HOW MANY DUDES? by Butterscotch Shenanigans How many Dudes does it take to defeat a Gorilla? Enter the Dude Ranch and find out!

"How Many Dudes" is now playable in the BROWSER! It's a little game we cooked up for the GMTK jam last weekend to answer the question, "How many dudes does it take to beat up a gorilla?"

And equally importantly, "How many toddlers does it take to bring down 75 dudes?" Turns out... about 4,000.

Join us on August 14th at Dirty 20 Nerd Bar for our #Gamedev Social! Programmers, artists, musicians, writers, or any kind of game maker, you’re invited to gather & connect! Let’s make magic together!

She may not have Chime to bounce on, but Bonnie can still hold her own with her scythe! 💀

Who's play style do you prefer more?

We wanted to answer the age old question:

🐱Can you pet the dog or cat in April Grove? 🐶

In the recent update to the game, another animal was made pettable. Can you guess which one?

We love hearing from our players!

Out of all our games, which one is your favorite?
And in that game, who's your favorite character?

Be like Belle and swing into the comments and tell us!

A screenshot of text on a website The title text says: I don’t know anything The body text says: If you’ve never made games before you have a huge advantage. If I’d have had any industry experience before making GMod I probably would have never made it. Your naivety is a huge advantage, it’s your edge. Don’t try to emulate people who are in the industry – do your own thing, make your own mistakes, find your own way. It’ll lead you down a bunch of paths that no-one will ever take because they know the ‘right way’. The world needs those paths explored.

A quote from Garry Newman [Garry's Mod] I think about often

My Making Narrative Games in Twine class on Tuesday at the #StLouis Public Library is full! Excited to teach a new generation of developers!

Huh? We have other games?

Crisp...Crackers? Never heard of it.
