Pets DLC Release Date Devlog!

Hey, Flippers! 🏠🐶

It's been a while since our last development update, in which the main focus was on our meow friend 😺 We're glad that you like the progress we've made so far, and once again, we've wanted to thank you for your support! Today's development update will be unique – we've got a new trailer for ya, some new mechanics to show, and most importantly, we've finally got an exact release date! Ready to jump into the Cozy Village? Without further ado, let's get started!

What better way to start an update than by showing you our new trailer? Are you hyped as much as I'm? Let us know in the comments, and for now – enjoy the trailer 🎬

Also, celebrating the date release, we thought about organizing a little giveaway!

Let's get back for a while to our kitty. Since our last development update, we've prepared a new lair. Check it out below, and let us know what you think.




It's been a while since we've shared some mechanics regarding man's best friend, so it's high time to share some of them with ya' all. We hope that you're gonna spend as much time as possible playing with your four-legged companion, because who doesn't love it, right?



Have you missed the parrots? We've missed them too, so we thought it would be the perfect time to show them to you. I'll be honest with you – they remind me of a strange but funny photo with wolves laughing. Can you guess which photo it is? Let us know in the comments!




We've also managed to prepare something special for those of you who cannot wait for some more marine creatures (or rather pets, right?). And trust me, you've got to see this because you're gonna love it as much as I do!




As you already know, House Flipper – Pets DLC will bring you, brand-new mechanics, such as ceiling painting (we’re glad that you love it), door and stair installation, but also you’ll have the opportunity to add some bulbs to brighten up your dream house. Recently, we’ve come up with some variations to the bulbs. Feel free to let us know what you think about them.






Oh… I almost forgot – some of the players already got a chance to play the DLC, and we're astonished by the creations they've made. Just check some of them below.










That'd be it flipuurrrrrs! Thank you for being with us on this journey. We see each other on May 12th, 2022, when House Flipper – Pets DLC launches on Steam. If, in any case, you still haven't added the DLC to your wishlist, you can do it now:

House Flipper added F.R.I.E.N.D.S. apartments for April Fool's Day

April Fool's Day mostly exists to demonstrate that marketing people are not funny, but I do like when developers follow through and actually make daft jokes reality. Case in point: renovate 'em up House Flipper has added two apartments from F.R.I.E.N.D.S. for you to fix up. You can refresh the 90s vibes of Rachel & Monica's flat, and make Chandler & Joey's flat at least somewhat resemble a place fit for human habitation. I approve of this April Foolishness.

April Fools' Day came early this year! And what's going on with the steam cloud?

Hey Flippers!

April Fools' Day came early this year - it's still the 31st of March where we live, but you can already download our newest update, duh!



Imagine you're one of the B.U.D.D.I.E.S living in New York with a bunch of the craziest people on this Earth. Strangely enough, someone is literally recording your life on camera, you're going viral all around the world, and people are obsessing over some weird gadgets with your face on them. Finally, it's the 1st of April, and it looks like your apartment appears in the BEST GAME about RENOVATING HOUSES. Geez, what a life!

I'm counting on you to FLIP THE HELL OUT OF THE NEW APARTMENTS, guys!

  • Two new, quite friendly houses to flip!

  • A new plushie. Haunting entity not included.
  • A new carpet and panels.
  • Two new tables and a tea table. You can't drink coffee on this one - it's a major offense.

  • (Garden DLC) The pool shouldn't get scared and hide inside the house in "Job: Lawn and pool" anymore.
  • (Luxury DLC) We've fixed the ocean evaporation speed in "Historic House".




As for the Steam Cloud issue - we've been a little bit inactive here for the last couple of days as we're just simply trying to figure out what goes wrong for those of you still experiencing Steam Cloud issues. We've been trying a handful of actions looking for a solution, but after going through our whole Steam Cloud configuration for House Flipper, it seems that everything should be working as intended.
That is why yesterday we decided to contact Steam staff for further research on the problem, and at the moment, we're waiting for their answer.

I will keep you informed when we manage to find any clues that may lead us to the source of this issue.

All the best,
Frozen District Team
