Patch 2.1 will include improved graphics

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!

Become a General Practitioner
Live the everyday life of a General Practitioner: go to the clinic every day and meet new patients, develop your skills through study and manage your clinic and your staff. With dozens of items to buy and an always short budget will you be able to treat your patients in the best way?
Deep and engaging narration
General Practitioner features a very long and deep storyline which will take you in a world of mistery and deception. Explore the game's main story while enjoying the other activities available in town. The whole game contains more than 40 hours of gameplay and it's growing update after update!
You decide your own fate
Choices in dialogues and situations really matter! With more than 100 choices to make both in the Main Story and in medical exams you'll experience the consequences of your actions (and in-actions as well). You decide your own fate, do you have what it takes to be a General Practitioner?
Meet new people
The built-in romance system allows you to hang out with dozens of characters of both genders, jog with them at the local park, play a bowling game, relax at the local spa. If you are smart enough you can even make them fall in love with you and ask them to live together, unlocking special conversations and events with them.
You won't know if the date will go well or not, because that depends on fate (and your choices and comfort level of the other one). The more you build up your date's confidence the more chance of success you will have.
Each character you date has a pool different characteristics (i.e. people they like/dislike, favourite foods, informations about their family or job etc.). You'll randomly get to know a different characteristic each time a date will go well and, since they're random, they will be different each time you play General Practitioner or load a save game.
Each patient is different
With a pool of more than 90 scripted patients also comes a random examination system!
Simply put: each time you play the exams will be different. From a pool of 60 diseases and five different patient's archetipes (Children, Teenagers, Young Adults, Adults and Elders) you won't get the very same situation twice!
Medical accuracy
Developed with the help of a real MD, the game features medical informations that are accurate and up-to-date. Please do not take medical informations other than for having fun in the game. If you experience some medical concern ask your doctor as soon as possible.
Original Soundtrack
Ann Sharova (Zup6!, Just Ski, Ezmir: The Last War and many others) composed a soundtrack with 12 different scores to accompany you in your trip as Chief Practitioner of St. Mary's Clinic.
You can hear some work from Ann on her Youtube Channel , or on her SoundCloud . A Youtube reel is also available.
