Hamster Kombat: GameDev Heroes

Clan levels — how it works now 🛠️ There was a bug after clan level 13 (all 13 settings unlocked): fun % was calculated wrong. That’s fixed. Current rules: 🎮 Unlocking settings A new clan starts with 2 settings. At level N you can have N+1 settings, up to 13. After that, no more settings. 📈 Rating Clan rating = total fun on your clan’s settings. Only releases in your settings count. ✨ Bonuses • Clan-wide: +1% fun per clan level — this keeps going after 13 • Per setting: +5% fun per 100T on that setting, cap 65% After all 13 settings are open, setting bonuses stop growing. New levels give only the clan-wide +1%. 📊 How you level up Until 13 settings: each bar caps at 100T × level. Fill every bar, then the leader picks a new setting. After 13 settings: no new picks. Level up when all 13 bars are full. 🧱 Caps after level 13 Bars keep growing: 14 → +200T, 15 → +300T, 16 → +400T, and so on (per setting). Sorry for the mix-up after 13 — percentages should now match this. 💛

🏴 Conquering Paris is live The next territory capture takes place in Paris — 80 quartiers on the map. 🗓 August 22, 13:00 UTC → August 27, 13:00 UTC (16:00 MSK → 16:00 MSK) ⚔️ How to capture • Pick exactly one zone to attack • Several clans can fight for the same zone at the same time • To take a zone you need at least 1T Fun and a 1T lead over the closest rival • Clan bonuses do not count in capture games ⚖️ Balance update The more zones your clan already holds, the harder it is to snowball: • 0 zones → ×110% Fun from releases • Each held zone: −2% Fun • Floor: ×50% Defender head start at the start of a round (from 500B): • 1 zone → ×110% • Each extra zone: −2% • Floor: ×50% 🎁 Personal rewards for capturing a zone Awarded when a zone changes owner: • Top contributor of the winning clan: 2 Espresso + 25 Fun Boost • Last hit: 30 Gamepads + 1 Cappuccino Holding a zone against an attack does not grant these gifts. 🏆 Clan place rewards After the event, the prize for your clan’s place is split among members. To stop tiny clans from farming the full pot: one player can receive at most 1/100 of the prize for that place. Example: a 1-player clan still gets only 1% of 1st place — not the whole prize. Clans with 100+ members are split as usual (prize / member count). ✅ Who can earn hold points and claim • Clan must be created before the event starts • Player must have joined the clan before the event starts • Clans with fewer than 50 eligible members need at least 100T rating, and more than half of members must have joined before the start • Clans with 50+ such members skip that extra check Open the clan map, choose a quartier, and good luck in Paris 🥐
