Hello everyone,

as stated before I am releasing today the first test version of the Power of Research : Hospital Part :-)

Please Note :

  • It is the first test version so it's not complete and many things can and/or will be changed until the final release
  • It will not save anything, so if you reload the page or exit the game you will start again from the beginning. In the final release you will be able to select your doctor, and all progress will be saved
  • The doctor knows only one animation at the moment , for the different tasks will be different animations, the motion capturing data just needs to be cutted and needs some post production
  • There are only female patients at the moment, In the final release there will be more then 120 different patients
  • You will need the Unity 3D plugin, which you will get here for Windows and/or MacOSX : http://unity3d.com/webplayer/
  • This version is not optimised for loading times and/or performance at the moment, please report any performance problems ...
  • If you have performance problems :
    • In the settings menu you can change the quality settings
    • Fullscreen mode will give you a big performance booost
  • PLEASE PROVIDE FEEDBACK :-)

Please don't forget to give feedback after you have tried it, what was good, what is bad , ideas, bugs, comments, etc ...

URL : http://bet.powerofresearch.eu/PoRHospital.htm

 

Updates :

Version 1.2 (31.7) :

  • Less patients will come and it will take longer for them too loose their health
  • Some changes so that the locking of the doctor while washing hands should be fixed
  • Break Room : Now your energy level will raise while you are in the break room
  • Camera : New option in the settings menu to enable/disable automatic rotation of the camera (Default : Enabled)
  • When your inventory is full you won't be able to take something out of the vending machine
  • Elevator is locked when you are inside and no new patients will be able to come
  • Some changes to the patient chart GUI for broken bones

Version 1.3 (04.08)

 

  • New Camera System / Keyboard control :
    The camera system consists now basically of two modes.
    One is the Following Mode (Zoomed in) , when you control with your keyboard you will go forward with the up key or you can turn left/right.
    As soon as you zoom out (through +/- keys or mousewheel) the camera will snap to one side of the hospital (the one which is nearer) , you still can turn your camera with a mouse button pressed. But now the arrow keys are for the directions so up key is for walking up , left for walking left, and so on.
    Simply try it out , its much harder to explain ;-), i think its much better now and easier to control your doctor. With the Shift Key you can run and with the "C" Key you can switch sides while you are zoomed out.
  • Camera : Better smoothing for the rotation and position
  • Operation room : Fixed all the bugs so shoudl work now :-)
  • Waiting List : Fixed some bugs, you can cancel now when patients are waiting, their position in the waiting list is displayed in their chart
  • Sink : When you go near the sink a new button appears at the bottom , to make it more obvious and if you click on the sink the doctor will go to it and not say its too far away ;-)
  • Pharmacy : Also a new button and wayfinding to the order machine
  • Storages : I grouped the storages in the examination rooms, so there is now only one storage in each room
  • Fixed a bug with the CT room when you walked in
  • Fixed display bugs : Heparin injection, Splint, etc.

Version 1.4 (11.08.2011) :

  • Male patients are now coming to the hospital
  • The selected treatment is now shown on the patient chart
  • Beds : Patients will go or exit on the other side of the bed where the doctor is standing
  • Operation Room : You need to stand next to an patient to do the after examination
  • Operation : Better Messages if the operation was already done or not
  • Treatment Room : The doctor can treat patients now on both sides
  • You can cancel the hand washing and get the points earned up to this point
  • Fixed positioning of the pharmacy order system
  • New Heart Icon
  • Added more details to the rooms
  • Other Small Bug Fixes

 

I will start now to write a little introduction for the Hospital part, where all important things will be described.

Looking forward to your comments,

Tim

Hi Tim,

I must say that the game is enjoyable to play.

what worked better then expected:
Loading (within a minute)
framerate 50+ no visible lag encountered (very rare in such an early build)


I found the following bugs/issues:

The first is the sensitivity of the input. I tried to play with the arrow keys and i found them to sensitive, I kept bumping into walls.

Second is the camera angle. I couldn't find the right angle. It would work better if you keep focus on your avatar no matter if you zoom in or out or what the angle is. Now I found that if I zoomed out and lowered the camera angle I actually hovered over the hospital in stead of following the doctor from far.

third patients sometimes take forever to get to an examination room, sometimes because they don't do much for a few moment other times because they are walking into a wall (especially on their way to room 1).

fourth I can't input anything after playing 20-30 minutes or so. didn't do anything special it just happened

Last is the number of patients and their decay rate. It is impossible to treat them all, they come to fast and die too quickly. (10 treated/16 untreated second try) maybe increase the number of patients with the level.

Btw again I like the game I just name any issue I encounter so you can look into them :)

Hi Arch87,

thanks for your comments :-) I will write tomorrow detailed answers on all of your comments, and please continue to report anything that you might find ... I will be releasing tomorrow a new version with a better balancing (less patients) and some fixes which were reported.

Thanks, Tim

very interesting..

only a problem.. what shall we do when we don't find the appropriate medicine on the cabinets of the examine room and the pharmacy? is there any way to order them? are they refilled periodically?

I agree with arch87, it's impossible to treat all the patients (sometimes there's only one patient for 3-4 min, and then 4 or 5 patients arrive within a few seconds

@ccvicente: you can order medicine via the computer in the pharmacy it will take a minute or more to deliver (depending on type and number ordered.)

seems that patients get sometimes "crazy" when going to the examination room 2... They stop in front of the washing basin, instead of going to the bed, and even if you can click on them (where they are) and do the tests, they will never leave the exam room 2, so that it gets blocked and you can't use it any more...

I've only observed it in exam room 2 (not in 1, at least up to now)

Thank you for the possibility to have first experiences with PoR-Hospital.
It looks nice and even without real guidance, immediately makes clear what one has to do playing the game.
Some remarks:
- washing basin @ examination room 2 seems to be "strange"; I got fixed there without possibility to move anymore;
- in OR it is not clear what you are supposed to do; no "operation" task or anything? in general it is not clear to me for which treatments you can leave the patient alone and for which the doctor has to do it himself?
- at certain points the doctor is spinning around, especially when you go to the middle of the waiting room, but also when entering the patient in any examination room;
- the break room is annoying; maybe some little sudoku game or anything to play? and info (clock?) to show how long you should stay there to retrieve your energy level;
- why in the waiting room one cannot "assign" examination room numbers to the patients, even when those rooms are still occupied? normally people could be placed on a waiting list, and whenever the room is free they go there themselves; without the doctor going to the waiting room all the time to get the patient him/herself.
So far some comments. It is fun to play, however much more time consuming then PoR.

Keyboard Sensitivity : Do you mean all keys or just the turning keys ?

Camera Angle : Normally the angle should be always on your doctor, only when you change the angle manually with the mouse the doctor can become out of focus

Patients :Yes the pathfinding can be improved more

Fourth : Did you get stuck after washing your hands ? Because there is a bug

Patient Health : Will definetly will be changed , and in the final game the number of patients will raise slower ...

@ccvicente :

There is currently a bug in Examination Room 2 so that patients get stuck there.

Washing Basin : Will be fixed

Operation Room : The patients will go by themselves to the operation room , you only need to do an examination afterwards. Whenever there is a progress bar at the top with a progress bar , your doctor is doing something , otherwise only the patient is doing something

Spinning : Are you controlling with the keyboard or only mouse ?

Break Room : There is only sometimes a snack in the big locker, the break activity (sitting down) is not implemented yet ...

Waiting Room : The examination rooms have no waiting list, like the x-ray or lab , because when i tested it with a waiting list, many times you decided otherwise in priority and then you would also need some sort of managing system for the waiting list ...

Thx,

Tim

@Tim: thanks for all your answers! And in addition to my comments before: the spinning happens especially when I "automatically" go to the waiting room by clicking on that button (left underneath). I only use keyboard and touchpath at my laptop (no mouse).

@Tim: I mean the turning keys
I indeed changed the camera angle with the mouse because it hovered to close to my doctor so I couldn't see the patients etc.
I got stuck washing my hands.

Still a bug with washing my hands, I can´t wash em nor can I move anymore. Even a reload won´t work. (ah solution click on a room/activity to go there it will unfreeze the buttons) Now I just can't wash em
I noticed that when I created a splint the bar did not appear but just numbers to show progress (patient bar).
I have a patient sitting in the middle of the waiting room. she is waiting for the operation elevator and has been for the past few minutes (she's stuck).


A tip for players: to save time you can direct patients to an examination room and check their status by clicking their icon in the top of the screen so you don't have to get them from the waiting room or go to them to see if their infusion is done. Saves a lot of time! (maybe very logical but I only noticed it just now 0:-) ).

@jonhypt that has not yet been implemented so indeed no one can save any progress.

another tip... no need to go to the waiting room to call a patient... select it's icon and tell him to go to the exam room... (i was using it from the begining, but guess people were not doing it ;D)

Some new remarks after testing v1.2:

  1. (still) spinning around after arriving in waiting room, examination room, or next to the bed after clicking on task with patient (examining or some treatment);
  2. patient didn't find path inside operation room to the bed and stayed in corner, occupying the o.r. without leaving nor getting into the bed [see picture 1: patient in 'waiting list' to go to o.r. and picture 2: patient in corner of o.r.];
  3. while patient is on his/her way to examination room, clicking on other patient waiting and ordering to go to the same examination room make them getting confused (and nobody arrives in that room) [see picture 3: notice all room marks on top of multiple patients];
  4. washing basket sometimes not working while docter is in front of it;
  5. after getting something to get new energy from the machine the 'automatic' walking back to some room/patient is not working anymore and should be done manually with mouse or keyboard;
  6. after some time of playing the game, patients have no animation anymore; new patients are just black or red [see picture 4: black patient on bed in examination room, but functioning as any normal patient];
  7. after patient is healed in examination room 1, new patient is ordered to go to same room and they meet in front of the door without passing eachother; after ordering also other patients to go to the same examination room 1 they all form a queue, which cannot be solved (or I don't know any solution to move patients in other direcion, changing them to room 2 or back to waiting room or whatever, I don't see any possible click in their menu) [see picture 5, and 6-8 in post #21].

Another few things:
If you need a insuline injection a dialog box will say you need a heperin injection (all though the patientsbar is accurate)
at the moment I can only insert one key input at a time (either walk or turn)
People will wait indefinite if they have to wait for the operation theater
patients aren't comming too fast anymore (all though this may be somewhat off because of the people who can't be operated on (about three at a time))

no, it must have changed, because i've observed the same thing even if i didn't have patients waiting for the operation....

they also arrived in a healthier condition and take longer to die (except if your hygiene is below 20, that they decrease health very fast if you're treating or doing any check on them)
