Dum-Dum News

You can now create your own "Hogonet" websites that can be accessed in-game by other players.

Hogonet is our fictional 1985 version of the internet. The "Hogonet Reader" is the game's web browser. It is unlocked by advancing the main story, and it can only access very simple pages with limited text, links, and blocky graphics.

There is a how-to document here:

*** Please note that this is an experimental feature! *** Creating your own Hogonet pages requires some light coding, the ability to host web pages on another domain, and manually distributing the final address (e.g. on the discussion board). It's all currently a bit clunky. In the future, we could potentially make design & distribution happen entirely in-game based upon feedback & interest.

We have added Steam achievements! There are currently 61. Some of them are there to direct players to various Easter eggs or fun side activities.

Others are given at milestones of the main story. They are generally in chronological order. The descriptions are occasionally a bit vague to avoid giving substantial story spoilers, but each one does use the icon of a Hogo OS program related to getting the achievement. This means the achievement list could occasionally provide hints to advance the main story if you get stuck.

If you want to avoid any hints or potentially minor spoilers, use discretion when viewing.

Dum-Dum is now available on Steam!

Travel back to 1985 to discover more about the self-proclaimed “greatest operating system of all time." Navigate the weird quirks of Hogo OS 1985 Edition, solve puzzles, play mini-games, and unravel the story behind why this one-time cutting edge computer system has mysteriously been lost to time.

This release is only the first step. We look forward to hearing your feedback on our Steam community page, and hope it will help guide us as we add new features. We want this to be the best & most complete 1985 computer OS simulation that it can possibly be.

Thank you for your support!
