When you enter the menu of your game, at the bottom of the screen you will see the 'PHOTOMODE' button.

Competition!!!
Along with the introduction of the new mode, we have a photo contest for you - Show off your talent and take pictures of your houses - the most creative and crazy works will be rewarded - we plan to award the best works with game keys to other games of our studio!

We never thought we would be so successful, and it is also thanks to you! We would like to thank you very much for your support, but also your forbearance at times. Without you, the game wouldn't have developed, and thanks to you, we have the motivation to release more updates and developments🏡. That is why I would like to announce to you today that we are planning further updates soon.[/h3]
[h3]🔥Planned, upcoming updates:🔥[/h3]
- House Creator - the ability to design your house from scratch and possibility to share them with other players - you will be able to exchange your designs on Workshop Steam! You will be able to build another player's house, while they can build yours!;
