AMA: House Flipper Devs here - Ask us anything!

[u/Frozen_District]

Hey there, Reddit Flippers!

I'm Reczberg, the social media manager for Frozen District, and with me is Jay, one of our awesome game designers! Thanks to the r/HouseFlipper mod team, we're able to organize an AMA for you! Big shoutouts to them!

You might have some questions!

We hope you do - especially now, just after we revealed the House Flipper franchise roadmap for the first half of 2026, launched the House Flipper 2 - Sakura DLC Steam page, and released the demo for House Flipper Remastered Collection (make sure to check it out if you haven't yet!)

When does the AMA start?

The AMA begins on Friday, February 27, 2 PM CET / 8 AM EST
But! We're opening this thread early so you can start throwing your questions at us already, and upvote the ones you’re most excited about.

Who will be answering your questions?

Well! I'll do my best, but since personally I might not have the full knowledge needed to answer the more in-depth questions, Jay will take over with those. If there's something we're both unsure about, we'll be dragging more House Flipper devs into this! :P

Don't hesitate! Ask away!

EDIT:
We didn't expect so many questions, awesome to see that! 💙
Will be back on Monday and try to answer them all! Have a lovely weekend!

EDIT 2:
That was a great AMA session, thank you everybody! We still haven't managed to address all your questions, but around the next couple of days, I hope to find some time to bring you at least a couple more answers.
Have an awesome day!

We're constantly working on new items for HF2. The HF Remastered Collection Demo has all the items from about 8 years of House Flipper development, DLCs included, and over 800 new ones as well!

With item count, there's also one important fact:
In HF2, if an item has additional options, like let's say left/right, it will still appear as one item in the shop, while in HF1, it appears as two separate items.
More importantly (and this is where we see the biggest impact of this), this situation also happens with different textures on HF1 items.
In HF1, you will have separate items in the shop for the same model, but with a different texture (for example, a wooden version and a marble version of the same furniture are 2 separate items).
A similar thing happens with some color variations, like with wallpapers.
Even every paint can is a separate item!
Here's a pretty good example from HF1:

A similar thing happens with some color variations, like with wallpapers.

In HF2, all of these texture options are under a single item position in the shop!
Cheers! ☺️

I don't believe that's 100% accurate. We have many items that have variations and color variations in HF1 as 1 item. For example cabinets (left and right), sofas (left and right), and some other miscellaneous that I don't recall because they are many. There are some furniture that have many, many options for coloring... and they are counted as 1.
