House Flipper News

Spring Update comes with the biggest Farm DLC news to this date!

[h3]The spring season is so close, and Farm DLC is not far behind![/h3]

I have no idea about you guys, but I'm kind of done with the winter already! Let the spring finally come!
We welcome its arrival with a fresh Spring Update, that you can already find in House Flipper:
  • A brand new property, located in some deep woods - a lakeside treehouse!
  • Players can now lay floor tiles on their balconies, a change many of you asked for!
  • A set of new light switches to better fit the vibes of your interior designs.
  • A bunch of interactive blinds that will add a touch of elegance and sun protection!
  • A broad range of furniture pieces, mainly in a modern loft office style.
  • Optimization improvements and minor bug fixes that should help with the recent in-game issues.

The spring season also brings us closer and closer to our long-awaited release, which is of course the DLC we've been working on for more than a year already - the Farm DLC!

Today, on a little surprise developer stream, we had the pleasure to show you lots of different Farm DLC gameplay aspects, and finally announce the release date!!

Lights out, it’s showtime! 📺

[h3]House Flipper Farm DLC release date announced - 13th of April 2023![/h3]

It’s official! Get ready for the farming adventure of your life and a new experience in the countryside.
With this grand announcement, we're also proud to present one of the last (if not the last) of the Farm DLC Development Blogs.

Before we proceed to the main course, we’d like to thank you for your support and feedback under the last devlog.
A long time ago, we showed you an early WIP version of house extensions. Today it’s time for a quick guide to the Architect Tool. It’s one of the most important mechanics in the game, and now you can see how it's changed from the last time. Besides that, you’re going to see wood cutting and a new way of painting. Without further ado, let’s get Flipping!



[h3]Architect tool[/h3]

Alright, Flippers, let’s start with the basics. First, we need foundations. Use the Architect tool from the menu, and see what you can do with it:



After you’ve reached the desired shape of your extension, let it rise. Wish we could build things quickly like this in real life, don’t you think?



Now let’s proceed to the most important stage – connecting the extension with the building. It’s as easy as it looks, just move foundations close to the house, and connect them when the icon shows up.



But that’s not everything! We thought that you may want to create inner walls with the Architect tool. Now it’s possible. Plan them while creating foundations, and they’ll appear inside your extended house.





What’s left is to install new doors and connect both houses to make it whole. Now you can enjoy and decorate everything as you desire.



With creation, there also comes destruction. Our goal was to let you be free with your decisions, that’s why we’ve implemented the ability to cancel the extension, even when it's fully done.





[h3]Paint gun[/h3]

Tired of carrying a heavy can of paint? Bored with that slow and manual paint roller? Time for changes! Welcome to the new era of painting, Flippers. Get ready for this unexpected tool, which will let you fasten your work, and make it easy and comfortable. I’d like to present to you our new Paint gun! Fill it with your favorite color of paint, and let’s get started!









[h3]Chainsaw[/h3]

A true farmer can’t work without proper tools. Our next one is a chainsaw. Remember to be cautious, safety first.







[h3]Animals[/h3]

We’ve come to the end of this update, but before I close, let me show you those cuties!
It’s time to feed them, rub them, and love them.







[h3]Keep up to date[/h3]

That would be it for today’s development update, Flippers. I hope you liked our little showcase and get ready for the exciting day of the 13th of April – Farm DLC release.

Farm DLC Devlog #5 – Another house? New Character? IS THAT A PIGGY?!

Howdy, fellow Flippers! 🚜

We’re back with our development update a little faster this time, and we’ve got some good stuff around the corner! I’ve always wanted to make an overview of our project, so I guess this time has finally come.

Furthermore, I'd like to add that in this DLC you'll get a lot of farmer-themed features, not just typical items and jobs. You'll be able to do even more things around your house and immerse yourself in the farming life to the fullest.

However, before we proceed to the main course, I’d love to thank you for your comments and honest opinion on the latest news. It means a lot and helps us focus on things you find important.. Feel free to give us feedback this time as well.

Without further ado, let the show begin!


[h3]New House[/h3]

You must be curious about what’s inside this suburban-looking brick house. Aren’t you? I can’t tell you everything, but be prepared for some tasty, foodie-flipping job! I feel it’s going to go viral on the owner's YouTube channel.

[h3]New character[/h3]

That's Lily. You could’ve seen her on our social media channels, but for those who didn’t let me introduce her.
She is known as a perfect wife and a pretty good rancher. But her precious cow, Molly, got lost. As though that's not enough, her barn got damaged. It seems, flippers, that your help is needed.

[h3]Mechanics[/h3]

The leaves have fallen, and it’s pretty messy in your backyard. The best thing you can do is to blow them away. Why not use our new tool? Especially for occasions like this, we’ve prepared a Leaf Blower. Make your garden a little windy, and let the leaves fly away!

Oh no, Flippers, look! It was so sunny just a few minutes ago! Now it's raining everywhere. Let's wear a coat so we won’t get wet!
As you can see, immersion is one of our goals and that's why we've made a dynamic weather system. There will be a few weather conditions, but now let's enjoy those chill raindrops.

Alright, guys, I don't know what to say... This thing totally blindsided us. The grappling hook jumped out of nowhere in the latest devlog, and you fell in love with it. And here it is! The tool is in its full glory. Let’s jump around and tell us how you like it.

Take a deep breath, and imagine a warm evening on your farm. You chill on your balcony while taking in the scenery. Sounds pretty cool, right?
Thanks to our new mechanic, now it's possible. Try to redecorate your outside walls and make more space for our brand new feature. Take a look through the window and see what's outside. We're curious how you like it – the comment section is yours.

But that’s not all! If you want to change the way they look, try putting some panels on them.


Oink…
Oh, sorry, it’s just my piggy. Want to know what is so special about it? She has a keen eye for truffles. In addition to its pink skin and twisted tail, she can also find diamonds among mushrooms.

PS: Oh, how I could've forgotten. Every animal in the Farm DLC will give you a special kind of resource!




[h3]Items[/h3]

And last but not least, We’ve prepared some new items that will increase your immersion while playing our DLC.

We need more HORSE power! That's why we've made those obstacles for you to test your skills! Jump over them and have fun playing jockey!



After the fun, there is always time for resting. Take your horse back to its box and let it chill until the next adventure.



We didn't forget about our lovely hens! They're excited about their new houses! I personally love their little homes, and I wonder if you find them just as charming as I do. Let me know in the comments below.



Please, don’t hang up yet. I know I’ve already flooded you with awesome new stuff, but do you have a minute to talk about your car’s… I mean, your solar panels’ extended warranty?



Why don’t you take a look at the kitchen? Those shelves are begging you to put some jars on them.




[h3]Base Builder Fest[/h3]

One last piece of news for you, guys. Steam Base Builder Fest starts today at 7 PM CEST, and our friends from Honeycomb made something cool that you can check out now on their Steam Page:
