☃️ Major Update Preview - Cozy Christmas! 🎄

Ho ho ho! 🎅

The winter season is getting wild so here we come with the final Major Update of 2024 that will allow you to start your Christmas preparations in House Flipper 2! With this update, we have quite a lot of stuff for ya, both content and news-wise.
Let's unwrap the presents and take a peek at what's inside:


[h3]🎁 The "Cozy Christmas" Update comes on December 12![/h3][hr][/hr]
We're delivering a sweet chunk of content to make your snowy house designs possible! In this announcement, you can expect a bit of a sneak peek, and on December 12, you'll be able to download the update for free and check out all of its content! Along with the release you might want to go through the patch-notes list and hang out with us on the Xmas dev stream! A new Community Contest is also on the way!


So the first thing to show you should be snow... LOTS OF SNOW!

A quick snapshot of the new environment!


Then we of course have a snowy house unlocked upon completing a new heartwarming job!

Yup, that will need some more lights and garlands! MAKE IT SHINE!


We're throwing in a bunch of new items (260 of them to be exact!) like Christmas decorations, cute nightlights, and much more!

Undeniably cute!


We've really put some effort into bringing you options to choose from!


And a little something for the assembly lovers!

Build it yourself!

As always, we'll post a full list of additions and changes once the update comes out on December 12. In addition to new content, you can expect some minor fixes and quality-of-life improvements.



[h3]🔴 Remember about the upcoming Xmas Dev Livestream! [/h3][hr][/hr]

A bunch of spicy topics on this one, right?

December 12, 6:00 PM CET! Be there or be square!

[h3]🌲 In the meantime, you gotta check something out![/h3][hr][/hr]
There's a fun new project we are currently working on. A cozy game called Your Tree!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

It is a cozy, relaxing game about growing trees. You choose every detail, such as trunks and leaves, change the tree's colors, and decide on ornaments around... your tree! A perfect experience to let off some steam.

If you enjoy the idea and would like to show it some love, add Your Tree to your Steam Wishlist:

📢 The final major DLC for the original House Flipper launched this week!

[hr][/hr][h3]🍔 Dine Out DLC for House Flipper 1 just came out![/h3]

It might be one of the most intriguing and innovative DLCs for HF1, make sure to check it out, especially if House Flipper 1 still holds a place in your heart! ❤️

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2819590/House_Flipper__Dine_Out_DLC

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
The "Renting" feature looks great! Instead of selling your flipped properties, select a rent price and receive a steady flow of money while renting.


The team at Frozen Way also made sure to update the base game along with this DLC release, so even if Dine Out DLC is not something you were looking forward to, maybe a couple of free new features might look worthwhile:

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

A good example would be the fact that now you can reset houses from your office in case something goes wrong or you simply want to repeat it. If you do so, you’ll be refunded 60% of the money spent on that house.


[hr][/hr][h3]🔥 November was an HF1 month, but in December, HF2 steals the spotlight![/h3]

Oh, but before we talk about the incoming HF2 content, don't forget about the Steam Awards!
We'll be honored if you feel like we deserve your nomination:

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/613100/view/4479488435875218358

Now... you probably know that we're still not finished with what was presented on our roadmap for this year! At the moment, all I can say is that the date 12/12 might be considered a special one for the House Flipper 2 fans! All you should know for now, is that it's the date of our next dev stream (and you may know what usually comes with that :P)



That's right, some new announcements and additions are coming soon!
Meanwhile, take a look at the currently available record-high discounts:
