Multiplayer update is FINALLY here!

Torture those little bastards but now with your friends or enemies. Because Hamster Hunter brings us all together.

With this update comes some optimization, much needed quality of life as well as a few new features and functionality.

Although this update sadly or happily? Removes the shrine from the game. Why? Because it was shit...

It was buggy, had constant issues and really didn't fit the overall game feel and fun. Majority of players who used a shrine only did it for night time protection.

So with removing this night time is back for you all.. BUT There is a new "Scare Hamster" item you can place to protect a radius during night time :)

To play multiplayer you must complete the basic story line and you'll then get access to a room code you can share with friends who can then join.

Additions:

Added Multiplayer

Added the Scare Hamster Item

Added the ability to piss on friends

Added new settings menu for graphics, audio, controls, and FOV

Added multiplayer room codes

Added Down Syndrome trait to Genetics

Tranquilized hamsters now squeak

Removed shrine system; reworking for better fit.

Added new music.

Optimization / Changes:

Optimized Automation a little

Optimized the tunnel scene

Block rendering optimization

Hamster Gambling hamster racing now uses true random instead of pseudo-random

Polished various elements in apartment scene

Compacting hamsters count as kills

Fixes:

Fixed save slots displaying as #1 instead of #1, #2, #3

Fixed save deletion preventing new saves in the same slot without restart

Fixed incorrect lighting in certain tunnels

Fixed an error preventing you from stopping pee early

Fixed task UI scale in tunnels

Fixed periodic lag in Tunnel scene caused by excessive autosave frequency
