Unlock Your Creativity in Hometopia with These Four Customization Tools

How is it that Hometopia players can make so many distinct creations? Today, we’ll walk you through some features that will take your builds to the next level: material customization, the color wheel, scaling, and duplication.

[h2]Material Customization[/h2]
Choose among dozens of material types to bring your exact vision to life. Textures include suede, tweed, raton, leather, corduroy… the list goes on! Choose glossy materials to make your interior shine, matte materials for a more muted look, or anything in between.



[h2]Color Wheel[/h2]
Choosing your ideal furniture is just the beginning. Next, take to the color wheel to make nearly limitless changes to the color of your furniture, your walls, and even those throw pillows.

Select a hex code to update your space with the exact color you have in mind. Find your inspiration from anywhere and import the exact color through this novel feature. End that long-lasting search for the perfect royal blue, or a gray with a tinge of green–just dial in the code and make your furniture pop! Also, Hometopia saves your color choices, so as you move from one item to the next, you can ensure a unifying aesthetic across your design.



[h2]Scaling
[/h2]
Have you found the perfect fireplace, carpet, or other item in the Hometopia inventory, but are having trouble fitting it in your space? Don’t sweat it! You can scale items to meet your design needs. The Feng Shui wouldn’t be right without it!



[h2]Duplication
[/h2]
And one more thing–if you’ve customized the details of your furniture to your liking, you can easily duplicate it and paste that piece anywhere else in your home.



With these four features, you can let your imagination run wild!

Hometopia Recap: Play NYC Weekend

This past weekend, our team had the privilege of exhibiting Hometopia at Play NYC, New York City's premier indie game convention. We’re also featured on their Steam event page.

Our favorite parts of the weekend:
  • So many passionate gamers stopping by to chat and try out Hometopia
  • Valuable feedback and suggestions from attendees which will aid our development process.
  • The overall atmosphere and shared appreciation for indie games throughout the convention.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who came by, played our game, and shared their thoughts with us. Your continued support and enthusiasm are what fuel our dedication to this project.

And big thanks to Playcrafting for hosting an amazing event.

If you couldn’t make it, here are some photos from the weekend:
