We have 'hallucinations', but I wouldn't call them screamers or jumpscares. If you check our trailer, that's what those 'hallucinations' look like.

Thanks for your kind words <3

Do No Harm is a Lovecraftian medical sim where every diagnosis tests your moralityβ€”and your sanity. Will you save your patients or lose yourself?

Is is possible to still join? I'm working on Do No Harm (store.steampowered.com/app/3138780/...)

Yes, we show it in a bit more subtle ways at first, but this is how it culminates.
We could stretch that moment in game to a later period though (currently it happens in Day 2 or 3)

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!

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of daily updates for a while, but there are two news that I want to announce:

We have signed with a regional publisher in Hawthorn Games! They will represent and promote us in China πŸŽ‰

And on the personal note, I had my wedding Dec 25th

But, back to posting now

Lighting Evolution. What do you guys think? Which one is better?

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?

We have passed 10k Wishlist Mark for #DoNoHarmGame!
It's exciting to get here in less than 3 months. And I hope we can get to ~50k Wishlists by the Release Date.

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.

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.

The most intimidating math in gamedev is the realization of how hard it is to make your game popular and self-sustaining

Thanks a lot guys! Public demo will be out soon, hope you enjoy playing it!

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.

#DevDiaryDoNoHarm - 7

Today we added in Anomaly and Sanity systems. Miss an Anomaly brought by patients, and your Sanity dropsβ€”along with eerie hallucinations creeping in.

If your Sanity hits zero, an interesting (and creepy!) ending awaits.

Yeah, exactly. We say don't fall for sunk cost fallacy, but it's very hard to drop a project, even if you know that there is no way, you'll be able to finish it.
And then having to defend your choice on top of that just adds to the pressure.

04.12.2024 20:00 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

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

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.

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.
