House Flipper - Roumyan
Howdy, Flippers 👋

We have something BIG for you today!

THE RELEASE DATE OF THE FARM DLC IS SET, Flippers, so be ready in March 2023 to build, plant, gather, relax, and much more! Furthermore, we’re all excited to share the new trailer with you. No tickets are needed what's left is to sit, watch, and enjoy. Every opinion would be an asset, so throw them at us in the comments. 🎬



Also, you can now take a look at House Flipper 2's steam page - don't forget to wishlist the sequel if you like what you see, duh! đŸ”„

{LINK REMOVED}

Once the dust settles, let’s proceed. It’s been a little over a month since the last House Flipper Farm DLC – development update, so we’d like to thank you for your feedback, opinions, and warm words under the latest devlog. Now’s the time to jump into the news section.

WHAT’S NEW?

Today, we’d like to present some of our work in progress. From enviro, through the minimap, new mechanic, new animation, and more. All right, it’s time for some farming!

MECHANICS

As you can see, we’ve implemented an inventory on your tablets! With this freshly new and still-in-progress feature, you can store all your collections in one place.



In addition to the new inventory, we implemented an option to take out a certain amount of your crops and then collect them at once. Aren’t those top-class potatoes? Have you spotted more veggies *wink? đŸ„”




It’s nap time!

We've thought that some of you'd like to change the time for your daily flipping routine. That’s why we’d like to present a brand-new feature we’re constantly working on. Now, you choose the time, click the button, and wake up at the specific moment. Check it on your own and tell us what options you saw.



If you’ve rested enough, let’s make a trip around the map. As you can see, we’ve prepared for you a spacious landscape based on climatic gold plains with coniferous forests to create a farming vibe.



If you’re curious about the whereabouts of this environment, we come with aid. Take a look at the minimap, from where you can choose the jobs to do.



ITEMS

For a better view, we’ve prepared a set of new unique windows to make your apartments modern and stylish. It’s a fresh idea but has changed a lot. Let’s stop walking for a moment and try to relax while drinking tea and looking outside the house.



How do you like the animation?



Ever wanted to be a rockstar? Now it’s possible with our new rocking chairs! Now even you can feel that swinging vibe and sing your favorite songs while chilling on the porch.



We’ve heard your voice that you lack kitchen tools, so it pushed us to make some for you. Can you feel a fresh floating aroma in your rooms? So we do! With our mixer, whisk, wooden spoon, and more, you can spice up your dining rooms a bit.



Pssst: Wanna taste something sweet? We have some little jars with homemade preserves. They’re waiting for you to place them in your house and put some warmth and a sentimental childhood feeling.



So, that would be it for today’s development update. We hope that you liked our little showcase. We'd like to remind you that the game release will be in March 2023, so stay tuned for future information. You can always follow our game, add us to your wishlist on our Steam page, and follow our social media channels to keep up to date.

Howdy, fellow Flippers! 👋

Here we are, even more excited than the last time! As the Farm DLC development is heading the right way, we’re once again super grateful for your recent support and all the questions regarding the DLC. We’ll be slowly shedding more light on this project, and this time, we have a little advice for you – sit back, put on some cozy banjo music, and enjoy this building-themed Farm DLC devlog! 🧰

Also, along with the second development update, we’d like to give you a chance of winning some exciting prizes! Let’s not waste any more time, and ENTER THE GIVEAWAY NOW! All the details are available in the link or after clicking the image below:





What’s new:


Mechanics

Can we build it? Yes, we can!

After listening to your suggestions, we’ve concluded that current apartments are pretty small and certainly a bit too limited at their core. Therefore, check out the new “extension” mechanics we've been working on lately.
Please keep in mind that it's still a work in progress. 🏠
    Let us know what's your opinion about this feature!

Stop! Hammer time! 🔹

Tiles, and a bit of willpower, can turn even the most shabby rooftop into a glittering one. Along with our new roof repairing mechanics that we're improving, you'll get a chance to work at heights and make your houses even more classy.
    Feel like a fiddler on the roof, but with a hammer in your hand


Items

We thought it would be nice to show you a bunch of new items we've been working on lately.

Firstly, we're bringing some new gate models and animations – let us know if you like them. đŸšȘ

Let's not forget about wheelbarrows! A farmer wouldn’t survive the hardship of his work without his loyal one-wheeled friend. Let’s be honest, there would be no countryside without them


Furthermore, we have a weathercock. Just imagine all the creaking sounds.




They can be your gates to the farmer's world




Can you hear the creaks?


Attention! Cuteness overload incoming! 👀

Sooo, we’ve also prepared some fancy plush toys inspired by farm life. The goat, sheep, horse, and llama will accompany you during the warm evenings as you watch the fruits and vegetables ripen.



If that wasn’t enough, we give you an additional portion of cuteness, presenting more cute plushies! đŸ˜»


Make some noise for them in the comments!!



Environment

When it comes to surroundings, we decided to showcase a new farm-themed mailbox that is a part of the Farm DLC exclusive environment. A cute little barn on a pillar! Isn't that astonishing? 📬


Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks could say: "You’ve got mail"




Keep up with the latest

Okay Flippers, we've come to the end of this development update. We hope you liked our building-themed showcase, which shed new light on a few mechanics and items. It would be awesome if you could share your thoughts and feedback.
We've heard your questions about the frequency of our devlogs, so we'd like to announce that a new Farm DLC devlog is going to be coming every 2 months.
As always, we recommend you follow us on social media to keep up-to-date with all the recent news.

If you’re curious how our friends from Frozen Way are doing, we have a little surprise for you! They’ve just released the first-ever development update of Honeycomb! It’s still warm, and you can find some cute animals in it.

https://steamcommunity.com/games/1510440/announcements/detail/3397421255161524243

Since the last dev update, we've been repeating one phrase: work, work.

All this effort in order to deliver as many things as possible with the Pawsome Update. To be honest: without you, there would be nothing, so before we proceed to the main course, we’d like to thank you once again for the enormous amount of feedback, which inspired us in different matters. With every comment you shared, the distance to our goal was shrinking, as we were more and more aware of any missing pieces in the Pets DLC content list.

Also, thanks to all your recent bug reports, many fixes made their way to the game along with the release of this update. We hope that now the DLC will be as shiny as freshly brushed fur. ✹

Knowing that many of you can't wait for what is yet to come, we say: paws on the table, here comes a new trailer!




What's new

If you like summer trips, the new train-themed house will please you. We’ve heard your voices, and with an adorable squeak, the rats are here! From a distant land across the ocean, the parrots flew here as well. Additionally, three new breeds of doggos and kittens are ready for your love. If it wasn’t enough, a bunch of new pet mechanics, like brushing, hat picking system, and cat treadmills, are coming to the game with this update. Without further ado



Let’s begin

Crazy, but that's how it goes, the train is coming, so jump on the board! You won’t need any tickets, it’s open for everyone.

This Train-themed house guarantees a trip to your childhood dreams of being a machinist. 🚂🚃🚃🚃


Hop into the game and check out the unique interior of this property. Let us know whatcha think!


New Animals

The time has come, many of you have been waiting for it, and they're finally here.
Rattos are here, squeaking quietly with love. 🐀




If you hear the flutter of wings, be ready, two new adorable birds have arrived. Those charming parrots will bring color into your home and embellish your time through their mellow voices. 🩜




Do you know that feeling when you’re back from work, and those eyes are looking at you with such mesmerizing joy? It's our fluffy friends, waiting for you to take care of them. With three new breeds of doggos and kittens, you will feel six-time better than winning the lottery. Aren’t they adorable? Try to name them all, and share your guesses in the comments section below. 🐕🐈


Wow such update, very cute, wow


Mechanics

Now, we hope that you’ve installed an air-conditioner in your house because what we're going to show you now is way too HAT! Do you remember our little cap sneak peek? Now we can show you its final version. Protect your companions from the sun, and make sure you cover their heads when you take them on a job. Here, take a look:


Don’t forget, safety first! Let us know which one is your favorite. đŸ‘’â›‘ïžđŸŽ©


Don't let your pets be disheveled! Wash them and what’s more important, scrub their backs with our special combs, and look how happy they get. They shine bright like diamonds! 💎




Ah yes, we’ve brought a new fun and exercising toy too. (Actually, it's already been in the game but we've just added new functionality to it!).
Your cats will love it for sure. They need it to stay in shape, so keep an eye if they practice every day. đŸ†đŸ„‡


You spin me right round, kitty, right round like a treadmill, kitty, right round, round, round.


If today was a busy day for ya... you know, flipping houses, doing stuff... Now it’s time for some rest. With this new mechanic, your four-legged friends will also take their daily naps on some comfy sheets.😮




Already on your feet? Come and check this out!
We improved the user picture mechanics by adding different variants of custom frames and user images. Now is your turn to adjust them to your needs:




Items

For those who love to lie down and wonder, we have something special: a ceiling fan – you might say it’s just an item, but listen to this quiet swoosh. You might get dizzy from that inspirational whirling.đŸŒŹïžđŸŒȘ




If you've ever dreamed of a cozy room in the atmosphere of the Amazon rainforest, you can create such an oasis yourself. With these new plants mixed with your favorite decor, you can now design the most comfortable domesticity! 🌮🌿




Keep up to date with the latest

As an ending to this development update, we leave our creation in your hands, folks! We’re still looking forward to your feedback and opinions, so throw them at us in the comment section below.

Howdy, fellow Flippers! 🏡

Since the announcement of House Flipper – Farm DLC, many of you have been asking about the current status of our brand-new addition to the flipping family. I can't help but mention that you guys managed to help us reach 140k additions on the Farm DLC wishlist count, and that's already a really impressive number! We’re proud to tell you that we have some new stuff to showcase, but first, we’d like to thank you for your patience and support. It means a lot to have you here with us! 🙏

It’s been a while since our last update, and we've heard that many of you can’t wait to see what’s new, so let’s skip to the good part. We can’t start off in a better way than showing you a couple of animals! We're also gonna showcase new farming items which will help at your work, as well as talk about some buzz in the garden. Additionally, we'll also delve into the subject of our fresh decoration items that will surely bring some warm atmosphere to your designs. Without further ado, let’s get the farming started!

Those woolen beauties lost their fur, but who wouldn't want to have an alpaca in their backyard? 🩙Everyone would... right?!
Check them out before the pelt is back in place:




Let's jump over to the next one! Widely known for their climbing skills, those cuties are majeeeestic! 🐐 We’re super excited because they’re the real G.O.A.T.S!






Now... it’s so satisfying to watch your hard work pay off, so what about making it profitable? Why not! We are constantly trying to develop the available mechanics, so with the Farm DLC, we’re preparing something special for you! Check out this unique system of harvesting and sowing. Let us know in the comment section below, what you guys think about such mechanics in this kind of form. đŸŒœđŸŒœđŸŒœ

A farmer without his tools is like a fish without water.âš’ïžđŸ§° That's why we've also managed to prepare a few items to help you in your rural life. Grab your hoe, and loosen the ground. You may also need a bucket, but don't worry, you can find it in the photo below:






Wait, what's that sound?.. Do you hear buzzing?.. 🐝
Neither do we... but after the survey results, we were flooded with your bee requests. Our fluffy, flying friends will come at the right time, and for now, enjoy the honey from our apiary! 🍯






...Fear of the dark, fear of the dark, I have a constant fear that something's always near đŸ˜±đŸ˜±đŸ˜±. In that case, we’re planning to bring you something to brighten up your house! Take a look at a branch and a cartwheel with hanging lights! We find them really cool and hope you like those countryside-styled decorations.💡






A day on the farm wouldn't be fully enjoyable without your favourite music. Take your portable radio and listen to what you like, wherever you want! đŸ“»đŸŽ¶đŸŽ¶




We've also prepared something cool for the connoisseurs of the classics, If you are a fan of vintage style, you'll undoubtedly love this gramophone:




The icing on the farmer’s cake, though, is this retro radio. Maybe you can still listen to War of the Worlds on it!




Last but not least, as we mentioned some time ago, Frozen Way has become the co-publisher of a Builder Simulator. That was big news, and now we want to shout out loud: the long-awaited premiere is here! Don't wait any longer, and grab your toolbox – the Builder Flipper bundle is here!

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/26521

That would be it for today’s development update. We hope that you enjoyed the things we showcased. If you’ve got any questions or ideas, feel free to throw your feedback at us in the comment section below!

Furthermore, don’t forget to add Farm DLC to your wishlist. 🙏

Hellooo there, Flippers!

As you probably know, we’re constantly working on developing our game (and the latest DLC) to improve your gameplay experience. Some say: Work hard, play hard. For now, it's working time, and we've got some stuff to share with ya!

But before we proceed!... It's etched, like black on white: there is no "us" without you. To show you our appreciation, we come with another giveaway! To check out more info about the various prizes, click the image below or proceed through this LINK!




Okay now, let's get started with the news!

Even though a huge majority of our players enjoy the Pets DLC, we would like to thank you for sending us various reports regarding different issues or bugs you encounter. We've been monitoring all of our social media channels, and we're collecting every little piece of information. Prepare for yet another hotfix next week, that will deal with another portion of the latest issues (like that pesky 13th floor bug ːDogefaceː)

If you don't know yet, we're also working on a Pets DLC content update, that according to our plan, is going to arrive this month, and we prepared a couple of sneak peeks! Last time we showed you that a new rat companion is in the making. Now it’s time for a proper rat cage... lots of space for those little climbers! Take a look at this beauty, isn’t it adorable?




Here comes another quick look at some other items that we're working on. Do you know what they're used for? Do you have any other ideas for cool pets-related items that should make it into the game? Share your thoughts in the comment section below. We’re really excited to know your opinion!




(Does that mean that we're also working on a brushing feature for those furry fluffers?? :o )


Additionally, we thought about hats. Yes, hats!... for your pets!

You can find a little preview of that on one of our past devlogs, but this time we also wanted to ask you something:

See... the hats will be changing, and we're still wondering what the dependencies should be.
We have 3 options to choose from here, and we don't know which one sounds the best, so let us know whatcha think:
1. Pets change their hats depending on the DLC origin of the job the player currently works on. (certain hat for Garden DLC orders etc.)
2. Pets change their hats depending on the tool that is currently used by the player
3. Pets change their hats depending on player's choice only.

Here's a little example preview of the second option:


Let us know which option sounds the best for you!


Aaaand that's it for the news. We hope you like what we’ve showcased, and don’t forget to participate in the giveaway! May luck be on your side!

Make sure to follow us on our social media channels, so you won't miss any future updates. And believe me - there will be dozens of them in the future!

Okay now... How about the magic trick? From now on, you don't need to carry your doggos, kitties, and bunnies anymore! We gave them a pinch of magic so that everyone could feel a little Harry Potter vibes! As mentioned above, teleportation is a real thing. It's a kind of magic, isn't it?




Some while ago, we’ve shown you that you’ll be able to have two guinea pigs in one cage. Unfortunately, due to dozens of things we had to do before the release, we didn’t manage to prepare it on time. Today everything changes, though. Two guinea pigs in one cage? Hold my beer!




The sound of drumrolls echoes through basements and pipes, and you already know something is coming! Suddenly, you realize that below this message, you can find a long-awaited friend that will come with a future update.




If house flipping wasn't enough, we have fantastic news for you! Frozen Way, as a co-producer of Builder Simulator, gives you a once-in-a-lifetime chance to create your own house from scratch! Get to grips with construction and feel like Bob the Builder!

We still highly encourage you to send us all your feedback regarding Pets DLC. If only you spot anything that might look weird to you, feel free to let us know on our discord channel.

Although this update focuses mainly on bug fixes, we’d also like to ask for your opinion! Many of you have wondered why pets (especially dogs and cats) wouldn’t follow you on stairs. At first, we weren't sure about this, since stairs happen to be dangerous for animals, and surprisingly, this kind of mechanic would also be pretty problematic from the technical side. Nevertheless, since the release, we've received a huge amount of requests, so we’ve come up with an idea which you can see below:
Do you think we should implement this mechanic in that kind of form? Let us know in the comments below!


Last but not least, I personally talked to literally everyone involved with the development of Pets DLC on the release date... believe me, the stress was real, adrenaline pumpin, expectations were high, but we made it! Both the Frozen District and Frozen Way are extremely grateful for all your help and support guys, so once again... Thank you!



That would be it for today’s development update, flippers. If you have any questions or ideas regarding House Flipper – Pets DLC, feel free to let us know in the comments below.
