Do No Harm is a Lovecraftian medical sim where every diagnosis tests your morality—and your sanity. Will you save your patients or lose yourself? Play the demo: playtester.io/do-no-harm @novruzj.bsky.social #indiegaming #gamedev #gaming #indiedev #indiegame

So, we are finishing our work on the Trailer. Here's a small teaser of the Hallucination Effect we are planning. The final result might look different, but let me know what you think! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #Lovecraft #DoNoHarmGame

Some exciting stuff is happening in the background that is taking most of my time. I'll talk about that later. But for now, here is my question for you: If you had $40k for marketing budget, a good demo and a nice trailer, what would you spend that on? #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev

#DevDiaryDoNoHarm - 9 I'll be updating Playtest version soon, but for now, here is one of the newer Anomalies we're planning to add. Not going to tell you how or when you are going to encounter this Anomaly though. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #DoNoHarmGame #Lovecraft

On Sunday, we participated in the local gamedev festival called Game Summit. We had a bunch of local players play the game, and a few signed up for the Playtest. Here are some photos from the event. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #DoNoHarmGame

#DevDiaryDoNoHarm - 8 We’ve completed the internal demo build and will be sharing it with the publishers we’re in discussions with. There are still a few details to refine, and we want to run thorough internal tests first before making it public. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #DoNoHarmGame

Novruz Javadov @novruzj.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

#DevDiaryDoNoHarm - 7 Today we added in Anomaly and Sanity systems. Miss an Anomaly brought by patients, and your Sanity drops—along with eerie hallucinations creeping in. If your Sanity hits zero, an interesting (and creepy!) ending awaits. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #DoNoHarmGame #Lovecraft

Today, I had to defend myself on why I have unreleased games, and I'm promoting another one. The question itself is valid for sure, but the nature of our work is so that not every project is equal, and not every project works. I don't want to delist my other projects, as I'll make them. But in time

#DevDiaryDoNoHarm - 6 Today we worked on one of the doctor's tools in-game - the Stethoscope. Now enhanced with eerie visuals of organs, adding a creepy atmosphere while you listen to sounds and uncover eerie details. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #DoNoHarmGame #DoctorSim #MedicalSim #Lovecraft

#DevDiaryDoNoHarm - 5 Today I hired one of the, if not the best 2D Artist in Azerbaijan - Natiq Kamal. He has worked with us previously on Revolution: The Spark. With him Do No Harm will look even better going forward. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #DoNoHarmGame

#DevDiaryDoNoHarm - 4 Today my job was meeting with a potential publisher. We have a few offers already, but I'm still open to new ones. Thankfully we are in a privileged position where even if all deals go wrong, we have enough funds to self-publish. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #DoNoHarmGame

#DevDiaryDoNoHarm - 3 I'll share work that maybe isn't the most fun, but is important. We struggled with the visuals of the stethoscope for a while. We used "sound waves" as ugly wiggly circles, and it just looked uninspired. Now it can look Eldritch. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #DoNoHarmGame

Novruz Javadov @novruzj.bsky.social · 27/11/2024

#DevDiaryDoNoHarm - 2 Today's update: We've added random Lovecraftian events that can strike any patient at any time. Players will have to stay sharp to spot these anomalies, or risk succumbing to Eldritch madness! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #DoNoHarmGame

Our daily wishlist additions are decent, but it's so hard to grow your rank after top #2500. But I totally understand why. So many great games are coming out now! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #DoNoHarmGame

#DevDiaryDoNoHarm - 1 Finalized plans for our next iteration of the Gameplay Trailer today. The current one isn’t bad, but our attempt to channel the "Papers, Please" vibe missed the mark. This time, we’re doing our own thing. Hope it works better! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #DoNoHarmGame

I’m not usually one to post frequently, but I’ve heard consistency is key for the algorithm. So, starting today, I’m kicking off a #DevDiary! I’ll be sharing insights into our daily office discussions and giving a peek into our development process. #gamedev #indiedev #DoNoHarmGame #indiegames

Noticed that I haven't posted a video of Do No Harm on here yet. This is an old gameplay video of our game. Many things have improved since then - I'll post a new one soon. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #indie #DoNoHarmGame #DoctorSimulator

S2 of Arcane so far is great. But I fear that it might get too convoluted for those who have never played LoL. Too much stuff going on at the same time in S2 imo. #Arcane #LeagueofLegends
