Extra Notes

Hey everyone,
I just wanted to take a moment to update those of you who are curious about the future of Hamster Hustle and about us here at Dreamship Games.

Roadmap-wise, we’re planning to add more game modes. Infection is nearly finished, and Freeze Tag is in the works! We also have plans to include more emotes and maps in upcoming updates. It means the world to us seeing how much you’re enjoying our game and we’ve had an incredible time making it. Your feedback and creativity truly keep us going (yes, we’ve seen your Hamster Hustle fanfics and yes, we read all of them. They absolutely make our day, and we even set aside time during meetings for a little reading circle).

Now lets talk a little about us here at Dreamship. Unless you’ve joined our Discord https://discord.gg/VJrnJ4TqRA, if you haven’t!), you probably don’t know much about us. We’re a small team of five passionate developers, and making games has always been our dream. Everything we build comes from a place of love for multiplayer experiences and the joy of making people laugh together.

That being said, we all work day jobs, so game development happens during our free time. With a small team working part-time, progress can take a bit longer... but we are incredibly grateful for your patience and support. We’re excited about what’s ahead and can’t wait to make even more fun, memorable games for you and your friends to enjoy.

Thanks for being here with us and joining us on this journey.
- The Dreamship Team
