We are currently aiming to release the game by the end of June, 2026. We don’t have a specific date yet, as the game is still taking shape. But once we know the specific date, we’ll post an announcement in the Bscotch Discord and the How Many Dudes subreddit.
HMD will launch on Steam for Windows PC and Steam Deck, the App Store, and Google Play.
We are looking at a price point of $20 or less.
We will attempt to get the game into these services, but ultimately those platforms will decide whether we are allowed to publish there.
We don’t plan to add full controller support to How Many Dudes, so we have no plans for a console release at this time. However, if the game performs extremely well on its initial platforms, we may consider it.
Because our development team is small, porting the game to consoles and adding controller support would mean we would need to pause all other updates for an extended period of time. So we would need to weigh our options.
No, although players may emulate the Windows version on Mac or Linux. We can’t guarantee the emulation will work, but we’re not going to stop you!
Yes. As we continue development and add new features and content to the full game, some of those things will make it into the demo. We will also continually work on balance updates, reworks, and optimizations, and we will update the demo to include those changes as well.
Yes.
The game can change a lot between now and release, so we can’t guarantee it. However, we will make our best effort to allow for this.
