Hey everyone!
We're happy to announce that we've finally gotten the two latest heists out, along with the housing system we've talked about a lot. This means that the main story is getting closer to being completed, with around six confirmed heists left to make. The housing system is also a pretty big deal, since it was something we talked about a lot but never really got around to making it happen... but now it's here!
The two new heists are Goldflipper Hideout and Cherry Blossom Island, which continue on the big hunt for the Iron Flipper organization and related mysteries. This also means more blueprints, which means more cool items!
The housing system - found under Properties in the Post Office - consists of some premade maps where you get the shell of a house where you can place your own furniture. Some of the furniture is just decoration, but there are a lot of interactive items too. Right now there are just 3 properties for sale, but very soon we'll add another 7 so that there will be 10 properties in total. Each and every one will be unique with its own special features, like jetskis and fishing, or ghosts invading, or something completely different.
I think this also sums up the future plans, which is to finish the 6 upcoming heists and add 7 more properties. This means that we'll end up with around 20 heists and 10 properties, along with a bunch of social game modes like Pizza Panic, Penguin Village, etc. that will also get some additions.
So, what's new then?
