Update 1.9 preview

Greetings!

Getting to work to General Practitioner is always lovely, and also a little strange. This is the first game I made with Ren'Py and there are lots of things I am not doing nowadays, either because I learned how to use the engine properly, and also because I found more efficient ways to do things.

Also, the different resolution of the images and the way they are managed are often misleading when I have to put them on-screen, and that makes everything more difficult than writing scenes for Yomi Alliance or The Devil's Shoes.

If you wish to learn more about my coding behind-the-scenes just pledge to my Patreon page, each month I will reveal some interesting stuff to my loyal pledgers ;)

Now, getting back into business, I want to introduce you to some new stuff introduced by patch 1.9, a pre-patch for the upcoming DLC "Emergency Procedures", with an introduction to its story and medical stuff.

• Meet Jessica Wilson in a brand-new, different medical exam which will feature a lot of conversation choices and consequences upon your fame, money and what will happen in the Emergency Procedures DLC as well
• Meet Bryan Calhoun, Dr. Benedetta Borelli's former boyfriend and head of St. Francis Emergency Services. Provided you hired Dr. Borelli into your staff, this medical examination will pave the way to the Doctor's involvement into the events of "Emergency Procedures" DLC, with direct consequences on its story. Your relationship with Dr. Borelli will also change according to the choices you'll make with Bryan. Both Jessica and Bryan's exams will be conducted by conversation choices only, the user interface which you're used to in other medical exams will not be available. This is a story examination, hence it won't be available in Exam Mode but it will be available in Story Mode and in Visual Novel Mode.
• The Strip Learning minigame will be made available to owners of "Teaching Medicine" free DLC. This was an intended feature in the base DLC which never made it to the final release because it wasn't working properly as intended. You can now challenge both Ada and Annette in a test of knowledge of Biology and Chemistry, using real questions made to Italian med-school candidates to test their knowledge of basic stuff. For every right answer you will remove a piece of clothing from the girls, until they lose everything. If you will win the game a brand-new achievement will be unlocked as well. But beware that 3 wrong answers will prevent you from continuing the game at all...

Update 1.9 will be available by the end of October on every platform. Now it's the perfect time to grab your copy, because in a couple months DLC#2 will also be availble!

Thank you for supporting our games! Really, thank you.

Always stay safe and healthy. Keep distance, wear a mask, we'll make through this!
