0.0.17 update Changelog Preview

Hi guys. This is the partial changelog of the upcoming 0.0.17 update, available for 20$ patrons on August 31st. Enjoy the many things I introduced:

GENERAL PRACTITIONER 0.0.17 ALPHA RELEASE - "Our Clinic, My Family"

GENERAL:

This update is COMPATIBLE with saved games from 0.0.11 public release and later.

* Bug fixing

  - Fixed an issue in "Stay Fit" chapter that made the game not recognize if Erika is living with the player

  - Updated Kiko's current 'end of available content' in-game tag

  - Fixed "Shady Business" chapter from starting over more than once when you choose purity/girlfriend path

  - Fixed Clara's exam "Medical Record" link which was crashing the game

* Added "Chapters introduction" throughout the game

* In-game Gallery is now available. Gallery implementation is not complete and will continue on future updates.

RANDOM EXAMS:

* Fixed a condition where only a few lines were used to reply to question #1 instead of every available ones

* Corrected the use of the "His" pronoun instead of "Him" in male's random exams that was due to a wrong find/replace

* Fixed patients' behavior to be consistent with their diseases in random examinations

* Height exam has been removed

* Revised how random examinations ask about the diagnosis. Now the correct one won't be on the same "spot" in the choice screen and will change every time the exam is played. That way the player won't be able to simply "guess the right position" of the correct answer but will have to actually perform the exam.

* Random exams coding has been significantly simplified. This is merely a code change and won't affect gameplay.

* "Exam purpose" dialogue has been introduced. This dialogue will play before the examination and explains why the patient came to the clinic in the first place.

  - More than 40 different "motivations" for requesting a medical exam have been included. Even those are important to correctly assess the patient's ailment.

* Improved the quality of the image for "Dating" in the daily chooser

If a teenager patient is available the game will have you choose to play her exam or to have your staff manage it. Teenagers come with their own set of questions, situations and pictures. As they are underage please remember that no nudity is involved in any of their exam.
