General Practitioner 0.0.24.2 by Bruni Multimedia

GENERAL:
WARNING: save games prior to 0.0.20 are no longer compatible. If you own a previously made save you will have to restart the game!
Save games from releases after 0.0.21 are compatible.

* Bug fixing
* Added some personal infos about Claudia during the first conversation with her earlier in the game
* Added new pictures for actions throughout the game
* Removed some savegame compatibility instructions from the "after_load" label as they were conflicting with newer settings. Therefore savegame compabitility with releases earlier and including to 0.0.20 is no longer guaranteed.
* Added a question asking players to tell the game if Claudia was living with the Doctor before the Main Story Arc. This is necessary because the main story isn't completed and it could make this update uneffective if she is locked away from the Doctor's house due to the main story. The question will be asked when ending the main story's available content or when loading a save for the first time after that.

GAMEPLAY:
* Added new Medical Conditions in the Codex:
-
* New Achievements have been added:
- Like the old times!
- Physician, Heal Thyself
- Lecturer
- Patron
* Removed conversation icons in the "Joy Festival" chapter as they are meant to be present in medical exams only
* The "Skip to next exam" and "Skip to next event" features have been removed. They were meant for the early stages of the game when content was very scarce to help skip to the relevant parts of the game, however as the game got bigger and the Random Exam Project is completed the feature became useless and bug-prone, since the game assumed some events happened without setting the proper triggers, thus resolving in abnormal behavior.
Since this feature was never meant to be present in the final game, we decided to remove it completely to avoid game-breaking issues. Some of you might have noticed that it wasn't updated since a long time either, and no negative feedbacks have been received about that, showing the lack of interest in the feature at all.
* A few activities have been added when you choose to stay home.
- Play a musical instrument
- Spend some time cooking
- Spend some time with Claudia if she is living with the player
- Study Medicine (moved from previous screen choice)
- Masturbate (if vanilla mode is OFF)
- Have a shower
- Watch TV
- Watch porn (if vanilla mode is OFF)
- Relax (moved from previous screen choice)
- Play a videogame
* Added 10 more conversations with Claudia at home. Some will only trigger if certain choices have been made in the game.
* The game will now recognize if you had sex with Christina
ALL these activities have a chance to be made alongside Claudia if she is living with the player, enabling more ways to spend time with her at home. Every activity also takes some energy and gives some stat boost as well.

STORY:
All of "Claudia-related" content will only play if you pursued a romantic relationship with her, whether by kissing her or having sex with her (Rita's path).
If you haven't done anything of the kind the following events won't be available on your playthrough. Please report if they still play regardless, as this means a bug is present. Thank you!
- If you kissed Claudia or had sex with her you will be prompted to a park meeting with her to talk about it (three days after having sex or on January 10th if you only kissed her)
- Added event "Shopping Spree" which will start after January 4th and after you completed the "Conference Invitation" conversation with Claudia.
- Added event "Claudia's birthday dinner" which will start on February 12th and February 21st
- Added event "Physician, heal thyself (Claudia Path)" which will start on March 31st and continue up to April 21st
Please note that during this event the energy amount of the doctor is forced to be very low. This is working as intended as it reflects the doctor's current health and it's NOT a bug which doesn't replenish the health bar.
- Added event "Medical Conference" which will start on December 3rd and continue on January 23rd

OTHER:
* The game will end on April 30th, which marks the end of the full game. Of course only Claudia-related events are available after December, while more will be added in future updates
