From there they get into the harder question of what to do with negative reviews, how to tell the difference between feedback worth acting on and noise worth ignoring, and how they're thinking about difficulty and accessibility as the game finds its audience.\nSupport How Many Dudes!\nOfficial Website: https://www.bscotch.net/games/how-many-dudes\nTrailer Teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgQM1SceEpI\nSteam Wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3934270/How_Many_Dudes\n00:00 Cold Open\n00:26 Introduction and Welcome\n02:16 Post-launch HMD community feedback\n07:25 Wishlists trend and projections\n13:42 Demo and full launch relationship \n28:10 Accessing feedback\n37:08 Addressing negative feedback\n41:35 Conflicting feedback\n50:47 Updating the game based on feedback\nTo stay up to date with all of our buttery goodness subscribe to the podcast on Apple podcasts (apple.co/1LxNEnk) or wherever you get your audio goodness. \nIf you want to get more involved in the Butterscotch community, hop into our DISCORD server at discord.gg/bscotch and say hello! \nSubmit questions at https://www.bscotch.net/podcast, disclose all of your secrets to podcast@bscotch.net, and send letters, gifts, and tasty treats to https://bit.ly/bscotchmailbox. \nWe also built Ludokit, a tool for managing store pages, promo art, localization, achievements, credits, fonts, change logs, and more.
