They actually just recently released a sequel to Human Resource Machine called "7 Billion Humans". Builds on the gameplay but adds parallelism

It's actually a different mechanism entirely. Human Resource Machine is optimising a single threaded small memory process. (Single Instruction Single Data) 7 Billion Humans is about massively parallel programming more like code on a GPU. (Single Program Multiple Data) The ways to solve the puzzles are very different because of this, and it's interesting but not a way of optimising that I'm used to (so I haven't finished it yet!).
