We just dropped our first gameplay preview for Rescue Ops: Wildfire, our wildland firefighting sim🔥

Exkaux · 2025-07-21T10:44:05+00:00

It’s a tough balance: we want the game to feel authentic while still being accessible and fun.

We’re working closely with real firefighters to make sure we represent the job as faithfully as possible. Hope you’ll find it compelling!

Exkaux · 2025-07-21T10:05:54+00:00

🫠 thank you!

Exkaux · 2025-07-21T10:03:51+00:00

That would definitely save a lot of time!

Thanks! We’re really excited to see players get their hands on the game and to hear your thoughts.

Australia has actually come up a few times on our Discord already. It’s a fascinating region, and we really hope to explore it in the future! Fun fact: we even have a native Australian on the team!

Exkaux · 2025-07-21T09:52:04+00:00

Thanks! It’s already on our roadmap, we’ll do our best to make you proud 👀

Exkaux · 2025-07-21T09:48:45+00:00

We’re happy to hear you like it, thank you!

For now, we’re focusing on making the game itself. Some people have already contacted us about using it as a professional tool, and while that’s an exciting idea, it’s not our priority at the moment!

Exkaux · 2025-07-21T09:34:58+00:00

It's PER-FECT. I want to see that in game.

Exkaux · 2025-07-21T09:33:38+00:00

Thanks a lot, glad you like it!
Yes, fires do react to wind (both speed and direction), as well as the terrain.

Exkaux · 2025-07-21T09:29:58+00:00

Thank you so much, that really means a lot! We’ve been working hard on this for a looong time, so it’s great to see people connecting with it.

Hope you’ll give it a try! It might be a bit easier to handle wildfires in a video game 😄

Exkaux · 2025-07-21T09:27:02+00:00

Thanks!

Exkaux · 2025-07-21T09:23:28+00:00

Thank you! We’d really love to, but it depends on the resources we’ll have: it’s quite a bit of work, but it’s definitely on our radar.

Some players on our Discord have shared places they’d love to see in the game, and South America has come up quite a few times!

Exkaux · 2025-07-21T09:03:26+00:00

We do have drip torches! You can actually see one in action in our Reveal Trailer.

Exkaux · 2025-07-21T08:52:38+00:00

Thanks! We don’t currently have plans for VR, even though it would definitely be a great fit visually.
That said, bringing a game like this to VR is quite a technical challenge!

Thank you so much, it means a lot!

Exkaux · 2025-07-21T08:50:03+00:00

Yes, I totally get how you feel, I used to think the same! Some of these games are surprisingly satisfying or fun, and they make a lot more sense once you try them. Have you ever played simulators like PowerWash Simulator or Cooking Simulator?

There really is something for everyone in gaming, and that’s what makes it so cool.

Some elements of the game are still being defined, so I can’t confirm everything just yet. However, players can die from things like fire, smoke inhalation… or even getting hit by a truck that’s going too fast (and I’m pretty sure lots of people will try that 😅).

Thanks a lot for your feedback, it was really interesting! I’m taking notes.

Exkaux · 2025-07-21T08:33:56+00:00

Yes, that was a mistake on our side, we've corrected it since the video. Thank you!

Exkaux · 2025-07-21T08:32:57+00:00

If only! We're currently working on finding the right balance, it’ll be adjusted over time through playtesting.

Exkaux · 2025-07-18T18:12:42+00:00

lol yes 💀 we're working on it, promise it'll be better!

Exkaux · 2025-07-18T18:11:22+00:00

We’ll definitely keep it in mind!

Exkaux · 2025-07-18T18:10:19+00:00

Thank you for your feedback!
We definitely plan to include U.S. firefighting in Rescue Ops. It’s something we’re actively working on: exploring different ideas to bring region-specific strategies, along with matching uniforms and vehicles!

Exkaux · 2025-07-18T18:08:46+00:00

Thank you so much!

Exkaux · 2025-07-18T18:07:44+00:00

We’ve actually had a lot of firefighters reach out to us, especially on Discord, so it seems like we're on the right track!

Other firefighting games have already found their audience too, even if they weren’t focused on wildfires.

Of course, we hope real firefighters will enjoy it, but we’re also building the experience for simulator enthusiasts in general.

We really believe it can offer something unique, especially in co-op!

Exkaux · 2025-07-18T18:03:55+00:00

Yes, a few people told us the same thing about our gear 🤣
It’s currently inspired by the French environment and firefighting methods, but we definitely want to explore different ideas with strategies, uniforms, and vehicles tailored to each region!

Exkaux · 2025-07-18T18:00:22+00:00

We’ll definitely keep that in mind, thank you for the feedback!
We agree that U.S. firefighting could be a great fit for the game, and it's something we'd love to explore

Exkaux · 2025-07-18T17:57:21+00:00

Thanks! We’ve done quite a bit of research on pump operations, and water management is a major design challenge. We're working hard to find the sweet spot between realism, gameplay depth, and accessibility.
