Greetings fellow players and doctors! Recently, I was presented with an engaging opportunity that necessitated a shift in my current life. As such, I had to part ways with Bruni Multimedia and pass on the rights of ownership for all games and their licenses to another entity. Although this decision wasn't easy for me to make, it has opened up many doors of potential success moving forward. Dodonovels is the new entity which will own all of my games in the future.With the idea of rebranding in mind, I believe now is an ideal moment to create a new name and logo for my games. Updates and patches for all the games have been delayed a lot for this reason, and I apologize for that. With confidence, I will now take the lead again and you can anticipate more releases and content to come shortly. This is even with a few collaborations from some of the people who responded positively to my request for help that I issued only weeks ago.
What is going to change for the games? Absolutely nothing, except that bug fixing and new content will be once more made available faster and sooner. Does this mean you're no longer involved in the projects? No, I'm still very much involved. The same development and ideas are still at the wheel and will continue to provide support for each game as usual. Something will change especially in General Practitioner 2, and the game will receive more and more content. Do you still need our help? Of course I do! Crowdfunding and early access is of fundamental importance for very small indie studios like Dodonovels, and the future success and release of the games depends on how well they're received and supported by the public. Without your help , it would be impossible to make all projects a reality. Thank you for your trust and support during this transition period. It has been an amazing journey so far and I'm looking forward to what the future holds! Sincerely, Andrea

Dear friends, I am writing to you today to announce that I am looking for contributors, supporters, publishers and more in order to keep providing the best gaming experience I can. As many of you know, 2022 has been a very tough year globally and sales have decreased dramatically, with the Russian market cut off and the German one taking down 18+ games on Steam. Deep personal issues over the last two years also took their toll, unfortunately. That being said, I wish to continue creating the best games possible and to keep supporting the projects I have already created. Unfortunately, I am a one-man show and cannot work as fast as before due to external influences. Your help would be greatly appreciated in order to reach my goal of delivering the very best gaming experience. It doesn't matter how small your contribution is, every little bit helps in achieving this goal! I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who are currently supporting me on Patreon. You are the ones that make it possible for me to continue creating the games I love and for that, I cant thank you enough! I am open to any type of support, including business relationships and investments. Globally both General Practitioner, GP2 and the other games have had quite a success in the last few years, and GP2 has been praised and well received from the community. Your support will of course be immensely useful, but please note that no game is in danger of being cut down: it might take some more time to release each update, but we're still on the job, and very well focused at it! You can support the game on Patreon or make a special donation/support on paypal.me/brunimultimedia if you prefer. Thank you for your time and support! I've being doing this job over the last 5 years thanks to you and no one else! Sincerely, ANDREA, your game developer.

Greetings guys! Today I am announcing you the update of my Patreon page (patreon.com/brunimultimedia) with new rewards, new ways to get in touch with me and support my work. The pandemic hit a huge blow on my business, and personal issues have been harsh as well. But I never gave up and released a few games, with Yomi Alliance being the biggest just after the first General Practitioner (and both are going to receive a new update real soon too!) With General Practitioner 2 I aim to deliver new story contents, new relationships and new gameplay, with improved graphics and patient interactions. To do that I need your help, either by adding the game to the wishlist, buying the early access game or supporting me on my Patreon page. You will receive various rewards based on your tiers, or you could choose to support me just because you like my games and what I'm doing with them. Thank you for your help and support, which is very appreciated. Please share the news so more people can get my games and enjoy them! Wishing you a happy holiday! ANDREA

If you're a fan of the original General Practitioner or just looking for an amazing new simulation game to sink your teeth into, then you're going to love what we have in store for you this month. General Practitioner 2 is coming to Steam's Early Access on April 2022 and it promises to be even better than the first! Early Access will feature three fully featured medical exams, a brand-new relationship system, dozens of HD images, and a complete soundrack. You can also interview and hire your first Nurse, and interact with each of the two brothers separately, choosing every day who you want to play with. Different brothers also mean different encounters and different medical exams to perform, no day is like any other day in GP2! GP2 is sure to keep you entertained for hours on end. Live the life of TWO doctors in this brand-new medical simulated Visual Novel. Andrew and Julie are brothers and MDs and they recently inherited a once-renowned medical clinic from their aunt. Join them in rebuilding the clinic, hiring staff and living their lives. This time there are two of them!
Choose to live each chapter of the main story from Andrew or Julie's point of view. Different paths mean different stories to unfold, people to meet and consequences to play! Make them professional, respected doctors or corrupt them down to a path of money, lust or even crime! While a sibling might be a saint, the other one might be the exact opposite! Who knows where you could get them into! Clinical cases
In the best tradition of the General Practitioner franchise, dozens of clinical cases to explore. Choose the correct way to diagnose an illness with the renewed codex, or do your best to ruin people's lives by giving them a wrong diagnosis. You could also try and get some extra cash by threatening them by exposing some dirty secrets to their family or local police. It's up to you. Medical accuracy
Written with deep research and the help of a real MD, General Practitioner 2 focuses on medical accuracy. Every medical information you will find in the game is consistent with the actual medical knowledge. Please remember this is a game, however, and if you need medical help you should always ask your doctor to help you. New gameplay Hire new staff members and manage the hospital in a new story-based gameplay. No more idle days trying to figure out what to do. The game is a full story and even hiring staff and managing stuff (!) is always story-oriented. No chapter will be like another as you get to know pediatricians, midwives, tech gurus, social media marketers and nurses! Game over IS possible Make the wrong choices and the clinic will be shutted off. You will need to balance your bad habits in a way the Medical Board won't open an investigation against you. And if they will... It's up to you to change their mind. Optional Sexual encounters
You can try to flirt and romance dozens of characters in the game, including coworkers and patients! But beware, not everything is what it looks like! The game won't be rated 18+ on Steam since Vanilla mode will always be active. Vanilla mode is a feature which disables nudity content. You can apply a free patch to overcome this by downloading it on generalpractitionergame.com once the game releases. General Practitioner 2: are you ready to become a doctor again?
Hit the "Add to wishlist" button if you want to support us in this release and share the love!

Greetings fellow doctors. The last few days have seen a new war raging up in Europe, with newsfeeds talking about all the people who are now facing this dark page of human history once more. Also, we don't want to forget every war which is now taking place in so many countries, and the wounds it brings to the civilian population. I am not a politician, nor an expert of international diplomacy, I am just a humble programmer who gets a living from developing videogames to entertain people. I have my opinions about the current scenario, of course, but I doubt they would interest you. What I can do, what everyone can do now, is to think about countless children everywhere who are facing fear, starvation and death, and I decided this is a time like any other to do something about it. That's why 50% of General Practitioner's sales in March, and 100% of the pledges to my Patreon Page https://patreon.com/brunimultimedia for the next month will go to UNICEF to try and ease some of those situations. I'd like to do even more than that, unfortunately Bruni Multimedia is not a big company, and that's what I can afford to do right now. It's just a drop in the ocean, but every drop counts. If you already own the game you can pledge on Patreon, or send a donation here: https://www.paypal.me/brunimultimedia At the end of the month I will send a report of how much has been gathered by this. You can then unsubscribe from Patreon whenever you want, it's easy and with no costs. Thank you to whoever helps on this. ANDREA

• Fixed stats screens and daily report's incorrect behavior after applying 2k update

Greetings fellow doctors! To celebrate Winter Sales I am glad to announce you that GP has been updated with patch 2.1, which is a full, free, remaster of the game in Ultra HD definition.
When I first started to develop this game in 2017 I was using my home computer, which was not a professional device by any means. That meant I had to choose a resolution which would not have hindered my chances to render dozens of images each month, update after update. The game was not aging that well, though, since HD-Ready resolution was starting to get a little strange to look at. That's why I decided to remaster the game at a higher, Ultra HD definition (2k). Of course the game will automatically adapt itself to lower resolutions if your screen doesn't support it.
The images of the game were not re-rendered, of course, as it would've meant redoing the whole game from scratch. However, all have been upscaled using AI technologies which filled the pixel gap in the images. Some of them benefit more than others, especially the older renders, but I believe the overall visual quality of the game improved a lot. A couple images have been rendered from scratch, and I plan to re-render more of them as you report any issue.
There are more than 6000 images in General Practitioner and although I made sure all of them were upscaled (did I mentioned that the sex videos have been upscaled as well? :D), some of them might have slipped my checks. I apologize in advance, please let me know about that issue if you meet any. The work also made me redefine the size and coordinates for each interactable item on the examinations screens, menus, and examination reports. That also means that some number might have slipped as well, so please report them as well. Please do remember I'm working on the game alone, and every test I do I make on my own. Wishing you a merry christmas, now it's the perfect time to buy General Practitioner with the Winter Sales discount! And in Ultra HD!

Greetings fellow doctors! Today I'm announcing you the new patch for General Practitioner, which will fix more issues with the game and introduce a new 2560x1440 max resolution.
The game is more than 4 years old now, and while a Visual Novel doesn't need 2k or 4k graphic to be enjoyable, that is not the reason why GP is just 1280x720 pixel. When I started developing this game back in 2017 I had a very limited hardware and relied on sending the images to render to an external website with a very slow internet connection as well! In time I improved my hardware and started developing games in 1920x1080 which is now the standard resolution I use in Yomi Alliance and other games as well. General Practitioner isn't aging very well in 1280, so I decided to upgrade it a little.
You can see some differences above. The overall look of the game is less grainy and colors are more intense, especially on newer monitors. Some images benefit from that more than others, but the game has been improved throughout.
This doesn't mean I re-rendered all the images in 2k resolution, but it means the older images have been upscaled with an IA to add pixels and preserve the original aspect.
This will also mean that the newest DLCs will get the new resolution right from the start, improving the quality of each release. I am also planning to re-do some of the very old images and those which definitely need some re-doing, but that will come on a later patch. Of course the user interface has been upscaled as well. I hope you'll enjoy the new graphic for the game when 2.1 will be out, ideally in a couple weeks. Stay safe and healthy, and thank you for your support!

Greetings fellow doctors. Since EP has been launched a few hours ago, I met with some vocal disappointment from some of you who are unsure about the pricing of the DLC, which varies over the different countries and it's about 5$ in the U.S. I remember telling you in the past that the DLC was going to be free, like Teaching Medicine was. Well, that was my intention up until June, however as I kept working on this and as I tried as hard as I could to deliver some quality content (even better than TM was), I realized I had to charge something for it, keeping it as low as I could. I won't tell you again the reason for this, as I stated in earlier news about the current situation for the games. I am working primarily on Yomi Alliance right now, and other VNs have been published, and a brand new one will be released around Christmas. Keeping doing my job in these difficult times is tough, as for everybody, and I apologize if my communication about this wasn't very straightforward. Of course, I gain nothing by telling you the DLC is for free and then putting a price tag on it, so it's pretty clear it was just a mistake on my part not announcing a price tag earlier. While I cannot do anything about it, I can only hope you will give EP a chance and play it, as it was made with passion and love for this game. Your support, the players' support, is the only thing that can make me continue in this line of work, and since I am not a big studio but a single dev, it would be quite suicidal on my part to alienate my fan base over 5$. You know I offered you a refund even when Steam didn't allow for it, I kept updating games that are years old, I am still reading through the forums to fix bugs and stuff but, sometimes, I make mistakes as I'm just human. The mistake wasn't putting a price on the DLC, which I think it's worth the price, but more so not telling about it over the past few days, since I was excited to introduce you with the news about the game itself. I hope you will give the Doctor, and the game, a chance. I thought about writing this announcement for some time before publishing it, but I thought I owe you an explanation. That said, I hope you'll enjoy the game. Stay safe and healthy, and thank you for your invaluable feedback, as usual. Andrea

Abdominal exam for patient #5
Oxygen mask application for patient #2
Gay romance option with Sheriff Peter

Expect to find new events with Claudia (or as you called the Doc's relative) and Nurse (now Dr. Lawley!) In the meantime, stay safe and healthy!

Greetings fellow doctors! It's with great pleasure and joy that I'm announcing you the newest, big update and DLC for General Practitioner: Emergency Procedures! The update features a lot of bugfixes and improvements, as well as preparing the game for the DLC itself.

We also provided new music tracks to enjoy during this DLC, to better immerse you in the Doctor's world, and provided new sex scenes to entertain those of you who don't like to play in Vanilla Mode (the game mode without any sexual content. Oh, and did I mention you can choose between new haircuts and looks for the doctor to play from this DLC and now on? Meaning your choices will impact the future releases of the game. However, due to the nature of the game's rendering engine, you can't change the look of the doctor for the main story mode.
I hope you'll like both the update and the DLC. Your support is still, and always will be, the only way I can keep making games for your entertainment. Stay safe, and healthy.

Greetings to all of you out there! As work on Yomi Alliance's newest update continues, today it's with great joy that I'm announcing you the release of my newest full videogame: The Devil's Shoes.

This game will release in its full state now, as all of the 6 initial episodes are available right now for you to enjoy!
In The Devil's Shoes you'll play different, non related episodes featuring... welll... sex! This game is an adult Visual Novel with lots of different endings (all of which is tied to an achievement) and new CGIs to look at. From a masseuse table to a foursome, up to cheating with your dream girl, you will get many opportunities with the game. New episodes will be released as DLCs as well, but the game is already complete as it is, for an enjoyable and replayable experience!
Take on the Devil's shoes, its amazing soundtrack, its funny script and its beautiful characters and fulfill your kinkiest desires. Thank you for following my games, and supporting my work.

• Fixed an issue which prevented achievements to be earned
• Added an option to run the game for 32-bit operative systems

Greetings fellow doctors! General Practitioner hits Summer Sales with an unprecedented discount! It's the perfect time to grab the game as I keep working on the 2nd, free, DLC called "Emergency Procedures", which has been delayed like I stated in earlier news because of personal family issues (I remind you I work alone on my games as I have no staff whatsoever, so whatever hits me automatically hits my games as well). It's also the perfect opportunity to support my future projects by buying the game, subscribing to my Patreon page or simply donate via my personal website www.brunimultimedia.com I am also aware that some users are having difficulties launching the game on Windows 10. Needless to say the game wasn't updated for a while, so there's nothing to indicate why it shouldn't work. However, I set up a patch with the latest Ren'Py updates which is about 78 MB large to try and address the issue. Please report any abnormal behavior, with a crash log, to bugs[at]brunimultimedia.com, and I will support you the best I can. I hope to see you out there, in St. Mary's clinic, in outer space or, soon enough, in Paris. In the meantime, stay safe, and healthy. ANDREA

Solve an ominous murder Dig deep into an ominous murder of a Christian Reverend's son. Apparently the killer took a lot of time to skin him face away. Is it because of a dark ritual? When the FBI comes to investigate in the murder, Sara must be very careful about choosing her next step, or the Institute reputation will be ruined for good!
Meet new characters Introducing fan-favourite Benedetta Borelli from General Practitioner, Sara will meet and interact with many new and different people, while increasing her bond with already known characters as well.
Sara's relationship moves forward The struggle inside Sara's heart between Thomas and Gabriel goes on in this episode. Who will Sara eventually choose?
Please remember that owners of the "Season 1" DLC won't need to buy this DLC, their game will be automatically updated to include the new content! Thank you for following me and my games, I hope you will have lots of fun with this one!

Greetings guys! Today I'm announcing the next upcoming game, an Otome Visual Novel set in Paris! I am quite fond of this little project, as it tries to bring something new as well as the other games of my small studio, even if this is the most "classic" Visual Novel to date (and the first not "Adult only" in my catalog, in a way similar to The Coroner Saga (which episode IV is set to be released at more or less the same time!) The main features for "Hotel Paris" which will have you take the shoes of Elizabeth, discovering her story and choosing her romantic interests, are the following:

• A brand-new, 30k word long Otome Visual Novel
• Choose between 3 different romantic interests, or pursue your happiness on your own
• 4 different endings
• Full French Localization
• Choose between Realistic and Anime-like graphic for the characters. You can switch graphic mode with a single button click anytime!
• Original Soundtrack of 10 tracks!
• 2560x1440 HD graphic with more than 200 images

• Updated the game to the latest release of the Ren'Py Engine. This should fix some issues when starting the game and with Steam's achievements missing. However, I will need some feedback about this (see today's news).

Greetings guys! First of all, thank you for your constant feedback about General Practioner and its issues. I am aware someone believes I abandoned the game, but that is NOT the case. However, I remind you that I'm working on this project on my own, and that there is no studio supporting my work as it relies on players only. That said, I'm receiving reports I'm going to address, so you know what's going on right now. GAME NOT STARTING Some of you complied about the game not starting overnight. I already tried to start the game from Steam myself, and it works fine. It looks like some configurations have had issues when starting the game, and I'm working on understanding what's going on. You understand that with NO ERROR REPORTS nor every available computer, it is going to take some time for me to understand the issue, which only affects a very rare minority of people, as right now some hundreds of you are playing it (if it was an issue with the game I would have 100% refunds AND 0 people playing, which is not happening). THE GAME ENGINE As many Visual Novels, General Practitioner is written in Ren'Py, which has been recently updated to its latest patch. This might have caused some issues, which caused me to revert to the previous GP's patch. While I apologize for the issue this caused to some of you, I cannot speed up the process of releasing a patch for the engine, as I'm not its proprietor. I am going to recompile it once more and release a small fix for both GP and Yomi Alliance, and I WILL NEED YOUR REPORTS to know if it's fixing the problem (with achievements as well). Steam also changed its integrated library recently. As usual, you do understand this huge game has been made by myself only, so I rely on the documentation from both Steam and Ren'Py to make it work. It's entirely in my skills, but it will take some time. MISSING FILES Every time you check for the file integrity you get 100+ files "missing" or needed to be redownloaded. THIS IS WORKING AS INTENDED because of the game's engine, as it writes temporary files every time the game is launched, which of course then differs from the ones in Steam's main repository. This doesn't cause ANY issue with the game, it's not a bug, nor it affects anything, and doesn't mean the game is broken in any way. When you leave a negative review about it, remind that you are basically telling people my game's bad because of some temporary files. You are free to check that the same happens with every ren'py-based Visual Novel out there. COVID IN ITALY The current situation with COVID-19 restrictions in italy severely impacts on my family, thus making it harder to to everything in time. I had to reschedule my next game's launch, a couple patches with Yomi Alliance and voice actors, the creation of my Patreon page AND General Practitioner's next FREE update. I apologize for this, I truly do, but I don't know how to make it better, since it's not my choice to lock us away like they're doing. This also hugely impacted my earnings, as well as many people out there. My studio is VERY small (myself only) but I feed my family with it, and of course the budget for my next games (a new Unity-based engine, CGI, interactions) was impacted as well. I was going to launch a kickstarter for my newest projects, but that's out of the question now, since everyone is having a hard time because of the pandemic. DELAYS AND REFUNDS I apologize for any delay in my projects. And I would understand if you like a refund for the game. You can always contact me in my email development[at]brunimultimedia.com, if you disliked the game A LOT, leaving a negative review even after 100+ hours and Steam won't refund it, contact me and I'll send you money via Paypal. I started this job to entertain people and form a nice community around my games, not to fool them or take their money without giving anything in return. Even if you liked my game but still want a refund, be my guest. Really.

Greetings fellow doctors! Update 1.13.2 is out, and it fixes the "virus" false positive issue encountered earlier.
Virustotal.com confirmed that there are no issues with the new game files whatsoever, so it's perfectly safe for everyone to enjoy (it was even before, but for some reasons some antivirus software assumed it wasn't.) Those of you who opted in for the beta branch should opt-out in order for the update to work properly. Thank you all for your support! I wish you to stay safe and healthy, always!

Greetings guys. Since the latest release of the game had a "False Positive" coming up on many antiviruses, and people are writing negative reviews for something I really cannot control (why aren't the antivirus software getting any bad reviews when they actually fail to do a good job, I wonder), I decided to revert the game back to 1.12 patch. Allow me to say this has been a very difficult decision for me, because the game was improving patch after patch, and for some reason the antivirus of so many people decided to go nuts. I am putting some of the most asked questions down below, please read them through BEFORE posting "bug reports" or, even worse, negative feedback. STEAM "REPAIR TOOL" File detection by Steam update works fine. The "missing" files are created by Ren'Py (the game's engine) and are temporary files which won't affect game's usability. It's completely normal if you get a few hundred files missing, this doesn't mean the game's broken in any way. CURRENT PATCH I just reverted to 1.12 patch since 1.13 was having a "virus issue". The "virus" detected was (and is) a false positive. Of course Steam wouldn't allow for a malware to be present in any of its games' builds. To think I put a malware in my top selling game is senseless. I just reversed the patch to a prior state, so hopefullly you will be able to play the game now. WHAT IF I WANT TO PLAY WITH 1.13? Most of you had no issue with the latest patch, and would like to play the game to its most recent state. You can do so by opting in for 1.13 Beta in the "Beta" tab for Steam. Please remember the "CURRENT PATCH" section of this news, as some of you might experience the "virus" issue. WHEN WILL BE THE UPDATE BACK? As soon as either ren'py gets updated to avoid the issue OR the antiviruse software stops signaling for a false positive. Unfortunately there's no way I can speed up the process. I apologize for any discomfort this might cause.

Greetings guys! I received some seldom reports about antivirus software detecting an anomaly whilst downloading or launching General Practitioner. Of course nothing shows up on my antivirus and I'm checking against this kind of behavior. For those of you who have issues updating the game I recommend you to uninstall and reinstall it from Steam. Please report any further issues. I recently updated Ren'Py (the game engine) to its latest release but I don't think that causes the problem. Still, I will investigate on it nevertheless. If things don't improve and I still get reports of crashes I will revert the game to 1.12 while I investigate the matter fully. Thank you for your help!

Greetings to all players and community! This has been an unique year. And I sincerely hope it stays that way. Many of my projects have suffered a serious delay, both for personal family issues which I already told you about in the last few months and that are far from being over, and for economical reasons, of course. The plan to launch a brand-new Kickstarter campaign in November was halted, as the world and people are still struggling with the pandemic and its effects on our lives. Development for my games hasn't stopped a bit, but it was delayed as I had to take care of my children and family, especially while schools were closed and they had to stay home. I managed to release many updates and new stories, and in the next few months more will come with a new Otome Visual Novel, new chapters for The Devil's Shoes, improvements on Yomi Alliance, the 2nd free DLC for General Practitioner and two new episodes of The Coroner Saga, which are already written and only need some polish. New rewards are also available for Patrons on my Patreon page, and they will keep getting released over and over. I think that would be the best way to thank you for your support, despite my setbacks which are not due to my will but which I apologize for, regardless. Developing a videogame, even a Visual Novel, is a very costly effort, and you only see results months after you spend those money. For a single-man company like mine this is more than a challenge at times, and that's why I completely rely on your support and your appreciation of my work to keep doing what I do: develop games to entertain you in the best of times, and in the worst of times. So, thank you for your support, past, present and future. Without you, there won't be any Bruni Multimedia to talk about and no videogames at all from me. I hope you can live a happier year, we're going through this together, as the Doctor told during the "Coronavirus Exam" released last February (my, it's already a full year!). Happy new year to everyone. Keep following me, because there will be tons of news coming up in the next few days Stay safe, and healthy!

Greetings guys! Today I'm glad to announce you the next actor which will lend his voice to a character in Yomi Alliance. I'm talking about the amazing Yoshi Vu and his character, Dr. Li.
Yoshi Vu was born and raised in Texas, where he was always artistically inclined, having won the Scholastic Art Award in the 7th grade and continued experimenting in different mediums before moving to California for High School and joining the United States Marine Corps. Yoshi then started attending art school while still serving in the military, eventually earning his first major industry contract with Pixomondo, working on Journey 2, and assisting with Green Lantern.
He has since continued his career in film, branching out to games as well, having the opportunity to work on Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 at Treyarch before moving to television with The Walking Dead, The Orville, and several other shows before making his way back to film, where he served as a Senior Generalist on Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and the first season of The Mandalorian. In addition to work as an artist, Yoshi has also participated in various projects as an actor, stunt performer, or even a voice acting. He works closely with his friend Manu Intiraymi, another Yomi Alliance cast member, and the two have been in various projects together, both in front of the camera or behind the scenes.

GENERAL PRACTITIONER 1.9.1 RELEASE This update prepares the game's story for the upcoming DLC "Emergency Procedures", which will be available in a few weeks and it's currently in development. Thank you for your support on this game! GENERAL:

• New exam available: Brian (ID Code 4522015378).

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...
  

Greetings! Starting today and for a whole week General Practitioner is available with a 15% discount! The game will receive new medical exams and a brand new DLC in a few weeks, adding hours of content for free! It's the right time for those of you who haven't played it yet to grab this game which is still being updated regularly!

Did you know we have a Patreon page? Back in 2017 everything started there: General Practitioner was just an idea, a bold project for an expert software developer who still had no experience in videogame developer until then. Patreon is where I put myself to the challenge of developing something worth playing, funny and interesting with a bit of educational purpose and a spicy sexy story to deal with.
Today I want to introduce you my updated, fully overhauled, Patreon page https://patreon.com/brunimultimedia Many of you will surely ask why they should give me more money after they already paid for the full game on digital delivery platforms. That's a proper question, and I'm going to tell you that no in-game content will be cut from the Steam release to be available on Patreon only. I worked a lot to find rewards you won't find anywhere else, and I promise you that you won't find in-game content in such rewards. Still, crowdfunding is the only way true indie developers can survive and keep doing what they do: creating new game experience for you to enjoy.
If you join our Patreon page you will receive many rewards!

• Have you ever considered becoming a Visual Novel developer? Follow my lessons to start working in Ren'Py as I do

An update is available for General Practitioner

• Fixed an issue in Visual Novel mode which prompted into story mode after Elisa's conversation during the "Trip to Seattle" chapter.

Greetings fellow doctors! It's with great pleasure that I'm announcing you update 1.8.1 of General Practitioner. It adds many interesting stuff for the game, fixes some nasty persistent bugs and also introduces you new characters and a brand new medical exam! VISUAL NOVEL MODE You can now start a new game in Visual Novel Mode, meaning you will play the story without medical examinations, moving from one chapter to the next one and choosing who to pursue as a romantic interest.
Visual Novel mode is more than just a re-cut of content: the whole game has been revisited and improved, conversations have been added, the overall pacing of the story has increased and fixes have been applied. We made every effort to give players who already tried the game once to experiment more paths in a simpler way. Whenever a "RED" dialogue option appears, it means that's a "Path Point", meaning you will choose the romantic partner with that dialogue and that choice will accompany you through the rest of the game. You cannot change the romantic path once started (the "Story Mode" will keep allowing you to do so, this is limited to Visual Novel mode only).
NEW RITA, NON-NTR STORY As promised some time ago, Rita's NTR path has been made optional by a setting in the Preferences Screen. You can now live your romantic relationship with her without worrying too much about other guys having an affair with her. Dialogues with Rita have changed, a new ending has been added as well as two different events and sexual situations. Explore the new path in both Story and Visual Novel mode! NEW MEDICAL EXAMINATION: KAVITHA As a reward for pledging on our patreon page, you can write down and ask for a medical exam to be introduced in the game. Kavitha is such a reward and you can enjoy her medical examination helped by a medical student named Jamal.
Follow Kavitha's story and enjoy this fresh, sexy content in both Exam Mode and Story Mode! A lot of improvements have been made throughout the game. I hope you'll enjoy them. The game is constantly being updated with new content, for free. PRICE INCREASE FOR THE GAME As the game gets more and more content it is planned to increase its price a little. The price stayed this way since Alpha release 0.0.18 but it also received many big updates, and more are coming. Those of you who already own the game should worry not, as they will receive every update for free. For the others I suggest you to grab a copy during the upcoming summer sales, as the game will receive a nice discount! The new price for the game will be 19,99$ (and regional equivalents) starting from after the Summer Sales. Of course this doesn't apply to current owners of the game. Thanks a lot for your understanding! Please check the full changelog below for further info! Thank you so much for your support! Be safe and healthy! GENERAL PRACTITIONER 1.8.1 RELEASE GENERAL:

• Added an option to turn off NTR Content with Rita when starting a new game in both Visual Novel and Story Mode. You cannot change that option once the game's started.
• Fixed an issue which prevented, in some cases, to play the "Physician, Heal Thyself" doctor's own examination by his relative. The issue occurred if you didn't hire all available physicians. This examination is not available in Visual Novel mode.

Greetings fellow doctors! A few days ago I realized that General Practitioner is 3 years old! Barely a couple months older than my firstborn son! And I was almost missing the rightful celebrations the game deserved! GP made my debut into professional videogame development, it's a project I hold very dear for many reasons, and it's been a huge success since it's first Early Access release on October 2018. Celebrating the game has been difficult this year because of my work on more fronts: Yomi Alliance, Episode 3 of The Coroner Saga and the upcoming Steam Summer Sales kept me busy a lot. Add to this my work to include new rewards for Patrons and the Covid-19 pandemic which slowed my project A LOT, hurting it on the financial side as well, and you get the idea.
Still, today I'm announcing you the second, upcoming DLC for the game: Emergency Procedures, coming on Steam this Summer for every owner of the base game. Take difficult decisions in this brand-new, major content for General Practitioner which continues the story of the doctor. Two years after the events in "General Practitioner" main game and DLC, The Doctor's fame kept growing. Finally he was chosen to lead the Emergency Department in Seattle's Hospital. Here you will meet new people, befriend or annoy some of them is up to you! And when your romance partner from the first game unexpectedly appears things will become even more difficult!
Features:

• 35 Emergency Room cases to enjoy (yes, thirty-five!)
• 2 difficulty levels: Student or Doctor for the maximum challenge with no on-screen help available
• A new romance option for the doctor
• 6 new music tracks
• 1920x1080 Full HD Resolution for the first time in General Practitioner
• New sex scenes
• New Medical tools and equipment to use
• Choose the look of the doctor with 3 different new haircuts

Greetings guys! Today I'm announcing you a feature that many of you requested both here and on Patreon's forums: the Visual Novel Mode!
Adding to the already existing "Story Mode" and "Examination Mode", this gameplay option will have you play the game without the simulation part. This means that story events will flow one after another, taking each branch of the story as a consequence of your decisions. You can play the game once more after you finished it, or start a new game skipping each and every examination. Don't bother about patients, money, hiring people, go to gym and various activities, just enjoy the story and play it again more times to experiment newer paths. In Visual Novel mode you won't be able to earn achievements on the Steam release, nor will you be able to have more than one romantic interest at a given time, meaning that romance choices will stay active until the end of the game. Whenever you're making a choice that will be permanent it will be highlighted in purple.
Visual Novel mode is more than just a copy-paste of content. Conversations have been revisited to fit the new story flow and even dating your romantic interest has been included with new dialogues and images. You will be able to play "Visual Novel" mode with patch 1.8. Keep following me for more updates about the release date! Stay safe and healthy,

Greetings fellow doctors! Steam Support informed me about an issue with the Original Soundtrack for the game. I apologize for any discomfort this might have caused, but I was not aware of the problem until it was reported to me by Steam. Those of you who bought the Original Soundtrack, amazingly composed by Ann Sharova, were apparently unable to download it both manually and automatically. That has been fixed and you can now download the OST once more.
Thank you for your support of the game! Stay safe and healthy,

Today I have a big announcement for you, fellow space officers, as Hollywood Actor, Writer and Producer Manu Intiraymi (Star Trek Voyager, One Tree Hill) joins the cast of Yomi Alliance! Since his time playing the former Borg drone Icheb during the last two seasons ofStar Trek: Voyager, Manu Intiraymi has stayed active with acting roles, but in the last few years he has also turned to producing.

His last three projects as an actor/producer Benjamin Troubles, 5th Passenger, and Hell On The Border have been international hits, and his newest project thecircuitfilm.com for which he is currently seeking finishing financing will prove to be his biggest film to date and his directorial debut. Now we're proud to announce that Manu will join the cast of Yomi Alliance to play the role of Vessel Lieutenant Mkrell, the harsh but handsome Nixanti trainer who's already becoming a fan-favourite character!
Join us in greeting Manu into our family! Thank you for your support for this project, you're helping us making this game truly great!

A new update for General Practitioner is available to download. Thank you for your continued support over this game. While working on Yomi Alliance AND The Coroner Saga, this is still my first love as it is my first game, the one who made it possible to develop the others, and as you can see I will keep adding fixes and new options to it (a couple brand new naughty medical exams are coming very soon as well!)

• Erika's "good ending" has been rewritten and fixed. If you had a relationship with her and earn enough points a new scene will unlock with her at the end of the game
• Achieving the "good ending" with Claudia has been made slightly easier by lowering the amount of points needed for it. All the other conditions still apply (i.e. choosing her as you romance interest).
• Added a dialogue option to dismiss Lacey Greene after her second examination when she comes to the clinic. She will be assigned to another doctor, leaving your care for good.
• Benedetta Borelli is now correctly referred to as "Psychiatrist" instead of "Psychologist".
• Fixed an issue where, in some cases, you could have repeated the same examination more than once

I am well aware days are very long and boring as of lately, and the best thing we can do is stay at home and protect our loved ones. Those of us who can still keep working shall do so to relieve others of this burden the best they can. In order to reach more people who still don't have the game I am announcing a 7-day 30% discount on General Practitioner, starting right now. It is the highest discount I ever made for this game, and I hope you can have many many hours of fun with it (some players have more than 100 hours on this game, which I think is amazing!) All my games have been also included in a bundle with a 10% discount for the whole package as well! Thank you for your continued support, I hope you always stay safe and healthy!

An update for General Practitioner is available to download!

• It is now possible to change names for the Doctor, Claudia and her daughter any time during the game. To do that you'll need to select the phone then click on the "Modify Names" icon there.
• It is now possible to customize a save name. Every time you'll save the game you can add a custom text which will be shown under the game's date. If you hit the "ESC" button the last sentence you read will be written instead.

When The Devil himself approaches you with an opportunity you cannot refuse a journey into your most perverse fetishes starts!
Releasing today on itch.io and as a gift for all our Patreon pledgers, this small game will entertain you in these heavy days stuck at home.

• Play "The Massage", an erotic story featuring an experience with a very close girl
• 18 (eighteen) different endings to unlock
• 1-2 hours of gameplay to unlock every ending
• More stories are going to be added in the coming weeks
• Customize your name and the name of the girls
• "The Massage" features a M/F relationship, other stories will feature F/F, M/M, M/F/F and Solo
• Grab the game now and make sure you won't pay more money for the other stories!

A few hours earlier than announced I decided to release the first official DLC on Steam... As with all story-related DLCs this one will be completely free, so you can grab it immediately and play it. These are difficult times for all, and videogames surely help people to detach their minds from troubles and concerns, something that we should all do, especially now. I hope General Practitioner could help you to achieve this important goal, with its many hours of gameplay and a fun, simulated approach to a (Casanova) GP's life.
Have fun with Dr. Poulsen's daughters Annette and Ada, find out what they feel and what they can do and help them through the path towards Med School Admission. Thank you for your continuing support! Be safe and healthy,

Hello everyone! It's very strange to write this stuff, but I think you deserve to know the behind-the-scenes of the current situation in Italy, the place where I live and work. The lockdown announced by the government fortunately doesn't include my job, so I can keep developing all my games (as you can see by the updates I published yesterday and the day before). However, it would be false to state that it doesn't affect my production at all. The streets are empty as they are on holiday weeks, right now I can still access my office but I don't know for how long (I can still work from home, but it would be VERY difficult), plus I'm overall concerned for my family and kids, and writing videogames with that kind of mental stress is sometimes difficult. But I'm trying to do my best, as I always did. And I just hope the situation won't be worse than this in the future. Plus, with most services out of order and the invitation to go out by oneself and without other family members, I have to take care of many things personally, which is something that takes time and it's a time I can't work at all (buying groceries, bills, managing bank accounts, buying medicines and playing with my kids since the schools are closed). So, some updates of the game could be delivered with a delay in the near future. I am VERY sorry about this and believe me I'm doing the best I can to ensure you'll receive everything smoothly as I always did in the last three years (BTW, the 3-year anniversary for General Practitioner is coming on May and there will be surprises for everyone!) That's it. I just wanted you to know the current situation and why I'm more silent than ever on social media channels: right now all my energies are focused on developing stories, not talking about them. Thank you for your support. I hope this situation will defuse soon and without long-lasting consequences. BTW for those of you who still don't know I published a "Coronavirus Update" on General Practitioner a while ago. It's not meant to inform people about the situation, it's just meant to smile and be a "doctor Casanova" despite everything :) Be safe and healthy, now more than ever! ANDREA BRUNI

Greetings fellow doctors! Today I'm introducing you a couple preview images of Teaching Medicine, the first DLC for General Practitioner which is going to be delivered on March 21st.
Featuring hours of new gameplay, dialogues and situations, Teaching Medicine will have you face two very different sisters, with very different mindsets. Still, they share the same passion for medicine and they're going to study it... with your help!
Test your skills in the brand-new strip test event, or take them downtown to chill out before their admission test, or share your concerns about their own health with them. But beware: their father and your coworker, fellow physician Max Poulsen, might dislike your training methods. I'll leave you with a few images, please tell me your opinions about this DLC, which I remind you will be completely FREE to whoever owns the base game. Thank you for your support. Be safe and healthy,

Yomi Alliance is about to hit the shelves of Steam's Early Access in a few days, on February 10, as scheduled. While the game is in its very first steps of development - the current release version is 0.0.3 - it already goes with a lot of content, mostly story-related, with the first differences between professions and species that will come out while playing.
The final release is scheduled in 2021. Game features will be added month after month and the released game already has different paths to explore. Still, the full potential of the game will be unleashed in a matter of months. Supporting the Early Access game will allow me to keep producing more exciting content for you, as of course my studio is very (very) small and developing a videogame certainly costs a lot. That's why Early Accesses are released, and that's why supporting them helps all developers - but especially indie ones - a lot.
What is the current state of the Early Access version?

• Command School Training is complete
• Science School Training is complete
• Each training lasts 20 weeks (in-game time)
• Lectures at the Academy with skills improvement
• About 10 hours of gameplay including different paths to explore for each career
• Steam Achievements
• Different Serena Conversations in her quarters
• Soundtrack fully implemented and working
• Animations, where present, are fully implemented
• Working animate multitask console to access Academy's systems
• User interface is 75% complete
• Administration classes
• Athletics classes with challenges
• Computer Use classes
• Armed Combat classes with simulated fights against different enemies
• Inquire classes with sub-plot
• Negotiate classes with sub-plot
• Persuasion classes
• Psychology classes for Counselor Career
• 10 different conversations with Serena
• 4 different dates with Serena with sex animations
• Each profession unlocked (classes for each skill are still under development)
• 10 different "Academy Storyline" events
• 1215 static Full-HD images, 7 FULL-HD animations
• 18 different upbringings to customize your character and starting skills

Greetings fellow doctors! An update of General Practitioner is on its way to your devices! It fixes some bugs you reported and also introduces a new patient with a brand-new examination, codex entry and Steam Achievement as well!
As you're undoubtedly aware there is currently a worldwide situation with the new 2019-nCoV "Coronavirus", which is causing serious concerns on the general population. I wanted our good Casanova Doctor to deal with the virus, so I'm introducing you Hann Mei, a Chinese social worker who goes to the clinic with flu-like symptoms for you to check out.
Medical authorities are trying to calm everyone down and don't cause panic, and I strongly believe that's the case. The Doctor is going to deal with his usual humor with the situation, but I won't spoiler you anything because I want you to play the exam and enjoy it! For those who don't play "Vanilla" there's also a brand-new sex scene to unlock, but that's a secret you don't have to share :D
I hope you'll enjoy this update, it's my way to defuse the situation and play with it a little ;)

Greetings fellow doctors! It is with great pleasure that I'm announcing you the first DLC for General Practitioner: Teaching Medicine. And the first good news is that this new, optional, content for the game will be released absolutely for FREE to each of you who own a copy of the base game.
Teaching Medicine will have you take the role of Dr. Jones once more to deal with Dr. Poulsen's two daughters, Ada and Annette. The two girls are studying medicine at the local college and your coworker asked you if you could teach them to become good doctors.
You will have to deal with the two girl's characters, their insecurities, their attitude and their lack of knowledge about many subjects, all of which threatens to hinder their medical career before it even starts. But you are the Casanova doctor, aren't you? And will you be able to resist their charm when they'll try to earn "favors" to increase their college's grades thanks to your friends in the Medical Board? Features:

• 4-5 hours of brand-new, playable story
• 2 new medical examinations
• A new romance option for the doctor
• 2 new music tracks
• A lot of new images
• New sex scenes
• New teaching mechanic: strip learning!

An update for General Practitioner is available for download! Bug fixing

• Fixed an issue which prevented the on-screen tooltip of item's descriptions to disappear. Loading a game will solve the issue automatically.
• Fixed an issue which prevented the "Shut-down phone" tooltip to disappear. If loading a game won't solve the issue automatically you can use your phone, mouse over any icon, then shut it off to fix the issue.
• Fixed a crashing issue occurring during "Family time" chapter
• Fixed an issue which prevented new game+ to correctly state Claudia's relationship with the player. Older saved games will assume she's a sister to the player. New games will ask the player to choose (therefore you can change her relationship when starting a new game+)

An update for General Practitioner is available for download! Bug fixing

• Clicking anywhere when displaying a dialogue during online shopping won't result in accidental selections anymore
• Fixed an issue which made the game refer to male children as "girl"
• Fixed a missing image during Aaron's Three's a Crowd conversation
• Winning the most difficult challenge against Koola in the gym will now grant you 1000$ as intended (from 100)
• Fixed a crashing issue during Dwayne's examination
• Fixed an inconsistency with a dialogue line from "Living Together" chapter if you didn't invite Claudia to the Festival
• Fixed an inconsistent line of dialogue regarding a promise you made to Claudia if you never made it in the first place
• Fixed inconsistencies during Medical Board's advice on Kamil's first examination
• Fixed an issue which caused Alexandra's abdominal exam to be unavailable before undressing her completely
• Fixed a calendar issue which caused the calendar to calculate the wrong day in January
• Fixed an issue which caused an incorrect timeframe after Trip to Japan and Trip to Canada
• A number of graphical glitches have been fixed
• Removed a redundant, incorrect diagnosis in Elliott's exam
• Fixed an image inconsistency during Joy's Festival (Erika's path) by adding two different images
• Fixed a wrong prescription text in Josh's 2nd exam
• Fixed an issue which prevented to examine Kelli's legs in her exam
• A rare issue involving achievements is currently under investigation. I reset all the "persistent" entries trying to fix this one, but I cannot grant previously-earned achievements that were affected by the issue. It looks like the issue affects players who played the Alpha release more than others. You can try to manually reset the achievements by deleting the "persistent" file in your "save" folder. Please note that doing this will also reset your ending (meaning the "New Game+" option will be locked again) and any customized setting (i.e. fullscreen, skip options, vanilla mode etc.)
• It was reported that, in very rare cases, saved games could behave erratically after applying this patch (i.e. right-clicking, hitting ESC not working properly). I made a fix to try to overcome this issue, even though the error appears so randomly that it's almost impossible to understand its origin. Still, new games are not affected by it and you should be able to play the game by loading it without problems. To achieve that I had to reset any customized setting (i.e. fullscreen, skip options, vanilla mode etc.), sorry for any discomfort this might cause. In case you are still affected by the issue just try and reload an earlier saved game. The problem has been reported to disappear just like it appeared. Checking the game's integrity with the Steam's client is also recommended in case of any trouble.
• Claudia will no longer be seen sleeping with the Doctor after she moves to Germany
• Fixed inconsistencies with Erika's advice during some random examinations
• Fixed an issue with Vanessa/Aaron not recognizing you got a car when you have
• Fixed Newscaster stating the security guard was being shot even though she wasn't during Conrad's exam
• After beating Mr. Xuan in Tang Soo Do you will no longer run errands for him nor training with Kiko when starting a new day

• A new medical examination music has been added to random patients
• The waiting room will now open on May 5th, regardless of the patients you already examined
• Rita's, Kiko's and Julius' exams are no longer skippable as they are mandatory for the game's consistency. You will automatically go to the clinic when it's time to examine them.
• End credits will now take the player to the Main Menu instead of quitting the game
• Mr. Ellis' name is no longer case-sensitive when you have to type it to recognize him
• The Interactive phone has been restored from earlier alpha builds.
• You can now click on the "Stairs" icon to exit the clinic without making any clinic-related choice or have to hit the return button
• New Game+ has been introduced in the game. To unlock it you will need to finish the game at least once (up to the point where end credits are shown) and to Start a new game. The game will then ask you if you wish to start from scratch or from a New game plus. New Game+ retains your money, medical items bought, relationship levels with every potential romance (except Christina) and skills. It will also unlock the Waiting Room right from the beginning. It will NOT include people you met in the game nor already performed exams and events. Other events (pool subscription, gym subscription, Norah's meeting) are not unlocked.
• An option to choose which chapter to play has been added to the game. You can go to the Church to "Meditate on your life" and choose a specific chapter to jump to, even previously played ones. Please be aware that skipping makes the game to assume certain choices have been made by default. As the in-game calendar isn't updated (that's because events can play in different days depending on choices), it also advances events ahead of time, so you could end up playing the "Christmas Dinner" event in June for example. I recommend you to use it after you finished the game at least once. Also, many events that depend on your romance paths (i.e. Elisa's whole pregnancy story) are not available to skip upon, since not setting the proper variables would cause the game to behave erratically. Ultimately, this feature is not the proper way to play the game and it could lead to unexpected behavior.
• Added the "Experienced Doctor" achievement unlockable by starting a New Game Plus

It's almost 3 AM and I just finished wrapping up the latest bug fixes for release 1.3, and there are many fixes you'll find "minor" but are somewhat important to the overall experience of the game. A few days ago I released 1.3 but had to remove it almost immediately because of some issues it was giving to some players. We're talking about 10 people out of a few hundred, so the numbers are very few, nevertheless I put on a Beta branch and I'm still trying to figure out what caused the issue in the first place. It was reported that, in very rare cases, saved games could behave erratically after applying this patch (i.e. right-clicking, hitting ESC not working properly). I made a fix to try to overcome this issue, even though the error appears so randomly that it's almost impossible to understand its origin. Still, new games are not affected by it and you should be able to play the game by loading it without problems. To achieve that I had to reset any customized setting (i.e. fullscreen, skip options, vanilla mode etc.) upon loading a game saved before 1.3, sorry for any discomfort this might cause. In case you are still affected by the issue after I release the patch:

• just try and reload an earlier saved game. The problem has been reported to disappear just like it appeared.
• Checking the game's integrity with the Steam's client is also recommended in case of any trouble.

Greetings fellow officers! Today I'm going to introduce you on the different ways to acquire skills in Yomi Alliance, which is hopefully a fun, non-grinding way to achieve your objectives and increase your character's stats. Like some of you already played in the demo, each week you are going to schedule your activities, choosing to pursue your social interests, your training and/or attending classes.
Attending classes will raise your stats from the starting point up to 13 points. While some classes are automatic (you increase your points without any other interaction), many others will feature an in-game event as well. Let's take three skills for example: Psychology training for Counselor career and Inquire training for Security Officers and finally Diplomacy for the Command School candidate. As for Psychology your teacher, Counselor Lapp, will ask you questions about simulated patients. You will need to listen to her question carefully, and also deal with patients who are going to tell you about their problems and try the best way to solve them.
You will increase your Stats while also playing the role you chose when starting the game. Inquire is a little different. While it plays the same dialogue-choice-consequence pattern, you will be tasked with a real interview of an alien volounteer with his own mini-storyline taking place. Your choices won't just grant you skill points but will develop a shady sub-plot which will finally unveil in the last class session.
Even Diplomacy aims to bring you a different point of view. This time you will take the role of a famous Fuminoid Captain of the past in a Virtual Reality environment and you will be tasked to negotiate peace within two warring factions. Your choices could bring more chaos into their society or end up with a long-lasting peace treaty and Alliance application.
Your character will learn the best way to handle first contact with an alien species directly on the field. You can expect varied stories and gameplay for many different skills as each update is released. The first Early Access update features dozens of events, social time with Serena, a couple sex scenes, an academy storyline with many events and so on. The whole point of different career paths is to get you something different each time you play Yomi Alliance. Psychology classes, for example, are just for the "Counseling" career and related professions, so you might not play any of them on your first playthrough. As you will start a new game and choose new paths, species and background you will unlock more and more events, many of which you never saw before! Of course the game will get more content update after update, but there's enough stuff to keep you entertained for many hours right away. Yomi Alliance will hit Steam's Early Access on February 10th, 2020! Wishlist it today and keep following us! Thank you for your support! Be safe and healthy,

An update for General Practitioner is available for download as a Beta Branch. WARNING: Beta Branch is for testing the latest update only. Make a copy of your save games as they might become corrupted if playing with a Beta release patch. If you wish to participate in the open beta, you can find this version in the public_beta branch on Steam. The way to access it is as follows: Steam client LIBRARY right-click on General Practitioner Properties Betas tab 1_3_Beta. No password is required. Please report any issue with this release.

• Added the "Experienced Doctor" achievement unlockable by starting a New Game Plus

Greetings fellow doctors! General Practitioner launch was a huge success for the game, I really didn't expect so many people would've played the game and for a very small software house like mine (I'm basically developing the whole game by myself) it's a very exciting surprise! Of course, releasing the game also brought some issues, as the many months of alpha and beta testing were apparently not enough to cancel every bug from the game. Still, the game is very big and with lots of branches and choices and it took me some time to find and fix everything. This is NOT an excuse but a sincere explanation of what happened in the first few days. I apologize for any discomfort you might have experienced while playing the game. I already released a number of fixes which took care of the most annoying bugs (the first one on the very first day of release) and reports of annoyed players dropped a lot. I am also listening to your feedback of course, because like I promised General Practitioner is not being abandoned after release, on the contrary you can expect a lot of free patches and DLCs in the future. With the upcoming 1.3 patch I'm going to release in a few hours more bugs will be solved. Not only that: I'm also introducing two new functions to the game: New Game Plus To unlock this feature you will need to finish the game at least once (up to the point where end credits are shown) and start a new game. A menu prompt will then ask you if you wish to start from scratch or from a New game plus.
New Game+ retains the following informations for your new game:

• Money
• Medical Items owned
• Relationship Levels with Romance partners (except Christina)
• Skills
• Waiting Room unlocks

An update for General Practitioner is available for download!

• Fixed a crashing issue during Aria's examination

Greetings fellow doctors! It's with pride and joy that I'm announcing the final release date for General Practitioner, which will leave Early Access on December 13th, 2019, after 30 months of development! It has been a fantastic journey so far, and it's far from over, as I'm already planning future content for the game, some of it completely for free! The game will be updated for a long time, so keep following it for the time being! I want to thank everyone for supporting the game in Early Access, and people who supported development on Patreon as well. Patreon page is still active of course to support both The Coroner Saga AND Yomi Alliance, our newest big project which will be available on Steam next January in Early Access. I hope you'll enjoy the game and its latest additions, the changelog will be posted in a couple days and it's full of interesting news! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Truly. Be safe and healthy, ANDREA BRUNI - Lead Developer

Greetings fellow doctors! Kickstarter for Yomi Alliance is LIVE and will be up for the next 30 days! I am very excited about this game, because its scope and size will be even bigger than General Practitioner, which is already a 60-hours long Visual Novel. Being an indie developer means I completely rely on crowdfunding and Early Access support for my games, and in exchange for that I always strive and do my best to bring you entertaining videogames which are not only fun, but also different from what you can find around the industry. It's a bold project, the one I started two years and half ago with GP, and now I'm moving on with my third game, and that's THANKS TO YOU! A demo is available on the Kickstarter's page, and a Steam one will be added in a matter of days (Steam is reviewing the software right now), but the contents for the two demos are the same and include a 1-2 hours of content from various parts of the game. I hope you will enjoy Yomi Alliance and all the games I'm going to publish in the near future! Remember that many crowdfunding tiers also come with a digital copy of the game, so what are you waiting for? You only have 30 days to support development! Link to the kickstarter page can be found here! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Greetings fellow doctors! I launched a new website for General Practitioner today. You can visit it on www.generalpractitionergame.com. The new interface for the website is one of a classic medical clinic, where staff members are introduced, appointments can be taken (our new contact form to write me a feedback or anything you wish), a new "Download" page where you can find all our products and so on. As General Practitioner is approaching its final release, I thought it was time to upgrade the old website which was efficient but lacked its own style as Yomi Alliance's one does. If you wish to visit all of our websites you can find them here: www.brunimultimedia.com (website for the company as a whole) www.yomialliance.com (website for Yomi Alliance. And don't forget our KICKSTARTER!) www.thecoronersaga.com (The Coroner Saga website, and Episode 2 is coming in a few weeks as well!) Have fun with our games! We certainly have fun developing them! Be safe and healthy,

Greetings fellow doctors! As General Practitioner is approaching its Beta and Final Release due in December, we started planning our game development future for the foreseeable future, and we're excited to announce you a few projects we have in store, the first of which will be Alpha-Ready when GP will be finalized. 2020 will be full of projects I'm very excited about: - Yomi Alliance: a sci-fi Adult RPG/Visual Novel (see next) - The Coroner Saga: Episodes 3, 4 and 5 - New DLCs and updates for General Practitioner, many of which for free - The Devil's Shoes, a brand new 8 hours long erotic videogame - The Interview, a General Practitioner erotic spinoff 6 hours long While some of our projects will be announced on a later date, today I want you to know about Yomi Alliance.
This project is ambitious, even bigger than General Practitioner. You can see informations about it on Steam Page and the Official Website Featuring dozens of hours of gameplay, you will experience a different game every time you run a playthrough, since every career choice and even your starting species will determine different outcomes in conversations, actual gameplay and situations!
A project this big will need some time to be completed of course, and a lot of money as well. That's why we're starting the Alpha Early Access in December and we're also launching a Kickstarter for the project on October 31st! Supporting us on Kickstarter and/or Patreon ensures us to keep doing our job: creating different kinds of Visual Novels and make you enjoy them for many hours for the months to come! All Patreon rewards have been changed to reflect the new releases, so you can take a look to them as well, even though of course the Kickstarter crowdfunding is the best way to show us your support (and earn a Free Steam Key as well).
You can apply for the Kickstarter from October 31st to November 30th, 2019. A DEMO of the game will be available on October 31st on Steam as well. The demo will feature the first fours Academy Weeks and one of the first Away Missions. You can choose any of the four species and three genders in the demo and a career of your choice between Command and Science.
Alpha release in December will feature a FULL Academy training section (about 20+ hours of gameplay) and every month we'll release further content with priority release for our crowdfunders. We're very excited about this opportunity, we hope you'll keep following us, supporting us and always be safe and healthy! Thank you.

Greetings! I just released a very small fix to address an issue which in some cases prevented a game to be loaded. If you experience the issue make sure you have the latest available Steam release and perform a "Repair game" just in case. Thank you for your patience, I apologize for this issue.

GENERAL PRACTITIONER 0.0.29 ALPHA RELEASE - "Shadows and Villains" GENERAL WARNING: If you choose to pursue Kiko's romance we recommend to start over a new game or load a save before October (in-game time). Not doing so might have you skip some story events or load a broken save.

Her code is: 8277861067 This exam won't be available in Exam Mode and it cannot be chosen from the computer.

Greetings fellow doctors! Amongst the final changes made to the game I'm reviewing the User Interface. Too many people believe this is something less important than actual gameplay or story script, while I learned from the best developers that it's a very important part of the game, just like a good musical score! One of the oldest interfaces in the game was the "Daily Choice Screen" and the "Clinic Choice Screen". Basically you had to click once onto the clinic, then another screen would appear and you had to choose again what to do. While navigating the city the screens could even be more than two, making the whole operation very annoying for some players.
0.0.30 update will feature two brand-new maps: the city map (so that you can have an idea on how the city the doctor's lives in looks like) and the clinic map, showing you what it means to be inside St. Mary's clinic.
A tooltip will of course appear while moving the mouse over an icon, showing you what will happen if you choose a specific place. I hope you'll like this small but important improvement of the game! Be safe and healthy, thank you for being with me in this journey!

All good things must come to an end... And that's not as easy as it might seem.
General Practitioner is approaching its 30th major patch release on Patreon and soon it will be available for every player as well. We're in the middle of finalizing the script, adding images and fixing the most obvious bugs, which is a bigger step in development than many might think. 0.0.30 will also mark the last Alpha Release of the game, which will enter Beta in November with 0.1.0 and finally in final release in December. I took many decisions about the game and here I am announcing them to you.
First of all, I had to draw a line: many improvements can still be made in the game's story, so much content can still be added (side stories for other characters, more patients, more items in the store, etc.) and many will be added when Beta hits the shelves! Still, I think it's also time to finalize the game in its current state, taking a full month to polish it from bugs and other issues (which are very minor right now) and seeing how the game can walk on its own. This of course means that I had to cut something that just wasn't working properly in terms of script and gameplay.

• The "Gallery" feature will be removed from the Main Menu as it was never properly developed and most people have no use for it (you can take a screenshot of everything in the game hiding the interface by pressing "H" on your keyboard).
• Father Torque's "mission" was added in 0.0.4 but it doesn't add anything to the Doctor's story, character or choices. While I also wrote the examination for the road worker guy you're supposed to steal underwear from, it just didn't work. And sometimes we, as writers, need to accept something we're writing is not fitting the whole opera and cut it out.
• The settings screen won't show support for other languages anymore. Unfortunately we never reached our crowdfunding goal to start translating the game in any language, and GP will stay an english-only Visual Novel for the time being (it was never posted anywhere around the game's promotional pages that a localization would be added, to be honest).
• Some endings will be rewritten to fit the new content added in 0.0.30, which means the "main story" of the game. If you thought the endings were only bad ones, that's because they lacked some part of the story, especially Claudia's and Erika's

From 09/09 to 09/15 the game will be available at a 18% discount. This is the last opportunity to grab the game at a discounted price before it's being released. Getting the game on Early Access helps us to keep developing our games, and it's a show of support to the game's development. Please note that in Early Access state the game is still under construction with missing/buggy parts and unpolished screens. Grab the game now! Become a General Practitioner and stay tuned with us for more informations about upcoming games and releases! Thank you all for your help and support. I really mean it.

An update for General Practitioner is available for download!

• Fixed an issue which caused Karen's exam to crash
• Fixed an issue which could've caused a crash when loading a game
• Fixed a very rare issue which caused savegames to become corrupted after performing Karen's examination. This fix auto-fixes the issue so that saved games before it occurred are being restored. Sorry for any discomfort this might have caused.
• Aaron/Vanessa bondage event won't start automatically every afternoon anymore
• Fixed a rare crashing issue during Lacey's 3rd exam
• Fixed an issue with Monique's 2nd exam conversation
• Fixed a very rare issue which cause Erika sex scenes to mess up the game

GENERAL PRACTITIONER 0.0.28 ALPHA RELEASE - "Celebrating a new life" GENERAL: WARNING: If you choose to pursue Elisa's romance we recommend to start over a new game or load a save before "Our Clinic My Baby" chapter. Not doing so might have you skip some story events or load a broken save.

• Bug fixing
• Fanny and Madalyn's achievement were not granted when their exam was completed. This has been fixed. Loading a save where you already examined them grants the achievement automatically.

• Claudia's wage now shows correctly in the staff management screen (was showing the monthly wage instead of the weekly's)
• Fixed a crashing issue tied to Kathlyn's exam
• Fixed an issue which prevented the correct conversations with Rita and Erika to happen while watching TV or cooking.
• Watching TV will no longer prompt the player to choose "Cook by yourself" in the choice screen
• Rita will no longer refer to the player as "Boss" during home conversations
• The game won't refer to Rita being used to see naked people while working anymore. It was a bit awkward to imagine her serving icecreams to naked customers.
• User Interface's behavior during conversations has been changed. The "Blue Bar" will now be shown in every conversation of the game
• Main User Interface has been updated with new graphics
• Examination User Interface has been updated with new graphics

• Added new Medical Procedures in the Codex: - Dual Test
• New Achievements have been added: - Family over reputation (you chose to become a father) - A new life (you had a baby)
• Added masturbation activity with Rita while at home
• All home activities have been updated to involve Elisa if she's living with you

• Every medical examination has now all options available. If a specific exam is unremarkable the standard "blue text" will appear. This will increase the game's difficulty but allow for a better immersion in the game.
• New exam available: Lacey (#75). This is the fourth part of her story, the first one released in update 0.0.25. Her code is: 8277861067 This exam won't be available in Exam Mode and it cannot be chosen from the computer. It only plays if Vanilla mode is OFF and if you made the right choices in the first three exams of her. The exam starts after October 26th, in-game calendar.

• Added event "Choosing to be a father" which will play whenever you choose Elisa over your former partner to keep the baby as the father
• Added event "What is that smell?" which will play on November 5th, morning
• Added event "Sex is good for pregnancy" which will play on November 25th, morning
• Added event "Shall we tell the others?" which will play on December 3rd, morning
• Added event "I am bleeding!" which will play on December 12th, afternoon
• Added event "Will you marry me?" which will play on January 10th, morning
• Added event "The center of everything" which will play on February 2nd, afternoon
• Added event "Any minute from now" which will play on February 19th, morning
• Added event "Parenting tips" which will play on February 15th, morning
• Added event "Physician, Heal Thyself (Elisa's Path) which will start on March 31st and continue up to April 21st Please note that during this event the energy amount of the doctor is forced to be very low. This is working as intended as it reflects the doctor's current health and it's NOT a bug which doesn't replenish the health bar.

• The game will end on April 30th, which marks the end of the full game.

As the game is getting more and more polished with each update, I'm adding elements that weren't "necessary" to gameplay but that I think are a nice addition nevertheless. This time I'm talking about staff conversations with your hired staff members. Whenever you go to the clinic you'll have a chance to meet one of your employees and share a small conversation with them. They will greet you and share their thoughts about topics related to their field of work. Of course more staff members you hire and more conversations will happen.
Phrases are randomly chosen, so sometimes it will happen for some conversations to repeat themselves (there are about 10 for each "area" of work such as midwives, technicians etc.), and more will be added in future updates as well.
While this is probably a "minor" feature within the game, I think it adds to the game's background and immersion, as staff members won't be inactive NPC but people you work with. Further improvements to staff members and their management are planned after the final release of the game, but that's for another Devlog to disclose.
As always, thank you for following, supporting and playing the game! I hope you'll like this new layer of simulation.

An update for General Practitioner is available for download!

• Fixed a crashing issue during "Physician Heal Thyself" chapter (Vanessa's path)
• Fixed a crashing issue during "Physician, Heal Thyself" chapter (Rita's path)
• Rita's Photoshoot will now only happen if you're living with her

One of the most interesting relationships you can pursue in General Practitioner is Kiko's. This girl was not one of the main characters planned for the game when it started development as it was introduced on a later patch after one of our Patreon pledgers asked for her as a reward for his support.
As every other patient's request made in time by Patrons, she had to come, be examined and then disappear from the game for good, giving the player a choice to blackmail her or not after her examination. However, I saw many possibilities to explore her character, which is quite different from any other in the game, with a very strong and distinct personality.
She is also very young, being only 18 the first time you meet her, and this makes for a series of awkward situations with you being very older. In fact, her father, introduced in the "Shady Business update", is somewhat around your age and this gave the doctor a chance to play Casanova with Mrs. Xuan as well. If you resist that urge, though, Kiko will become in time more and more attracted by you, up to the point where is father takes the situation under his control.
As the Head of a traditional family, with Chinese and Japanes cultures intermixed, he wants to make sure that the new "boyfriend" of Kiko is up to the task, and will try everything he can to split you for good. He will bully the doctor up to a point where you could have to do certain "favors" to him. Until 0.0.29 you won't have much choice, once you're in with Mr. Xuan you stick with him for good, but with the upcoming update this might change.
Facing 5 new different chapters and tasks to earn Mr. Xuan's trust and respect, you will have to save (or get someway else) a lot of money to impress him, you will visit Japan on a short trip with Kiko to learn more about her and her family, and you will be asked to train in Tang Soo Do martial art to show him you can become more than you actually are. Performing these tasks will get you free from Mr. Xuan's latches once and for all, and give you a chance of an happy ending with Kiko. Unless you actually betray Mr. Xuan when dealing with... No spoiler, the Main Storyline is yet to be released. Keep following me for further updates!

• Fixed an issue where Aaron was becoming the Doctor's boyfriend even if homosexuality content was not enabled Saved games that were affected by this are automatically updated to disable Aaron's-related content. Of course if you are already well past that the game could become unstable, I recommend loading a save before March, in-game time.

Update 0.0.29 is underway development and there are many interesting things I want you to know about it! The first one being yet another consequence to some of your actions during the game, from a very early medical exam. If you end it in a specific way this new hospital exam will play, where our John Doe is found unconscious and with stains of blood all over his shirt and brought to the ER.
It all seems quite the usual exam, but then something happens, and the patient is not as injured as he looked, when he grabs a gun from under his shirt and aims it to you.
This particular hospital exam is quite different from the others, as it requires many dialogue choices to avoid upsetting him more than needed, and to find out what is driving him insane to the point of shooting innocent people inside the hospital.
In General Practitioner, at its almost last Alpha patch, I'm trying to add new situations, events and gameplay options in each update, I hope you'll keep enjoying it as you did until now, because it's only thanks to you if I can keep doing my job and bring you new and interesting games! Oh, and keep your ears open for more announcements incoming (who said TCS S1E2? And who said anything about "The Future"?)

• The game will end on April 30th, which marks the end of the full game.

Update 0.0.28, which is due to release in late August/Early September will focus on Elisa's story. Those of you who have already started her path might have noticed how she can become pregnant by the Doctor during his trip to Seattle early in the game. The Doctor's parenthood isn't automatic: you need to make the right choices for it to happen, and if he isn't the father Elisa will go back to her former boyfriend, Officer Kirby. If the story progresses though you will be left to choose if you want to become a father in the game and then her story unfolds as her pregnancy progresses and she approaches her delivery date.
Let me tell you that narrating pregnancy isn't easy. The risk to fall in abused clichs is way too easy, even more than talking about homosexuality in general, and those who haven't experienced this part of life can barely guess what it means, because it's something that needs to be lived to be fully understood (I realized that AFTER my wife's own pregnancies myself). Over the course of the game you will face conversations, challenges and moments of despair, but also fun and joy. Those are the feelings that accompany every parent-to-be, no matter what. I tried to put those in the game by talking about my own experiences and traslating them inside the game, keeping Elisa's mood intact as well as the doctor's.
In terms of gameplay a new meter has been added: the Stress Meter. Elisa will become more or less stressed during her pregnancy and this will ultimately lead to different outcomes when ending her story arc. It's up to you to make the right decisions (or the one who mostly appease you) to calm her down and let her live this experience the best of ways. However, as in real life, sometimes her stress level will increase regardless of what you do, because external happenings can always interfere with your "perfect life" together and you'll have to face unavoidable events which will test your bond with her.
While there's not enough in-game time to actually follow Elisa after her delivery, this will be definitely added in the game as a future content, but right now a full pregnancy experience is more than enough to deal with ;) Another choice you might have made that will affect her pregnancy and stress is whether or not hiring a midwife (or more) into your staff at the clinic. Midwives have been a lovely, irreplaceable part of our own pregnancy experience and I wanted this to be present in my game as well. While they will work as a "hidden calculation" with just a couple dialogues, they can be quite useful in helping the parents-to-be to be as happy and relaxed as they can. I sincerely hope you will enjoy Elisa's path. Be safe and healthy,

Hello guys! In the past few weeks I received A LOT of feedback about Rita's story arc, which involves a cuckold/Netorare path and was recently released. I was quite surprised by the amount of feedback about it, I admit, because polls told me Rita wasn't a top character for the fanbase, however as I always said I completely rely on your feedback to improve the game and make it fun and cool to play!
That's how I noticed her path/story wasn't very appreciated, either because it wasn't fun or because no one wanted the Doctor to be a weak character who "lends" his girls around, and I'm now telling you: "I acknowledge your concerns!" That's why starting with 0.0.28 (August update), together with Elisa's story which was already planned, I'll be adding a completely new path for Rita's story. Whoever doesn't like/want a NTR path can completely avoid it, while Rita will demand other "tasks" to the doctor to appeal to her (she is quite demanding as a character). The original path will still be available for those who'll enjoy it of course, but it won't be the only path you can choose. I spent the last two years telling you that your feedback matters a lot, it would be silly to ignore it when it comes in such a massive way. And I sincerely THANK YOU for letting me know this wasn't working at all with the game. Be safe and healthy, always.

Hello guys!
A few hours ago my 2nd child was born a month earlier than expected! Join me and my wife Sara to greet the newborn baby Mirko into life! (Of course development for the game AND bug fixing AND some reply to emails might be delayed for a few days, I'm sure you'll forgive me because of this, as I don't have a staff who works for me, every interaction is personal ;) ) This is the 2nd baby born during General Practitioner's development! It's a fantastic sensation, even though I still need to really understand what just happened as it was very fast AND unexpected!

Greetings fellow doctors! In this very hot summer, at least in southern Europe, I thought about giving you some fresh news for you to enjoy! Today I'm introducing you some new places to enjoy in the game, which will be delivered with update 0.0.27 which is about to be published for our Patreon supporters and in a few weeks for everyone as well!
All these places are tied to your relationship with Vanessa and Aaron, so you will only discover them by going through your relationship with them. Also, since they introduce new ways to get money and stats, they are also introduced quite late into the game to avoid breaking its balance. The first place is the Bank where Aaron works. You can go there to either talk with him (26 conversations have been added for both him and Vanessa, and they are not just the same ones repeating themselves, but are different lines who reflect the characters) or to use the bank services (i.e. Loans)
For a monthly fee you can get up to 100k $ to spend at the clinic, buying cars, paying staff members etc. You can only have the higher loans if your clinic has enough fame though, as the bank won't just give money to some unknown guy who needs it. If you fail to repay the monthly fee you will lose A LOT of fame, so think about loans if you feel like paying them back! The second place is the Garage, where Aaron or Vanessa (depending on who you chose on January to be your "Main Romantic Interest") will tweak cars for a price. And being you their partner you are offered a discount!
If you own one or more cars/bykes, you can bring them there to be customized and earn some benefits.

• Adding ***ADS*** will cost you 4500$ and will boost your fame by 15 points each month.
• Modifying the ***ENGINE*** will cost you 10000$ and reduce the energy you need to move around to 0.
• Adding ***LED LIGHTS*** will cost you 3500$ and will boost your charm by 5 each month.
• You can do this for more than one vehicle, and the effects will stack.
• Each time you ask for a customization your relationship with Aaron/Vanessa will increase significantly.
• However, since they are self-learning mechanics, there is also a 3% chance they will damage your vehicle permanently.

Join us for Steam's Summer Sales! Enjoy General Practitioner at a very interesting discount rate and support its development! Join thousands of players in managing St. Mary's clinic, just a few days ahead of update 0.0.26 which will add more and more hours of story content as well as 4 unique medical exams, making the total to 72 (plus 60 random ones). If you wish you can also grab all our released Medical Visual Novels with the Medical Bundle, granting you yet another discount if you get all of our games!

My ill-fated attempts to become a successful novelist (both the site and the book are in italian only, but I wouldn't call it a blockbuster success :D) showed me I was very interested in telling stories to an audience. That's something that brought me where I am today in fact: I just figured out that the best way to tell stories for me was developing videogames, and feedback seem to appreciate my way of storytelling. General Practitioner has been praised many times for its conversations, its characters who are natural and different and each of them pursuing their own interest and agenda, without adapting to the player's choices. I mean, Aaron has his own view about gay relationships, as most gay people do, because no one is alike one another, and that's not something revolutionary in telling a story, but it's definitely something that is appreciated.
While writing the stories for Vanessa and Aaron for 0.0.27 update I faced another challenge (this game posed me many of them): how to actually tell a story of homosexuality without sounding false and clich, how to write an heterosexual storyline which intertwines with that one without sounding naive or offensive? And most important: do you need a gay writer to write gay stories? The answer is, in my case: no, you don't. That's why I struggled for days to create something interesting in the game, something that would've been recognized as a real story for most homosexual players, something that I hope will entertain you and also make you smile a little. People who won't pursue a gay relationship in the game will still access this story, as it's part of the doctor's past where the player has no power upon, and helps to define the man he has become today.
Are we just the sum of our past deeds and experiences? What would've been different if we acted differently 15/20 years ago? Are we sure everything would've worked better for us? Yes, it is a bold endeavour and maybe those are stories that people clicking on the "Play" button of General Practitioner are not interested in reading. But somehow I believe that's not true, as most people loved the relationships in game more than they love the nudity in it, and since I started making videogames to tell stories and not mainly to show pixel-art nudity, believe me when I say I'm very happy to know my stories are appreciated and read by thousands of people.
So maybe, just maybe, my attempts to become a novelist weren't so ill-fated eventually.

An update for General Practitioner is available for download!

• Fixed a crash during Erika's conversations at home
• Fixed a crash when visiting the clinic before Lacey's first exam
• Fixed an uncommon issue causing the game not recognizing Erika living with the player if you made her your girlfriend during the "Our Clinic, My Legacy" chapter. Saved games affected by the issue are automatically fixed when loading a new game.

One of the most reported negative feedback about General Practitioner is its difficulty. Over time, I received reports of people who didn't enjoy the medical portion of the game (which is half the fun!) because of its inherent difficulty. This is understandable and I always wanted to improve this aspect of the game without sacrificing its nature in doing it: General Practitioner is a Visual Novel unlike most others, as it involves a real medical simulation made with the help of real doctors and I never wanted players to just skip the medical part as it wasn't important for the game. Of course, this makes GP sort of a "niche game", but so were the games from Legacy Games which I always took for inspiration for this project since its beginning. In time, I added a setting "Medical Help" which, if the character has enough knowledge, gives hints about the findings. I recommend most players to play with the Medical Help ON, because some cases are very hard without it. It was also suggested that every part of the game which is "normal" (in medicine nothing is "normal", it might be "unremarkable" at most), be labelled differently, so that people won't have to read through the same conversation and dialogues dozens of times. With 0.0.27 every "normal" finding will have its text in blue and bold, so that you'll know those parts of dialogues mean the patient is ok with that part of his/her body. Of course now you will have to play an even closer attention to the black parts of the exam's text, because they will hint at real problems or will have remarks from the patients or other physicians present.
I could've colored the "remarkable" parts in red, but I didn't do it for a variety of reasons, the first one being that remarkable parts are the most common (because unlike real doctors you won't have to perform "healthy head to toe exams" at all in the game), and because part of General Practitioner's success is also its non-linear difficulty, facing the finding of something odd inside what has been quite normal until that very moment. Starting with 0.0.27 I will also remove some very hard to read parts of the exam, because they weren't really adding something to the gameplay and were fun just to real doctors to read. For example: "ECG shows no ST-segment elevations in leads V1 and V2" becomes: "There are no unusual synus patterns and no alterations in frequency of the hearbeat." which is far more readable. Finally, we're going to introduce a new option to show the clinic's daily results or not when going through mornings and evenings. I hope you'll like the new additions to the game, we're approaching Beta in six months and everything will need to be polished by then! Wish me a good luck! :D

• Claudia's call to talk "about Rita" won't repeat itself any longer
• Removed the conversation option to undress Rita during her examination as it was replaced by undressing icons long ago
• Erika's romance event won't repeat itself any longer
• Fixed an issue preventing the staff work to correctly check their abilities during work. This caused a major drop of stats even with very expert staff members
• Fixed a missing image for Elder Male Back Exam (archetype #3) with no clothes on
• Nancy's exam will no longer repeat itself if you turned down her sexual proposal (Story mode only)
• Random Female Patients won't get Andropause anymore as their illness
• Fixed a rare issue which cause calendar date to skip days (i.e. telling it's tuesday while it's friday). Unfortunately this change required to reset a variable in the script, so it won't be possible to restore affected saved games. If your save was affected by the issue you'll have to either ignore it if you can OR start a new game. Sorry about the inconvenience this might cause to some of you.

Hello fellow doctors! Today I'm introducing you two new characters: Dr. Marcus, a renowned dentist and his assistant Amy. You will see those characters again in the future as well ;) After Rita starts to feel a severe pain over her jaw, she asks you to bring her to the dentist, because she never needed one she doesn't know where to go. You remember hearing of a very renowned clinic, named "The Gentle Bite". Dr. Marcus, the owner, is a young and talented dentist who accomplished many important results with his work, so you take your car and bring your girlfriend there.
Rita is therefore greeted by Dr. Marcus himself, which is quite unusual as you hear, and his assistant Amy, a gorgeous girl who's eager to start the examination of the 23-years-old patient. Both Dr. Marcus and Amy are very kind and professional, but something doesn't seem to fit in in your mind, as they interview you about Rita's dental concerns.
You are then asked to wait outside while the examination is performed. You don't really understand why, but those are the rules, so... Rita joins you back in 30 minutes and tells you about her experience with Dr. Marcus' skills, which are renowned for a good reason.
She looks a little dazed, but you both blame the anesthesia for that, as she tells you she will see the Doctor again in two weeks. You then return home, happy that everything's gone well!

As you might know, Rita's story revolves around the concept of cuckolding/netorare. It is not an unexpected turn of events, since when the player first meets her she is a patient and she has an older boyfriend who she's not very happy with, up to the point that he leaves him almost overnight to spend her days with the doctor. Telling a story like this one easily falls down to cliches, as telling Claudia's story, and I wanted players to read something that wasn't too clich, because I feel we already got plenty of them in most games nowadays, and I initially started this project to "deliver you the game I always dreamed to play."
When choosing to tell this story, in a very important chapter for the doctor's story with Rita, I also chose to have HER telling the story as she was writing out her memory or something, or even a letter to her lover (you). You will be able to enjoy this story on June 6 on Patreon for our crowdfunders, but the retail release will come a month later as usual for everyone to play both on Steam, Itch.io etc.
And while I was reading through the final story myself... I found it erotic but also cute, even bitter-sweet to some extenct.
I think you'll be moved by what happens on screen between Rita and her unknown lover, who isn't given a name nor an image to better express his complete foreignness to the player. One way or another you will be asked to make a choice (more than one), and one of them will also unlock an animated sex scene added for this chapter.
Of course many of you will play the most kinky and erotic path, but I don't think it will be easy to choose that one, because if Rita's character grew some fondness in you, well... No more spoilers, play 0.0.26 and enjoy Rita's story when it will be available :)

The Coroner Saga is now available for PC, Mac and Linux devices both on Steam and itch.io (as well as Android on itch.io and Google Play)! This is our second videogame since we founded the studio in 2018 and the first one to be fully released (even though in an episode format), while General Practitioner is still in Early Access until December 2019.
This game is smaller in size and scope, but not in depth, as the wonderfully written story and its dialogues, made by the renowned writer J.D. Glass, will surely entertain you episode after episode. While the release plan is still to be set, we aim to release an episode every 3-4 months. Available language at release will be english, while italian and japanese translations will be available in a few weeks after each release with an update to the game. We had much fun developing this episode, we sincerely hope you'll have fun playing it as well! Be safe and healthy,

All right, I hear you :D It looks like the option to scroll back with the mouse was something VERY important for the players as I'm getting A LOT of requests to bring it back again, although an option in the settings screen should do the trick, I am re-enabling the scroll back ability with this very small update. Please note that abusing this might lead to unexpected behavior in Random Exams and random events, as the "random dice" gets pulled every time you scroll back and this might cause the game to behave strangely. While I will look into the issue, my recommendation is not to abuse the rollback option for the time being ;) Thanks for your feedback, it's awesome how this community is helping me to develop an excellent game!

This caused the fame to decrease A LOT no matter what you did day after day and eventually broke the mechanic, even after sending people to lectures. - Female patients affected by altitude sickness won't have penises anymore - Fixed a very rare issue which prevented the Merry Christmas event to play at all if a long list of choices was made in an exact order. This was found out by mere chance as it was literally very rare! - Fixed an issue which prevented the "Merry Christmas" chapter to be played with your chosen romance option. In case you already played the event, chances are that you played the "Claudia" version, while there were 6 more different ones. I suggest you load a save before December 24th (in-game time) and play the event again, or start a new game. Older saved games are already fixed by applying the update and loading. - Fixed an uncommon issue which corrupted the game if you dated Rita by phone after you already had dinner with her. - Fixed an issue with the game not recognizing Aaron or Vanessa being your romance partner. The issue fixes the game after you load a savegame after "The higher, the Fewer" chapter has been completed. - Fixed a wrong sequence of save game numbers on the Save and Load screens
• Added new pictures for actions throughout the game
• Fixed an issue that prevented Mac users with certain hardware configurations to correctly display animations
• Gallery option was temporarily removed from the game until it will be completed
• Removed the ability to "mouse scroll" back to a previous line of dialogue. This was a temporary feature for development purposes only. You can still rollback to a previously made choice by enabling the "left/right side scroll back" when clicking the mouse in the Preferences screen, but it might not always be possible (by design choice, that's not a bug!). This of course adds to the overall difficulty of the game, so if you're really unsure about what to do... SAVE OFTEN!
• Removed a "Work in progress" screen after "Merry Christmas", it was out of date
• It is now easier to date Judith (Paul's mom) after his exam

• New Achievements have been added: - A chance for Glory - Younger! Harder! - Lifeguard - Fertility Issues - Part 1
• The "Home activities" are now involving Erika if she's living with you. - Play a musical instrument - Spend some time cooking - Spend some time with Erika - Masturbate (if vanilla mode is OFF) - Have a shower - Watch TV - Watch porn (if vanilla mode is OFF) - Play a videogame
• Relationship markers with Elisa have been redesigned. The game automatically updates itself to the new marker when loading a game or starting a new game.
• After January 2nd, if you have more than one romance in place, the game will ask you which is the "Main Romance" you want to pursue. While it's possible to date more than one girl at any given time, for shared events (events which take place in the very same day for each character involved) it's necessary to choose who to give priority to for narration purposes.
• In-game year now shows 202x instead of 2017-2018
• "Quests" have been removed from the game. See Devlog #16 for further infos about why.
• Some in-game events' activation triggers have been moved or redesigned. While the method used should not corrupt save games it is recommended you start a new game OR load a game before September (in-game time)
• You can now tell staff members to undergo training classes to improve their skills. See this link for further infos about this feature. EXAMINATIONS:
• New exam available: Gloria (#66): you can start her exam in story mode after you completed the "Erika's Legacy" third part in February or type in her ID (4333268165)
• New exam available: Lacey (#67): you can start her exam after February 4th or type in her ID to play it (8277861067)
• New hospital exam available: Rajesh (#68): you can start his exam after February 10th or type in his ID to play it (1997240868) STORY: All of "Erika-related" content will play regardless if chose her as a "Main Romance", however some situations and conversations might change accordingly.
• Added event "Erika's relationship" which will start on January
• Added event "Erika's Legacy" which will start in September, December and February (if you're already over those dates the event will start regardless)
• Added event "High School Lecture" which will start in November after you discussed about it with Rita, Claudia or Erika at home
• Added event "Physician, heal thyself Erika Path)" which will start on March 31st and continue up to April 21st. This will only play if Erika is your "Main Romance". Please note that during this event the energy amount of the doctor is forced to be very low. This is working as intended as it reflects the doctor's current health and it's NOT a bug which doesn't replenish the health bar.

Update 0.0.26, which will be released on Patreon this month and on retail stores (including both Steam and Itch.io) on July, focuses on Rita, as many of you already know.
One of the main events featured in the update is the "Shooting". You might remember that the cute, shy Rita went down a path of transgression and lust when she discovered a sexual world that was always behind her grasp. Until she met you, of course! Rita started to wonder if there was something different in having sex with people that weren't her ex-boyfriend Luke or the Doctor himself, so she began to move into "the life", getting more and more interested about cuckoldry and her role as a "sweet girl".
Everything started with Jos, but now she's moving forward to other partners as well, and the Doctor seems to be ok in making her explore this side of herself, but is he? This time Rita met a famous photographer at her icecream shop and when he asked her to be his model for a shooting she immediately accepted, bringing you with her. Watch and choose how events will play in this situation and watch her being pleased in front of you by a stranger, or leave them be and argue with her later to try and bring her back to a safer relationship.
As with every other part of the game, your choice will matter AND determine the outcome of your relationship with Rita in 0.0.26. I hope you'll enjoy 0.0.26 update, "A song of Icecream and Fire" when it's released! In the meantime grab the game if you haven't, a huge discount is still available on Steam until tomorrow!

The latest part of the 2nd Anniversary Celebration is the release of the game's Original Soundtrack as a separate DLC for the game. There are 11 tracks in MP3 format, composed by indie musician Ann Sharova specifically for this game. These are the track titles: 1- First Date 2- Cold Relationship 3- It wasn't me 4- Sunny Mood 5- Waiting for tonight 6- Stress Moments 7- Use your brain 8- Crew Gathering 9- Unchecked Passion 10- Worrying News 11- Tell me it's not true By buying both the game AND the soundtrack you'll get a 15% discount over the total, which goes up to 35% during the Anniversary Celebration! You can find the Soundtrack bundle here!
The picture above shows another concept art for the game which never went through the final product. The Doctor was made for a whole new character model, using Daz3d's brand new (for the time) Genesis 3 and making Rita a bit different. While The Doctor was very handsome I reverted to Genesis 2 eventually because there was no way to fit a Doctor's coat over a Gen3 character. A year later the Doctor's model was revamped with a newer Genesis 8 character, allowing for animations and for an higher definition character.

2nd Anniversary celebration continues!
After the Personalized Postcard you will have the option to grab General Practitioner at a discounted rate of 30%! This sale won't be repeated as the game won't receive a discount so big before its Final Release, so it's the best way to get a copy of the game and support its development! This picture shows a very early draft of the game, maybe the very first picture I made for the game which of course didn't get into any part of it.
You can see a very rough quality, and the Doctor wasn't wearing his coat. He even didn't have any beard, but its iconic hair were already in place! Also, that patient looked very pretty and sexy, and she was the first concept art for Rita, but she never made it into the game either and her character model was later re-used for Nurse Thompson character a few updates later. The clinic was there, at least the main examination room. This picture is dated 13/05/2017, and development of the game progressed A LOT thanks to an oustanding fanbase which built around this Visual Novel. Thank you for your support over the last two years. This sale is for those of you who still wish me to continue developing amazing Visual Novels.

General Practitioner is two years old! Everything started in May 2017, the game was unlike what you are looking at today, I wasn't a full time developer yet and my wife was pregnant with my firstborn. I can't even start to list all the things that have changed in the meantime: the game hit Early Access on digital retail stores and it's approaching its Beta and Final Release, my job is now to deliver funny Visual Novels for thousands of people to play with and my wife is still pregnant (well, it's another child of course!)
The activity selection screen as it used to be back in the days! To celebrate the 2nd Anniversary we're going to introduce you three surprises you might like, and I will announce them today in different posts, so keep following me for further infos! The first surprise is a Patreon Special Offer, a gift of mine to whoever pledges 10$ starting from today to June 3rd: a personalized physical postcard which will be sent at your address! The postcard will also feature an handwritten thank you signed by me. All you have to do is:

• Join Patreon with your account, or create one as needed
• Pledge at least 10$. This way you'll not only receive the postcard, but all Patreon-related privileges and you'll be helping the games' development A LOT!
• Make sure you updated your address correctly to receive the postcard!

As I already posted before, one of the most rewarding experiences of this job is to read and listen to the players' feedback about the game. This feedback is most of the time very useful as it points out elements of the game which just simply don't work, or others that can be improved and also some that are a complete mess! Many feedback revolved around the User Interface for actions throughout the game, stating that it was difficult to understand, ugly and... well a complete mess! Of course, the game is still in Alpha and Early Access, therefore fans usually agree that many elements of the game are temporary and just "work" right now, but as the final release approaches week after week I'm finalizing temporary elements as well! That said, I'm introducing you the new user interface for the game, probably the ultimate one before release hits the shelves.
The upper bar features new colored icons for the stats, preferences, codex, cell phone interaction, relationship status and a "report a bug" button (in alpha/beta releases only). The font for the time and date has been made more readable, and so are the icons for the money, energy and the return button as well. Tooltips will appear below each button for an easier readability too!
The newly introduced staff management screen will be replaced with this version, with "Section" names that will highlight in the section-specific color (in this screenshot it's read for the midwives), while the user interface has been cleaned and made more understandable. Also, the money you actually own are clearly displayed in the top right corner.
Finally the examination screen. This has been completely overhauled. Buttons that will allow to undress the patient have been outlined to stand at attention. Icons for advanced examinations have been replaced by a tidy set of buttons similar to those used in every game's menu. Finally, a mannequin (male and female) has been added to the right portion of the screen to choose which area of the body to examine. Since one of the most annoying and reported bugs was about icon placement as different body types have different coordinated within the screen, the mannequin will show icons in the very same position, regardless of the patient, and are usually a better way to show informations. Always remember that you can hide all game's interfaces by pressing the "H" button on the keyboard if you wish to look at an image without any element to cover it. This changes will be published in the game between 0.0.26 and 0.0.28, I hope you'll enjoy them.

Greetings fellow doctors! One of the most requested features is the ability to improve the skills of your staff members, because many times they fail at the most simple task just because of bad luck or inexperience on their part. Starting with 0.0.25 we are going to introduce a new way to manage your staff members. This management screen (which is a work in progress since it will be improved as well), will allow you to choose which course your personnel will follow and who will be asked to go there.
You can choose a single staff member or ask a whole department to attend. While taking a course you won't benefit from your staff members' presence of course, and the number of turns in which they are staying away is displayed on the Daily Report Screen.
Improving your staff skills will also increase their weekly wage of 250$ for each point given. Of course staff who already got the maximum skill points won't take any lecture and can't be sent to improve their skills. Every different course's costs will vary depending on the skill, so plan ahead carefully who you're sending and where, because budget is always tight and you can't do everything. I hope you'll like this improvement of the game. Stay tuned for even more news! Be safe and healthy,

An update for General Practitioner is available for download!

• Fixed an issue which caused animation movies on Mac devices to crash the game
• Fixed a wrong interaction during Adult and Elder females' interviews on random exams
• The game won't subtract a point when not performing Anne's abdominal exam, since it is not available
• Clara is apparently shy and was missing from the park again! I convinced her to return there, so you can find her there this time after you load a save.

https://youtu.be/MmknUL0XGUU Would you like something like that? Would you like to interact with your patients as you were really in the room with them? General Practitioner's 2nd birthday is coming in two weeks and we're on our way to bring you a Beta in a few months, with the full game be polished and released by the end of the year. While The Coroner Saga is also on its way to launch and another cool Visual Novel will be announced in a few weeks on Kickstarter, we're also thinking about the future of this game as well, because its full release won't mean the game being abandoned! On the contrary, we are already planning to add exciting new features such as new events, scenes and medical scenes! One of the most asked features of the game are animations (which are being added update after update for the sex scenes) and some of you also asked for a "VR mode". That said, take a look at the above video to see what we're working on (the overall quality reflects our VERY EARLY stage of development for this). We're going to feature animations in most of the game's situations (dialogues, medical exams, interviews, examinations) AND we're also working on a "General Practitioner VR", which will allow you to interact with patients more or less like it's possible on such games as "Summer Lessons" which some of you might've played. VR compatibility and animations is no small feat though and it would be almost impossible to achieve by an "one-man indie studio" such as mine, so we added two different goals on our Patreon Page that, if reached, will allow us to deliver you one of the most different VR experiences available on the market (yeah, I'm quite confident about this!) Spread the news about the game with your friends, support us in this adventure, we completely rely on player's funds to keep doing what we do and try to deliver a different kind of Visual Novels! Pledge us on Patreon or look for another way to do so on our website (links on the "download" page), earn your rewards (more are going to be added soon)! Every dollar counts in crowdfunding and I'd like to express my eternal gratitude for all our pledgers and players all around the world, present, past and even future ones! You are making this possible! Thank you for this wonderful two years together and for the years to come! ANDREA

Hello guys! After a long thought I decided to discontinue my discord server starting in a few days. The reason behind it is very simple in fact: I don't regularly check it as I check the forums, the posts around the web and the email inbox, which I check on a daily basis. Instead that providing a disservice to my fan community just because "everyone"'s got a Discord server it's pretty useless, and people who contact me on Discord do expect to get replies from me, which are very scarce to say the least. I find the whole Discord app confusing when having to wrap up bugs, suggestions or even mere feedback about the game, and that reflects on the quality of service I try to provide as well. But worry not: there are plenty of ways to contact me, the most simple being the Steam Forums or directly by mail at development[at]brunimultimedia.com, where I usually reply every day to who contacts me. ;) Sorry for any discomfort this announcement might cause you. Be safe and healthy,

Hello fellow doctors! The long-awaited update nicknamed "Colleagues, Lovers" will be shipped in a few weeks while crowdfunders on Patreon will be able to play it a few days earlier. This update will focus on Erika's romance, with brand-new events and situations involving our favourite nurse! It also features three new medical exams which are a little different from what you're familiar with in terms of both situations and gameplay (at least for the "Story" event). New animations have been added to sexual situations, some of which are new on their own. The update is about three hours long in gameplay and I'm sure you'll like all the situations and high-definition pictures it brings along!
Lacey's examination, which you can see in the picture above, has been written and requested by one of our Patreon crowdfunders, a 30$ patron with the "Character request" reward of my page! If you wish to request a specific exam for the game while also supporting our projects join our 30$ tier on Patreon. A full list of rewards is available on our Patreon's Main Page. I hope you'll enjoy playing this update, as I really enjoyed writing it. The most fascinating stories can be written with these characters with hardly any repetition, since they all possess their own well-established characters and dreams and each of them has its own background!
Join the Doctor for an "High School Lecture" about the risks of sexually transmitted diseases or drug abuse (the choice is yours, as well as the consequences) and avoid (or enjoy) sexual tensions with the people there.
Investigate St. Mary's past as a troublesome situation arises due to one of your past mistakes during an hospital examination and join Erika in her search for answers over her family's medical Foundation. Read through her grandmother's last will to find a way out of trouble.
Join Erika and her friends Wyatt, Aaron, Vanessa and Prudence (you already met them at the Festival of Joy) for a pool-day holiday and live through the already released "Physician, Heal Thyself" chapter from a different standpoint. In 0.0.25 the choice is yours. Are you ready to become the General Practitioner you always sought to be? Or will your Casanova attitude complicate everything in your path to success? Be safe and healthy!

An update for General Practitioner is available for download!

• The game allowed the player to live with both Rita and Claudia. This was not intended and has been fixed in Chapter "Achy Breaky Heart" In order to restore savegames who are affected by this issue without having players restart the whole game an Alpha feature has been added to the game asking you who you wish to live with. Of course this is a temporary patch which will be removed in Beta since Beta release will wipe savegames.

This is necessary because the main story isn't completed and it could make this update uneffective if she is locked away from the Doctor's house due to the main story. The question will be asked when ending the main story's available content or when loading a save for the first time after that.
• Solved a crashing bug occurring during Claudia's story (missing variable siscug_aftersex_counter)

• Removed conversation icons in the "Joy Festival" chapter as they are meant to be present in medical exams only
• The "Skip to next exam" and "Skip to next event" features have been removed. They were meant for the early stages of the game when content was very scarce to help skip to the relevant parts of the game, however as the game got bigger and the Random Exam Project is completed the feature became useless and bug-prone, since the game assumed some events happened without setting the proper triggers, thus resolving in abnormal behavior. Since this feature was never meant to be present in the final game, we decided to remove it completely to avoid game-breaking issues. Some of you might have noticed that it wasn't updated since a long time either, and no negative feedbacks have been received about that, showing the lack of interest in the feature at all.
• A few activities have been added when you choose to stay home. - Play a musical instrument - Spend some time cooking - Spend some time with Claudia if she is living with the player - Study Medicine (moved from previous screen choice) - Masturbate (if vanilla mode is OFF) - Have a shower - Watch TV - Watch porn (if vanilla mode is OFF) - Relax (moved from previous screen choice) - Play a videogame

Greetings everybody! Work on The Coroner Saga is almost complete, and Episode 1 is about to hit the shelves. However, due to some last bug-fix and ready-check release date has been postponed by a couple weeks to around May 30th! Fasten your seatbelts and prepare to join Sara and her team for the first mistery to solve.
As previously stated the game will be released in episodes, with each episode self-concluding for its murder story, so that you can play each episode by itself (the game will presume you chose no one for the romance story in that case). Each "season" will be made up by 6 episodes and each episode will cost 5,99$. An option to buy a "Season Pass DLC" will be added to the game for a cost of 24,99$ (other currencies might differ a little).
This Otome Visual Novel is going to feature players' favourite game mechanic from General Practitioner for the autopsy part and will also feature a FULL HD resolution as well. An Italian translation will also be available, with Japanese that will be added shortly thereafter. More languages might be added in the future depending on the public's reaction to the game.
This is a new project which is more "standard" than General Practitioner as a Visual Novel, but also includes gameplay elements that aim for it to be something different as well. If you wish to support our games even further, as we are a very small indie company, you can do so by pledging on our crowdfunding Patreon page as 30$+ patrons will also receive a free Season Pass for the game (pledge must be active after the game's release of course).
Thank you for following our projects and giving our games a chance! Nothing will be possible without your (the gamers) support! Be safe and healthy,

***SPOILER ALERT! This devlog might contain spoilers about the game's story so far***
One of the features implemented in General Practitioner in the latest updates (and in future ones as well) is the so-called "jealousy" feature. As explained in other devlogs some characters like or dislike each other. As Dr. Jones lives in a very small town people tend to know each other quite well, and people have the habit to talk as well. And for a Casanova guy this usually means trouble. Starting from Claudia in 0.0.24 and continuing with Erika in 0.0.25 it comes a point where your past actions will need to be faced in front of your romance partner. While General Practitioner is not a stats-based game, meaning you don't have to grind stats in order to progress the story, stats will play a role in determining if a relationship will continue or not.
HATING AND LOVING Of course every character is different, so what bothers someone might not bother someone else. This is especially true in GP, because people will tend to trust each other and maybe distrust someone "just because". Let's take Erika for example: she doesn't notice (or care) if you have a relationship with Claudia, Elisa or Christina, but she WILL confront you if you happen to have a relationship (even a past one) with Rita or Kiko (because she can't stand medical professionals having a flirt with patients) and she will also be disappointed if you had sex (or you were in a relationship) with her close friends Vanessa or Aaron.
Also, she can't stand bisexuality in her partners (you might agree or not, but that's her opinion and not every character has the same one) and she will be more pissed off if you had a relationship with Aaron more than if you did with Vanessa. Of course past relationship "stack" together, so the bad effect on her will increase proportionally as the partners you had. BREAKING UP That means that every relationship with the above people will have you decrease her trust by a certain number of points (usually 10). You will also be asked some conversation choices that can increase or further decrease this value at some point. That's where past deeds with your partner come into action. If you behaved in a certain way (in Erika's case for example: have you blackmailed her into sex at the gym?) during the course of the game she will remember those actions and decrease her trust even further. If you behaved well and have a strong relationship you won't reach her "tolerance limit" and she will trust you enough to keep your relationship safe and sound.
Each character has a "trust tolerance level" below of which they will break up with you no matter what. Then again, since every character is different one might have a very high tolerance while other won't. For example Claudia's trust level to stay with you must be higher than 60, while Erika's must be higher than 40 and Aaron must be higher than 70. This has been done to "simulate" real relationships, because different people tend to be harder or easier to be with and your own deeds might mean more or less to them. Still, the relationship system has been built not to be too much hard on players. The game won't feature a gameover and the story will unwrap with different endings for each romance.
I recommend you NOT to look for a "perfect ending" but to enjoy the game trying to take into the shoes of Dr. Jones, making choices as you would in his situation. A player recently told me that conversations with Claudia are very natural and resemble real life ones. That's a very nice feedback which also means people do get pissed off or are entertained by the characters of the game, so play with them and treat them as you feel you should, without worrying about a "perfect score" which not only doesn't exists, but that you can pursue in a new run! Thanks for following the game, I hope to hear your impressions very soon! Be safe and healthy,

Greetings fellow doctors! Today I'm going to tell you about update 0.0.25, which will feature Erika and her personal storyline. As for Claudia's path in the upcoming 0.0.24 patch Erika will have plenty of situations to play with. While some will be similar to Claudia's (the "Physician, Heal Thyself" chapter for example), other will be playable only if you choose her path in the game. One of Erika's-only chapters is titled "High School Lessons" and will feature a visit to a school by both our favourite Nurse and Dr. Jones to teach young students about the risk of sexually-transmitted diseases.
During this chapter you will return to a school after many years and you'll be either excited or scared by the people who attend your lesson. The students' questions can be sometimes embarrassing, especially in front of your co-worker, but they can also teach yourself something about the sexual preferences of young people nowadays.
Of course our Casanova Doctor will also face some important choices that could have consequences in his relationship with Erika. A student (female or male, depending on your sexuality) could even ask the Doctor some "private lessons" after everybody's gone.

Some of you might recognize the "High School" situation as something already hinted in the game in the form of "Secondary objective/quest". This was the initial intention, however as game's development progressed I recognized that side-quests were useless to the overall gameplay. A "side-quest" should be, for its very nature, something that can be skipped without consequences and without losing something important for the story. Since this chapter became quite important for the game, as well as Father Torque's request in a future update, it was pointless for players to skip it and most people would have played it regardless.
For this very reason I decided to remove side-quests from the game and to have their stories added as normal chapters, so that everybody could play them in their stories. "High School Lessons" is a chapter playable in Erika's path, but you won't have to have her as your girlfriend to unlock it. More infos about Erika's path and 0.0.25 will be released very soon, so stay tuned! Thank you for your outstanding support of the game! You are making every update possible! PS: updates about The Coroner Saga coming up as well in a few days! Stay tuned!!!!

0.0.24 focused on Claudia's romance, so the latest devlogs have been about her, but remember that each Romance has its development scheduled, so all characters will have their own space eventually!
Romances in General Practitioner are different in gameplay. You will experience different ways to "win over the heart" of your chosen romance as some will require you to date them for a while, while others will only need you to play events and make choices. Every romance though roughly follows three major steps: meeting someone, getting to know someone and finally stay with someone. As Claudia is a relative to the MC, the first step is missing completely, while you played the second one when she visited you at home with Alex, when you spent time with her and when you joined her for dinner or Chrismas. After those events you might trigger the "romance starter" which in her case is either a kiss or something more, depending on dozens of choices along the way. Starting her romance will eventually lead you to sum things up and decide whether to romance her or not, unlocking her path and events in the game.
One such event is the Medical Conference in Canada, where she will speak to an audience about her medical research in the field of hearth surgery. This event might seem quite similar to the "Trip to Seattle" one, but it has many differences, at least in gameplay terms. Yeah, because after a while every romance (thus even Claudia's) will enter a "final step", where her "trust" won't be enough to understand if things are going well with her when ending the game and which ending you're going to unlock. With many choices available in each event, a counter of "good/wrong" choices is thereby activated and this, added to your romance's trust of course, will determine the outcome of the whole story.
You can choose to behave with Claudia the way you want. In each event you will get to know her better and better and the choices you'll make will reflect on your overall story with her. As usual, many situations will unlock only if you chose certain actions, but you won't be locked out from playing the events, as there's no "good choice" or "bad choice" but only choices that will bring you to the next event and so on.
All romances starting from 0.0.24 are pretty much the final content for each girl/guy in the game, but they NEED your feedback and I need your help too! While of course bugs and images can be added and fixed here and there, I need you to tell me what you think about dialogues, situations, even suggest some to add into the game. Even if it's "just" a story (and a very long one since there are dozens of lines to read through), it still needs alpha testing, hence that's where you, our amazing players' community, come in! I'm always available for your emails and contacts. You can reach me out by visiting my website www.brunimultimedia.com Thank you for your time, I hope you'll enjoy 0.0.24, which will be available on Steam and other Retailers on late April and for crowdfunders on Patreon in a few days as usual (0.0.23 is on its way to Steam on March 28th!!!)

Hi guys! Today's announcement is to tell you about our upcoming holiday. Since I'm going to have a baby on August (our 2nd child!), my wife and I decided to schedule our holidays ahead of time. For this very reason I will be out of office from March 31st until April 13th. During this period of time development for General Practitioner will stop, both for future releases and for bug fixes (that's why I'm releasing 0.0.24 without medical exams, which are the most prone to bugs in my experience). I won't be able to reply to emails or private messages either, so don't get mad if you can't reach me the usual way, I promise I will read through all your messages when I'm back! Development for The Coroner Saga will continue as usual instead, as we have a separate team working on it. Thanks for your support over time, I believe you'll like our future story updates A LOT! Be safe and healthy,

Today's devlog will introduce you an end-game event, which will be available for every route you will choose with some differences between one route and another. Being 0.0.24 focused on Claudia's romance we will explore her path today, but remember that each Romance has its development scheduled, so it won't be a Claudia-centered game of course! That said, this unusual event starts with a nice day at the local pool with both Claudia and Alex, her daughter and niece of yours. You will have so much fun together even though something's bothering the good doctor's troubled mind.
Depending on how you dealt with previous encounters with Claudia this event will trigger different conversations and outcomes. You might even miss some images and situations that you would've experienced with a friendlier relationship.
The day at the pool goes well, you have fun together even though the difficulties of your relationship with your sibling are pretty obvious. In General Practitioner you won't have an easy time winning over the heart of your romance options, because they do have their own opinions and feelings, and they won't always match yours, like in real life.
Still, the after-pool is the main event, as the Doctor will fell ill, starting with an annoying fever rising up every now and then and finally keeping him at home with a very low energy and severe nausea. This situation was inspired by my own health issues, as some of you who are following me for a long time might remember last June, when development stopped for almost a whole month while I recovered from a very bad viral infection, something that was very hard to deal with and that left me with no consequences fortunately.
While the events are fictional, the illness is inspired by my own. And here I thought a change of pace in the game was funny to develop. If a doctor gets ill who you're gonna call?
The situation that plays there is awkward and funny, as Claudia will need to understand the doctor's symptoms and treat him accordingly. And doctors are the worst patients indeed as you will give her a hard time during the exam.
I thought it would be cool if the Main Character and the NPC switched sides for a moment, something which is rare in videogames. You will then play as Claudia for the examination, choosing what to do to a patient who has been you until a moment before!
While the examination and visit are quite simple, no real skills are necessary and they almost play out by themselves, I believe you'll have some fun exploring this unusual case and its very rare finding, all by reading through dozens of nice and real conversations between the two loved characters. Physician Heal Thyself will play with other romances as well, while the examination itself will change some of those dialogues and might even trigger jealousy in other romantic interests. Keep following our devlogs for more! It was very funny to develop this event, so I think you will have much fun playing it! Be safe and healthy,

Claudia's Romance: Birthday Dinner As anticipated earlier 0.0.24 will feature many events involving Claudia and the doctor's romance with her.
Today we're going to show you a few screenshots of one of those events: the birthday dinner. Claudia is born on February and she wants to have dinner with you for the occasion! Everything's settled and this can be an opportunity to spend some time with her! Depending on your previous choices, you can dine with her like a brother/cousin (and your mother will join you in that case), like a friend (Bob and Alex will join you in that case) and finally as a love partner (Alex will join you alone).
During the event you will have a conversation with the characters who are attending it, and your choices will again have consequences in your relationship with Claudia from that point forward.
Conversation between you and Alex will change depending on your relationship with her mother, for example, while Bob might not like you sharing his family's secrets with his daughter.
Your mother, on the other hand, might like you sorting everything out with Claudia in the first place, and your choices during the "Christmas' Eve's party at Claudia's" will play their role in conversations with her as well. General Practitioner is a game where choices really matter, not only while examining a patient and trying to save his life, but also when your (private) life's at stake.
What are YOU going to do? What will be the outcome of your relationship with Claudia? Play 0.0.24 and you'll find out!

Hello guys!
It's been a while since I posted news about the game's development (well, not so much but I'm usually faster in releasing news), and that's because I underwent a big deal to deliver as much updates in-game as possible. While work on 0.0.23 is undergoing as planned, we're also working to contents for 0.0.24 ("No Ordinary Family") as well, and those of you who read the roadmap to the final release will already know this means... "Claudia content!" 0.0.24 will feature a full romance playthrough with her, from the start of your relationship until its ending(s), based on your choices along the way. This also means that the game will end on April 30th, which is the last in-game day for the full release coming up on December. Of course activities from January to April will only be based on Claudia right now, but with each upcoming update this will change and all the other characters will be included as well!
Many gameplay features will be revealed in the upcoming weeks, but today I can introduce you to three different mechanics: jealousy, poligamy and household activities! Jealousy is conceptually linked to poligamy: many players asked to be able to date more than one character at once. That will be possible, even though for gameplay reasons you will be able to live with one person at a time, while also dating others though. Each character will then have a chance to "catch you red-handed" and behave accordingly. For example, if you are dating Rita and bring Christina to a date to the Icecream shop Rita's working in... well, you are not very smart! However, even walking on the beach might trigger a random encounter with your (other) significant one, possibly leading to an argument thereafter. Each character will react to this in his/her own different way. Erika might be understanding of you having a coffee with your relative, while Vanessa might understand your bond with Erika (after all you're working together), but Claudia might not like Rita at all and argue with you about her.
It's up to you to explore the different combinations, while also keeping an eye about your relationship with your significant other. If relationships falls too much you might be dumped and find yourself masturbating alone in your bed in no time!
Yes, because among other "household activities" you'll also be able to masturbate to get sexperience and more! The old "Relax" button will be replaced with a "Stay at home" button which will open up a new series of activities to perform at home:

• Relax to regain energy
• Play a musical instrument to increase your charm
• Spend some time with your romance (if living together)
• Study Medicine to increase knowledge
• Masturbate
• Have a shower
• Watch TV
• Watch a porn movie (choosing the genre from six different ones to meet your romance's taste which you have to guess)
• Play a videogame

An update for General Practitioner is available for download!

• Fixed a very rare issue with Rita's path, causing the romance to stop progressing if you played Elisa's chapter before Rita while Rita was already your girlfriend but before her "Spa" date took place. Savegames affected by the issue are automatically fixed, you can call Rita by phone to progress her romance path (provided all other prerequisites are met)
• Fixed Robyn's Codex entry to show her correct ID (7905440929)
• Mark's exam is now accessible from the Exam Mode and by choosing his ID on the computer
• Exam room's computer will now check if you hired the prerequisite Doctor to perform examinations where that staff member is needed
• A lot of consistency / grammar fixes throughout the game
• Erika won't take days off anymore. She simply doesn't want to be anywhere but at the clinic.
• Selma's examination of legs is now correctly featured as "Not Available" and won't subtract points when not performed
• An alarmingly high number of statements had the "'" symbol replaced by three question marks (???). This was caused by a faulty string-replacement software we used recently, which wasn't able to recognize UTF-8 coding. That's been fixed now. Sorry for any discomfort this might have caused.

A new update for General Practitioner is available to download!

• Fanny's and Chloe's examination are again available in Exam Mode
• Random Child Patient #5 has been redesigned from scratch and now doesn't suffer from irsutism anymore
• Random patient's parent won't be always male anymore. There's now a 50/50 chance to choose the parent's gender.
• The stats screen now shows monthly Clinic's Equipment Bills just below monthly wages
• Claudia's wage has been reintroduced in the game. Beware that she takes $15000 each month. While you cannot fire her and she won't quit her job, your relationship with her might suffer if you're not able to pay her wage.
• Claudia's work is now accounted for every day if you hired her. You cannot fire her and she won't quit the job after you chose to accept her in the clinic after meeting Bob in the story. Claudia's stats are as follows: - Energy = 7 - Medical Knowledge = 6 - Skill = 6 - Attitude = 7 - Experience = 6 - Loyalty = 8 (she won't quit the job regardless of monthly payment)
• Added a "Next page" icon to the Medical Personnel's roster screen
• Added Claudia's infos on the Medical Personnel's roster

Today's devlog will focus on explaining how we're trying to do something different with each examination. This is indeed a key points in developing the game, as no one would like to play and repeat the very same actions 96 times with only different characters and words. You might have already noticed how each scripted exam (random exams are less likely to be different given their own nature) differs a bit from the others. Some might show available diagnostic tools which others are missing (e.g. the "Ophtalmoscope" in Monique's first exam), while others might show unique situations which will require a different approach to the patient (Clara, Maryanne, Kamil just to list some). This is actually quite important and more of them will come in future updates of the game, since we're over halfway through developing the game and the latest updates are coming out. In 0.0.22, for example, you can expect to see four unusual kinds of examinations involving Erika and the three doctors you might have hired to work for you. Examinations with Borelli, Kaplan and Poulsen have already been released in the past, but the gameplay around them was quite similar to the one you had before where you had to choose the examination and maybe confront them about it, but they were leaving you in charge of it, no strings attached. The examinations introduced in 0.0.22 instead will have THEM to lead the exam, to choose what is important and what isn't to do (even though you will have the final word as you're the Clinic's Chief) and they will decide which prognosis to release and which prescriptions to write down. This will change some of the exams in the game for many reasons, the first one being of course you won't be able to play such exams if you haven't hired them (except for Erika's of course) even though 0.0.22 will have you test them out regardless (this freedom will be removed in 0.0.23). The most important change though is that your relationship with such characters will change according to your behavior during their exams. As they are the caregivers for the patients they won't like you to interfere with their approach, even though they might be wrong. It's up to you to decide to intervene or not, and what's more important betweeen your relationship with your co-workers and the clinic's reputation. Also, upcoming updates will see the return of some patients you already met earlier in the game. They will remember what happened during their previous exams, and your experience with them might be a little different as a consequence (good or bad it might be). That's for scripted exams though, as like I said random exams won't have this kind of option since they already need to face too many variables to keep consistent with the rest of the game. That's why Random Exams will get their own dedicated mini-game in a few updates! Since random exams will end their development cycle in 0.0.23 with the release of Elder Patients, it will be less likely to meet children or teenagers than it is now. Moreover, each time you will meet the patient, before the visit starts, you will have to check their patient's ID card, similar to the one you are seeing before each scripted exam.
Inspired by the renown indie game "Papers, Please" you will need to look for any issues with your patient's Medical ID Card, which includes expiry date, stamps, authorities authorizations, insurance status etc. It will be up to you how to deal with each of those inconsistencies, if any. Will you perform the exam "pro-bono"? Will you send the seriously-ill back home? Will you alert authorities? This is another layer of gameplay to Random Exams, I hope you'll enjoy it once it gets released! That's it for this devlog! Remember to check out our new upcoming Visual Novel "The Coroner Saga" on Steam if you haven't already! Looking forward to hear your comments about this! Be safe and healthy,

Starting today and until February 11th you can grab a copy of General Practitioner and have a chance to play the game at a discounted price (20% off)! Get involved in the daily routine of The Doctor, meet new people, share his difficulties in managing the clinic with a budget that doesn't seems enough and help whoever you can to solve their health issues! With the next major patch releasing on February 27th which will complete the Random Exams by adding elder people, this is the perfect time to jump into St. Mary's Clinic and meet the awesome people in there!

An update for General Practitioner is available for download!

• Fixed an issue with Helena's ultrasound exam making it impossible to test her blood if you referred her to another clinic
• Buying the blood exam device now detracts 3000$ as it should
• Fixed an issue in Robyn's exam that blocked her abdominal exam even if her shirt was removed
• Fixed an issue in Chapter 3 that prevented Erika from being recognized as your girlfriend if you chose her to be
• Owning a car will now grant you the +15 bonus to fatigue when moving around town
• Medical discharge orders and prescriptions for Crohn's Disease (Random Exams) were inaccurate. They have been fixed.

An update for General Practitioner is available for download!

• Fixed some issues with "Missing images" during dialogues
• Fixed a point malus in Anne's examination for not performing a blood test, which is not available
• Fixed Anne's examination's urinalysis not being recognized as performed when it was
• The "Skip to Chapter 9" event when choosing "Skip to next event" has been removed since it was corrupting saves by resetting the chapter if it was already started. Since it isn't intended for a chapter to restart at any time and that was the only chapter involved, you will need to progress up to that point by your own, without being able to "fast skip" to it. This happens because Chapter 9 can be played differently depending on the choice on who has to help the doctor with the murder case.
• A vital signs check has been added to Monique's examination
• Fixed an issue with Karen's exam assigning malus or bonus for examining the legs (not available) instead of extremities (which are the right exam to do)

An update for General Practitioner is available for download!

• The game will now warn the player it is about to end two days before it happens and then again one day before, giving the chance to save the game before that happens.
• Fixed an issue with Fanny's exam being repeated when going to the hospital. You might need to re-do the exam one last time to restore full functionality.
• Buying something in the shop won't cause the game's rollback feature to stop working anymore

• Fixed an issue when conversating with Rita when she's living with the Doctor. She will now be available for a new conversation and you can now unlock her Netorare event.

Triage is a process that is critical to the effective management of modern emergency departments. Triage systems aim, not only to ensure clinical justice for the patient, but also to provide an effective tool for departmental organisation, monitoring and evaluation. Over the last 20years, triage systems have been standardised in a number of countries and efforts made to ensure consistency of application. However, the ongoing crowding of emergency departments resulting from access block and increased demand has led to calls for a review of systems of triage. In addition, international variance in triage systems limits the capacity for benchmarking. Triage is an essential element of modern medical care as it is necessary to assign relatively scarce resources to unlimited medical needs. Such assignments become necessary where there is a mismatch in quantum, time or location between the medical needs of patients and available resources. In emergency medicine this mismatch relates to the timeliness of care and relative resource availability. Emergency medicine, like military medicine, has little control over the rate and number of presentations. Although patient numbers are predictable at the population level, they are not predictable at the individual level. Further description of workloads by triage categories adds weight to the predictability of patient populations. In addition, major events can lead to sudden overwhelming demand. Triage in emergency healthcare is a continuous process, but is also emphasised at key points in the continuum of care. These points include extrication from the scene, on arrival at the ED, upon admission to hospital and on presentation to operating theatres. Triage systems are designed to serve the value of human life and health with fairness and the efficient use of resources. They do this by determining who will not be disadvantaged by longer waiting times and who requires immediate attention to achieve optimal outcomes. The need for triage is enhanced by the growing imbalance between needs and resources resulting from the twin challenges of access block and growing demand. If you read the announcement all the way here, you might be wondering what's the point in this... Well, you'll know in a few days if you keep following the game's news! Be safe and healthy,

In order to celebrate the game's introduction of mods (the first of which are coming in a few days!), we decided to give you a chance to play the game at a discounted price (15% off)! Get involved in the daily routine of The Doctor, meet new people, share his difficulties in managing the clinic with a budget that doesn't seems enough and help whoever you can to solve their health issues! With the next major patch releasing on January 25th and Random Exams which are almost completely developed this is the perfect time to jump into St. Mary's Clinic and meet the awesome people in there! The offer will be available until Monday, January 28th!

An update of General Practitioner is available to download: - Fixed a crash occurring when examining a random child's back (missing image) - Fixed Workshop images that were missing their correct placement. Now all archetipes for modders are again available to use. Existing in development ods won't need any update to work properly other than this. - Fixed a rare issue in Selma's examination that caused the game to crash - Fixed a small typo in Robyn's undress options - Fixed an issue that sometimes prevented to talk with Elisa for the Merry Christmas Event It was reported a bug during Robyn's examination not showing the correct amount of points earned. This is not a bug but it's working as intended. The "Examination Review" screen is related to the Medical Board's score, i.e. the way you performed the examination according to the Board's guidelines. Every other interaction with the patient (every patient in the game) might or might not affect your score in its own way, thus improving the overall result of the examination itself. Those are not present in the examination review screen but will affect your performance in an unknown way. This has been made to simulate real life as best as possible, where a doctor who made the perfect examination on a patient could find situations where that's not enough. Likewise a doctor who performed less examination than it was necessary could get a very good reputation just because of his social skills (this also happens). This also applies to the same report about Kiko's examination. Thank you for playing the game! Be safe and healthy!

An update for General Practitioner is available to download! - Fixed a rare crash during EEN exams conducted on Random Examinations - Fixed a crash in Andrew's examination - Fixed a rare crash during examination review calculations - Removed the option to undress Monique down to pants as it wasn't intended to be present - "Help" Menu is no longer clickable while on Codex Screen (in development) - Dr. Poulsen stopped hanging girls choosing instead to hang out with them, which is acceptable Thank you for playing the game! Be safe and healthy,

Today is a day full of news for the General Practitioner universe with the introduction of the Steam Workshop and mods! Have you ever wished to play your favourite House/ER/Grey's Anatomy episode in the General Practitioner setting? Now you can use the tools we made available to achieve just that. Or you can develop your own medical exam to play whenever you wish! The tools and instructions we're delivering today are pretty basic, but advanced modders can do whatever they like with the game if they wish. Playing modded examinations add new layers to the game experience and if this will be successful it will also add many hours of gameplay as well! You can find infos, instructions and downloadable tools on General Practitioner's website at this link: https://www.generalpractitionergame.com/mods.html Please note that as the game is still in Early Access even the modding functionalities are in Alpha stage, this means you'll need to have some patience while we fix anything that could be wrong in the game's functionality about custom content. Instructions also cover how to release a mod and how to make players install it. Since Ren'Py, the Engine we use to program Visual Novels isn't compatible with the Workshop libraries users will require a manual install, which is pretty easy to do if you're into modding. For any inquiry and to report bugs please reach us at bugs@brunimultimedia.com. Ren'Py forums have no means to support our game so we are the only official source for modding the game, with the Steam Workshop's own forum of course. You can use whatever means of delivering your mods as you wish, the Steam Workshop is just the easiest way to do so but mods will be compatible regardless of where they come from. We hope you'll enjoy the game and we can't wait to see what the community will do with mods! Be safe and healthy!

Greetings guys! As promised today I want to share some big news with you: the upcoming release of a new Bruni Multimedia project - The Coroner Saga. This is a separate project from General Practitioner, a different team of few but very dedicated people are actually working on it so this isn't going to change the scheduled release of General Practitioner in any way (by the way, you can take a look at the game's roadmap here: https://steamcommunity.com/games/936960/announcements/detail/1701693602812076371
What is The Coroner Saga (TCS)? It's an otome Visual Novel, a smaller project compared to General Practitioner and an episodic-release one as well. Each "Season" of TCS will be made of 6 episodes, each varying in gameplay lenght of about 5-6 hours and with many different romance options and endings. It is also a very interesting and well written story, having award-winner author JD Glass as Lead Writer for the project (someone might recognize her from her work on Voltage Entertainment's Visual Novels as well as many other works). The Visual Novel will also be available on Japanese with fully-translated interface and game. Other translations will be available if there's enough interest in the project as well. As for General Practitioner, a Patreon crowdfunding is also established for TCS with specific rewards for pledgers, and if a certain goal is met translations will be implemented for TCS. The Coroner Saga features:

• An original Otome Visual Novel written by award winner JD Glass
• Adult gameplay with realistic sexual situations and medical-related nudity
• Full HD graphics (1920x1080)
• 6 six-hour-long episodes for Season 1
• Different choices and routes will bring you to different outcome in the story, changing not only the single episode but the whole season's experience.
• Real medical content and scenarios written in collaboration with a real medical doctor who already worked to our Early Access Visual Novel General Practitioner
• 6 different murder cases to solve. Each case will have you work in a simulation-minigame to find the correct clues.
• Choose your gameplay: Vanilla for the game without adult content or Story for the complete experience
• Original 10-tracks Soundtrack
• Stunning user interface developed by Graphic Designer Laura "Sasquatchii" Henderson
• Full Japanese Translation
• Available for PC, MAC, Linux (Android Devices in Q4 2019 as well)

• New Bruni Multimedia Website (www.brunimultimedia.com)
• General Practitioner dedicated website (www.generalpractitionergame.com)
• The Coroner Saga dedicated website (www.thecoronersaga.com)

An update of General Practitioner is available to download! * Fixed an issue that made it impossible to meet Clara at the park after her examination. If you already met Clara it's enough to load a save game to fix the problem. * Fixed an issue that made it impossible to talk to Rita about the Christmas Dinner. You can now meet her at home and talk to her about it. * Fixed the doctor's image not showing in some particular dialogues * "Bedwetting" random examinations now properly feature all available checks * Changed how staff members increase or decrease the clinic's fame: - A loss of 2 fame is now a loss of 1 - A loss of 3 fame is now a loss of 2 - A loss of 5 fame is now a loss of 3 - A loss of 8 fame is now a loss of 4 - An increase of 2 fame is now an increase of 1 - An increase of 3 fame is now an increase of 2 - An increase of 5 fame is now an increase of 3 * Whenever you happen to lose more than 10 fame due to worker's behavior the Medical Board can intervene to prevent the damage from spreading over 10 points. If you choose to do so this will cost you 250$. * Icons over Morgan's examination have been reset to their proper position * The Doctor won't suffer from dissociative personality disorder anymore when conversating with Elisa at home ("I had trouble telling Elisa that you live here now!" - "Oh, that's a shame and... wait! I AM ELISA you dumbass!") * The Medical Board in Stephany's exam won't tell you her breast exam was unnecessary since she suffers from breast pain * Fixed an issue with the "Next Event" button screwing up calendar days. While this issue is not gamebreaking, although it might confuse some players as weekdays are no longer aligned when using the button, unfortunately saved games affected by it cannot be restored to their proper functionality unless the player actually skips to the next event again (if possible). We apologize for any discomfort this might cause. * Fixed the "Language/Game Mode screen" being unclickable * It is now possible to opt-in or opt-out from Analytics from the "Language/Game Mode" menu Thank you for playing the game! Be safe and healthy,

Hello guys! This is the last day of the year and it's time to recollect what was achieved over Bruni Multimedia's project in this year, and have a first look of what's coming up next year as well!

• Random Examinations were released on March, making a first step to an almost countless replayability once they end their development in a few weeks with 0.0.22 update. Random examinations' development was made possible by Patrons pledgers who supported the game and made this goal achievable.
• We celebrated our first anniversary of development on General Practitioner on May. A special edition of the game was released for Patrons only which contained a sexual examination of pregnant Elisa and Erika. Some of the assets for that exam, which was dropped in August update, were re-used for the real Elisa examination
• Game's development became hindered in June, since I had become badly ill and couldn't work for the whole month. This meant the update scheduling suffered a change while it also gained an increase of the overall content.
• We officially launched the Early Access on Steam on October. This helped us to dramatically increase the player base of the game and its community. That allowed us to better understand game's mechanics, sort out bugs faster and re-draw those parts of the game which were not working at all.
• We are making the game moddable by the Steam Workshop, adding more layers of customization to players who might like to play the examination they always wished to play since they first tried the game.

• JD Glass - Lead Writer of the upcoming Visual Novel (details next week!)
• Avery Flannigan - Writer and Japanese Adaptator
• Laura "sasquatchii" Henderson - Graphic Designer and Lead Artist
• Ann Sharova - Lead Composer for General Practitioner

An update for General Practitioner is available. * Fixed an issue that started a random examination after a sex scene with Elisa * It's no longer possible to date Elisa by phone when she's already living with the Doctor (that was never intended to happen) * It's no longer possible to date Erika by phone when she's already living with the Doctor (that was never intended to happen) * It's no longer possible to phone Claudia when she's already living with the Doctor (that was never intended to happen) * There was an issue with Elisa's sex scene in Seattle which prevented her to become pregnant. That's been fixed but unfortunately might require players to replay that scene. We apologize for any discomfort this might cause. * Elisa's husband name during her conversation is now correct * Fixed a crash during the 5th conversation with Elisa at home * Fixed an issue that prevented Medical Imaging to be correctly performed on some random examinations * Fixed an issue that subtracted points for not taking an Urinalysis on Julie. Urinalysis is not meant to be available for her case. * Breast exam on Stephany is now correctly marked as "Irreplaceable" instead of "Wrong" * Fixed an issue with the "Daily Report" screen not showing every staff member hired at the clinic (Claudia is still missing, that's a known issue) * The Stats Screen now correctly shows the number of completed examinations * Fixed a rare bug that showed the label "girl" as "[rep_girl]" Thank you for enjoying the game! Be safe and healthy,

Another update of General Practitioner is available. Sorry about not releasing this earlier with 0.0.10 but it was a newly-reported bug which I needed to replicate on my own playthrough. * Fixes a savegame corruption and crash after you spend time with Rita. The game won't loop to a random examination after the sex event nor will it crash to desktop. * It is no longer possible to call Rita by telephone while you are already living with her (this was never intended to be possible in fact) The game will restore your corrupted save when you load the game. There a small chance that, if you saved prior to a date with any character, the date won't happen. This was the only way to fix the savegame, you just need to ask for a date again. Thanks for enjoying the game! Be safe and healthy.

An updated version of General Practitioner is available: * Abdominal exams in random examinations will now disappear if a player already chose them * EEN examination was showing the text about "Back examination". That was corrected * Fixed a typo on the Urinalysis portion of the examination review screen * Changed Monique's exam point attributes to each examination to balance the overall score * Fixed a crash in Beatrix's exam's urinalysis * Fixed a very rare crash in Stephany's exam Thanks for enjoying the game! Be safe and healthy!

GENERAL: We recommend starting a new game if you're experiencing issues regarding the game's behavior with Elisa's pregnancy and her overall story. If you pursued another story saved games are compatible. * Bug fixing - Fixed an issue with skipping to the next exam not alerting players when they needed to pay wages before skipping to the event. - Isidro Ingram took Dr. Paulsen place again. He has been told again not to do it anymore * "Medical Conditions" Codex Pages have been reorganized into a single one in alphabetical order. You can scroll down the list of ailments until you find what you were looking for. * Blood exam's images have been replaced * Added support for the upcoming Steam Workshop experimental branch. More than 230 high quality images have been added to the game as well. * Google Analytics has been implemented in the game and will monitor your progress in the game. With this information, we can understand how players play the game. This might be useful to discover unreachable paths, create fan material, and of course, answer the eternal question: Who is best girl? Of course, some users won't want to be tracked, so the framework is controlled by a preference that the user is prompted for when starting a new game or loading an earlier save. Thanks to those of you who will share their playing style. Of course each record is completely anonymous. GAMEPLAY: * Animations have been added to the game's sexual events! You can access the first batch of animations in the following situations: - Having sex with Erika while she's your girlfriend and roommate - Having sex with Rita while she's your girlfriend and roommate - Having sex with Kiko the first time you meet her at her place and you choose the right conversation options EXAMINATIONS: * New exam available (#51): Jennifer. You can access her exam via the waiting room either by clicking on her or by typing her ID (7313978851) or by going to the Exam Room after December 2nd * New exam available (#52): Cecelia. You can access her exam via the waiting room either by clicking on her or by typing her ID (3839406052) or by going to the Exam Room after December 10th * New exam available (#53): Chester. You can access his exam by typing his ID (4919697253) or by going to the Hospital after December 12th STORY: * Chapter 11: "Merry Christmas" is available. The game will inform you that a new event (Christmas' Eve at your relative's house) is available starting from December 8th. To start the event you will need to either spend time with your romance in your house or phone them if you don't live with them. If you have no romance in place the event will play with your relative instead. OTHER: * The game will end on December 31st or after the "Merry Christmas" chapter Known issues: * "After-exam" sexy scenes for story mode are in development * Nolan has no character box * Stats review shows 1 girlfriend even if you have more * New Clothes for Erika is still an in-development feature. I'm still thinking about it in the actual gameplay. * Nolan's exam will be completely re-done in a future update

Steam Winter Sales have begun and they'll give you a chance to grab General Practitioner retail edition on a discounted price for all platforms! This discount also applies on other resellers of course, as well as on our Patreon Page! Your support is the best way to ensure we keep entertain you with our project, as the way to the final release is still long and many, many new features are always planned and released! Also, keep in touch for some MAJOR announcements regarding both General Practitioner and two new project we're working on with our staff (yeah, this "staff" stuff (!) is part of the news as well!) So what are you waiting for? It wasn't easy to convince Erika to dress as Santa's sexy helper, show her your affection! Be safe and healthy,

The upcoming release of General Practitioner will feature "cars and motorcycles" available for the Doctor to buy and own. While I'm still in the process of balancing cost/effect of each one I can already tell which models will be available at release. With Cars and Motorcycles you'll be able to choose how the Doctor will move throughout the city. The first effect will be less energy drop when moving of course. The better the car/moto the better effects you'll earn month after month. Some cars will also unlock special scenese with your romantic interests, so be warned :D Cars and Motorcycles will feature:

• Public Transportation System
• Cheap Car
• Convertible Car
• Sports Car
• Elite Racer
• Standard Motorcycle
• Road Eagle Motorcycle (shown in the preview picture).

Hi guys!
No, I'm not gone, on the contrary I'm deep in developing some nice additions you'll experience in a few weeks! First of all thanks to a new computer I'm now able to process many more images, this also gave me the chance to actually do some consistent progress with releasing both Adult Random Exams and Steam's Workshop Integration as well! In a few days you'll be given video instructions on how to develop your own medical exam and make other people play it, as well as downloadable files pre-set for accomplishing that! I also underwent some serious re-development on Random Examinations. I corrected the coding of the exams which was a mess. Since I keep learning about Ren'Py programming and tricks every day I often retrace my steps and improve the coding. That's also helping A LOT in releasing faster content in the future, since I have less code to rewrite all the time (I'll soon release a DEVLOG which will explain my programming techniques for those of you who are interested in this kind of things). New random exams are less likely to crash, have questions which remain unanswered during the interviews, have less chance to mismatch the pronouns' gender and also had their point-award-system reviewed, so you won't get points from doing/not doing a certain exam (it's very difficult on random ones since you might honestly don't know which problem is from the very beginning). You will be rewarded or penalized based on your anamnesis, prescription and discharge order instead. This will also be the method to grant points for the "Workshop Exams" for two main reasons: 1- It's not easy for a non-doctor to actually decide if a certain exam is needed or not and in which grade (1 to 5) it is either. 2- This way a modded exam is less likely to penalize players too much, even though very high points awarded are somewhat cheating in some way. "Scripted exams" will stay the way they are, since players' feedback is supporting them this way even though some complain about exams being too difficult. While some are indeed difficult that's intended as no one ever said a doctor's job ought to be easy. Finally you'll start to see some "Animated Sex Scenes" in the game, starting with Erika sex scenes and progressing to other characters as well. The plan here is to animate every sex scene in the game with 5-6 animations each and then to add animations to other situations as well. Do not expect a full animated game as this is still a Visual Novel of course, but I'm confident you'll like what's in store for you with animations and the like of them. Developing all these features is very hard and it's taking me a very long time, that's why 0.0.21 release hasn't been announced yet, but expect it to be ready in January for all Patrons. Trying very hard to release a polished version and this requires A LOT of testing and even then I can't really be sure about the results, since the different choices/consequences in the game are so many, but I'll do my best as I always do. The features I just described will be released with 0.0.20, except maybe for the Random Exams, which as a matter of fact have been included in 0.0.21 in the recent Road Map I posted. And thank you, thank you very much for taking your time to read through this wall of text. tl;dr Animations and Steam Workshop are going to be released in a few days! Be safe and healthy!

An update for General Practitioner is available to download. - Fixed a rare crash in Madalyn's and Beatrix's exams. Thanks for enjoying the game! Be safe and healthy

An update for General Practitioner is available to download. - Fixed an issue with Kenny's examination repeating more than once - Fixed a crash in Kenny's examination - Fixed an issue in Christina's phone conversation where she was addressed as Chloe instead - Added a label to explain that Christina's dinner date is still not available in the game in its current release Thanks for enjoying the game! Be safe and healthy

Next update of General Practitioner will focus on a day at your relative's house for Christmas' Eve.
While the day will have two major events planned, the second one took many hours of writing because it actually tells you something more about every character, with the exception of the doctor for obvious reasons (one might want to see himself in the Main Character while others would like to imagine a completely made-up backstory for him, so hints about his life will be given while trying to keep them soft). You will get to know your romantic interest very deeply as personal questions will be asked and different situations will likely to be discovered, even about their past lives before meeting The Doctor. You will also get to know Bob (your brother-in-law) better and discover that he's not the usual bad guy who does what he does 'just because', from actually being on short terms with her relative to pursuing his hidden agenda with shady people for unknown reasons (won't spoil about him anymore don't worry). I believe that one of the most difficult yet rewarding things about writing a novel is that every character has to be unique, and in General Practitioner you will often find that a character beliefs, what he/she likes or dislikes, their stories and even the phrases they say while having sex are hardly the same of another character. This means putting much effort in writing dialogues and scenes, and since many players won't play the game more than once many will also never read some dialogues or play some situations, but I believe that's the price to pay for having deeper characters than most adult productions and this will be a trademark for all of Bruni Multimedia's Visual Novels in time. Having an 'enemy' which has real motivations and who does what he does for a reason makes it harder to actually hate him or despise him, and I'd like some of the future choices in the game to be hard to take for some players because of that. That's why 0.0.20 update "Merry Christmas" is the longest one in terms of dialogues ever released yet and, even though it just has two different endings (no spoilers) on its own they will have consequences in the game's future in an unpredictable way. Have fun with the game!

You asked for them, they are coming to you! Listening to players' feedback we're introducing a new exciting feature to the game, starting somewhere between 0.0.22 and the Beta (can't be more specific right now, sorry). This is a very short preview video (concept art) of what's coming up on General Practitioner starting in 2019 before Beta hits the shelves. This is NOT an in-game video, it's just a concept art for the real thing to be developed. Enjoy and let me know what you think about it! WARNING: NSFW Link to Youtube video

An update for General Practitioner is available to download. - Fixed an occurrence in children's random examinations that made the game switch patient to a female. This only happened with male patients when the question about their symptoms was asked during their interview. You should load a save before asking that question for the fix to work properly, or load another patient. Thanks for enjoying the game! Be safe and healthy,

GENERAL PRACTITIONER 0.0.19 ALPHA RELEASE - "What happens in St. Mary's..." GENERAL: We recommend starting a new game if you're experiencing issues regarding the game's behavior with Elisa's pregnancy and her overall story. If you pursued another story saved games are compatible. !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 - Typo fixing - Code Optimization - Fixed an issue where a perfect exam showed no outcome in Paul's Examination - Fixed Daisy's exam not giving the appropriate points for a correct diagnosis - Fixed a small issue in Fanny's exam giving an incoherent reply to a question during her interview - Fixed an issue with Elisa's pregnancy test behaving erratically. - Fixed an issue that caused the days to behave erratically while skipping to next exam - Fixed an issue that made hard-working staff members take too many days off - Removed Medical Equipment requirements from Fanny's examination (it's performed at the hospital) - Fixed Fanny's fame point grant - Kiko's surname is Xuan and not Xhuan.

You can find patient's ID in their Codex. * You can now turn down Clara if you are not interested in having an affair with her during her sexual event * Added a suggestion on how to continue the story when you skip to August 2nd by using the "Next Event" button * Paul's after-exam sex encounter is now available - After the exam, if your score is high enough, you can phone Paul's mother Judith to pursue a sexual event with her * Selma's after-exam sex encounter is now available - After the exam, if your score is high enough, you can keep conversating with her to pursue a sexual event involving her boyfriend as well * Changed some conversations with Elisa in "Our Clinic My Baby" which resulted inconsistent with some of the choices made by Rita * Elisa will tell the Doctor he's the father if your relationship with her is high enough, else she will tell he's Greg's. Before this change she told the Doctor he was his child only if they were living together, which is inconsistent. * Skip to the update feature has been removed as it created more inconsistencies as the story gets bigger and bigger. You can use the "Skip to the event" button to play a faster game. * If you halted Rita's relationship after you told her about Elisa you can now phone back Rita after the paternity test to tell her about the results. * New conversations with Rita have been added if you chose her to live with you. * Added more conversations and sex scenes with your relative * In order to unlock Rita's Living Together conversations you now have to click on Rita's portrait in the "House Choices" screen rather then the "Relax" button as you did before. * Technicians now grant a -8 fame penalty in case of their Skill Test failure (from -20) * Technicians now grant a -5 fame bonus in case of their Skill Test success (from +10) EXAMINATIONS: * New exam available (#48): Selma.

You can access her exam via the waiting room either by clicking on her or by typing her ID (7190442949) or by going to the Exam Room after November 15th * New exam available (#50): Kenny. You can access his exam via the waiting room either by clicking on him or by typing his ID (6713489450) or by going to the Exam Room after November 20th * If you don't own some medical equipment needed for examinations the game will automatically have you send the patient to an external clinic to perform the test in your place. This will still grant bonuses and maluses according to the exam's true necessity albeit in a smaller amount. To do so every exam that required medical equipment has been modified to show the new conversation. The patient will also decrease his/her trust upon you since he/she will be disappointed that you lack equipment, although you won't lose any fame from this either. * The Medical Board will now tell you if one particular examination was necessary or not and why. This has been removed by the exam review final part. * Every patient will now recognize Mr. Xuan's agreement after you met him. The only exception for that are the "Tutorial Patients" (Rita, Clara, Paul) * An exam review screen has been added after an examination has ended. This replaces the long list of explanations that was sometimes confusing. - End Exam's explanations for each examination made have been deleted. The medical explanations have been replaced by a comment by the Medical Board. STORY: * What happens in St. Mary's story arc is playable. To play the story you will need to have Rita's story play out until she asks you about joining Jos for massages. That can be achieved by spending time with her whenever it's possible. Rita's path has also been integrated with Elisa's pregnancy story, so if you chose to let her know about the pregnancy she will react differently if the baby is yours or not, possibly disappearing completely from the game, thus saying farewell to the Doctor. The possibility of the Doctor to be Elisa's baby's father are listed in the "GENERAL" section of this changelog but requires you to follow Elisa path since Trip to Seattle Chapter. Claudia (your relative) story also mixes with Rita's and after the "Netorare/Cuckold experience" she will ask you to join you at your place to discuss your mutual feelings. Beware that this part of the story is only available in Story mode and not in Vanilla Mode. Your choices in this part of the game could also cause Rita to go away from you forever. This particular event isn't accessible via the "Skip to the Event" feature since it's tied to Rita's relationship and not to a game event. * Chapter 10 events will now start in October and not before, regardless of the sequence of story actions made by the player. Before this change inconsistencies in the game's script could have happened, even though in very rare cases. OTHER: * The game will end on December 31st. Known issues: * "After-exam" sexy scenes for story mode are in development * Nolan has no character box * Stats review shows 1 girlfriend even if you have more * New Clothes for Erika is still an in-development feature. I'm still thinking about it in the actual gameplay. * Nolan's exam will be completely re-done in a future update

Hi guys!
This last few months have been very intense from a development point of view. With retail release of the game and it getting bigger and bigger things are certainly improving for the game and it's time I update the old roadmap with this new one! You will see that I only indicate "Major features". This doesn't mean that other things won't be added (i.e. picture gallery, new items for the shop, improvements to gameplay etc.) but that you can expect some MAJOR changes in the game. Of course support to the game will always be present, new interactions and features will be present in the game even after its final release. Only consider this roadmap as a guide to what you can expect in each update of the game. Some more infos: - The project is bold but this goals can be achieved with both your support (both in terms of money and/or alpha testing) and with the new equipment we're going to use in development, thanks to your help! - I'm in the process of getting some extra help in developing the game either, so we can focus on closing this project without the need to hurry to deliver the perfect "General Practitioner" experience we always meant for you to play. - A new project will be announced in April but it won't start development until General Practitioner hits Beta. That's because while we need to plan ahead for our little indie enterprise to survive we also want to deliver a FULL game, not an incomplete one. Still, if you are curious about our new project, which we're sure you'll like, stay with us! Ask whatever question you like, without feedback every project, even Rockstar's RDR2 would've doomed to fail, this is especially true for small indie productions like ours. And now the roadmap of course:

Hi guys. This is the last Devlog for 0.0.19 update which is almost ready for retail release (supporters on Patreon for the crowdfunding of the game get to play it a few days ahead as a "thank you gift" for their support). Today I'm going to introduce you to some big changes in the game's user interface. Hearing your feedback made us re-think some gameplay elements and some were modified to become what they were always intended to be. The first modification is about the "Medical Conditions" Codex, which was split in different pages (A-C, D-F etc.) but it's now on a single page which allows the user to scroll down to their desidered topic.
This modification affects not only the gameplay but also the developing times since it's way easier for us to modify the Codex and write new entries while the game is developing. The second screen I'm introducing you is the "Stats Screen", which is now readable more easily and has three main sections for a quick look at the game's statistics and romances.
Some of you might have noticed that the "Quest Log" disappeared from that screen, but that's intended as it will have its own screen soon! Finally there's the "Exam Review" screen which was introduced a few days back. Work on it is completed and you can see the results down here:
That's it for this Devlog, I hope you'll like these changes, they meant a lot of work on our part :) Keep following us for more update about the game, and thank you for your interest in this project! Be safe and healthy!

Hi guys! A couple days ago Sinical Anime Network interviewed us about General Practitioner's launch on online Retail Stores and about the overall backstory of the game.
During our talk we discussed several topics about the game's development, from the very first idea of the project to how Patreon is currently managing the Adult Videogame Development's community. If you are a bit curious about it check the link above, and let us know your thoughts about this. :) Thank you for supporting the game! Be safe and healthy,

Hi guys! First of all thank you for trying out the game! Since General Practitioner landed on Steam and other retail sites the player's community has nearly doubled its original size and that's helping me A LOT to find out what's working with the game and what isn't. I'm receving a lot of feedback about the game and rest assured that I'm reading all of it, even improving the game as you are reading this announcement. However in a game as big as GP major updates are scheduled each month, even though as you might have noticed I'm also delivering smaller albeit very useful updates to fix the most important anomalies in the game, so you're getting a very dedicated support right now. Let's talk about the game's difficulty: well, let's clear something first: some scenarios are in fact "Kobayashi Maru" like ones. The tutorial says at some point that sometimes you cannot do a perfect exam AND have a patient completely satisfied for many reasons. You could also have an angry patient (i.e. someone who fears needles and you HAD to take a blood sample) while achieving a perfect score. That's perfectly working as intended and, as frustrating as it might be, it's a doctor's life. However some medical exams ARE having some issues and as you saw in the news I'm actually in the process of checking them ALL (50), even to balance things up. Older exams (the one released more than a year ago on crowdfunding sites) were the most inaccurate of course, but I hope this overhaul will adjust them. Also, the game is engineered to work as a trial and error one. You shouldn't worry too much about getting low averages and points. You (the player), like the MC (the Doctor) are learning together what it means and needs to be done as a GP and errors are normal, especially since most players don't have a MD. The game could tell you you performed bad but it will still continue and you will have learned something nonetheless. There are no achievements for having a "Perfect Score" on each exam and I'm not planning to introduce them for this very reason. You can perform the exam, save and load and try to make it 100%, but it's for your own pleasure as it was never meant to be the purpose of the game. Still, update 0.0.19 will have new Codex entries as to perform exams as well as new ways to get reviews from the Medical Board for each of them as you perform each exam. I hope this will clear things up. Please also remember that the game's Early Access also means that game mechanics NEED to be tested and the more players are out there trying the game the easier is for me to understand what is working and what isn't. And for that I'm very grateful to you. :) So, in a couple weeks a major update (0.0.19) will be released to you with many new hours of gameplay as well as a revised review of medical exams. I hope you'll keep enjoying the game and telling me what needs to be improved. You can clearly see the potential of the game, so help me reach that potential! Be safe and healthy,

One of the most challenging albeit both entertaining and rewarding parts of developing a game is to listen to the player's feedback about everything. And I usually take requests very seriously as in the case I'm announcing you today. In a few days I will complete an extensive overhaul (one of many which I already did and I will do in the future as well) of the Medical Examinations. Since this is one of the main features of the game it's quite obvious that it's going to take a deeper development and big improvements over time.
As you can see in the picture above the boring wall of texts which were present during the final review of the exam are going to be replaced by this screen, where you will be able to see every examination available in the game and its outcome. There's also a section to display points earned, your base income and total one, how much the agreement with Mr. Xhuan is going to cost you and how much you earned selling medicines yourself. Last section shows the Medical Board rating for the exam and the clinic's fame you lost or gained. But that's not all. One of the major complaints I receive are that without the proper equipment most exams fail and the player has no way to pre-determine this and to act in advance. This was originally intended to work like this as it would've simulated the damage occurred to the clinic by a lack of equipment and personnel, but I heard you when you said it was way too punishing for the player. Starting from the "Review screen" update (in 0.0.19 before it's final release) you will now be able to perform each exam even if you don't have the proper equipment for it. The game will have you refer the patient to an external clinic/hospital.
Of course you will lose some trust from the patient as she will be disappointed about the lack of equipment of the clinic but it won't affect your fame nor the outcome of the exam. These changes are huge since I had to make them on all 50 released examinations, but I think they are a necessary addition which will add to the fun and entertainment of the whole General Practitioner experience. Thank you guys! You're making General Practitioner great (again)! :D Be safe and healthy,

An update for General Practitioner is available to download. - Fixed a missing image issue in Beatrix exam - Fixed an uncommon issue in Monique's 2nd exam that caused the game to report an error - The stat screen no longer shows trust levels above 100, which is the intended maximum amount of trust for each character towards the doctor. - Removed a label during Erika's dinner date that wrongfully made players believe to be stuck in a loop - Fixed an issue during Rita's date at the Movie Theater that caused the date to switch to the pool without notice - Page 5 of the patient's Codex was a mess.

Are you curious about the upcoming 0.0.19 update of General Practitioner? What if you had the chance to preview it days before everybody else? We shall open the first "Screenshot contest" of the game! Instructions are very simple: - Post a screenshot you took from the game in the appropriate Section of the game community on Steam - Insert this comment: "1st Screenshot contest" on it - On November 4th the user whose screenshot which will get more likes will be contacted with a link to download the next update ahead of scheduled release. Every screen is allowed, even XXX-Rated ones (which of course may not be visible to everyone due to account limitations, so you might get less views with it, but it's up to you!) Have fun taking pics!

An update for General Practitioner is available to download. - Fixed an issue that made it possible to meet Clara at the Park even though she was never met at the clinic first. Thanks for enjoying the game. Be safe and healthy,

Hi guys! While always working for new features to introduce in General Practitioner, today I'll show you some screenshots of the upcoming 0.0.19 update of the game. You can find NSFW images in the "Screenshot" section of the game as well. I hope you'll keep enjoying General Practitioner as I keep enjoying working on it! :)

As release 0.0.19 is being developed, today I wanted to share the news about two new recurring patients, or patients who will return to the clinic after the first time you examine them. The first one which you discover in the game is Monique, as she needs to return to the clinic since her eye problem worsened overnight.
Another patient you should expect to see again is Katia, with her depression problems and two more will be added in 0.0.19: Kenny and Maryanne. Kenny is a police officer who's concerned about having Varicocele, a fairly common condition amongside law enforcement personnel. If untreated, varicocele could cause fertility issues. Depending on how you play his exam will determine if he will come back to the clinic, this time bringing her (hopefully) beautiful wife with him to be checked out.
The other patient is Maryanne, a 13-years-old girl who's basically asking for help with the situation in her family. This exam will make you face the often underestimated problem of child abandonment and its consequences. Your choice, and yours only, will determine the outcome of this situation and its consequences that will be brought over the next time you'll meet Maryanne and her family.
General Practitioner is like a doctor's job. It's made up of examinations, it's about meeting new people, it's about getting some knowledge about medicine and health-related topics... but it's also made of choices, and each choice will reflect on the game at some point. I hope you'll keep enjoying the game.

An update for General Practitioner is available to download. - Fixed an issue where Dr. Poulsen was instead referred to Nurse Ingram instead in the Daily Report screen - Fixed an issue with calling the Codex for Summer caused the game to crash - Fixed an issue where "Spend time with Elisa" tooltip was not disappearing properly - Fixed the position of the Sound Volume and Text Speed bars in the settings menu Thanks for enjoying the game. Be safe and healthy,

Hi guys. First of all let me thank you for the very good reception of the game on Steam. I can say the game has ben well received and the first reviews are coming in. I want or maybe even better I need your feedback about the game since this is an Early Access and feedback is the most important thing. Feel free to discuss the game in the discussions section and tell me about whatever bug or issue you're experiencing, if any. I also added a bunch of brand new screenshots, some NSFW and others for all audiences, to let you realize what kind of game this is and what you can find once you purchase it. Stay tuned for new Devlogs coming up real soon! Be safe and healthy,

The day has finally come and General Practitioner is in Early Access on Steam!
Thank you to whoever gives the game a chance, please remember that development is still ongoing and that you might find bugs here and there. It's extremely important you tell me about anything bad with the game either here on steam or by writing at bugs@brunimultimedia.com. The game has roughly 40 hours of gameplay available right now and many more are waiting for us in the future! Keep following the game's updates! Thank you, I mean it. Be safe and healthy,

Hi guys. Today I'll tell you about the new Medical Exams interface and overhauled "Exam Help" setting.
Whenever you choose a medical exam, being it from the brand new waiting room or by choosing a patient from the "Exam Mode" screen, the game will pop up an ID card for that patient, explaining the main characteristics of him/her such as ID (I'll come back to this right away), Difficulty, Type of Exam (Scripted/Random), Age and Ailment. The Difficulty is tightly related to the "Medical Aid" setting of the game.
With this setting enabled the game will help you diagnose a patient and choose the correct prescription for him/her, provided your character's Knowledge Level is at least as high as the number shown in parenthesis (in the above image 45). Difficulties for exams are:

• Very easy 5-20
• Easy 25-35
• Normal 40-60
• Hard 65-80
• Very Hard 85-95

• It allows replayability of a specific exam to score it 100% without having to reload every time
• It allows to boost one's money or relationships without the need for cheating
• It allows players to replay their favourite exams
• It allows players to play a specific exam they are curious about
• When releasing an update it allows players to play specific exams while still in story mode
• It paves the way for modding, as Workshop content's patients will have their own unique ID every creator will give them thus ensuring uniqueness for each one and compatibility between custom contents, it also allows to play custom content at will, both in Exam Mode and in Story Mode.

Hi guys! First of all forgive the pronunciation in the video :( The video above explains the brand new features that are going to be introduced with 0.0.19, the upcoming release of the game that will be announced next Friday! You will be now able to choose a patient from the Waiting Room (a resume of each patient will be added soon!) and not only meet them once they arrive one at a time to the clinic. This is made to improve the likelihood of working at the clinic. Also, the video hints at the new Steam Workshop feature (and not only there) which will make you mod the game introducing your own Medical Exams! The tool will be made so that you won't need to be a programmer to mod the game! These feature is very uncommon (if they even exist) on Visual Novels and I can't wait to see all your creations coming to the game! What do you think about these new improvements?
