Hello all,
Flashing Lights' November update is now live! Read on for details.
Before you read on, please do consider voting for Flashing Lights in the IndieDB Indie of the Year Awards!
Flashing Lights November Update Now Live!
This month's update adds a fuel system for all player vehicles, where you'll have to refuel at gas stations, as well as SCBA equipment for the fire department, allowing you to tackle smoke zones, interior fires. These were both heavily voted for features in the community roadmap poll and we are excited to hear your thoughts!
Please note that if you wish to play without the new fuel system, you can turn it off in the menu.
Watch out for the December update, which will add a player police van, prisoner transport missions and the ability to tackle suspects!
