Housing release two will not happen till next week

Because I take a break from playing the mean boss once in a while and because we have an insane month or so of releases ahead of us and because this is a rare long weekend and people are going to need to take a few days off, the "R2" feature release will not be happening till next week.

However, it is pretty fucking awesome (and very nearly done). I'll ask everyone else if we can post a teaser image or two of some of the new design combos …

  • You know, this is basically a thread about a delay to something.

    And no one bitched. There's not one bitchy, catty, angry reply.

    I lobe you, Glitch community.

  • Thanks for the heads up - definitely appreciate it!! Would have preferred R2 sooner (had an uber bad week and needed a nice distraction), but understand, and would rather have it right than now...so have a blessed Easter weekend (even if you are working Bees!...lol), and look forward to what you will be bringing us, hopefully next week...

  • By popular demand, here are two snaps of houses/home streets in the new system:

    Spooky House on "Magic Groddle" Street
    Whimsy House on Uralia-ish Street

    Fact: you can totally customize the houses (change the roof, colors/materials, add extensions, decorations ... and other stuff).

  • WHOOOOAA!..... COOOOOOL..... *wipes drool off desk top*

  • Very nice!  Considering the two backgrounds are different, looks likely you can alter them as well...though maybe they default to the house you choose...will be interesting to find out!  Hopeful for a beach option!

  • The streets themselves will not be customizable down to the level of trees/mountains/clouds any time soon (but, it is where we are headed in the long run). However, there will be many choices.

    The house "chassis" & customizations, the home street style, the yard style and the house interior are all independent (so they don't need to match at all).

  • I can't believe my dream came true! A street just alike Uralia! This is THE dream! And I wish I could see more sneak peaks! You guys are amazing, I'm in loveeeee! I'm so anxious to this release, I'm counting the days!

  • This is beyond awesome, as I said, and it really is :) But could we perhaps pester you for a few more shots? Perhaps one of the interiors we can expect, or the yard? Do you have any shots of Mazza'la style interiors? Or caves?

    Forgive me for my enthusiasm :) You said you wanted to create something beautiful and you've far outstripped such a simple goal to create something that is, on the most basic level, out of this world :) And I can't help but want to see more :D
    Posted 8 months ago by Liza Throttlebottom Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yes, I'm with Liza on this! Please, show us more shots, please <3 I would love to see shots about the interiors as well and perhaps how big +- crops can look like and I wonder if we'll be able to have an underground space where we can have a dark patch for eggplants? [I wish you could add some new dark-patched trees, by the way, it would be amazing!]
