A Deeper Look Into Hometopia’s Dynamic Job System

Hey there, Topians!

As we get closer to release, we wanted to highlight the exciting features that will be a big part of your Hometopia experience, starting with the Dynamic Job System.




Complete jobs. Earn money. Build your dream home.

At the heart of our Dynamic Job System are client work orders. As you set off on your career as a professional home builder and designer, you'll choose from a variety of tasks, from fixing up a quaint little room to designing an entire mansion. Clients have diverse traits and tastes, and some might be more quirky, or demanding, than others. Based on the client request, the size, difficulty, and payout of each job vary, keeping your renovation journey interesting and engaging, and helping you level up your homebuilding skills.




Types of Client Jobs

As your experience level in Hometopia grows, you'll unlock a variety of jobs across different neighborhoods. Here are some types of client jobs to look forward to:

  • Renovation: Redecorate an empty or dirty room.
  • Backyard Construction: Build a beautiful backyard with items like sheds or fire pits.
  • Additions: Add a new room to an existing property.
  • Landscaping: Refresh the client's yard, creating everything from playgrounds to Zen gardens.
  • Guest Houses: Construct a detached guest house in the property's yard.
  • Full Build Construction: Build a client's dream home from the ground up, deciding the number of bedrooms and bathrooms and creating additional special rooms along the way.

Each of these job types will be represented by unique icons on your map. Before you accept a job, here's a quick rundown of what you'll see:

  • Client's name
  • Job budget
  • General objective
  • Potential payment
  • Time remaining
  • Client preferences
  • Skills used: Each job will require you to flex different skills. Hone these skills, and you might just unlock some pretty cool vanity rewards.

Jobs are always changing, so you'll see a fresh batch of client needs and objectives coming in regularly.




Once you complete a job, you’ll receive payment and experience based on how much the client liked your work. You’ll then have the ability to add the job to your portfolio, where you can revisit it in the future and even show it off!

Steam Base Builder Fest Hometopia Demo!

It’s DEMO DAY! We're back, and we're ready to build!

In late 2021, we gave Steam users the opportunity to demo our very first version of Hometopia. The response was overwhelming—and we just couldn't pass up another opportunity to bring that version back to the builders for Steam Base Builder Fest.

So here we go again. We're re-opening access to the legacy Sandbox Mode Demo! This gives you a small taste of what you can expect in our Early Access launch coming out on Steam this Spring which will have exciting new features and gameplay!

Come build with us in celebration of Steam Base Builder Fest from Jan 23rd-30th.

See you in the Sandbox, Topians!

What are dynamic jobs?

Happy new year Topians! We hope 2023 brings all of us many amazing things!

Today, we are excited to share with you an update about one of Hometopia's new features: Dynamic Jobs.

At the end of 2022, we discussed what our development team has been working on: Finishing up our dynamic job system. However, what exactly is a dynamic job? And how does that impact my Hometopia experience? Well, I’m here to tell you everything you need to know about it.



Dynamic jobs are what we call client jobs, and are an important part of our career campaign. Working your way up in your career as a home renovator, you get to choose jobs, from a variety of different clients with different traits and desires who may need you to improve, fix or build something in their house, and the jobs related to it not only range in size and difficulty, from small, low-paying, relatively quick jobs to large, high-paying, time-consuming ones, but also, the requirements for each job varies according to the neighborhoods they are located.



To ensure that the challenges and jobs are always fun and interesting, we designed a really cool system in which properties have randomly generated interiors as well as the clients and their quirks. Additionally, the client jobs are refreshed after a certain period of time to ensure you always have new clients and jobs available.



The client will provide you a budget to complete the job, and you will be paid once you have completed the job. The payment received from working on client jobs can contribute to the creation of your dream house, a house you can build in our sandbox mode (a feature we will discuss with you all in the future).

Client jobs will be available during our release on 05.05.2023, so get ready to get your hands dirty and become the best home renovator Hometopia has ever seen!

Feel free to ask us any questions down below and as always, talk to you next time.

Happy Building!
Mariana.
