Therapy Simulator News

[p]Dear Therapists,[/p][p]Here I am with the very first update post-release. I've actually updated the build a few times for small bug fixes but have not made an announcement for them, so here is a single post that sums up the last week.[/p][p][/p][h3]🔧 Updates and Fixes[/h3]

• [p]✅ Added a new employee: the marketing manager, they increase the patient inflow to your office[/p]
• [p]✅ Added options for fullscreen, borderless and windowed mode[/p]
• [p]✅ Replaced some of the icons in the computer with in-game photos[/p]
• [p]✅ Fixed the issue where the player gets stuck because of the doggo[/p]
• [p]✅ Fixed some localization issues with day abbreviations[/p]
• [p]✅ Added a new Twitch functionality where the chat can join the game as patients[/p]
• [p]✅ And numerous other small bug fixes[/p]

[p][/p][p]I'm looking to add a few more employees now and office customization ASAP. I will also add the ability to speak with your employees instead of just greeting them. After these updates, I will be adding repeating patients and the hangout lounge right across the waiting room.[/p][p][/p][p]Have fun! ✨[/p]

To everyone on Discord who congratulated me on my marriage, thank you! ːheartsː[/p][p]The uncertainty is finally over, and I'm in the exciting final stretch of bringing Therapy Simulator to you![/p][p][/p][h3]👥 Join Me on Discord[/h3][p]While I have a solid roadmap planned, your feedback can help me see features and improvements that are even more valuable. I have set up multiple feedback and ideas channel in the server that I regularly look into, and I implement your ideas into the game.[/p][p]I strongly encourage you to keep the suggestions and feedback coming so we can make the best game possible together. 🙏[/p][p][/p][p]📣 Share your thoughts:[/p]

[p][/p][p]See you on December 10th![/p][p]Thank you in advance for playing, for your patience with the delays, and for being part of this adventure.[/p][p]- Jemboy 🎮[/p]

[p]Hello Therapists,[/p][p][/p][p]After a long time with no updates, I wanted to let you know how the game is coming along.[/p][p][/p][p]Before that, I just want to thank everybody who has played the demo and gave me feedback, it means SO much. Seeing the engagement with this game is the biggest motivation for me to keep going.[/p][p][/p][p]And to the people who have streamed the game, your reactions have been AMAZING. I don't remember the number of times I cried laughing watching you all play this and reacting to some of the crazier characters in the game. You made my day so many times. ːsteamhappyː[/p][p][/p][p]I just want to say a very big THANK YOU to all of you. ːheartsː[/p][p][/p][h2]Past Few Months[/h2][p][/p][p]I would like to apologize for having been quiet since Steam Next Fest. I actually got married 2 months ago! ːRingsː Then we went on a honeymoon for an entire month so I've been mostly offline. [/p][p][/p][p]And before that, I had a robotics and simulators workshop which I shut down so I could focus on making Steam games. I'm a solo-developer, working on Therapy Simulator by myself. It's been difficult to juggle life stuff and developing the game at the same time, but I'm happy to say everything is behind me now and I'm fully focused on Therapy Simulator now. ːlaughing_explorerː[/p][p][/p][h2]Early Access Release[/h2][p][/p][p]I am hoping to release the game in early access in November. ːcleanhourglassː[/p][p][/p][p]Some of the features will be missing in early access so I can focus on the actual fun in this game which is dialogue and choices. I don't want this to be just any other simulator where you manage a shop, buy furniture and all that boring stuff. I want this game to be unique, different than other simulators.[/p][p][/p][p]I'm not saying those features will not be implemented to the fullest. I'm just saying that they are not the priority for me at this point. I want fun, engaging and meaningful dialogue. I want to add dozens, if not hundreds of unique characters.[/p][p][/p][h2]Join Discord[/h2][p][/p][p]I would like everybody to join Discord, we have a great community over there. I take player feedback and suggestions very seriously. I made a channel on Discord called "Patient Ideas" where you can submit your patient idea and if it receives hype from the community, I will add it to the game![/p][p][/p][p]I welcome all of you to join and let's have a chat! ːGameDust_Neverout_Chatː[/p][p][/p][h3]See You Soon[/h3][p][/p][p]Thank you for enjoying Therapy Simulator. I'll talk to you all very soon![/p][p][/p][p]Jemboy[/p]
