Hamster Kombat: GameDev Heroes

⚡️ New Feature Announcement: Multi-Genre Development Is Live! ⚡️ A major update has arrived — you can now create multi-genre games! From now on, your studio is no longer limited to one genre per project. Choose a primary genre, add a compatible additional genre, and build stronger game concepts with bigger potential rewards. 🤓 How it works: • Pick your primary genre • Add an additional genre • Start development and release your hybrid project 👉 Important: your team must meet the combined staff requirements of both genres. If your lineup is strong and well-balanced, multi-genre projects can deliver significantly better results. 👇 Why this matters: • More strategy in project planning • More meaningful team-building decisions • Higher upside for smart combinations • Open your project setup, test different genre combos, and discover your next hit. Multi-genre development is now available — time to build bigger games. 🚀 👉 PLAY: @Hamster_Game_Dev_bot

🚧 Technical maintenance tomorrow 🚧 🗓 The game will be temporarily unavailable starting tomorrow at 11:00 UTC until the work is complete. 🔧 We're actively working on improvements to speed and accessibility — thank you for your patience while we make the experience better for everyone. 🧡 See you back in the game soon!

🔥 IN AN UPCOMING RELEASE 🔥 🐹 HR (Hamster Resources): Because Even Pixels Need Sleep We’ve added an energy system for your hamsters. Think of it as HR, but for rodents. ✍️ How it works? • On the job: When you release a game, only a small crew actually pays the price—based on the genre. A tiny Clicker? Maybe 1 dev, 1 artist, 1 designer. A huge RPG? More hamsters get tired. Who exactly loses energy is random among those who worked on that project. No favoritism. • Low energy = lower output: Below 70 energy, a hamster is 15% less effective (speed + fun). Below 30, it’s 30% less. Tired hamsters make slower games and less fun. Basic hamster economics. • Recovery: Send them on vacation and they recharge over time (no hourly micro-updates—we recalc when they’re back). Or use the Restore button and pay soft money (price depends on rank: Junior → Star). Your call. 🤓 Why we did it? So “who works on what” and “who gets rest” actually matter. You can’t run the same few hamsters 24/7 without consequences, and you’re encouraged to use vacation slots and a bit of strategy. Also, “HR (Hamster Resources)” was too good a name to waste. 🤔 TL;DR: Hamsters have energy. Releases cost energy for a few random workers per genre. Low energy = less productivity. Vacation or paid restore brings them back. Now go manage your hamster resources. 👉 PLAY: @Hamster_Game_Dev_bot
