[h3]🌋 The "Floor is Lava" Community Contest was an amazing experience![/h3]

[h3]🛠️ House Flipper 2's CO-OP Mode is finally here![/h3]

🚧 Well... almost... we need your help Flippers! 🚧
With your support, we hope to greatly improve the CO-OP Mode based on your feedback and suggestions!
For now, we've been testing it for quite some time, and we know that there are lots of things we'd love you to take a look at and tell us what you think about them, and what kind of new ideas you'd like to see implemented into this long-awaited feature.


Take part in our new giveaway, in which you get the chance to win access to the first-ever HF2 CO-OP Mode Test!

To do that, simply click on THIS LINK, or on the image below ⤵️




Best of luck to all of ya, can't wait to see you in House Flipper 2's CO-OP Mode! ❤️

[hr][/hr]
A lot of our players were mad about the entry options in this giveaway, and they were totally right!
Putting potential CO-OP access behind a wall wasn't a fair move on our side. 😳

⭐ I'm opening this giveaway to everyone with a free entry option! ⭐
You can now hop in and click the "FREE ENTRY" button to get in.

Considering that a lot of people have already gone through the hassle of completing the current entry options, I'm planning to keep those as a way to support us and get bonus entries.

If you overall don't like Gleam.io, we totally get it, and we're also looking for an alternative platform/way for hosting giveaways, let us know if you have any ideas for that! 🤔

Feeling lost in all the news, announcements, posts, and updates?

You're a veteran flipper but have other games to play too and simply can't keep up??

You love watching YouTube videos where all the details are handed to you on a platter???

Let us know whatcha think! ❤️❤️

We're super proud to announce that our cooperation with AMD led to some new spicy results!
Today, House Flipper 2 receives one of the biggest updates in terms of visuals and performance.

AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3) is a big step towards making House Flipper 2 much smoother without having to step down on your preferred quality settings. It offers both upscaling and frame generation to help you achieve a new level of visual fidelity!

Check out the video preview showcasing this new feature:

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Along with that, we also brought a couple of new maintenance changes, some of them specifically aimed at improving the situation for people experiencing motion sickness symptoms when playing HF2!
If you're one of those flippers, please let us know if that helped you even a little bit! ❤️


[hr][/hr][h3]📑 Lets take a look at the patch notes section:[/h3]


Maintanance:

• FSR updated to version 3 - enabling this option should improve the game's frame rate.
  
• Head camera position adjusted to reduce motion sickness.
  
• Default field of view changed from 60 to 70 - this adjustment should be better suited for people experiencing motion sickness.
  
• Instances where houses lose materials from walls and floors should no longer occur. However, materials that were lost before the update will not be restored.
  
• Damaged house files should no longer cause players to become stuck on an endless loading screen.
  
• Optimization of larger plots.
