House Flipper News

Flippers!
Honestly, I have no idea how to start this announcement, as the excitement is simply waaay too much!
This is the first one that you're going to see on the House Flipper 2 Steam page, so feel free to find yourself a nice comfortable spot, and join us on this long-awaited presentation of the game.

Today we can finally shed some light on a title that is really something extraordinary for everyone here at Frozen District, and hopefully for all the House Flipper fans scattered around the globe.
The first House Flipper 2 trailer just went live, and even though it is showcasing a very early, pre-alpha version of the game, there's definitely a lot to be excited about.

We would like to welcome you, to the new era of flipping!

Now... that's not all!
You probably know how at Frozen District, we always emphasize the fact that essentially, the community of House Flipper is kind of a fuel for us, the developers of the game. A playerbase that shows not only incredible amounts of passion for the game but also provides new ideas, suggestions, and feedback, is just golden! We always knew that listening to the voice of our community is a step toward the right direction... and look how far we've come! We're so proud, not only of ourselves but also proud of all the Flippers who's been with us on this remarkable journey.

That is why we would like to ask you guys to join us in the process of developing House Flipper 2.
We are thrilled to announce an upcoming series of House Flipper 2 developer blogs where we're going to provide lots of insight into what we're currently working on. You can expect showcases of various aspects of the development process, as well as getting to know the developers behind them. Lots of juicy details included!

As an ending note, we want to let you know that we're lucky to be a part of EGX 2022 happening in London, where we're presenting a demo version of House Flipper 2. It's simply a delight to see flippers come up to us and share their experience with the game, so come meet us if you're around!




Once again, big thanks to all of the Flippers. You're the best!
Stay tuned, and we hope to talk to you soon.

Have a fantastic weekend!

Howdy, Flippers 👋

We have something BIG for you today!

THE RELEASE DATE OF THE FARM DLC IS SET, Flippers, so be ready in March 2023 to build, plant, gather, relax, and much more! Furthermore, we’re all excited to share the new trailer with you. No tickets are needed what's left is to sit, watch, and enjoy. Every opinion would be an asset, so throw them at us in the comments. 🎬

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Also, you can now take a look at House Flipper 2's steam page - don't forget to wishlist the sequel if you like what you see, duh! 🔥



Once the dust settles, let’s proceed. It’s been a little over a month since the last House Flipper Farm DLC – development update, so we’d like to thank you for your feedback, opinions, and warm words under the latest devlog. Now’s the time to jump into the news section.

WHAT’S NEW?

Today, we’d like to present some of our work in progress. From enviro, through the minimap, new mechanic, new animation, and more. All right, it’s time for some farming!

MECHANICS

As you can see, we’ve implemented an inventory on your tablets! With this freshly new and still-in-progress feature, you can store all your collections in one place.



In addition to the new inventory, we implemented an option to take out a certain amount of your crops and then collect them at once. Aren’t those top-class potatoes? Have you spotted more veggies *wink? 🥔



It’s nap time!

We've thought that some of you'd like to change the time for your daily flipping routine. That’s why we’d like to present a brand-new feature we’re constantly working on. Now, you choose the time, click the button, and wake up at the specific moment. Check it on your own and tell us what options you saw.



If you’ve rested enough, let’s make a trip around the map. As you can see, we’ve prepared for you a spacious landscape based on climatic gold plains with coniferous forests to create a farming vibe.



If you’re curious about the whereabouts of this environment, we come with aid. Take a look at the minimap, from where you can choose the jobs to do.



ITEMS

For a better view, we’ve prepared a set of new unique windows to make your apartments modern and stylish. It’s a fresh idea but has changed a lot. Let’s stop walking for a moment and try to relax while drinking tea and looking outside the house.



How do you like the animation?



Ever wanted to be a rockstar? Now it’s possible with our new rocking chairs! Now even you can feel that swinging vibe and sing your favorite songs while chilling on the porch.



We’ve heard your voice that you lack kitchen tools, so it pushed us to make some for you. Can you feel a fresh floating aroma in your rooms? So we do! With our mixer, whisk, wooden spoon, and more, you can spice up your dining rooms a bit.



Pssst: Wanna taste something sweet? We have some little jars with homemade preserves. They’re waiting for you to place them in your house and put some warmth and a sentimental childhood feeling.



So, that would be it for today’s development update. We hope that you liked our little showcase. We'd like to remind you that the game release will be in March 2023, so stay tuned for future information. You can always follow our game, add us to your wishlist on our Steam page, and follow our social media channels to keep up to date.

Howdy, fellow Flippers! 👋

Here we are, even more excited than the last time! As the Farm DLC development is heading the right way, we’re once again super grateful for your recent support and all the questions regarding the DLC. We’ll be slowly shedding more light on this project, and this time, we have a little advice for you – sit back, put on some cozy banjo music, and enjoy this building-themed Farm DLC devlog! 🧰

Also, along with the second development update, we’d like to give you a chance of winning some exciting prizes! Let’s not waste any more time, and ENTER THE GIVEAWAY NOW! All the details are available in the link or after clicking the image below:

[h2]What’s new:[/h2]


[h3]Mechanics[/h3]

Can we build it? Yes, we can!

After listening to your suggestions, we’ve concluded that current apartments are pretty small and certainly a bit too limited at their core. Therefore, check out the new “extension” mechanics we've been working on lately.
Please keep in mind that it's still a work in progress. 🏠

Stop! Hammer time! 🔨

Tiles, and a bit of willpower, can turn even the most shabby rooftop into a glittering one. Along with our new roof repairing mechanics that we're improving, you'll get a chance to work at heights and make your houses even more classy.

[h3]Items[/h3]

We thought it would be nice to show you a bunch of new items we've been working on lately.

Firstly, we're bringing some new gate models and animations – let us know if you like them. 🚪

Let's not forget about wheelbarrows! A farmer wouldn’t survive the hardship of his work without his loyal one-wheeled friend. Let’s be honest, there would be no countryside without them…

Furthermore, we have a weathercock. Just imagine all the creaking sounds.

They can be your gates to the farmer's world



Can you hear the creaks?


Attention! Cuteness overload incoming! 👀

Sooo, we’ve also prepared some fancy plush toys inspired by farm life. The goat, sheep, horse, and llama will accompany you during the warm evenings as you watch the fruits and vegetables ripen.



If that wasn’t enough, we give you an additional portion of cuteness, presenting more cute plushies! 😻

Make some noise for them in the comments!!



[h3]Environment[/h3]

When it comes to surroundings, we decided to showcase a new farm-themed mailbox that is a part of the Farm DLC exclusive environment. A cute little barn on a pillar! Isn't that astonishing? 📬

Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks could say: "You’ve got mail"


[hr][/hr]
[h2]Keep up with the latest[/h2]

Okay Flippers, we've come to the end of this development update. We hope you liked our building-themed showcase, which shed new light on a few mechanics and items. It would be awesome if you could share your thoughts and feedback.
We've heard your questions about the frequency of our devlogs, so we'd like to announce that a new Farm DLC devlog is going to be coming every 2 months.
As always, we recommend you follow us on social media to keep up-to-date with all the recent news.

If you’re curious how our friends from Frozen Way are doing, we have a little surprise for you! They’ve just released the first-ever development update of Honeycomb! It’s still warm, and you can find some cute animals in it.

Since the last dev update, we've been repeating one phrase: work, work.

All this effort in order to deliver as many things as possible with the Pawsome Update. To be honest: without you, there would be nothing, so before we proceed to the main course, we’d like to thank you once again for the enormous amount of feedback, which inspired us in different matters. With every comment you shared, the distance to our goal was shrinking, as we were more and more aware of any missing pieces in the Pets DLC content list.

Also, thanks to all your recent bug reports, many fixes made their way to the game along with the release of this update. We hope that now the DLC will be as shiny as freshly brushed fur. ✨

Knowing that many of you can't wait for what is yet to come, we say: paws on the table, here comes a new trailer!
