How Many Dudes runs on Steam Deck!

HEY, DUDES! Are you looking to get a bunch of Dudes all up in your Deck? We've got some info for you!

"How Many Dudes?" was originally designed around mouse input. It's all about clickable interfaces: you can click on just about anything on the UI to drill deeper into stats and details, which turned out to be a little tricky when it comes to full controller support.

However, through the power of friendship and thinking with our brains, we've put together an official input profile through Steam Input that lets you fully engage with the game using a controller (and the Steam Deck). You'll still have a cursor on screen, but we've configured the inputs so you can click stuff with the "A" button, go back with the "B" button, and so forth.

So even though the controller support isn't baked into the UIs, you'll be able to fully play the game on your Steam Deck without any issues.

Or, if you're feeling touchy and haven't been slamming too many cheetos, you can just use the touchscreen. It works both ways!

And don't worry about your save data -- by launch, we'll have both Steam Cloud Saves and our own cloud save service ("Rumpus"), so you'll be able to pick up where you left off as you bounce between your Steam Deck and your other devices. Have fun!
