0.0.18 update available

GENERAL PRACTITIONER 0.0.18 ALPHA RELEASE - "Our Clinic, my Baby"

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

!PLEASE NOTE!
An overhaul of the Main Character (The Doctor) is in progress. I switched to the new Genesis 8 model to replace the older one which was made in Genesis 2.
Some images involving The Doctor may be outdated and they still need the update to be installed, so you might experience some differences between images. That's not a bug and will be fixed when the new ones will be ready.
Sorry for any discomfort this might cause.

* Bug fixing
  - Energy will no longer exceed 100 or be less than 0. Exceptions for this is the item "Energy Drink" which you can buy     from the online store which allows energy to be up to 125.
  - Fixed an issue where "Text Speed" and "Sound volume" were inverted in the "Preferences" Menu
  - Fixed an issue with Christina conversations sending the player back to the Main Menu
  - Fixed an issue with Christina's conversations which made them play all together instead of one at a time

    The issue was caused by a messed up call stack in ren'py which triggered under unknown circumstances. To fix this all     call stacks have been reviewed. Please report any more abnormal behavior about Robyn Exam

* "Anniversary Exam" special examination has been removed from the game
* Modified Dr. Kirkman's conversation in the main quest to be consistent with new game elements
* You won't be able to date Elisa after she told you she's pregnant. This was inconsistent with the game's script.
* It is no longer possible to have the game forcefully think Elisa's your girlfriend.

RANDOM EXAMS:
* Fixed an issue where asking a patient to undress caused the exam to start over again
* Fixed an issue that caused the doctor to ask female teenagers to remove more clothing than allowed (this caused a bug since this is not intended)

  - If you leave her she will be gone for good and won't return in the game
* An extended interview has been included when starting a new game. By asking the player a few "roleplay questions" the game will boost or decrease starting stats according to the character's choices. You can skip this interview completely and start with normal stats regardless.
* Starting money has increased to 5000 (from 50)
* Added Clara's romance minigame after her exam. You need to complete the exam with trust level at least at "GOOD" level to unlock this.
