House Flipper News

[h3]Dear Flippers![/h3]
[hr][/hr]We know that the release of Farm DLC has been rough for many of you, as there were things blocking your progress, crashing the game for ya, and causing all kinds of different bugs and optimization problems. I feel like you guys deserve an apology and an explanation.

First of all, I'd like to thank all of you guys for reporting the issues you faced. Thanks to all the log files that you sent us, we were able to take a closer look at a plethora of issues and fix them extremely quickly! Other issues, were not so easy to track through the logs, but we managed to fix them anyway!

It turns out that most of the problems happening with Farm DLC were related to its unwanted dependencies on some other DLCs, Pets DLC in particular.


[h3]Let's go into detail.[/h3]
[hr][/hr]

- Getting stuck on loading screens should now be fixed!
- House photographing has been blocking the progress for many of you... Not anymore!
- Building from scratch should now work properly. Go get your architect tool!
- Pouring water for your hens is not going to be problematic anymore.
- Chicken coop assembly should be a walk in the park from now on!
- Vastly improved the visualisation of the final position of your roof during roof placement.
- All the little translation bloopers are now gone!
- Fixed a bug with door and window variants resetting when building house extensions.
- Fixed the pesky grass that was causing problems for players who don't own Garden DLC.
- We've heard that Molly's house had some roof problems. Fixed!
- We took care of the Windmill house loading issue and threw in a few environment optimizations.
- Any problems with scrolling through houses in your laptop should now be gone.
- Fixed a bug related to the ability to build extensions outside the plot.
- Got rid of visual task list errors in case of too many tasks.
- Farm DLC animal icons have been fixed.
- Improvements to bunny movement
- Shop filtering issues have been filtered... hehe!
- Fixed the Freestand Bathtub shop icon.

... and a couple of other tiny improvements and slight optimization tweaks!


UPDATE 17.04:
- Fixed 2 types of issues that were causing a freeze in the photo mode.
- The Farm DLC order map will work smoothly now. No more screen locks!
- Various item assembly issues have been fixed.
- Tiling and painting your balcony floors, as well as platforms works properly now!
- Farm DLC for Mac users is now fully available.


Make sure that your game is properly updating!
The version that you should see in the main menu is 1.23105 (4d8b3)
If you cannot see any updates in your library and the version is different than the one mentioned, try to restart Steam or verify the integrity of game files.


[h3]We're not stopping here![/h3]
[hr][/hr]We will continue to work on additional optimization tweaks and any new issues that arise.
We'd like to thank you for your support and understanding.
Meanwhile, we wanted to say sorry and let you know that because of this situation, we've launched a new sale, so if you'd like to try other House Flipper content while waiting for additional fixes for the Farm DLC, you now have a chance to grab them on some solid discounts:

[hr][/hr]- 10 new story orders!
- 9 farm properties in a unique environment!
- 3 empty plots for you to build on!
- 7 exciting mechanics, including the possibility of building extensions of your house!
- Over 1500 farm-themed items!

Next week is going to be a big one! We're finally about to release the long-awaited Farm DLC, which is one of our biggest House Flipper DLCs ever! The amount of sheer creativity and hours of work spent on this one project is simply enormous, and we're feeling extremely proud.





[h3]Here are some sneak peeks from the guys at Frozen Way to make things a little bit more spicy:[/h3]
[hr][/hr]If you've ever dreamed of becoming an architect, now it's easier than ever. The Architect tool allows you to build a house from scratch on an empty lot. As one of the most important features coming in the Farm DLC, Architect Tool stands out because of its versatility. Expand your home renovation repertoire by adding floors to your new abode. To make things easier, we created a mobile scaffolding that will make planning and placing floors faster than ever!

PS: You can use Architect tool in most of the houses from the base game and other DLC's.

Yep... that's what the empty plots are for.

If you are worried about raindrops falling on your head – you can feel safe. Architect tool arsenal doesn't stop on making new floors. You can also create custom roofs for your houses. Every outbuilding from now on will be unique – the kind you design yourself!



You might have previously seen us showing the drone with picture-making ability. We've decided that wasn't enough and added one more feature – It turns out that you can now water your plants with it!



To make your farming adventure more authentic, we've included one more item in our game. Now you can build your greenhouse and grow your plants in style.



The Farm DLC is not just about house flipping. It's also about the animals we raise and care for. Look at these chickens, – we all know those are little dinosaurs! — sheep, and happily jumping goat, so cute!
Ahhh, I can feel that rural charm.



We didn't forget about house flipper vanilla players either! We've prepared a few improvements and innovations that will debut in the base game along with the Farm DLC release.

Are you feeling tired? Do you need a break from work? Don't worry. We've got you covered. Thanks to the sleeping mechanic, you can rest, skip time, and return for more flipping adventures!



Time for changes. We've heard you loud and clear – no more slow tiling. We decided to improve this mechanic to make flipping more fun. From now on, you can mark a larger area on the wall and make it look brand-new with just one click!



We also have something for those who love evenly trimmed grass! The DLC introduces a lot of large plots of land, so we decided to enlarge the mowing area in order to make it faster and more satisfying.

In previous devlogs, we've also shown the increased range of colors we’ve prepared our paints. Expect to find them in the base game as well, after the release of the Farm DLC!
