Hello everyone! I know it's been a pretty long time but there's finally a new event map for The Fire! This map is completely free and available now in the extras tab in game! I really appreciate the support I've received on this game and it means a lot to me to see all the people who've enjoyed it. Unfortunately, this will likely be the last major update to The Fire, so hopefully you all enjoy it!
Alpha Level
Something I've thought would be interesting and have wanted to add for a while is the alpha map from the original demo of The Fire, so for a new extras level I've ported the very first map for The Fire into a new level, just for people to see the history of the fire.

Hey folks! It's been a little while but thank you for everyone who's gotten the game! I've had a really fun time developing it and like I said, will continue to. Just not as frequently. Before I start talking about nonsense here's the patch notes for this update: -Fixed issue with achievements not granting after chapter complete -Fixed issue with graphics settings not saving between sesssions -Made some sound effects less brutal on the ears -Fixed some backend stuff that (should) make the game run better -Small changes to how the player interacts with sounds -Small environment changes.

But I hope you all have enjoyed your time playing The Fire! Also... There might be another game in the franchise in the works to look out for. So stay tuned ;).
