Hi Flippers!
It’s time to shine! As you might have already noticed, we've just added Steam Community Items to the House Flipper Remastered Collection! On top of these shiny new goodies, this update also brings some important patch notes filled with crucial fixes and game improvements.
You can now earn badges, emoticons, profile backgrounds, and trading cards. And don't worry if you've already spent some time in the game - your past playtime counts toward card drops, so you might even receive a few right away!
Badges
Badges play a crucial role for our most active and dedicated players, showcasing the time and effort spent in the game. After a few brainstorming sessions, we crafted this set of badges featuring a clear progression path and some delightfully quirky names.
Trading Cards
We know that for many of you, trading cards are a huge part of the Steam community experience. We’ve prepared 9 brand-new cards that highlight our most iconic DLCs and locations. Happy collecting!
Emoticons
We've also put together 6 emoticons you can send to your friends when discussing house flipping (and other important stuff). The main theme revolves around a hammer and paint brush, capturing useful emotions and expressions for your day-to-day chats. We hope you love them!
Profile Backgrounds
June is the perfect month to flip your profile and get it ready for the summer! For those of you with a distinctive eye for design, we have great news: 5 elegant profile backgrounds are now up for grabs. They follow the main themes of our various DLCs, so everyone should find something that suits their style.
📐Placement Grid Snapping
An update releasing with this devlog is a certain highly requested feature - grid snapping!
During jobs in which you have to place items in specific spots, you will now be able to turn on the grid and have the item snap into place instead of needing to slowly move it into place. It should definitely improve your overall flipping experience!
📝Hotfixes
Alongside the new grid snapping system, we've also pushed an update addressing several community-reported bugs and visual issues:
Before/After Photo Summary
Fixed a bug causing terrain or items to go missing or not render on "before" screenshots.
Corrected night lighting rendering for "before" shots.
Applied general quality and visual improvements for "after" photos.
Gameplay & Fixes
Universal Cooker: Fixed a bug where spawned items would completely disappear after reloading a save.
"Iron Retirement" Job: Resolved an issue where a specific bush blocked grass unrolling and cutting mechanics; this object can now be properly targeted and sold.
Visuals & Environment
Room 404 Apartment: Improved overall scene lighting by adjusting the light range and intensity.
Fire Effects: Upgraded and enhanced the visual intensity and rendering of fire.
Halloween House: Adjusted and changed lamp colors for a better, more appropriate atmosphere.
Moon House: Verified that the lighting configuration changes now work properly.
Items & Furniture
Visual Fixes: Resolved visual and rendering issues with the Imi chair and sofa, Ceramic tiles (Lime), and the Gustum kitchen set.
UI & Laptop
Laptop: Fixed an issue causing text to overlap on the house description screen.
As you may have noticed, we've been pushing out a lot of major changes and rapid-fire updates over the past few days. Moving forward, we're going to slow down the pace of these smaller hotfixes. Instead, we'll be focusing our efforts on less frequent but larger updates packed with bug fixes, tweaks, and overall game improvements.
