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

Greetings fellow space officers! Some of you might have noticed the game was utterly removed from the Steam Store due to a copyright complaint from another developer who apparently registered the name "Yomi" (which is a common japanese word) accusing me to gain notice by siding its name to theirs, which I wasn't aware at all existed. I had to rename the game "STAR ALLIANCE" (which was the working title before its release) and the update I just released goes in that direction. I also opened an urgent ticket to Steam support in order to republish the game under the winter sales, since this damages me A LOT and puts me in a great trouble for the missing income for this top-selling game that's been published almost 3 years ago. I apologize for any trouble this might have produced and I hope you'll be able to buy the game once again very soon! ANDREA

An update for Yomi Alliance has been released. This update fixes the "neverending loop" some players experienced after week 17 in Academy, and it prevented to access the missions after it. It was very tricky to find the bug since it only happened if some choices were made during the game, causing an instruction over a few dozens to misbehave. I thank you for your feedback and constant help you gave me to find this bug allowing me to fix it. If you encounter any other issue, please send me a mail to bugs[at]brunimultimedia.com, I always reply to your envaluable feedback.

• Fixed an issue which, in rare cases, caused the game to loop after the first away mission

• General Bug Fixing
• Fixed an issue where some videos returned a crash before playing
• Fixed typos and dead ends throughout the game

Greetings fellow space officers! Today Yomi Alliance is out of Early Access after more than two years of development. As I stated in my previous announcement, I regret having to postpone this game for such a long time and with partial voice-over. Unfortunately the COVID and heavy family issues prevented me to release it earlier and I had to cut a few features, which will hopefully be implemented in a future DLC. The game, however, is complete, and so are the missions including the brand-new "Eye of God" featuring Alarei and the final confrontation with the Prophet and his followers, with a few surprises. I hope you'll enjoy the game as I enjoyed developing it. Does this mean we can't expect more updates in the future? No: Yomi Alliance will be updated with patches, bug fixes, new content and DLCs, both paid and free. Keep following the game's page and my website for future news! Have fun with the game, and thank you for supporting it! ANDREA

Greetings fellow space officers. First and foremost, Yomi Alliance is set to exit Early Access this month with the final missions and the conclusion of the main characters' tales. This project has been particularly unlucky since it was scheduled for a full release in June 2021, including a comprehensive voice-over by many talented artists led by Star Trek veteran Manu Intiraymi who is still working with us on this project. Despite this, Yomi emerged just as the Covid-19 pandemic was beginning, causing delays and a severe cash shortage that necessitated some cut features in order to bring the game out. I felt that the most essential aspect of a Visual Novel is the story, and I was behind schedule on that as well, owing to economic and financial challenges it had to overcome.. To make things worse, the disaster had a double edge: because of my previous work in other VNs and the general public following us, it was impossible to solely focus on Yomi release. The public following us appreciates General Practitioner and the other VNs as well, therefore I also had to develop something different at the same time. However, I had to make tough calls regarding the game and it will not be in Early Access for a long time, so I was compelled to eliminate the voice-over program and only feature Manu Mkrell's portrait in select dialogues. This pains me far more than you can imagine, but after two years of severe financial strain, I had to choose between releasing the game or leaving it permanently in Alpha Early Access. The in-game material will not be removed from the game's definitive version, except for voice overs: the tale will be concluded; numerous HD pictures and hours of gameplay will be included; bugs will be fixed, as well as new missions. I would like to express my gratitude for your support, as it allowed me to pursue this project! Thank you for continuing to support our games, I appreciate it very much. Thank you for keeping safe out there! Thank you for staying with us!

Greetings, fellow space officers! It has been a long time coming, but I am finally ready to unveil the new content for Yomi Alliance. This update is packed with new features that will take the game to the next level. Players can look forward to an all-new sci-fi visual novel experience, complete with exciting quests and storylines! I cannot wait to see what you all think of it.
In this brand new mission, you have been ordered to Rilvupra IV, a colony that is revered by many different species. The planet is a destination of pilgrimage for people from many different civilizations, and the problem lies there. Because various religions consider the location holy, there are numerous conflicts due to the differences in their beliefs. Tensions have recently grown worse. A more militant group of pilgrims has taken to violence, reasserting a new "Prophet" to guide them to Heaven, instead of the "False God" that is worshipped on Rilvupra. You'll see that the world is actually a highly telepathic self-aware entity that has come to the conclusion that it must be "the god" the people worship and that an holy apocalypse might help to resolve its crisis of faith, even by destroying the Kressari who claims to be the genuine "Prophet," and the Nixanti believing in their own God, Alarei.
Can you persuade the entity that it isn't a god, even though it appears to match the description of one? Can you prevent the galaxy from descending into all-out war? This is only the beginning of your journey. With new areas to discover and tales to hear, Yomi Alliance 0.0.26 is getting closer and closer to its Beta. Get onboard and assist the team! "The Eye of God" will be available in a few weeks! Keep following us!

An update for Yomi Alliance is available for download!
WARNING It is recommended to start a new game in order to avoid crashes and/or unexpected behavior with previously saved games, since many things have been introduced/changed. I apologize for any discomfort with this but since the game it's Beta I had to make a lot of changes to make the game work properly and in a way that as many players as possible enjoy every story introduced. After character selection you can choose to start a new game from the Academy OR go directly to play Jouret Station mission. The game will then give you the ability points needed for the mission: - 10 points each if you're playing Easy difficulty - 7 points each if you're playing Normal difficulty - 4 points each if you're playing Hard difficulty
Bug fixing

• Lots of bug fixing throughout the game Many bugs will still be present. Please remind this Early Access is in its Alpha release.

• New interactions with Sulijan in her quarters
• Added new dialogues after the Graduation Day
• Added new story chapter featuring Serena after graduation day
• Added new story chapter featuring Sulijan after graduation day
• Added new story chapter featuring Aberoin after graduation day

We recommend you try different saved games to enjoy every possible path. You could die in the mission, resulting in a game over, or you could fail completely but survive, in which case the Captain won't be pleased at all.

• More than 200 images have been added to the game.
• New HD videos have been added to the game
• You can now choose to pursue your romance interest aboard the ship or not, with the option of leaving your partner

Greetings space officers! Another batch of preview images for the newest update of Yomi Alliance is being shipped today! The game will be heavily patched against bugs as well. I am also considering to review part of the choice system throughout the game, as I would like to matter more on the story and its endings. This is something for the next announcements though, for now let's have a look of what's going to be going on in the near future!
Captain Marston's Log introduces the mission. Just a routine patrol
Sulijan will man the science station unless you chose the science career, in which case you will replace her on this screen and you will take an active role in scanning anomalies.
Update 0.24 introduces new characters and situations. Serena will be the first officer unless you chose the Command career
Improved lighting on images and more unique images will accompany you throughout the entire mission
The skills you mastered at the Academy will be useful for lots of tasks, which will determine how much you will understand of the story and a way to stop the Prophet (or fail to) I can't wait to deliver you this update, its bug fixes and its brand new stories! Thank you for your support!

Ship's Commander's Log. We are one week into a patrol of the Kressari border. Our Kressari friends continue to trail us on their side of the border, but there has been no sign of hostility. Being this close has the crew on edge, especially since it's the first assignment for many of them, but I have no reason to believe this will be anything other than ordinary. Ships Commander's Log, Supplemental. I may have spoken too soon. We have received a priority one message from the Alliance ordering us to the Joural system, just on the edge of the border, to lend assistance to a research base that has gone silent after sending out a disturbing message. Looks like our routine patrol is going to be anything but.
Located on the Joural System, the base is of little strategic importance to the Navy. The majority of the structure is on the port-side, including housing, recreation, and operations areas (including the shuttlebay). The starboard-side contains the research labs. Two surface tubes, just under 5km long, connect the two halves by a tram system.
Ship's Commander's Log, supplemental. The base is in chaos. The dead litter the halls and roaming bands of crazed crew are clearly responsible. A madness has taken hold of the Research base, caused by an unknown pathogen. Unless we can restore power, there is little chance of getting the situation under control.
Are the Kressari responsible? Is the event not connected at all with the Prophet's threat, as it looks like?

Greetings fellow officers! Today I'm announcing you the newest update for Yomi Alliance, which I'm working very hard and passionately to, which will also deliver you the first space mission outside of the Academy.
After the graduation event, which has been improved as well, you will embark on a journey aboard the Y.S.S. Oraga, as previously announced, and you will be tasked with answering a distress call from an alien vessel carrying Nixanti inmates who have escaped from a Kressari high-security compound.
As different career choices have been made, you will face different scenarios for each and any of them.

• As a Commander, help Captain Marston to deal with a Kressari Security starship without ending in a space battle. Manage your crew and their reactions and, if the situation escalates to violence, order battle stations
• As a Security guard, meet the Nixanti fugitives and assist Lt. Mkrell in making sure they're properly welcomed, while keeping security procedures ready and limiting their access throughout the ship
• As a Doctor, heal the fugitives' wounds and attend to wounded people in case of a starship battle
• As an Operations Officer deal with the ship systems and analyze the strange readings coming from the Kressari ship, which are doing something unusual over your computer
• As a Scientist, interview the fugitives with Captain Marston and try to understand if their claims are true
• As a Counselor, assist the fugitives' psychological needs and help them overcome the violence they suffered from their captors
• As an Engineer, try to study the fugitives' data banks and boost your own ship systems in case of a battle.

• A new, full mission with hours of gameplay with different paths for each career
• Finish the Academy storyline or jump directly to the new mission from the game's interface with pre-determined skill levels
• New interactions with your crewmates
• New story interaction with Jared, if you chose him to be your assistant
• More than 200 new high-res images and new lighting system for the ship's renders
• New uniform sets for male characters
• First of 10 missions which will take you to the final release of the game (Q4 2022)
• Sexy situations on the ship to explore
• Dozens of bug fixes

• Fixed a crashing issue during Inquiry classes while playing with Nixanti characters

An update for Yomi Alliance is available for download! WARNING Due to the big changes introduced in this update, it is mandatory to start a new game in order to avoid crashes and/or unexpected behavior with previously saved games. I apologize for any discomfort with this but since the game it's Beta I had to make a lot of changes to make the game work properly and in a way that as many players as possible enjoy every story introduced. I will try to keep the "game reset" as rare as possible, but this time a New Game is recommended. Bug fixing

• Various minor bux fixing
• Sulijan won't mention The Prophet during her romance interactions unless you actually met him
• Fixed an issue which prevented to choose the "Have sex" with Serena option in her quarters
• Fixed a crashing issue during Serena's flirting conversations

• Players will now be able to choose only a Major specialization. This has been done after analyzing the game's data and noticing that players didn't choose many different career options as expected. As a result, a lot of available content, mission and storytelling was missed by players who didn't replay the game more than once. To make the game more enjoyable (and to shorten update times), specializations are now Command, Medical, Security, Operations, Counseling and Science. Every available content is still in the game, even more accessible than before.
• You can now start a romance path with Mivak and unlock his "Flirt" option, provided you got enough Intellect and Relationship with him (45).
• Academy game weeks are now 20 (down from 24) to better balance the various chapters and skill gain before the starship part of the game

• New story chapter: "Reconstruct the Star Maps" added on week 8
• New story chapter: "Shipbuilding" added on week 9
• New story chapter: "Alien Diplomacy" added on week 10
• New story chapter: "The Drone" added on week 11
• New story chapter: "Tactical Maneuvers" added on week 12
• New story chapter: "Planetary Survey" added on week 13
• New story chapter: "Dealing with Serena" added on week 13, day 2 (if romancing Serena)
• New story chapter: "Interspecies Challenges" added on week 14
• New story chapter: "The Android Attack" added on week 15
• New story chapter: "The mutiny" added on week 15
• New story chapter: "Graduation" added on week 20, this chapter is still being worked on and will be improved in later releases
• New story chapter: "AetherGlass Corporation" added on week 7 (Command career only)
• New story chapter: "The Kolar Device" added on week 7 (Science career only)
• New story chapter: "Rebuilding the Academy" added on week 7 (Engineer career only)
• New story chapter: "Kressari Autopsy" added on week 7 (Medical career only)
• New story chapter: "Civilian Containment" added on week 7 (Security career only)
• New story chapter: "Damage Report" added on week 7 (Operations career only)
• New story chapter: "Fear and Courage" added on week 7 (Counseling career only)
• New story chapters related to Aberoin in the aftermath of the Prophet's attack, with an option to start a romance with hem

• It is now possible to "Have sex" with Sulijan provided you unlocked her story and relationship and have high enough Presence (9)
• Changed Marston's office CGI
• More then 100 HD images have been added, including sex scenes with Sulijan and flirting with Mivak.
• New in-game videos added (turn videos ON from the Settings menu to view them. Please note that you will need to meet the recommended specs in order to avoid framerate losses with videos ON).
• Added a sex scene with Serena in a sauna, and many flirting and sexual conversations with her as well.
• Flirting with Mivak is now possible

Greetings fellow space officers! As the newest update of Yomi Alliance is on its way to your pc, today I'm going to introduce you some new pictures of Graduation Day, and the starship Oraga, where the rest of the game will take place with awesome missions. After a couple flirting approaches with Serena, you will be able to date her in a sauna, and who knows what'll come up next with her!
Graduation Day is here. Paris Team will receive their ranks and commissions. Captain Marston is assembling a crew to deal with the Prophet and keep Alliance space safe. Will you be up to the task? Join Captain Marston as chief navigator under his direct command, or partner with Mivak as a junior engineer, or treat wounds side to side with Aberoin under Dr. Li's supervision. Whatever career path you choose, you'll be able to do a lot on the missions.
The Y.S.S. (Yomi Star Ship) Oraga is a Randi Class exploration cruiser. With a crew of 40 people it's one of the newest vessel in Alliance Fleet. Its crew is multicultural and made of both Yomi Founder species and not, including new races you never heard of before.
The main mission of the Oraga is to patrol Alliance Space to look for Prophet's activities, and to learn more about the ominous technology the Kressari is using to wreak havoc in space.
I hope you'll enjoy the newest Yomi Alliance content in the next few weeks, as there's more to come! Stay safe and healthy, ANDREA

Greetings fellow space officers. It has been a while since the last update for Yomi Alliance, and that's because of previously stated personal and family issues which I still have to sort out completely. Still, I have released two different games in the meantime and also an episode for The Coroner Saga (Episode 5 is on its way too and I have a huge, nice surprise for Episode 6 which will close the season). But we're here to talk about Yomi Alliance, today, and it's going to receive a HUGE update. I started to look at the game's data a few months ago and noticed that most of the players were not choosing many careers as I thought. Most of you stick with the most "famous" ones, and this led to many, many hours of scripting and gameplay that was not ultimately enjoyed unless you replayed the game again and again, which is very unlikely according to the stats. So I decided to remove sub-careers and make only primary ones available, such as:

• Command
• Science
• Security
• Operations
• Counseling
• Medical
• Engineering

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. Some of you might already be aware of it since it was present on itch.io and Patreon for a while, albeit in a pre-release status with 3 episodes out of 6. 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.
ANDREA

Greetings fellow space officers! This announcement is to inform you that the next patch is still work in progress: it is one of the biggest update released for the game, and I'm taking all the necessary time to deliver it to ensure it's as bug free as possible. With 10 brand-new, class-specific missions to read through, new interactions with Mivak (and a complete romance with him for male characters too!), new HD images, the road to "Graduation" update which will mark the start of the second part of the journey, the addition of new lines for both Mkrell and Sulijan played by amazing actors Manu Intirayimi and Lana Leslie, I'm sure you'll like Yomi's newest update. I am also working on releasing Hotel Paris, the newest Otome non-adult visual novel, the next episode for the adult game "The Devil's Shoes" while I recently released Episode 4 of "The Coroner Saga". It has been a VERY challenging year. I had to endure a lot on both personal, family and professional life, but I'm going through it, especially with your help and support. Yomi Alliance will be an unique visual novel, for better or worse, but believe me when I say that it won't disappoint you, because I'm putting all my effort on it. It already contains 180.000 words and will grow more and more, probably reaching over a million before release. Sexual interactions you start on the Academy Grounds will go on further during the "Ship Assignment", as well as your friendship with other main characters. I'm planning a lot of content for the game in the future, so don't miss it! Stay safe and healthy, and thank you for following my games. 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 fellow officers! Even though the situation is still very difficult, work on Yomi Alliance has only slowed down, but it never stopped. Today I'm proud to announce you that the next big update for the game, available in late May, will feature the end of "Academy Days", the first part of this adventure. This will mean that every story arc will be available and concluded, every different mission objective for each career will be released and your characters will be introduced to "Graduation Day", which will be this summer's update! Wait, does it mean the game is completed? Of course not! The first 24 weeks at the Academy will be only the beginning of the game. As I fix bugs, apply your suggestions and watch your feedback, the real story of Yomi Alliance will unfold update after update. The first part of the game is fun, but repetitive. If I want to try the second part of the game without having to play the first one again, will I be able to do so? Of course! A new character creation will be made available for those who want to try the 2nd part of the game without having to go through the Academy. Of course, remember to choose different careers to unlock different scenarios. PART II Officer Life You graduated from the Academy and assigned to the Y.S.S. Oraga, a state-of-the-art recon vessel commanded by Vessel Captain Marston. All your fellow recruits have been promoted and assigned to the Oraga. Some of the instructors were also hand-picked by Captain Marston for the ship's roster. Players will have different tasks depending on their career choice, so each story will play differently in content during the six missions of Part II. The following is the general plot of Part 2, without a detailed career path. Mission 1 The Oraga responds to a distress call from a Nixanti freighter which is under attack by Kressari Forces inside Alliance Space. Upon interception the Kressari claim the freighter hosts dangerous Nixanti terrorists who fled from a high-security detention world. The Nixanti are freed after a confrontation (either by diplomacy or battle) and granted the request for protection. One of the rescued people is a young Kressari who recognizes the player as the Doombringer of her past visions. She also claims the planet Hurwada II is the staging ground for an Alliance invasion of Kressa. Mission 2 Captain Marston orders to investigate the reports about Hurwada II. After arriving at the planet the Oraga is hailed by Fuminoid Administrator 9T37 who asks them to leave as the entire planet is under military secrecy. Captain Marston asks the player to investigate with an Away Team but is then forced to leave the sector when Fuminoid ships arrive in force. Mission 3 Jerath Station, a Human scientific facility, is attacked by unknown assailants. The Oraga is dispatched to investigate. The attacking vessel is unknown but trace elements leave the crew to suspect Nixanti involvement. The vessel disappeared from sensors as it possessed something like a "cloaking device", but this technology is not known to exist in Alliance space, nor in the neighboring empires.
Mission 4 The Oraga investigates the disappearance of prominent human scientist Rachel Orlais, who was apparently kidnapped while on leave to Bujuri Prime with her husband, who has been killed in a brutal way. Investigations made by the player might lead to link Orlais' work to an ominous Fuminoid sect called "The Keepers of Time", whose agenda is unknown even by Fuminoid government. Mission 5 Following the trail of the Keepers of Time the Oraga arrives to the planet Jubinai V, home to a remote colony of Nixanti and Fuminoids who established it way before the Yomi Treaty was signed. Completely unaware of the Alliance and their own species' recent history, the colonists referring themselves as "Fuminanti" have formed a cult around the figure of the "Doombringer". Upon investigating further, the Oraga crew discovers ancient texts referring to an "Artifact" in deep space who could empower its owner with god-like powers. The Artifact was built during the Nixanti-Fuminoid wars in 230 BY (Before Yomi) to force peace between the two warring factions, but it was never used as the two species met with Humans in a First Contact that ultimately led to the creation of Yomi Alliance.
I will not spoil the other 5 missions and the final one. Each mission will be played differently as different career path are chosen. If you are a security guard expect some heavy fighting, while you can try (and save countless lives) by choosing to be a diplomat. As a Doctor, on the other hand, you might be called to save the life of Captain Marston, whose life could mean the difference between a full scale conflict between the Nixanti and the Fuminoid. Expect some heavy story-driven concept in May's update, as we prepare to end Academy days. Your romantic interest will also play a role in determine the fate of the galaxy, but I cannot (and don't want) to spoil more. Thanks for following this project! I hope you'll enjoy the new content!

Greetings space officers! Thank you for your patience on the latest few weeks. I've been working as hard as I could to bring you new content to the game, and the next update will be FULL of great news! First of all a series of new missions following the Prophet's attack for the following careers:

• Manager
• Science Officer
• Planetary Surveyor
• Alien Specialist
• Security Officer
• Mechanic
• General Practitioner
• Tactical Officer

• 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 space officers. One of biggest prides is to always listen to players' feedback, and whenever it's possible to try and add to the game what they suggest and ask. That's why I started working on a Combat System overhaul for the game. Let's say it: the combat system used right now it's not fun, and sucks more than a little. Of course, being the game in Alpha stage allows me to completely redo it from scratch, and with some new nice features. First of all, you will have full control on the action, by choosing which kind of attack to perform, which weapon to use and also if and how to use special powers and skills such as "Psionics" and others.
Every skill available will change accordingly with your profession, skillset and proficiency. This means that an engineer won't likely got the option to use a Heavy Laser Rifle, while a doctor will heal himself more by using a medkit as opposite of a security guard. First Aid training will improve the number of Hit Points recovered by using a medkit, for example. Also, every profession will have one or more "combat skills" (the screenshots are showing the "Diplomacy" one) which will be granted provided you reach a certain number of skill points in a given class (that's why attending classes is important. The Combat Skills are tied to your profession as well, so a Science Officer will likely receive an "Enemy Scan" feature to show weak points, or a Counselor could use a "Psychological Trick", while an Engineer could use a "Hacking" skill and so on...
New fights have been added in the game, whereas they were only lines of text. One of them will have you face The Prophet and his soldiers, provided you chose to fight against them. More fighting situations will be added in the game, to allow you to use your hard-earned skills in different tasks, both aboard a starship and on ground duty. Update 0.0.20 will introduce this feature in a few weeks. All the screenshots are a work in progress and will likely change in appearance before the final release. In the meantime I would like to receive your suggestions in the comments, or in the dedicated topic on the Steam forums! Thank you for your support! Always! Stay safe and healthy, ANDREA BRUNI

An update for Yomi Alliance is available for download! WARNING: The save method has changed due to updates to the game's engine and script. Older saves WILL LIKELY NOT WORK after patching.

Greetings fellow space officers! The next, amazing, Yomi Alliance patch is coming up on January 29th for all owners of the game. As we approach the end of the first part of the game (roughly by April/May), we are adding more and more features to the game, which I hope you're going to enjoy!

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.

Support the game if you like it and my other projects, and don't forget to take a look at my fully renewed Patreon page, because lots of rewards are waiting for you!

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!

• Added more than 250 HD images throughout the game
• Ranks insignia in the Codex have been replaced. The previous image was intended to be a placeholder and not a final art for the insignias.

• New Codex Entries: Science - Black Hole - Dark Matter - Cosmic String - Ion Storm - Lazarus Stars - Nebulae - Neutron Stars - Pulsar - Plasma Field - Protostars - Rogue Planets - Shockwave - Spaceborne Life - Subspace - T-Tauri Stars - Variable Stars - Wormhole

An update for Yomi Alliance is available for download!

Greetings fellow space officers! Today I'm glad to introduce you our newest addition to Yomi Alliance cast, actor Bob Baker!
Bob stumbled into professional voiceovers about 5 years ago after semi-retiring from the business world. In that short time he has had the pleasure and opportunity to do voice work for some great companies- Lamborghini, Ford, Chevy, Adidas, Fox Sports, Scheels, Alumacraft Boats, Caterpillar and many more. The most attentive among you will recognize his voice as the "Yomi Alliance intro" guy from this video: [previewyoutube=5RwArz7Vsg0;full][/previewyoutube] He has also had the opportunity to narrate two TV shows one featuring the famous football player Brett Favre. A United States Army Airborne Ranger veteran for four years, he never liked jumping from the planes though! Married with 6 kids who all love videogames and who play as his greatest consultants when it comes to playing a role in game. You can hear a sample of what's coming in with Mivak being played by Bob! [previewyoutube=hsfR5wzYfkI;full][/previewyoutube] Join me in welcoming Bob into our family! I wish you'll enjoy his Mivak in the game!

An update for Yomi Alliance is available for download! Bug fixing

• Fixed an issue which prevented psychology and persuade classes to be undertaken correctly. You can now play them by choosing the "Social Training", provided you're playing the proper career path.
• Fixed a rare crashing issue which occurred when loading a game saved before character generation was completed.
• Visiting squadmates now grants the correct amount of Relationship points based on difficulty level

• An animated character selection has been introduced early in the game. You can read informations about the character, its species and choose his gender as well from that screen. PLEASE NOTE: the animated character selection will only appear if you enable "Character Animations" from the Settings screen. Since this is resource-demanding we recommend you to turn them on only if you meet the recommended settings.
• Difficulty level now affects the number of points you receive with each training. "Ensign" will grant you +3 skill points, "Lieutenant" will grant you +2 skill points and "Captain" will grant you +1 point. Default difficulty when starting a new game is set to "Captain".
• Difficulty level also affects medical classes' outcome. On "Captain" setting you will need to rapidly solve the situation unless you want Dr. Li to scold you "Ensign" and "Lieutenant" difficulties will just end the class as usual.
• A new setting "Console Interaction" is available in the Preferences screen. You can set it on "Simulation" to deal with the animated console or to "Visual Novel" to have a list of choices brought to you in a clickable menu, with the animated console on the back. You can set the difficulty of the game at any time, except during the simulation, when the choice you made will be brought until its end.
• You can now visit Mivak in his quarters and spend some time with him

• New dialogues are available in the aftermath of "Mission: Alpha" (the one with the Kressari attack) in the first day of week 7. You can choose multiple paths which unlock different stories.
• New conversation with Dr. Li added on Wednesday, Week 7
• New conversation with Dr. Li added on Friday, Week 8
• New conversation with Sulijan available after "The Prophet" events by choosing to talk to her

• Medical Classes have been added. There are 20 different, randomly chosen, ailments your simulated patients might face. From Acceplexia Fever to Carmus Flu and Hydroga Aspisis. Of course those are ailments that are unknown to modern human medicine, so you'll have to learn how to recognize them and how to deal with them.

• Added a new option in the Settings Menu: "Character Animations". This will enable some animations in the game. Turning this off (predefined) has no effect on the gameplay. Since this feature is resource-demanding we recommend you to turn them on only if you meet the recommended settings. If you experience any kind of stuttering while playing animations we recommend you turn this to OFF.
• A new setting, called "Console Interaction", is available in the Settings Menu. "Simulation Mode" will show animated consoles to interact with thoughout the game, while "Visual Novel" setting will only show a list of choices brought to you in a clickable menu, with the animated console on the back.
• Added the following topics to the Codex: - Known Diseases (Sciences Tab) - Humans - Nixanti - Briallen - Fuminoid
• Lt. Mkrell's images were replaced by higher definition ones
• Human Female character template has been completely replaced by a new version with loose hair (naked, casual wear, bathsuit) and cropped hair (uniform, underwear, bodysuit)

Greetings fellow space officers! In a few hours release 0.13 will be available for you to enjoy, with many changes in both gameplay, new events and classes, and a few fancy additions to the game's graphics as well. One of the new features involves the Human Female Character Model. While she was quite cute I wasn't completely satisfied by her overall look, and I made some improvements to her character model. You can see the difference in the image below.
The basic model has been enriched with details, while her hair was completely changed to a cropped version while in uniform, bodysuit or underwear. In more "relaxed" occasions she will release her hair and show shoulder-long brown hair. The final look is way better than it was before. [previewyoutube=tiXtqWWtOPg;full][/previewyoutube] We're also adding animations to the characters in certain situations to further increase immersion.
Oh, did I mention some of our voice actors (including Star Trek Voyager star Manu Intiraymi) are starting to record their lines? Expect some characters to feel more "alive" soon! Thank you for supporting the game! Stay tuned, 0.0.13 is coming real soon!

Hi guys! The upcoming release 0.0.13 is being polished and tested for being released next week with a lot of new features! As I'm always trying to improve the game's experience, I want to share with you one of the new features of the game, i.e. the Animated Character Selection screen. It's a way to have a look at your character's physical aspect and to learn more about its features. You can also access a Codex section with lore information about the character's species, what they're after in Yomi Alliance and what is their recent history. [previewyoutube=wBcYJpr1KG0;full][/previewyoutube] I hope you'll enjoy this feature. It needs a bit of polishing here and there but it will be perfect by the time of release ;) Thank you so much for your support! Stay safe and healthy,

Greetings fellow space officers! One of the best features of Yomi Alliance is the ability to play different missions for each different career choice. And by career I don't mean just "Medical" vs "Command", but all the sub-choices you make when starting a new game. After the mission which introduces you to the "Prophet" character, Captain Marston will instruct you to go in the Command Center and assign you a task. This task will be different for each career, and will unlock new parts of the story. If you play the game with a new character you can explore these different paths.
Are you curious about what you can expect from the first of many different mission paths? Let's dig them in detail! Starship Commander As a future Starship Commander it's up to you to understand the feeling of your companions. Captain Marston wants you to interview every Recruit in the Academy and file a full report about their thoughts about the attack, their fears, their doubts, their opinions. Diplomatic Representative As a future Diplomatic Representative it's up to you to establish relationships with other cultures. Captain Marston wants you to contact the Nixanti Council and ask them about this Prophet of Alarei. Reaching the Council won't be easy, as they don't usually grant private audiences. Being a Nixanti could help you somehow...
Manager As a future Manager it's up to you to manage Alliance resources with care. Many valuable equipment was stolen or destroyed in the attack. The Captain wants you to assess the status of weapons and equipment inventory and make arrangements with our suppliers to restore them. If your character has a "Merchant" upbringing he will meet familiar faces during the mission as well. Navigator As a future Navigator you need to know your way around star maps. The Captain wants you to track the Prophet's ship's flight path throughout Alliance space. As his ship was using some kind of cloaking device that won't be easy though. Hot-Shot Pilot As a future Hot-Shot Pilot you will become an expert of shuttle fighters. The Captain wants you to prepare a flotilla of defensive shuttles and equip them as you see fit. Next time the Prophet or any of his friends show around, Marston wants every available ship to be ready for them.
Mechanic A lot of equipment is faulty since the attack, communications and food replicators most of all. As a future Mechanic the Captain wants you to lead the repair crews. Specialist As a future Specialist the Captain wants you to program the computer for a set of safety precautions that will automatically activate in case of a new attack. Starship Designer You're going to become a Starship Designer. The Captain wants your help to design a new kind of reconnaissance drone to help security spot hostiles inside academy grounds in case of future attacks. Systems Specialist As a future Systems Specialist the Captain wants you to increase sensor efficiency for the next time the Prophet or any of his friends shows around. Basic Operator As a Basic Operator the Captain wants you to check if repairs at comm systems, replicators and internal sensors have been completed. He also wants you to perform a full scan of each system and report any glitch to Engineering. Operations Manager As Operations Manager in training the Captain wants you to coordinate repair teams, switching personnel, equipment and priorities for the repairs. Security Officer As a Security Officer the Captain wants you to patrol the damaged areas of the Academy. You received reports of armed civilians trying to loot military equipment from there. Your orders are either to arrest them or scare them off without using deadly force.
Investigator Security captured one of the assailants. She was left for dead by the Prophet's assault team. As an Investigator the Captain wants you to lead the interrogation of the prisoner. Learn what you can from her by using any means necessary. Tactical Officer As a Tactical Officer you're an expert about space tactics and maneuvers. For that reason the Captain wants you to analyze the flight pattern of the Prophet's ship and learn how it defied Earth's unmanned planetary defenses. Interspecies Relationship Expert As an Interspecies Relationship Expert the Captain wants you to study the current relationships between the Kressari, the Nixanti, the Awar and the Karis. He was surprised they were working together during the attack and he wants to know what changed between their relationship. Counselor As a Counselor The Captain wants you to bring psychological support to the people injured in the attack. Many of them lost someone important during the fight. The Captain wants you to help them deal with the loss. Some of them might blame you for some reason (not spoilering anything), so that task might be more difficult than it should.
Alien Specialist As an Alien Specialist the Captain wants you to solve a little mystery, especially if you're familiar with Kressari physiology. Security found a body of a Kressari in the battlefield. It was hit by a direct blast of laser energy and yet there are no burns over it. Captain Marston wants you to conduct a full analysis of the body and file a full report. Emergency Medic As an Emergency Medic the Captain needs you to go to the Infirmary and help Dr. Li treat those who were injured during the attack. General Practitioner As a General Practitioner you are required to perform medical exams on the people who were dismissed from the Infirmary and assess whether they're fit for duty or not. Scientist As a Scientist you will need to prove a theory right or wrong. Sensors detected thorium particles on the Prophet's ship before it disappeared from sensors. The Captain needs you to gather data about nearby star systems or spatial phenomena that could've caused the thorium's accumulation. Science Officer As a Science Officer you will need to be ready to unravel every scientific mystery you might encounter. That technology the Prophet uses is indeed a mystery. The Captain wants you to analyze the data you've got on it and file a full report.
Social Surveyor As a Social Surveyor, the Captain wants you to tell him how Nixanti religion spread amongst Kressari, Awar and Karis people. Do they have anything in common? Do they share the same beliefs? Planetary Surveyor As a Planetary Surveyor the Captain wants you to assess any damage the alien weapons could've made to the planet. He wants you to make sure there are no radiation leaks, surface damage or anything else that would cause any harm to Earth's people. During those missions you will meet new and old characters, familiarize with console commands, unravel mysteries and discover more about the lore of Yomi universe. Each mission will be full of dialogues, choices and a score will be given to you. You can unlock achievements with that score and that will also influence your final evaluation before you are being transferred to a starship for the second part of the game. Enjoy Yomi Alliance, enjoy the consequences of your decisions!

Greetings fellow space officers! I have been very busy over the last few weeks to develop the brand new medical simulation for the game. Some of you had a glimpse of it while examining Serena during the first lesson which also introduced Dr. Li, and now you'll get the chance to play a couple more scenarios. At first I wanted to develop a simple situation: a patient, you, the teacher. While I moved deeper into it though I realized that things could've been more fun if I added some kind of unpredictability.
Medical Classes Dr. Li will introduce a few classes where you will be randomly brought to scan 8 different patients: - Aberoin, your teammate who kindly volounteered for the simulation - Hergarr, a 21 years old Awar Female - Syun-Ho, a 20 years old Karis Female - Kormash, a 29 years old Kressari Male - R18-20, a 27 years old Fuminoid Male - Jowarr, a 39 years old Zalkan Male - Meshal, a 25 years old Zurian Female - Say-Gan, a 22 years old Karis Female There are 20 different, randomly chosen, ailments your simulated patients might face. From Acceplexia Fever to Carmus Flu and Hydroga Aspisis. Of course those are ailments that are unknown to modern human medicine, so you'll have to learn how to recognize them and how to deal with them.
Codex Informations are available. They indicate the symptoms of each ailment and its cure, if any. You might need to administer medicines or antidotes, or even wake up a patient from a (simulated) coma. This will teach medical-career players on how to deal with the medical scanner, which is also animated like many other consoles throughout the game.
Wait, I don't want to use the animated console! It's too difficult and annoying! Worry not! A new setting, called "Console Interaction", is available in the Preferences screen. You can set it on "Simulation" to deal with the animated console or to "Visual Novel" to have a list of choices brought to you in a clickable menu, with the animated console on the back. You can set the difficulty of the game at any time, except during the simulation, when the choice you made will be brought until its end.
It's too difficult! Again, worry not! The difficulty settings have been renamed to "Ensign" being the easiest one, "Lieutenant" being a middle-level and "Captain" being the harder. If you play on "Captain", for example, Dr. Li will grant you bonus or malus points based on the choices you made during the medical examination. The more useless choices you make the worst his judgement will be. However, some of you might not want to deal with this and prefer a smoother gameplay. By choosing "Ensign" or "Lieutenant" difficulty level you will just end the simulation like a normal in-game event without bad consequences. You can set the difficulty of the game at any time.
Difficulty will also influence the chance your energy level will affect your learning ability. If you're too tired there will be a chance you fail to learn anything. The chance will be way lower on "Ensign" difficulty than it will be on "Captain". I recommend to play the game on "Captain" difficulty if you want a real challenge, but feel free to play it on either setting if you want a moderate challenge or a plain Visual Novel experience. It was difficult to develop this, but I can't wait for you to play it and give me many feedback about it as well! You will need different playthroughs if you want to explore every possible scenario, as some illnesses will only affect Fuminoids, Kressari, Humans and it will be challenging enough to figure out what a patient's issue is! Stay with me for more informations about the game's development and new exciting announcements of voice-actors as well! 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!

Greetings fellow space travelers! Today I'm going to talk to you about the romance options in Yomi Alliance and the different story paths linked to them. As you're undoubtedly aware there are four different squad mates you can interact with, and their Relationship Level is shown in the main interface of the game. To increase or decrease that bar you just need to pick up the right choices when presented to you and also increase one specific stat (their "favourite" stat). As long as the romantic relation goes further you can flirt with them, kiss them and even have sex with them as you would in real life.
Of course those interactions are still work in progress, and right now you can only unlock a couple of them, but in time more and more content will be added, included romance-specific side stories to explore and enjoy. With a brand new voice-over feature that will be introduced before the end of the year (keep following the updates for more excitement about it) I'm sure you'll enjoy the available romance paths in the game. But the 4 squad mates won't be your only chance to get romantically involved, as three teachers are also going to be available as romantic interests. They won't have a "favourite stat" but they will require their romance options to be unlocked by attending their classes and get a good standing with them, again, with your choices and dialogue options.
The game will feature M/F, M/M, F/F relationships and even genderless ones for Briallen characters. Male characters will be able to bond with: Mivak, Serena, Aberoin, Lt. Kaila, Sulijan Female characters will be able to bond with: Sulijan, Aberoin, Lt. Mivak, Dr. Li Genderless Briallen characters will be able to bond with: Aberoin, Lt. Kaila, Dr. Li, Mivak, Serena As you can see each NPC has its own gender preference as in real life. Serena for example isn't attracted by women, while Mivak has no issue with any gender or species and neither does Aberoin. Sulijan isn't attracted by Briallen and so on. Each romance will develop its own path, so next time you start a new playthrough in Yomi Alliance you can experiment a brand new path and many new situations in game.
I hope you'll enjoy the romantic choices available and always remember that you can befriend a character not available as a romance partner: many conversations will unlock regardless, since you'll be friends. Thank you for your support of the game and its development! Stay with me for more news in a few days! Stay safe and healthy,

An update for Yomi Alliance is available for download!

• Fixed an issue that, in rare occasions, caused crashes during the scheduler if a stat was too high and you attended a full week of it
• Events will now play both in the morning AND in the evening
• Fixed an issue which caused Medicine classes introductions with Dr. Li to play more than once
• Fixed the wrong attribution of "He", "Him", "His" for females and Briallen characters throughout Academy Mission Alpha

"Anything that can go wrong will go wrong". That was especially true today, when I decided it was time to update the game's demo with the new content I added to the first weeks of the game, thus improving the demo a lot to convince people they were buying the right game for them. "What could go wrong when you decide to update your demo the day after a major patch release with your kids running around the house being quarantined for days?"
Well, it happened that a single file, only one out of a few hundred, slipped into the wrong folder. Of course that file was not the one telling the game where to take its images, or it would've been quite obvious when I started the game it was not working properly. It was the file that made the whole Academy experience work... and the one that shuts down the game after week 2 in the demo. So, whoever updated (and played) the game today was basically locked out of the game's own content for good. Please download the latest update to fix that silly mistake! I am very sorry for the issue, which I fixed right away. Now everything's should be fine. I promise you I won't update the demo of the game after a major update, never ever! Thank you for your support, I hope you can forgive my mistake on that part.
Lt. Mkrell is not impressed, nor amused.

An update for Yomi Alliance is available for download!

• Fixed an issue where the game didn't recognize your personal assistant. New games after this patch are unaffected. Whenever you load an older game it will be checked against the error. If the error is found you will have to tell the game who you chose as your personal assistant. This will also unlock previously locked-out scenes with Lenara when choosing to stay in your quarters.

Greetings guys! Yomi Alliance Demo has been updated to include the latest improvements to interface, graphic, gameplay and cinematics. The demo features a full week of training, introductory lines for the main characters and a full mission which you won't find in the final game (yet). Choose to be a Command Officer or a Science Officer (more are of course available in the Early Access release) and move your first steps into the Alliance Navy. Thank you all for your support! Stay safe and healthy.

Greetings fellow space officers! Today I'm going to talk to you about quality. My games are made by many different piece of art, from the soundtrack to the graphic interface our amazing designer Sasquatchii made, to the quality of voice acting which will be introduced before the end of the year throughout the game (keep following the news about the game for some major news about it in the next few weeks). One of the most asked improvements of the game is about the quality of dialogues and English grammar and spelling. While my English is quite good, it's not perfect at all. I understand that and while many people are OK with it and enjoy the game whatsoever, I wanted to do a bigger step forward regarding that part of the game as well.
That's why I'm announcing you I recently hired an English native speaker proofreader, who will fix the errors and issues I made in the game to improve the game's readability and quality. The game is already about 60.000 words long and it's just a three months old game, so you can expect it to become bigger and bigger in the future. That, including the game's replayability will contribute to make Yomi Alliance a product unlike anything else. You can expect to find the updated, fixed texts starting from 0.0.11 next month, then each update will be proofread before its release. This won't impact the game's release schedule at all.
I'm also adding more animated scenes throughout the game, as during conversations with the main characters of Paris Squad. Serena will get the first animated dialogue in the game and the others will follow. Even idle characters will receive their animations in time, even though this will require a lot of effort due to the currently available equipment to render animations in FULL-HD. I hope you'll enjoy Yomi Alliance more and more in time, I have many big ideas and news about the game to share with you! Stay safe and healthy. And thank you.

Greetings guys! Yomi Alliance 0.0.10 is going to be released in a week or so... with many nice features I'm adding.

• New interactive animated medical panel to perform medical exams and scans

• Many new codex entries about Alien cultures, Medical Informations, Lore Background etc...
• Lots of bug fixes

An update for Yomi Alliance is available for download! Bug fixing

• Fixed an issue which caused Lt. Mkrell to repeat his "Athletic Class" intro more than once
• Fixed a crashing issue during weekly training
• Fixed an issue which caused Physical and Social Training introductions to be skipped. This fix could have you face those events if you load a save game, regardless if you already met Lt. Mkrell or Lt. Kaila. That's intended to allow you to play the introductions. In a new game the events will work properly.
• Fixed an issue which caused battle orders to be repeated twice in space battles

• You can now invite Sulijan to the swimming pool
• It is now possible to add a custom text to a saved game to better identify it

• Flavor training text has been added to skills that still didn't have it

Greetings guys! Today I want to announce something that will make many of you happy! I am very excited to announce that Yomi Alliance will feature a partial voice over throughout the game, starting in a few months from now. This means that every character will be voiced, played by many talented actors, thus increasing the immersion and quality of the final product. It is a huge development milestone, because the game will be made by many different lines, and that's why a full voice over would be impossible to achieve right now, even though Officers will have full voice over when introducing a mission to the players.
Conversations will be far more entertaining from now on, I'm sure of it. And keep following me for updates about this new feature, because big news are going to be revealed in a few weeks as well. Thank you for following the game's development and helping it to become what it is. Stay 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 everyone. For some reason update 0.0.8 was not uploaded properly on Steam servers, hence the game was missing most of its content, causing crashes and abnormal behavior. I have re-uploaded the game that should now work properly. Thanks everyone for your patience and I apologize for any discomfort this might have caused. See you out there!

An update for Yomi Alliance is available for download! Bug fixing * Various bug and inconsistency fix * Fixed the spelling of the word "Strength" throughout the game * Fixed an issue with renaming your character which caused to skip their background story creation Gameplay changes * Hidden informations about energy changes. Energy is still not used in the game, so you should not bother with it for now. * "Wander Around" action has been replaced by "Stay in Quarters" * You can now visit Sulijan in her quarters and talk to her, study Science with her or Train with her. * You can now visit Aberoin in her quarters and talk to her, study First Aid with hem or Train with hem. Story * Added a new conversation with Aberoin when you choose to spend some time with hem * Added a new conversation with Sulijan when you choose to spend some time with her * New conversations and sex scenes with Lenara in your quarters. Choose "Stay in Quarters" to access them. The third one is currently accessible only to male characters. Classes * A flavor text for every skill and skill point has been added to the game. Whenever you choose an activity on the weekly scheduler the game will now tell you what you learned from that. These informations will also be summarized and shown on a separate screen on request, albeit this screen is yet to be developed.

Greetings fellow space officers. I am currently working at the next major release for Yomi Alliance, which will be ready to be delivered in a few weeks. The core concept of the next releases involves new dialogues and storylines with Sulijan, Aberoin and Lenara, with a lot of deep conversations and choices to pursue their relationships.
There is plenty to learn about them, as they are amongst the romanceable characters for the game. I am also considering to add new squad mates, but that's just a very early concept that will be explored as development progresses. The game is already huge as it is right now.
Another thing I want to improve in the game is the immersion. You basically learn new skills every time you hit something on the calendar, but unless that specific skill has some related event to play you don't know WHAT is it that you're learning. That's why I added flavor text for EVERY skill and for EVERY point value to better explain what you can do with your actual skill level.

This way I hope to increase the awareness of what each skill can actually do and why you're learning it. It was a very long (and also quite challenging) work, but I think I set it straight now and it will be ready for the release. Some sex scenes have been added as well. I am also working on the first Academy mission, but I doubt it will be ready for the next update, so I'm afraid you'll have to wait a bit for it (please remember that each mission I make is played differently for each career you choose, that's why writing them takes some time). I hope you'll enjoy the new content in the game. It adds some new gameplay options as well as some new stories to explore. Alongside a new Codex interface for important lore informations, Yomi Alliance is taking shape update after update, with most release-bugs now gone. Thank you for your support, you're helping me make this game live!

Greetings Space Officer! First of all, thank you! When I first started General Practitioner's development I could have never dreamed of going so far so fast, and that's been achievable only because people like you supported me all this time. Today I'm starting a new adventure with Yomi Alliance. It's a bold project, something very few Visual Novels have until now, the possibility of playing with many different species, choosing your own job which will affect your gameplay and story. It will take time of course to fully develop such a game, and I've just started. But I know that with the help of everyone on Patreon, Steam and Itch.io this can be achieved, just like I achieved publishing General Practitioner, another bold project, especially for a one-man-software house like mine. You can grab Yomi Alliance at a special price for a limited time. This price will be available for only a few days, then it will increase as the game's development progresses. It's the perfect time to ensure you get all the updates that will be introduced week after week! I hope you'll enjoy the game! Thanks again. I mean it.

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.

PERSONALITY: Most Briallen are peaceful, contemplative people who simply wish to live in peace with their neighbors. Their peculiar biology, however, is source of misunderstanding and prejudice amongst other species, even though Yomi Founders' species (Humans, Nixanti and Fuminoids) always welcomed the Briallen into their society. As a result of the major distrust towards them, many Briallen turned into ruthless, passionate people willing to do anything to protect their homeworld from threats to its independence and security. Recently, the Briallen Hierarchy started to pursue Alliance Membership trough diplomatic channels, even though many independendists seek to stop this important step, stating it would thwart Briallen's quest for independence and freedom. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Briallen possess the same average height, weight, and variations in skin tone and hair color as Humans. The only outward physical difference is the presence of both genders' genitalia. They prefer loose-fitting clothes in a variety of earth tones and other subdued colors when dealing with outsiders to hide their different biology, while when between friends or people of the same species they usually wear nothing at all. Many of them also possess distinctive tattoos to display their devotion to their Gods (the Briars). In times past, the design of the tattoo also revealed a Briallen's social status, but many modern Briallen have discarded that tradition.
HOMEWORLD: Furatu, the third of eleven planets orbiting Briar'va'el, is a pleasant world similar in most respects to Earth. CULTURE: Briallen culture began approximately 60,000 years ago. Through four multiple-millennia republics, periods of civil wars and chaos, and a brutal war against their first-contact species, the Galixians, it has remained largely unified and coherent. The Briallen religion, which has become less and less important in their culture, centers on the worship of Briars, genderless gods who, according to legends, never interacted with the Briallen population over the centuries. Regardless of religion, every Briallen tries to live peacefully and aims to be useful to other people in their society and in the Alliance. Their government is an an elaborate hierarchy where every citizen has the right to participate if they wish so. Briallen people are also renown for their culinary skills. From cooking both home and exotic foods, the Briallen produce tastes envied and admired by many other civilizations. Food industry plays a large role in Briallen's economy.
NEUTRAL PRONOUN: As Briallen are a hermaphrodit species, it is polite not to refer to them as "Him" or "Her", as the neutral pronoun "Hem" is used widely amongst them. At the same time "his" and "her" are translated into "shem" (or "sher" by some dialectal forms), and "He"/"She" is translated into "Shes". As aliens often strive to use the proper word, Briallen learned not to be offended by other species' mistakes, as long as the mistake is genuine and not meant to be disrespecftul. Briallen's sexual preferences have always been somewhat a myth amongst non-Briallen. People always think that a Briallen is bisexual and has no sexual preference. While the majority of the population shows no issues in mating with other Briallen, alien multi-gendered species attract Briallen differently. About 40% of Briallen people claim to be attracted by females of alien species, another 40% by males and a 10% claims to find aliens "disgusting". It is considered rude to ask a Briallen about their sexual preference directly, unless they're on a close relationship with you.

If you wish to support my games you can join my Patreon page to unlock it a few days earlier and to receive a Steam Key as well (look at Patreon tiers' informations before pledging). The game aims to be huge, and it's impossible that an early release such as this one will feature all the contents that will be available in a the months / years to come. As Steam's release will be available on February 10th as well, you might be curious about the content available straight away, so here's what's to expect!

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,

PERSONALITY Most other species regard Nixanti as aggressive, harsh, and xenophobic, but also capable of great cleverness and cunning. Nixanti prefer to deal with others from positions of strength whenever possible, whether that strength be military, intellectual or social. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION Humanoids, Nixanti possess a wide variety of skin tones and colors amongst males, while females are usually very different and white-skinned. Males skin ranges from green to blue to plain white, and they possess an exoskeleton over their spine. Females, on the other hand, are quite attractive to other species, and don't possess the exoskeleton. They are as tall as but slightly heavier and more muscled than Humans.
HOMEWORLD Nixxia, the third of six planets orbiting the star Noshan. CULTURE The Nixanti possess a rich, vibrant culture, based on the laws derived from ancient Laws passed from generation to generation. Their society puts heavy importance on social status and position, and it's divided into two main groups: Nobleborn (Kotosha) and Commoners (Arosha). Rules of Nixanti society revolve around Four Sacred Laws, given by their profet and demi-god Alarei in person thousands of years ago. The First Law (grammorkai) outlines Nixanti relationships between themselves, even if it now applies to alien relationships as well. Nixanti take great pride in their own code of honor, and they will do everything they can to look honorable to other species. The Second Law (numokai) describes relationships between Nixxia's government and military personnel. Some observers note that Nixxia never suffered a civil war or any coup-d'etat because of this Law. The Third Law (satakai) defines the principles of Nixanti religion. Almost every Nixanti believes in the Seven Gods and their prophet Alarei, although more and more people, especially amongst younglings, are now questioning some parts of their religious education. The Fourth Law (jenokkai) enumerates the privileges and responsibilities of Nixanti-Kotosha.
As for the Numokai rule, the military dominate Nixxia. Sometimes harsh and aggressive, after discovering FTL speed the Nixanti quickly started an imperialistic campaign on habitable worlds within a few light years from their home planet. Their first encounter with the Humans led to an sixteen-year-long war. Similarly, they approached their early encounters with the Fuminoid with suspicion and mistrust, perhaps seeing them as a competitor for resources and hindrance on their ability to expand. This militaristic culture defines a Nixanti's social status, even though an Arosha can never be raised to Kotosha status. However, their culture puts great value on personal skills and talent, and it's not uncommon in recent times that Nixanti-Arosha command units of Nixanti-Kotosha. Nixanti society is also a patriarcal one. Males command over females most of the time, even though that's also influenced by social status. Women have the same rights of men on paper, but they need to work twice to earn the same respect and responsibilities of their male counterparts. This is called "res'jan", and it's a principle that states that every female has to kneel down to a man if they ask to, but only if the man outranks the female in both social and military rank. While the res'jan has been declared illegal by Yomi Alliance laws and more and more people refuse to kneel down, the grammorkai is quite specific in which is the most honorable attitude towards it. As a result, the res'jan is still followed by some Nixanti Alliance officers.
FAVORED PROFESSION: Security Officers. Most Nixanti proudly serve the Nixanti Military, thwarting enemy aggression and extending the boundaries of their empire through exploration and conquest. As members of Yomi Alliance, though, each new colony has to be established with Fuminoid and Human approval first. While the Alliance rarely opposes a Nixanti colony on an empty, habitable world, there have been some issues when Nixanti claims landed on previously-occupied worlds such as Charma IV. While the grammorkai bounds Nixanti to always recognize their treaties, some fringes of the Nixanti Military have been expressing concerns over something that's perceived as "undue interference in Nixxia's business".

Greetings fellow space officers! Unfortunately it looks like the Kickstarter for the game is not going to hit the target. That's unfortunate but not completely unexpected since the goal was indeed difficult to achieve. We received A LOT of feedback on how to improve our kickstarter for the next time we'll try to launch it (and we'll indeed do so in a few weeks). Of course we haven't stopped developing the game since we are doing the best as we can to launch Early Access Alpha release 0.0.3 next month for both our Patreon and Steam supporters as well.
We introduced upbringings in character creation! When asked about your upbringing by the interviewing officer you can now choose the past of your character. Were you raised by wealthy parents? Did you attend college in your childhood as a prodigy child? Have you been a pirate for most of your life? With more than 30 different choices that will affect your starting skills you have plenty to decide right from the start. While this won't affect actual gameplay, in the future we could develop stories based on your chosen upbringing, even though that's far away in development right now, even though we're already making it possible by setting the proper flags in the game's database.
The user interface is coming to its final look, designed by Laura 'Sasquatchii' Anderson, our graphic designer for all of our games, we hope you'll enjoy the renewed "Quick Menu" buttons, the ability to toggle vanilla mode ON or OFF without having to return to the settings screen and the character's portraits to better understand who's talking, alongside a wider, bigger font to improve readability.
We're also developing the Codex with all the informations you'll need to deepen your understanding of the game's universe. With dozens of specific topics accessible even through in-game hyperlinks, you are not required to read it to understand the game, but you can do so if you want more infos on a specific topic. And with a new look too! Finally, we're working on Academy skills and tests, offering you not only a screen which says "You improve your knowledge +1" but giving you events and situations where you actually LEARN how to use a skill, either by attending a class or by wandering around with your teammates.
Over the next few weeks we'll polish this part of the game and focus on the relationships between you and your teammates, including adult content and interactions. We aim to release an Early Access with a 10-12 hours of content for you to enjoy. We hope you'll stay with us on this journey, your support and feedback is the fuel for our small starship to navigate the universe. Thank you for following us!

Engineers are highly specialized operations officers trained to keep systems and equipment running at maximum efficiency. They are responsible for shipwide systems, such as the electroplasma system, the FTL drive, and the core engines, as well as repairing individual systems.
They repair equipment damaged by ion storms or battle damage, calibrate lateral sensors and engine injectors, cobble equipment together from scratch, and generally make sure everything runs without a hitch. As experts in the practical application of science and mathematics, engineers play a vital role in most missions. When confronted with strange alien technology-ancient androids, mind transference devices, time machines-the engineer has the best chance of understanding how it works and devising ways to defeat it. During exploration missions, their skills may be required to find pragmatic solutions to unusual hazards-discovering the cause of a space funnel, relieving tectonic pressure on an unstable world, escaping a booby trap, or defeating an insane, intelligent computer.
Good at problem-solving, the engineer finds a way to track an hidden ship, escape the grasp of a godlike being, or reinitialize the FTL drive in minutes. On defensive missions, they are indispensable for repairing battle damage, getting critical systems back on line, and squeezing out the last hit of efficiency from ship's systems." No matter the adventure, when unique solutions are called for, the engineer stands at the ready. Intellect is the favored attribute of engineers, since they regularly apply scientific principles to practical applications. As with all starship officers, Agility, Strength, and Vitality make good choices for the character's second favored attribute (especially for those who plan to see a lot of action). Dangerous radiation, hazardous materials, and potentially life-threatening situations (such as coolant leaks) make Stamina the engineer's favored reaction.

Greetings everybody! First of all allow me to extend my deepest gratitude to those of you who decided to back this game and those that are going to in the next 17 days. Yomi Alliance's reception has been outstanding with hundreds of "wishlists" added on Steam in merely two weeks! I'm aware that for someone the game's objectives might seem far-fetched, but believe me they are not. Yomi Alliance is an ambitious, bold project which couldn't have been possible without the experience and skills I developed by working on General Practitioner for the past two and a half years and the decade I spent developing computer software of other kinds. Of course, being the game on Steam means it will be developed AND released regardless of the kickstarter funding. By now this platform allowed me to understand that there is a definite interest in the game and that people are going to love it. Reaching the main goal will boost development times allowing me to focus on this project alone and by reaching the very difficult "stretch goals" I can also add features that otherwise would be impossible to achieve for a small studio like mine. That's why my projects will never be far-fetched: I'm perfectly aware of how much time it will take to develop them, how much money (because of course EVERYTHING costs money, even if it was only taxes we're talking about) and how much passion is involved in such a bold project. That's why I also want to thank you whoever will wishlist the game on Steam, support my Patreon page or this Kickstarter, regardless of the final result. I am blessed by a fan community that gives me the very reason I chose this job: entertaining people (and myself while I'm at it, why not?) So, spread the word with your contacts, back the project in the next 17 days and help me reach the goal. It's a very bold goal, unlike those usual for a Visual Novel, but believe me that this game will be unlike any other Visual Novel you played so far in many different aspects.

Greetings fellow space officers! Yomi Alliance's demo release is now available on Steam! Grab your gear and try out 4 weeks of training at Yomi Academy, then embark on a mission with your chosen species' character as a Command Officer or a Science Officer and deal with hazards and dangers. The demo features a couple hour of content and gives you a hint about what's coming in the final game. The first Early Access will be available next month, and don't forget our Kickstarter, which is very important to fund the project properly and ensure a faster release rate, plus more features only available as stretch goals. I hope you'll enjoy the game. Leave a feedback here, it's very important for me to gather all available feedback about the game and its features before launch. Have fun, be safe and healthy!

Greetings guys! Tonight Italian Twitch Streamer Zarinvernovich will play Yomi Alliance demo live, starting from 9 PM CET. You can follow the Live event by going to this link Those of you who haven't played the demo can follow the game and decide if it's worth pledging both here or on Kickstarter, and post any feedback both here or on the live chat! The streaming will occur in Italian, but the game will be played in its original English version. See you tonight!

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 space travelers! This devlog focuses on the development of the "Adult" parts of the game. Those of you who are familiar with General Practitioner (and The Coroner Saga, in some extent), will undoubtedly know that my games feature several scenes who are flagged as "adult-only", which means nudity, sexual intercourse and even genitalia are shown. Yomi Alliance won't be different in this, as it features relationship with both human and alien characters of different genders, with heterosexual, homosexual and bisexual relationships as well. As usual, the challenge in developing such scenes is to make them properly fit in the game as a whole, because there's nothing worst than some badly written sex scenes forcefully introduced in a game just because. Every sex scene within the game will be the result of your choices, events or even sometimes script. For example, if you follow a certain path in the upcoming demo (TOMORROW!) you'll end up opening a closed door behind where a crewmate of yours is having some fun!
Sexual interactions are also possible with one of the "Assistants" of your liking. You'll be able to choose which one suits you better and have him/her/hem ("hem" if the fictional pronoun I made for the genderless hermafrodit species Briallen) do whatever you wish with you as your willing partner. This is, however, NOT a porn game, where by "porn game" I mean a game where the focus is mostly having sex with very few other game elements. It DOES contain sex scenes, though, written in a way that they always fit the game. And of course, all adult content can be disabled by the Preferences screen with the "Vanilla mode" option which, if turned ON, will hide every sexual content throughout the game. Are you excited about Yomi Alliance? Tomorrow our Kickstarter will launch! I hope you'll enjoy the game and will be able to support its development! Be safe and healthy!

Greetings fellow space travelers! 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,

Hello guys! Kickstarter for Yomi Alliance is due in 6 days (you can see a countdown on the official page for the game www.yomialliance.com)! First of all, thank you to whoever chooses to support our game's development via crowdfunding (either Patreon or Kickstarter) or by buying the Early Access game: it means a lot to me as I barely started moving the first steps in the Visual Novel / Videogame industry. With your help I can keep doing this job and deliver you the most interesting, deep and complete Adult Novels, hoping to add elements you won't find anywhere else to entertain you for dozens of hours! Supporting us on crowdfunding also makes you earn rewards, from choosing a character inside the game to early unlocks of careers and scenes (otherwise available on the final release only) and physical gifts as well! Subscribe to our Kickstarter/Patreon now to stay in touch with us over the next few months! I humbly thank you, even a single dollar makes the difference! And spread the word with your friends too! It's often one of the best ways to support us! Always be safe and healthy! ANDREA

Greetings Alliance Officers. The first Development Log of many (someone might say too many, still I think they're both interesting and a testament to my commitment to the game) will focus on the RPG elements of Yomi Alliance. While even in General Practitioner the Main Character had some stats to increase and manage, it was not really an RPG, because skills improvement did unlock some special opportunities, but the story went more or less the same. That was made to avoid transforming the game in a grind fest, something that many adult games around the Internet tend to do a little too often in my opinion. The focus of Yomi Alliance's skill increase is to avoid grinding at all costs, because let's just say it: grinding is boring. There's no way I can enjoy repeating the same activity again and again until I put some minor increase in my character's stats or equipment. What we're trying to do is making the character's growth as smooth as possible. That's why Stats raising will play in the first part of the game: Academy Training.
Players will attend Yomi Alliance's Navy Academy, a 24 weeks tour of duty where they will learn to be whatever they wish to be. Each different class will attend different classes, like a Science Officer will attend Planetary or Geology classes that Starship Commanders won't, or Counselors-to-be will attend psychology classes unlike their Security Officers counterparts. Every week you will choose which classes to attend (if any) and a partially-random related-stat will increase accordingly, or you can focus in increasing your relationship with other Squad Members, or just relax and enjoy the sun. The choice is yours.
Also, when attending a class an in-game event might trigger, meaning conversations, mini-games and even interactive, fully animated consoles to press buttons onto. What happens when you don't study enough or study too hard? Of course, the related Stat will be lower than recommended, or very high and this means... a different playthrough. Yes, because every stat-check is partially random as well, and there's a mathematical calculation based on both Characters' skills and players' choice as well. This calculation determines if an action was successful or not, and it could hinder, for example, an investigation attempt, making the game behave in two very different ways in future missions. Of course branches of the game are also determined by well-thought choices from players as well, the game won't be randomized that much. It's as there are two possibilities: - Early decisions made in the Academy will determine the outcome during Starship Duty - Mid-late game decisions made on the starship are made directly and affect the outcome as well
With more than 30 different skills, the storytelling possibilities are countless, and that's how we plan to deliver an almost completely different experience based on your very first choice of the game: who are you going to be in Yomi Alliance? Wish to support the game? Get ready for our Kickstarter on October 31st, alongside the release of the Demo!

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.
