  After some decent playtime during the game's playtest phase, it's clear that this title holds significant potential. The core mechanics and gameplay are engaging; however, the game suffers from severe performance issues on higher-end hardware, which greatly diminish its enjoyability. Hardware Specifications: Graphics Card: NVIDIA RTX 4070Ti Processor: Intel Core i7-13700F RAM: 32GB Storage: Installed on NVME SSD Despite running the game on a higher end system that exceeds the recommended specifications, I encountered jarring frame rate drops and struggled to maintain a stable 40 fps even on lower settings. These performance issues make the game difficult to enjoy and inhibit its gameplay experience. Recommendation: As it currently stands, I cannot recommend purchasing this game due to the aforementioned performance issues. However, you might consider picking it up while its on its launch sale if you are willing to tolerate less-than-optimal performance while awaiting updates, it might be worth considering. I believe the game has the potential to offer a compelling experience, but I will personally be shelving it until the developers address its performance shortcomings.

  The first thing I tried to do was build a new kitchen but the cabinets don't line up. You can't make an unbroken line of cabinets, either they overlap and clip or they're individual units. Also, when you try to place them using the grid snapping tool, they don't align to the grid properly and don't snap to each other. I've requested a refund, I'll have another look in a few months and see if they've sorted out these basics.

  I bought this game so I could design homes from scratch without limitations, which I remember was mentioned in the description. I'm not finding any way to do so without having to take on jobs, I was not looking to have to grind it at all, I wanted to use it as a creativity tool. Would it be possible to have a sandbox mode?

  Hometopia was a godsend for people who grew up with games like the Sims, and then moved on to games like House flipper. Hometopia is designed as a game that lets you design your own houses using over a thousand items to be placed as well as several different floor and wall designs. Along with designing your own house there is a career mode that allows you to earn money so you can add on to your newly constructed or designed house! Pros 1. TONS and I mean TONS of ways to design and construct your house, from roof design, to bathroom design, to an outdoor bar and playhouse. 2. Amazing developers that are active and looking for new ways to design the game to best suit the needs of their players. 3. Well-designed career mode with no bugs that I can detect currently ( I know others have had some, but none on my end) 4. The ability to manipulate items in any way you want really. 5. The ability to place an item down and to FULLY customize that item with fabric color and textures, wood textures etc!! Cons 1. Sound is a bit off, some people may not like the music, and then if you turn the music off it becomes a quiet wasteland. Overall despite the game being an early access, it is already working it's way up to one of the best games I have played in a long time. If you were a fan of the sims or house flipper, you will find enjoyment in this game! Edit: I know people were saying it has performance issues... I play on a computer with pretty awful integrated graphics and I have yet to experience any major issues regarding performance other than a crash or two. I have pretty good >40 FPS on medium settings. They have also come out and talked about future updates 1. Communities - designing your own shops etc 2. Sandbox mode (Yes it's coming so people listing it as a negative should have noted that it is coming soon)

  Well right now it's really only playable on the lowest graphics setting. I tried it higher and it was extremely sluggish. Also there is no audio apart from music which I don't want. Still I love these kinds of games. So here's to lots of improvements along the way.

  I've only managed to get 40 minutes or so in the game but so far it's great! The UI is simple to navigate and the game gives me House Flipper/Sims vibes in terms of the building and decorating. I also have all of my settings on medium and the game looks great still and runs smoothly. I haven't attempted to turn it up higher. My only critiques would be that some actions either don't work properly or aren't clear on how to execute them: ie. - I don't know how to add railings to stairs. I found them, but they don't snap to the stairs as railings which is odd. - Some of the snapping doesn't work very well, mainly with kitchen sets (so far). I had a hard time trying to align counters in my starter home until I just deleted them lol. - I tried to customize a vintage dresser to change the wood but it was trying to make me paint the wall behind it? Not sure if that's a bug lol. - I'm not entirely sure how to get a full 5 star rating. I do everything the client asks and stick to their likes, and even get positive tags before I click the complete order button, but they'll still say something like "not a fan of the bedroom, 2 stars." like, sir, I did everything you asked?? I was also under the impression there was going to be a sandbox mode but there doesn't seem to be. I hope it's just something not available in early access but is available later on. I don't mind the story mode and it's helping me learn the game so this isn't a negative for me, personally, but I'd imagine some people would be upset about this so I thought I would mention it. Otherwise, great game so far! I look forward to playing more of it soon.

  I do enjoy this game, don't get me wrong. It is exactly as i expected and is really fun... until you start taking jobs, giving the customers everything they want and even getting bonus money for said achievements... but they rank you a one star and eventually you drop to the lowest rank possible and start getting less money for jobs because of that rating. How do i get my rating to go up if i'm already doing the best i can to make the customers happy? So for this reason alone is why i thumbs downed the game. I do love it, i do... but the ranking system is making me annoyed with the game and making me not want to play..

  I selected "no, I do not recommend" because, as numerous others have pointed out, there are optimization issues galore in this game. I have better than the recommended specs for this game, way better than the minimum requirements, and I cannot run it at any higher than medium without it stuttering and suffering severe frame rate drops. HOWEVER, on medium, it does work just fine - so, if you're fine with that in the mean time, go ahead and get it.. The game has so much potential. It's good for what it is now. It's pretty, there's plenty of creative routes you can take, and it's definitely a competitor of House Flipper. I didn't play it for too long because I just bought it to see if the reviews were accurate, to mess around with the graphics settings and see how it would do on my computer, and just get an overall feel for what it has to offer. It's comparable to Hotel Renovator with how it operates but laid out so much better. It's easy to understand and very user friendly.

  House Flipper with co-op rough around the edges but has a lot of potential
