- War Hospital, out now, is a tug-of-war between empathy and efficiency - 15 January 2024
War Hospital , out now on Steam , is about subsisting on the periphery of a war and keeping it firmly off-screen by means of adept time management . Set in 1918, it puts you in charge of a field hospital in northern France, a few minutes drive from the frontline. Here’s how all that works: casualties arrive from the trenches by ambulance or stretcher, and are carried by your medics to a clearing station, where nurses look after them before they’re seen by a doctor. Patients may be lightly or severely injured, but they will all eventually die if they’re left unattended. Read more

- Diversity in War Hospital. - 8 January 2024
How did we achieve diversity? Why does War Hospital only speaks English? In War Hospital, the player manages a British field hospital during World War I on the French front. In order to be able to show the diversity of people fighting and saving lives on the British side of the conflict, we decided on a rather special approach that resulted in War Hospital being available only in the English spoken language version. We invite you to read this story! When we started building characters who would be the player's advisors in War Hospital, the first thing we did was quite obvious, which was to divide these characters by their specialties. Therefore, we decided that these characters would be: The head of the nurses' service, the chief engineer, the hospital defense commander, and the leader of reconnaissance units. This is quite an obvious division, characteristic for tycoon like games, whic…
- How to show complicate numbers in simple ways - Video Dev Diary #3 - 3 January 2024
Greetings Major, With only a few days remaining before War Hospital launches, Brave Lamb Studio's devs give you an inside look at the game's economy. The human resources and regular resources sectors are the two main economic divisions of War Hospital. All of the medications and semi-finished goods are found in normal resources. Semi-finished items are helpful for building and maintaining your hospital, while medications are helpful for treating soldiers, as you might anticipate. You can order regular ressources, but you'll quickly discover that you'll never have enough, so you'll need to find another way to get them. Human resources includes surgeons, nurses and medics, nevertheless, as with other resources, the quantity of patients you must cure may quickly overwhelm you, therefore you'll need to manage your staff... and be forced to recruit. Don't hesitate to give us your feedback, f…

- Important news about date release! - 9 October 2023
Dear players, You have been following our news for a long time and you know that we are committed to making a truly unique game. As the aim of the game is to save people rather than kill them, War Hospital offers a different perspective from other war strategy games. We want to make the game as deep and realistic as possible while respecting the subject it deals with. This is why War Hospital features a range of game mechanics, including management, strategy and role play. These different systems are complex, and we require more development time than previously thought to find the right balance. To achieve our authenticity and quality goals, we have decided to extend our development time and push back the release to early 2024. These additional months will allow us to refine details, balance the game and fix more bugs so that you have a more polished game. Thank you for your understandi…
