We're kicking off August with a big update: we've added Steam Workshop functionality so you can share your creations with the world and get the most awesome furniture the world has to offer.
New Features
Steam Workshop
Create and share custom furniture creations, and subscribe to others on the Workshop to bring them into your home.
Access subscribed items via Catalog, and create items via the radial menu (while holding furniture).
Catlateral Damage
Cats have invaded Home Improvisation! Use new cat hammer to wreak havok
A cat always lands on its feet...
Additional Furniture
Added Burdell rocking chair to Living Room
Improvements
Pieces can be rotated before being connected for additional precision. Hold the connection button to line up the piece, rotate the piece to the desired angle, and release to connect.
A new message board in the main room provides easy access to patch notes. Check the board for updates over time
Bug Fixes
Fixed occassional mallet errors
Reduced outline size to improve rendering on complex objects
Restored click sound on multi-connections
June Update
We're closing out June with a big update, bringing new features, improvements, and bug fixes to enhance your furniture building experience.
New Features
Garbage Can
Have spare parts lying around and want them to go away? Just open the Garbage Can and drop them in.
Featuring fully-closable lid to prevent accidental destruction.
If you do accidentally trash something, you can undo your last removal. Once you throw out something else, though, the original item is gone forever!
Multi-connections
Before you could only connect one hole to one peg: now, you can attach as many connectors as are spatially possible!
Allows perfectionists to build furniture like the Fhqwhgads and the Arbetsskada without missing a single connection
Shatter Challenge
A new function mode level!
Use the hammer to shatter as many items as possible
Play with friends to get a better score
Improvements
The Height Challlenge has been significantly reworked, now keeping track of your best height instead of your best time.
The Arbetsskada has been modified so that it fits together correctly now (especially with the new multi-connections).
Almost all furniture is paintable now, allowing greater customization of your homes.
The hammer can now target shatterable objects (Ting, Aard)
Bug Fixes
Optimized furniture piece movement to prevent FPS drops when moving large objects.
Fixed a few unhandled edge cases with Wall-Mounting, should be behave consistently across rooms.
Swivel joints no longer drag the attached object down when held.
Fixed Height Challenge error where pieces were not being removed when a new level started.
If you have any suggestions or bugs, please let us know and we'd be happy to address them!
Patch Notes: June 1st
We have a small update today with some bug fixes.
The Gluten (round table) no longer follows you when you change rooms
The UIs for the Paint Brush, Light Switch, and Toolbox no longer disappear after the game loses focus (minimized, alt+tabbed)
Textures on furniture display properly when an object is selected
Audio volume sliders now properly save and display their values
Thanks for catching these, please let us know if you find any more!
