You still have a chance to join the House Flipper 2 Monster Mansion Contest! As always with our contests, this one lasts for about a month, so November 30 is the last day for you to submit your entry!

One of the cool things about this contest is that you don't have to take one of the top spots to receive some epic prizes!
Logitech G sponsors those, and the guys there were nice enough to send us enough shiny gaming gear for us to award the winners, and on top of that, run a raffle for all the participants! Yay!

First of all, we wanted to specify our perspective on content of "violent nature":

"The game should be limiting enough to not let our players go ham with this, but just in case, (as we know how creative you guys can be!) we wanna point out that everything is generally okay EXCEPT bodies/body parts. If you're still worried or not sure if your contest entry might be too brutal, contact @Reczberg through our House Flipper Community Discord, and ask directly!"


Secondly, I'm super glad that we're constantly getting feedback regarding the ruleset for Community Contests.

Proud of you guys! Even though sometimes it's not easy to read through all of the feedback we're getting, we can always count on you when it comes to discussing the future of the game, and the contests as well! I feel like the contests are an awesome journey for both the devs and the community, and I'm glad that I can count on your opinions, especially considering the fact that we don't have a lot of experience with running community events of this caliber. You're awesome! ❤️

On a side note, keep in mind that this month is not only the month of one of our most epic contests but also a big month for all the HF1 fans!

Dine Out DLC comes out on November 26, and we cannot wait to see you there, checking out all the fresh possibilities that this DLC brings to the original House Flipper!

Come up with a monster-themed property (it can be based on ANY monster - one you know or just made up!) and on top of that make sure that the house shares some spicy details about the monstrous host's Halloween plans! Are the witches meeting up for a party? Or is it a bunch of banshees planning a ball? Did someone mention a corpse cookout?!

Unleash your building (and storytelling!) creativity! 👻

The Summer Getaway Community Contest[mod.io] is now closed and the entries have been evaluated!
This one took a lot of effort from our jury, as with such an open theme, the creativity came in many different forms, and the winning projects really showcase that!
In the end, we really loved delving into all the different approaches and unique ideas!

Regarding Community Contests on Mod.io in general, we're extremely glad with how it's going and we feel lucky to have a community that's always ready to bring their A-game within the Sandbox Mode!

The next Community Contest comes around the end of October...
you can probably guess the theme! (SPOOKCITING!! 🎃)

Remember that you can download all of these houses and check them out yourself!
To find the links, go to the description of the above YouTube video or simply click the links found below:

1. Enbesa Retreat by hamt4ro[mod.io]
INNNNNSANE! This is the absolute top level of Sandbox Mode in House Flipper 2.
Let's address the elephant in the room - all the irregular, asymmetric, and oddly-angled elements, that manage to complement each other so well! Hamt4ro's masterful combination of those creates an incredibly unique design. It feels like discovering a new architectural style with something surprising waiting for you around almost every corner!

2. Coastal Cottage by jessfess27[mod.io]
The coziness went through the roof with this one! What we really (and I mean REALLY) loved here is the color/material management and all the surrounding additions implemented into the environment. Messing with the surroundings outside of the set land borders is easier said than done, but Jessfess27 proved that this doesn't limit real creativity! Hours of effort and a truly great eye for creating the perfect cozy vacation vibe. Immaculate!

3. Camp Chevaler by LisaMockingbird[mod.io]
Summer camp time! What instantly caught our attention are the wonderful custom elements and all the clutter that makes the whole place look soooo lived in! Amazing attention to detail and some ideas we've never seen before! LisaMockingbird captured the summer camp vibe incredibly well, and on top of that showcased astonishing creativity and innovation.

4. A Suitcase in the Sand by Super_Kupo[mod.io]
We were fascinated by this outstanding design! Upon closer inspection, we realized how many of the little items are actually custom pieces created by combining already existing items. The attention to detail even with places that are not initially visible (inside drawers etc.) is intriguing! A very cool idea combined with lots of Sandbox Mode experience and precise execution!

5. Summertime by Shortfatguy13[mod.io]
STAR WARS FANS UNITE! Yup... that's when we realized everybody may have a very different vision of a "Summer Getaway" project. And oh wow... this one is a special one! So Shortfatguy13 decided he'd love to spend his summer on a distant island on which he landed his MASSIVE MILLENNIUM FALCON.
Oh, did someone ask if the Falcon is just a shell? ...Sweetie this is an HF2 Community Contest, of course it has a fully designed interior! Oh, and don't forget the fully-kitted underground mansion!
This is crazy and we love it!

6. Tropical Dream by Natka_96[mod.io]
A remarkable modern villa! A place that many people could surely call their dream summer destination! One of the best modern-style designs we've seen, with a plethora of very detailed and carefully thought-through spots! We also love the inclusion of so many natural elements and how they're an integral part of this project! Bravo!

---

Huge grats to everyone who won, and a massive thank you to all the flippers who took part in this contest! Your creativity means a lot to us, the House Flipper 2 developers!

I highly encourage everybody who enjoys those community contests and is intrigued by the winning entries to check them out for themselves!
It's unimaginable how many little details and incredible design ideas you can find behind the scenes!
With winner announcement posts like this one, we're only scratching the surface of all this talent. I would love to bring you guys some more detailed explanations to make it clearer why we're picking certain projects with every future community contest. Let me know if it's something you'd be interested in! 🔥

Cheers! ❤️

Hiya Flippers!

I'm here to remind you that you can be winning some epic prizes by showing us your Sandbox Mode mastery! Stuff like House Flipper 2 Microsoft Controllers, Bessie the Beaver Plushies, and Steelbox HF2 edition packs are waiting for the winners of the ongoing "Summer Getaway" Community Contest[mod.io]! ⭐

Keep in mind it lasts only till the end of the month! Make sure to submit your entries before August 31, 2024, 23:59, Polish time (CEST)!

For us personally, this is an amazing experience! Seeing how incredibly creative our community is might be one of the best feelings for the devs! ❤️
Take a look at the winners of the previous Community Contest:

All the details regarding the current contest can be found on the official HF2 Community Contest mod.io page[mod.io].


On top of that, we've just dropped a new video showcasing how we cooperate with voice actors and recording studios in order to make House Flipper 2 more alive using human voice!

Let us know what you think and have a wonderful weekend! 🥰

Oooof, almost forgot!
Remember that we recently started the second phase of the House Flipper 2 CO-OP playtesting: https://gtm.you1.cn/storesteam/news/app/1190970/view/4360132896045043674
Check out the announcement if you're interested in signing up for it! Cheers!

Today we're starting the second phase of House Flipper 2 CO-OP playtesting, as we'd love to see more people trying out the current state of this upcoming feature!

We have recently gone through a very small phase of CO-OP playtesting where we allowed a real tiny portion of our playerbase to access the feature. We verified that it works in an acceptable way, so here goes phase 2! 🥰

The biggest change is that this time, everyone who'd like to have a chance to get access to the CO-OP feature playtest can sign up for it through Steam!




No 3rd party websites - just a straightforward "Request Access" button on the House Flipper 2 Steam Store Page, go check it out:

https://gtm.you1.cn/storesteam/app/1190970/House_Flipper_2/


Remember that signing up for the CO-OP feature doesn't instantly mean that you'll be granted access! Closed alpha or beta tests in the world of gaming are closed for a reason, and especially with online features like CO-OP, making it a process based on expanding phases is crucial for the development path of the feature. For now, it's even more important, as we're specifically focusing on how different server load levels influence the feature and its stability.

😭 We'd love to allow you all to hop in, but that would in fact prolong the development process! 😭

Also, keep in mind that even though this feature is one of our main focuses regarding the future of the game, it is currently nowhere near being finished, so expect bugs, crashes, and other pesky occurrences that might take away from the fun!

Have a wonderful week y'all! 💙

This time we're rolling out the summer goodies, with lots of new items, some interesting mechanics, and quite a few features we've seen you requesting on https://houseflipper2.canny.io/ as well as here on Steam!

Cya in 2 days y'all!
Love ya! 🩵🩵🩵

So you may have noticed that our previous roadmap (which you can look at here!) expired along with the end of last month!

That means that for the recent couple of weeks, we have been planning things out and gathering all the needed information to create the Official House Flipper 2 Roadmap - Part 2!

This new roadmap is actually an HF2-only roadmap - we decided that there's going to be a separate one for House Flipper 1, which still gets new updates and even has a new DLC on the way!


But getting back to the new HF2 roadmap, here it is:

Instead of months, we decided to group all the incoming content into quarters, and as you can see, quite a few things are currently in the making! We still have a couple of aces up our sleeves to reveal this year (oh yes we know you love pools! 🌊)

Let us know if you have any questions about the future of House Flipper 2, and of course, check out our https://houseflipper2.canny.io where you can propose and vote on any features you'd like to see in the game.
Once again, keep in mind that this is just a House Flipper 2 roadmap, as House Flipper 1 is going to get its own in the near future.

Thank you guys for being an awesome community, and have a wonderful week! 💓
