Future Update Speculation

I was under the impression it would start with part 3…
kinda hope not, work is 60+ hours weekly right now…not a lot of time for investigations lol

Hello Games’s headcount grew by 147 people (85.71%) in the last year.

How many people are employed at Hello Games?

52 people are employed at Hello Games

Funny numbers 52 people / grew 147? lol

They have a lot of people on temporary / short-term contracts. Also people who don’t work for them full-time, but are only involved with specific targets, as and when required.

It makes calculating employee numbers very hit-and-miss.

The real eye-opener is if you go to Companies House, and look up how much the company is worth / is making. Their declared annual accounts are a matter of public record. There doesn’t seem to be any danger of them running out of cash any time soon.

As far as I can make out, Innes McKendrick hasn’t been with Hello Games for some years. Not since hiking across the United States.

I got the impression that Innes had become far more interested in political activism than in programming.

Any guess what this was about :

ARG ?
Minecraft Crossover?

Custom server?

I would say the general consensus is no one has a clue

But, since we are supposed to have translation in MP and do not…

I wonder how many people are working on the “next big thing.”

Also, do those stats reflect people supporting other devs that HG has associated with their “lab?”

About time. :cowboy_hat_face:

New info has been dry lately and i ran out of games to play(that interest me). So dry, that I bought Astroneer and 100% it in like 2 weeks.

Now we need that emoji…

Side note: was actually a great game. Wish NMS had trains and planet cores now.

Pikmin 4 here. Cute but not as challenging as the previous Pikmin games.
