What's Next for How Many Dudes?

It's been almost 1 week since the launch of How Many Dudes, and what a launch it's been!

We're still triaging bugs, fixing up crashes, and otherwise hotfixing these Dudes into a more stable shape. But now that the dust is juuuust starting to settle, I'd like to share what we've got planned for HMD:

A Chonky & Free Update

Y'all showed up and made this our most successful launch ever, so as a big thank you (and because we've got a few more ideas...) we'll be putting together a sizeable, free update.

What'll be in it? Well, without spoiling too much:

  • Quality of life improvements based on your feedback over the coming weeks, including new settings & keybinds

  • More ways to visualize your personal Dude journey

  • And of course... new Dudes 😎

As for when it will be done - we're aiming to have it out within a couple of months. Our team needs time to process and learn from the launch, squash some more bugs, get some well-deserved rest, and then cook on the new content. Gotta make sure our Dev Dudes don't get knocked out!

To those of you who have already left reviews, feedback and bug tickets in Steam Discussions, or just hung out with us in the Discord and shared your enthusiasm, thank you! This has been the most fun we've had working on a game, and it's been great to see our positive community keep it that way as we head into the post-launch era for HMD.

Thank you all for being such good dudes 💖

Until next time!
