A quick little patch to fix some small issues we've found, as well as tweaking 'Skills' a bit.
Bugfixes:
Fixed a bug which caused all characters to stop working.
Fixed a bug in 'Contracts' which crashed the game.
Changes:
Different procedures now require the relevant skills in order to be executed. (In order for a nurse to perform scannings, she will now have to have the 'Radiography' skill in order to do so. She will not get the task otherwise. The same goes for doctors needing the 'Surgery' skill in order to execute surgeries.)
This change will ultimately increase the success rate of procedures, thus increasing the patients opinion :]

Weekly Dev Update [23.04.2017] - Week five
Well on our way to the next chapter!
Hello everyone! Starting off, this week's Hospitalize patch covered a few bugs and fixes. We've yet to locate the pharmacy and save/load bugs, but seeing as there aren't too many reports on it lately, hopefully it isn't too devastating.
Right now, the next big patch for Hospitalize is on it's way, implementing and covering most of the parts from the roadmap(Under the 'Focus right now' tab). This is really exciting!
But before that, there's a smaller patch right around the corner, featuring some more tweaking and fixing. We're also looking to improve the balancing (Specifically the opinion mechanics)
We've also been working on improving our testing enviroment. This way we'll be able to catch mishaps at a more frequent and reliable level than earlier, patches getting more polish before release.
And that about sums up this week, not too much interesting stuff to cover, but we'll like to share every itty bit of it :] Continue to keep an eye out for the pharmacy/save&load bugs and report whatever there is to report, it always helps a lot!
That said we hope you look forward to more patching coming up real soon and we'll see you next week!
Thank you! - Illeris Team
HOSPITALIZE v.0.10.5.4
This weeks update features fixes for various small issues.
Unfortunately, there is still no fix for the pharmacy bug some of you encountered, we've yet to find the source for the save/load issue you've had too. If you keep encountering these issues, please use the 'Report bug' function, it helps a lot!
Bugfixes:
Fixed a bug which caused the game to crash.
Fixed a bug in the 'Remove appendix' treatment.
Fixed a bug with 'Contracts'.
Fixed a bug in the 'Patient Consultation' procedure.
Fixed a bug which caused the skills of employees to exceed 99.
Fixed a bug in the AI waiting script. (The staff had the tendency of running around in the 'Staff room' rather than sit down)
Changes:
Increased the size of the 'Current task' field, in the employee overview window. (The text was cut unexpectedly, which should be fixed now)
New additions:
Reimplemented facial expressions to the patients. (This was removed by mistake after the latest big patch)
That's about it for now, we'll have some stuff to talk about next Dev Update, look forward to that!

Weekly Dev Update [16.04.2017] - Week four
Number four already!
Easter is over, and we hope you enjoyed the festive treat we threw in with the latest patch! :]
Moving forward, we have now up the speed of production and have lots of exciting things in store, which is awesome!
Unfortunately, there have occurred some bugs which have been hard to locate and bring about a fix to. The game is still in Alpha, but we're trying to keep it as bugfree as possible.
That being said, this week, it seems more of you encountered a bug with the pharmacy, where patients would stack up and not get anywhere because of the nurses. This problem proved very tricky to recreate and hard to locate the fault. A new patch is coming up real soon, hopefully bringing a fix to this. It would greatly help if in the case you encounter it, you use the in-game 'Report Bug' function. This will send in your current savegame and we'll have the chance to look at it. Thanks!
People have also reported that the save/load function hasn't been working, for those of you who have this problem, if you could send in some sort of autosave to us through email, that would help a lot! Or if you're able to save, but not load, you can find your savegames in C:\Users\”USER”\AppData\LocalLow\Illeris AS\Hospitalize. Send it to support@Illeris.com and we'll be able to check it out!
We're seeing lots of reports and suggestions on the forum, and that's great to see, keep it up! :]
Other than that, there's isn't much to say this week. Stay tuned for an upcoming patch and we'll see you then!
