Hey guys, Timo here!

The latest update, Hunk Empire – Version 0.6 is now live and ready for download for Windows and Mac!

Grab it now from the Members Download Page:

IMPORTANT!! Version 0.6 of Hunk Empire includes completely redesigned and reprogrammed core systems. If you load a save file from a version prior to 0.6, you may need to repurchase certain upgrades or sets from their respective stores.

Also important! With version 0.6, we have made several updates to the Arc 1 package.
If you have Hunk Empire – Arc 1 registered to your FullFrontal account on our store, whether you received a key in November or purchased Arc 1 directly from us, you can download the updated Arc1.ffb file here.

This is only required for Windows users.

This update took us quite a while to get out the door, but with the amount of new features, fixes, and tweaks packed into version 0.6, we are very hopeful you’ll enjoy what we’ve built.

As mentioned in last month’s dev blog, the main focus of this update was the in-game scheduler and all related systems. This includes stores, upgrades, income calculations, and all that wonderfully nerdy math behind the scenes. The result, at least in our eyes, is a far more polished and, most importantly, logical system. It shifts the focus toward figuring out how to get the best results out of a specific performer, rather than simply stacking as many activities as possible like before.

And that is not all we added, fixed, or tweaked. There is a lot more under the hood, so be sure to check out the full patch list below.

With all the recent changes to pricing and upgrades, we would also really love your feedback. Does it feel too easy, or maybe too punishing? Let us know what you think in the comments or over on our Discord. Your input genuinely helps shape future updates.
