And if spilling secrets isn't enough for you, we'll be giving away some stuff!
New: - (Cyberpunk DLC) There are two new houses available for purchase. Even if you never asked for this.
Changes: - The tablet software was updated to the latest version. - (Garden DLC) Gardening tools will now stay unlocked in all jobs.
Fixes: - Recycled light switches will cease to function no more. - We've summoned a new ghost, which will reignite all the lit candles upon your return to any house. - Changelog images won't be affected by quality settings anymore. - (macOS) We've tweaked tablet previews of some items, so they resemble their in-game appearance more.
See you there, Flipper!
Frozen District Team
We need your help, Flippers!
Hey Flippers!
As we're getting closer and closer to the Pets DLC release, we could really use your help with the upcoming Farm DLC! As you know, we're all about implementing our community's ideas, so it's only fair to ask you questions before the work starts for good. Can't wait to see your perspective on all of that!
We're ready to TALK about House Flipper: Pets and some other top-secret stuff we're working on!
They told me to gather as many people as possible, so come there and say hi, so I (just a humble social media manager) can get a pat on the back from the boss™!
Additionally, we have quite a massive reason to celebrate as we've just surpassed 200 000 wishlist additions for the Pets DLC! Thank you for your incredible support, your valuable feedback, and for keeping us motivated to push forward!
Busy time at Frozen District - New Year, New Giveaway!
Hey Flippers!
The first quarter of 2022 is a busy time at Frozen District, but I can't really tell you why - not yet. That's why I wanted to compensate for the lack of updates with a giveaway.
It's been quite some time since the last giveaway we hosted, and it's a brand-new year, so we amped up the prize a little. You can win the game with all the DLCs currently available - so don't wait any longer and take your chances to win NOW!
Xmas Update is OUT! But it's not the end of the good news...
Hey Flippers!
Our Xmas update came out a few hours ago, and we don't want to brag or anything, but judging by your comments on our social media platforms - IT'S GREAT!
We're glad you guys liked it, as it was our attempt to say "thank you for being here with us in 2021". This year is heading to its end, and there's not much left to do other than wish you the happiest Xmas ever. We feel everyone who thinks that 2021 was rough - even though it was great for House Flipper, it's still a year of the plague.
We keep our fingers crossed in hopes that 2022 will be easy on us all (@Adele).
Also, here's the full changelog for the update:
New:
A new holiday house is ready for festive flipping!
A lot of new festive ornaments and sizing options for Christmas trees.
Plenty of new kitchen cabinets.
Say hello to Barry - the Lizzums' Hamster!

Winter is here - new items for skiing and snowboarding enjoyers. If you're from the southern hemisphere, please disregard this point.
A little furnace just for you!
A new bathroom set including sink, shower, and cabinets.
A bunch of improvements to houses' surroundings - better-looking trees and cliffs (HGTV).
Changes:
New house browser - with flavor filters.
Ever wanted to hang a painting next to stairs? Now you can!

Fixes:
Ever wanted your game to stutter every 30 minutes? Yeah, neither did we, so we've fixed that.
Underworld portals were removed from the pools.

Sssh, our friends over at Frozen Way just came up with something fresh!
Hey VR Flippers!
It's been more than a year since House Flipper VR was released, and we've gathered dozens of reviews from our community regarding the route it took. Many players would argue that the path it followed wasn't an optimal one, so there is something bigger, better, and more remarkable coming to the world of VR! Frozen Way and Petard Games are proud to announce a new, standalone game: House Flipper - Pets VR.
Thanks to House Flipper - Pets VR, you will now have the unique opportunity to flip many different houses. Fortunately, you're not alone because you will have your animal companion at your disposal this time. But that is not the end of surprises - we've also decided to give you the possibility to spend some time with your true friends in VR, so we're also adding a multiplayer mode. This is also why it is a standalone game rather than DLC. Combining that with the ability to pet your favorite animals, we hope that you will enjoy House Flipper - Pets VR as much as we do.
What else can we tell ya... simply check out the trailer: [previewyoutube="O2F2f28iJOw;full"] House Flipper - Pets VR comes with:
Multiple flipping tasks
Online co-op mode
Ability to take care of your pets
Unique FURNIBALLS that make renovations as satisfying as possible
Ability to play with your four-legged friends
And many, many more!

But wait... what about House Flipper VR, then?!
We are still improving HF VR as much as possible, so there is nothing to be worried about. We will do our best to add new features regularly, and soon you shall see that we haven't been lying... oh yes, a Christmas update for House Flipper VR is on its way!
Ok then, but what about the Hairdresser Simulator?!
Some good news as well! For those of you who cannot wait for the Hairdresser Simulator, there is nothing to be worried about whether we abandoned the project or not. Our team has already gained momentum, and we are doing our best to provide you with new screenshots, trailers, or gifs as soon as possible.
Since we've released House Flipper, many players have asked about possible additions to the Flipping family. As you already know, we exert ourselves to prepare House Flipper – Pets DLC fully so you guys can enjoy the game and spend some quality time with your favorite four-legged friends. But this is not the ending point for us! Just after we've revealed the Pets DLC, many of you have wondered whether we will add farm animals to the game or not.
As you already know, we want to collaborate with our community. Thus, we would like to announce that you will have the unique opportunity to flip farms, plant crop plants, and take care of various farm animals in our brand-new House Flipper – Farm DLC!
- Multiple farm properties - Dozens of different farm-themed items - New story orders - Farm animals such as cows, sheep, chickens, and more - Crop plants that you need to take care of - More space with the possibility to build extensions of your house - Horse riding ...And many, many more!
Frozen Way plans to release the Farm DLC by the end of 2022, but the exact launch date and price are yet to be determined. Nevertheless, we highly encourage you to follow the Facebook page and add the DLC to your wishlist on Steam so that you don't miss any future updates.
Last but not least, we want to know what you think about our new House Flipper – Farm DLC? Feel free to share your comments below, and together with the Frozen Way crew, we will do our best to answer as many questions as possible.
All the best, Frozen District & Frozen Way teams
Another question regarding Garden DLC - we're reqeusting your help!
Hey Flippers!
As we teased some time ago, we're going to rework the garden DLC - hopefully, we'll be able to get rid of all the flaws that upset our players.
Here's a thing - we want you guys to help us out with the whole process - some time ago, we've posted a google form to gather your feedback. Now we need you to vote in our poll - which lawnmower do you prefer? The old one, which couldn't pass through any obstacles such as flowers and garbage, or the reworked version that allows you to just ignore all the stuff on your way?
Let us know! Here's the link to our lawnmower poll:
It's this time of the year again - STEAM AWARDS ARE HERE!
Hey Flippers!
It's this time of the year - just between spooky season and Xmas festival: Steam Awards are happening right here, right NOW, and we've been informed that we're eligible for the Labour of Love category.
Creating House Flipper became not only our day-to-day job but also our biggest passion. We've all built the most creative and supportive community out there, and we're proud to say that our mission was and always will be to give you the content you want. Being a game developer is tough sometimes, but interacting with the players makes a HUGE difference - that's right, YOU matter the world to us. We might be biased, so it's hard to say whether we're doing a good or a bad job developing the product, but we care, and even after those three incredible years, we still spend hours brainstorming new ideas to make them just perfect. If that's not LOVE, then what is it?
We're not going to tell you to nominate us because you guys are the ones to decide if we're worthy (and we hope we are!) - all we ask you is to participate in the event. Nominate and then vote for the game that deserves it the most in your opinion - and if that game is House Flipper, then we couldn't be happier.
Also, we've prepared some discounts just for you guys, so if you don't have Garden/HGTV DLC yet, here's a treat:
Pets Development Update #4 - new mechanics and more!
Hello there, Flippers and pet lovers!
It's been a while since our last Development Update. We showed you many excellent features, including screenshots of animals (which is not a surprise, actually), Guinea pig's house, bird poo, and more animations. If somehow you missed our recent update, we highly encourage you to check it out, so you can stay up to date with the changes we have made so far. So what can we show you this time?
This time, we will show you some ways to decorate your ceiling and how you can use light bulbs to brighten your house. Also, we will present you with a short GIF showcasing the process of signing a doghouse. What is more, we have also managed to prepare a short behind-the-scenes video, in which you will see the process of creating sounds for our upcoming Pets DLC. Last but not least, our team of developers took part in PGA 2021, where they have presented Pets DLC in action, so if some of you missed this event, this would be a good chance for you to catch up. Without further ado, let's get started!
First of all, we have put some work into making the process of signing a doghouse as comfortable as possible. However, since we have received a lot of great feedback from our community, we would like to ask what you think about it? Feel free to leave your answers in the comment section below. Also, I'm pretty curious whether you already have a name for your pet or not. If so, feel free to share it with us in the comments below.
Second of all, since Pets DLC will bring up dozens of possibilities to make your house cozier, we couldn’t forget about preparing well-suited light bulbs. They are one of the most crucial parts to make your house as comfy as possible. In the video below, you can see just one of the many ways to use them to enlighten your interior environment.
Another thing that we would like to show you in today’s update is about flipping ceilings. As you can see in the video below, there will be a lot of materials at your disposal (in this particular case, we have used ceramic tiles), so we can’t wait to see your creative projects popping off after the release. I hope that in the end, you will have an even bigger smile on your face than the smile painted by our dev.
So far, we have only shown you screenshots, animations, and videos showcasing some mechanics available in the game. However, since our upcoming DLC will put a significant emphasis on being as cheerful as possible, it’s probably high time to show you a short but pretty cool behind-the-scenes video, in which you will be able to see some creative ways that our sound designer used, to create sounds, that will be available in the game.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzbMw1U-KvU As you already know, in October our team of developers took part in PGA 2021, where some of you had the opportunity to check the game, leave your feedback and simply give us a high five. We are also aware that some of you weren’t able to attend the event for some reason. Thus, we did our best to prepare a video, which allows you to have a glance at the main features that occurred during the PGA 2021.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pysXLrN66pA That would be it for this Development Update. We will see you in another one, which will be coming in about two months from now. Meanwhile, if you don’t want to miss any future updates regarding HF: Pets DLC, please make sure to follow us on our social media channels. To finish this post, we would like to thank you again for your support, and we hope that you have some lovely time flipping.
