👋 How's it going Flippers?
Today, exactly a month after the official House Flipper 2 release, I greet you with a little wall of text, as I'm pretty sure a lot of you are waiting for information regarding the current status of House Flipper 2, and what exactly the team at Frozen District is focused on after the release. The winter holiday season is finished, we're all back in the office, and we know that the future weeks will be full of work and dedication.
Let's do a little dev diary to discuss the current situation, as well as where we're headed regarding our development efforts:
🚧 The current situation
House Flipper 2 is up and running, and we feel like the official release was a huge success - a success that wouldn't be possible without your help and support! Looking at the feedback from the community we can see that a lot of you love the game and are super satisfied with the purchase.
BUT!...
That's sadly not true for all the House Flipper 2 players, and we know that there's still a lot of work ahead of us. Luckily, the Flipper community once again showed us its value, and we received a lot of constructive criticism regarding many different aspects of the game. The biggest quest for us at the moment is gathering, analyzing, and evaluating all this feedback. That's something we've been doing for the last couple of weeks, and we already have an idea of what the priority list looks like for us.
Currently, we're definitely focusing our attention on bugs, especially the ones that are blocking some players from playing House Flipper 2. What I mean by that is mainly all the saving-related issues that either wipe your progress or block the saving mechanism thus preventing you from progressing in the game.
We also have some other cheeky ones, like the infinite scrolling bug that you guys let us know about through our Steam Discussions. Thank you all for reporting those, and any other issues. Our testers and programmers are already on it!
A lot of you also pointed out that House Flipper 2 is missing some crucial content pieces, for example, curtains and window blinds, or the beloved Before/After mechanic. We're fully aware of that, and thanks to our new House Flipper 2 Roadmap and Feature Board, we can see what your votes are and what features are the most important to you and your gameplay experience. Thank you for taking part in the voting!
🔮 The future
Our first hotfix update is already planned to come next week if everything goes smoothly. This one will cover a portion of the most serious issues (those that we could fix fairly quickly), but keep in mind that some of them require a little bit extra time on our side.
That's why we're also already working on another hotfix update that will come after that. We will make sure to keep you updated about the situation on our Steam Discussions.
Moreover, while our programmers are tracing all the bugs and working on the fixes, a part of the development team is also busy with the upcoming Spring Content Update (which we'll be discussing sometime in the following weeks!), and our artists are already creating new item sets!
Take a look at this little sneak peek:
Those might be arriving with the Spring Content Update or maybe a bit before, not sure yet, but I promise to keep you updated on that!
Last but not least, our community team will still be doing their best to listen to your reports and ideas in the following weeks.
Your input is greatly appreciated and without your help, we wouldn't be where we currently are!
Have a lovely rest of the weekend! ❤️❤️
~ Reczberg, together with all the House Flipper 2 devs!
