VSAV or resuscitation ambulance on certain medical missions and transport a casualty to the hospital themselves. Their onboard medical team can remove the need to dispatch an additional light medical vehicle. Air bases and HéliSMUR aircraft are integrated into the Buildings, Vehicles, Personnel, Recruitment, Shop, and Operations apps. FEATURED — A New Call CenterThe main building and its…

In Development: A First Look at Update 0.3.2 I am currently working on the next Centre 18 update: version 0.3.2.

The building, its rooms, furniture, lighting and overall atmosphere are being improved to create a more believable and lively environment. 🔥 New Incidents Eight new missions are planned, including more complex fires, vehicle fires, domestic explosions…

- v0.3.0 - The New Operations App - 18 July 2026
Patch Notes - v0.3.0 v0.3.0 - Operations replaces Map and Call Center NEW - The Operations App (major addition)Map and Call Center no longer exist as separate apps: they merge into one, entirely redesigned application. A single application now brings together calls, missions, vehicles, and the map, instead of switching between two separate apps. Fully customizable panel grid: move and resize each panel (Calls / Missions / Vehicles / Map) to set up your workstation exactly the way you want. The map is now integrated directly into the app, with stations, hospitals, vehicles, and real-time mission routes. REWORK - New Cards for Calls and MissionsCalls and missions are now shown as cards colored by severity, so you can spot what needs your attention first at a glance. Each card shows the essentials right away: type, severity, address, and status. REWORK - New Intervention SheetQualifying a…
- v0.2.3 - Mission and Reinforcement Reliability - 5 July 2026
Patch Notes - v0.2.3 v0.2.3 - Mission and reinforcement reliability FIX - Mode Selection Screen Unusable on Ultrawide The sandbox / career selection screen was unusable on ultrawide monitors (oversized interface, unreachable buttons). This is now fixed on all wide screens. FIX - Options Menu Inconsistent Between Pause and Main Menu The Options menu opened from pause (Escape in-game) didn't have the same style as the main menu one. Both now display identically. OPTIMIZATION - Reduced NPC Memory Allocations NPC movement was needlessly expensive on performance. This optimization reduces micro-stutters in scenes with several active NPCs. FIX - Transport Mission Could Get Stuck Forever If no hospital was available when an ambulance requested transport, the mission could get stuck indefinitely. A backup hospital is now offered automatically so the mission can always be completed. IMPROVEMENT…
- v0.2.2 - Escalation and the Banking Market Change Everything - 12 June 2026
Patch Notes - v0.2.2 v0.2.2 - Escalation, banking market, game day system, and call center NEW - Banking Market (major feature)The loan system has been completely reworked with a real dynamic market. Borrowing is now a strategic decision. 5 playable banks with distinct profiles: stable, variable, or aggressive rates depending on the institution. Rates change every day — you need to watch the market and pick the right time to borrow. Redesigned interface: each bank shows its logo, name, and rates for all three available durations. Loans available for 3, 7, or 15 days with flat fees set at signing — no surprises. Maximum 3 active loans and 200,000€ outstanding debt at any time. Free partial repayment at any time (no penalty) or full early repayment (+1%). NEW - Escalation System (major feature)The deepest change to missions in this update. A shift never plays out the way you expect. Any i…
- v0.2.1 - Hospital Overhaul, Station/Hospital separation, economy rebalance - 3 June 2026
Patch Notes — v0.2.1 v0.2.1 — Hospital System Overhaul, full Station/Hospital separation, major medical update, and broad mission/economy rebalance Headline — Hospital System OverhaulVersion 0.2.1 is a major structural step for the game. Hospitals are no longer a secondary layer: they now act as a full gameplay structure with their own flow, ownership logic and fleet identity. The goal of this overhaul is clear: make medical gameplay cleaner, more believable, and much more rewarding to manage. The new hospital system (buy + place) replaces the previous auto-generated behavior. Building placement is now cleanly decoupled from automatic side-content generation. The opening tutorial now explicitly guides station placement, then hospital purchase/placement. Important: your first hospital is free so you can start the medical flow immediately. Legacy save compatibility: unowned legacy hospita…

This release marks a major turning point for the game and its vision. With 0.2.0, Centre 18 scales up: the project has been fully revisited, rebuilt, and adapted to Unity.

- Patch Notes — v0.1.5 - 3 May 2026
Patch Notes — v0.1.5 Operational improvements Hospital transport is no longer systematic: the decision now depends on the type of incident and the victim's condition. A VSAV responding to a simple fall may return to base without transport if the assessment doesn't require it, while a cardiac arrest or chest pain will almost always trigger a transport. Non-medical vehicles (FPT, EPA...) are now released as soon as they have completed their role, even if the VSAV is still handling a hospital transport. The FPT returns available to the station without waiting for the VSAV. The VLCG (group commander) now leaves the scene earlier than the firefighting engines: it departs once command has been handed over, independently of the other vehicles' return. Fire reinforcement vehicles (FPT, EPA...) now work in coordination with the initial engine. When the reinforcement arrives on scene, it synchron…
- Patch Notes — v0.1.4 - 1 May 2026
Patch Notes — v0.1.4Steam Achievements Improved tutorialThe career tutorial has been fully redesigned to be clearer and more intuitive. Desktop icons are now locked during the tutorial: only the icon for the current step is accessible, the others are greyed out. The target icon glows amber to clearly show where to go. Tutorial texts have been rewritten with numbered instructions (e.g. 1. Check... 2. Select... 3. Click...) so each step is unambiguous. Animated golden arrows appear to point exactly at the button or element to click at each sub-step. In the Training page: an arrow points to the "Unassigned vehicle" checkbox, then the "Crew commander 1 team" training is highlighted, then an arrow points to the "Assign training" button. A new tutorial step has been added: the Academy (step 8). The Progression tab is shown first to introduce the XP and rank system. A golden arrow then guides…
