New in-game items shop interface in 0.0.21 (Patreon)

General Practitioner is coming to its final year of development and like the Roadmap I posted says it's time to polish some aspects of the game which were in bad need of a re-coding since they weren't almost touched at all since their initial release.

One of the first systems to have been re-worked is the in-game shop interface, which was textual and has been transformed in a more recognizable "Amazon-Like" interface, although for the sake of interface usability the background will be white.

By moving the mouse over each item's picture you'll be shown a box which summarizes the cost of the item and its effect on the game. Of course effects have been included as well, since when you bought items before this update they just stayed there without any given purpose.

You will also notice that medical equipment saw a definite increase in price. That's because 0.0.20 introduced a new "refer patient to the clinic" feature which made penalties of not owning certain equipment less harsh. Since many players are trying to complete each exam 100%, and this feature makes it easier than ever, to balance the game all costs have been raised by 1000%, while monthly costs stayed the same.

This will also mean you won't have access to certain items in early game, but that's working as intended since I never meant for the game to play by itself as players watch idly and helpless :)

Cars are also going to be added in the game, as well as motorcycles, and they will affect gameplay as well.

Keep following us for many interesting updates in the future!

0.0.21 update will be available for 20$+ patrons by the end of the month, official release dates will be published soon.

Be safe and healthy,
