Closing in, slowly but surely.
While we're continuing the work on the newest big patch, we'd like to share some information we have regarding the 'Doctors handbook' and its uses:
Right now, the game doesn't have a very good way of explaining the player how to actually play it. The 'Doctors handbook' has always been there, but it doesn't really contain very much concrete gameplay information, we'd like to change this.
We want the 'Doctors handbook' to really be something of an in-game wiki, that will guide you through the entire game. In order to do this, it needs an overhaul and will be significantly changed.
Above is a sketch of what is currently being tested, and shows how we ultimately want it to look like. It'll look more tidier and contain much more information, hopefully making it a reference table for all things Hospitalize.
All of the other windows the game offers will then have a [ ? ] in the top right, beside the [ X ] which will open up the corresponding page in the 'Doctors handbook'. Real nifty!
The enhanced tutorial will incorporate this a lot.
Over to something else, we'll be creating a new branch of the game in steam, which will be an "experimental branch". This branch will get all updates much sooner than on the public branch, but will contain bugs.
This is for those who'd really like to get their hands on new content as soon as possible, but know the risk and would like to help with bugfixing. More on this later.
Super excited for the coming weeks, things will definitely go down! We'll see you then! :]
Thank you!
