House Flipper 2 News

Welcome to yet another House Flipper 2 Development Blog!
Along with this one, there comes a serious dose of excitement!

Why is that?... Because for the first time, in House Flipper history, we could show you what building from scratch will look like!

[h3]Why is building from scratch such a big topic?[/h3]

Building houses from the ground up, on an empty plot of land is something our community has been asking us an incredible amount of times over the recent years. It's a topic we've been thinking about and discussing for many many months prior to finally making a certain decision.

With the very beginning of House Flipper 2 development, we knew that this is the time to bring it on and make the dreams of many players a reality, and here it is!


[h3]The first-ever showcase of House Flipper 2's Sandbox Mode![/h3]

Just like we previously promised, with this Devlog we decided to change things up a little bit, and instead working on a pre-recorded material, we felt like a livestream is going to be the best choice to present the Sandbox Mode!

It was probably the longest developer stream we ever hosted, but we managed to successfully introduce you to the whole process of building your own dream house in House Flipper 2:

Keep in mind that these are only the highlights so if you missed our stream, and would like to watch all of it, head over to our Twitch channel ( https://www.twitch.tv/frozen_district ), or check out the recording directly under THIS LINK.

Also, remember that this time our aim was to show you working on the exteriors only. In the future, roughly about 2 months from now, we will host another Developer Stream, in which we will delve into the topic of interior design in the Sandbox Mode.

On a final note, I'd like to once again thank everyone who joined us on the House Flipping journey!
It's always an amazing feeling for us, the devs, to be open and transparent about this project, and an even better feeling to experience so much support and compassion from the House Flipper gaming community! You guys rock!

Till next time!

[h3]Another month, another devlog, and more things to show you![/h3]

This month we decided to ditch the idea of a pre-recorded developer blog, and instead transition to a live devlog to show you some incredibly unique House Flipper 2 footage.
We will be streaming on the 23rd of February, 6PM CET on Twitch and Youtube and we plan on showcasing a brand new mechanic, a core one, something never seen in the House Flipper franchise before.
It's feature our community has been asking us for for ages... and well... we finally got it!






[h3]We will finally reveal how building from scratch functions in House Flipper 2![/h3]

This is honestly one of the biggest steps for the whole franchise, at least I personally believe so!
For the last couple of months we tried polishing more and more rough edges, to create something that is functional and looks nice at the same time.

Saying that, I still have to mention that of course, building from scratch is here, but there are still some finishing touches we will have to apply before the grand release! Of course you will be able to ask us anything during the stream, so feel welcome to join the stream and chat with us!

Another big thing is that we've prepared a little form which can be found RIGHT HERE, where you can tell us what kind of house you would like us to build on the stream!
We will pick one of the ideas and make that happen! YAY!


[hr][/hr]Can't wait to see you and talk to you about building your dream houses! See you on 23rd! ~ Reczberg together with grateful developers from Frozen District :)

Flippers!
Welcome to another House Flipper 2 Development Blog, the first one in 2023!
We're doing our best to make this year a breakthrough for all the House Flipper lovers and the whole House Flipper franchise, and we would love to let you know how much we appreciate you being here, and experiencing this development adventure with us!

[h3]New year, new House Flipper 2 sneak peeks![/h3]

This time, together with our lead designer - Tomek, we prepared an introduction to some of the mechanics you'll be able to use in House Flipper 2.
We included a couple of comparisons to let you know how our design ideas evolved and changed compared to the original House Flipper. I hope that this devlog can briefly show you why we decide to go for certain ideas, but remember... all of us working on the game are always open for your suggestions, especially now when we can still change a lot when it comes to our design decisions.

(Yes, the picture you can see on the thumnail is actually a wall built and painted in HF2)

On top of that, you can see the mentioned mechanics in action (and find out more about HF2) in our recent stream highlight video, where Xibuk and Reczberg play an alpha version of the game and have a little chit chat about some of the behind the scenes secrets!

[h3]Finally, let's have a word about the nearest future plans![/h3]

In February, we will meet you in yet another Development Blog, and we plan it to be a spicy one! Then, somewhere around February / March, we're planning to host the second House Flipper 2 Developer Stream, where we'll show you our progress and talk about more mechanics and new features of the game. Stay tuned and be there!!

For now that's it, once again thanks to everyone who recently decided to join us and throw House Flipper 2 on their wishlist, it really means a lot to us. We can't wait to reveal more about the project and see your reactions!


See you in February!

Our first official House Flipper 2 development blog is live!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1190970/House_Flipper_2/

For this one, we've decided to choose a very special topic.
We've noticed a huge evolution in our perspective on the aspect of storytelling in House Flipper in recent years. This evolution brought a couple of crucial changes, so we thought it would be fun to briefly explain how it contributes to the future of the franchise:

"How did the world of House Flipper 2 begin?"
"Does a game like House Flipper even need lore?"
"What have we learned from working on storytelling in the original House Flipper?"
"Who's the leading supportive character in House Flipper 2?"

Our narrative designer - Simli, and UX designer - Jay, went ahead to give you the answers, so feel free to click on that 'play' button and enjoy the show!

But wait, there's more!

Flippers!
Honestly, I have no idea how to start this announcement, as the excitement is simply waaay too much!
This is the first one that you're going to see on the House Flipper 2 Steam page, so feel free to find yourself a nice comfortable spot, and join us on this long-awaited presentation of the game.

Today we can finally shed some light on a title that is really something extraordinary for everyone here at Frozen District, and hopefully for all the House Flipper fans scattered around the globe.
The first House Flipper 2 trailer just went live, and even though it is showcasing a very early, pre-alpha version of the game, there's definitely a lot to be excited about.

We would like to welcome you, to the new era of flipping!

Now... that's not all!
You probably know how at Frozen District, we always emphasize the fact that essentially, the community of House Flipper is kind of a fuel for us, the developers of the game. A playerbase that shows not only incredible amounts of passion for the game but also provides new ideas, suggestions, and feedback, is just golden! We always knew that listening to the voice of our community is a step toward the right direction... and look how far we've come! We're so proud, not only of ourselves but also proud of all the Flippers who's been with us on this remarkable journey.

That is why we would like to ask you guys to join us in the process of developing House Flipper 2.
We are thrilled to announce an upcoming series of House Flipper 2 developer blogs where we're going to provide lots of insight into what we're currently working on. You can expect showcases of various aspects of the development process, as well as getting to know the developers behind them. Lots of juicy details included!

A new developer blog will go live each month from now on, so make sure to stay tuned and add House Flipper 2 to your Steam wishlist!

Now, without any further ado, here's a little video we've prepared as an introduction to the developer blog series. Enjoy!

As an ending note, we want to let you know that we're lucky to be a part of EGX 2022 happening in London, where we're presenting a demo version of House Flipper 2. It's simply a delight to see flippers come up to us and share their experience with the game, so come meet us if you're around!




Once again, big thanks to all of the Flippers. You're the best!
Stay tuned, and we hope to talk to you soon.

Have a fantastic weekend!
