House Designer

This game managed to make a proper roofing tool that the Sims was not able to do accomplish in years. 10/10
But if seriously, in general, it is fun and challenging to create rooms according to the specifications given by a client. The small choice making during the construction itself is simple, yet gives it more depth. There is still some aspects I need to get used to, but I am positive abour finishing this game to 100%.
Controls are nice and logical. The furniture customization is present as well, giving more creative freedom. No complaints so far.

A bit overwhelming. The tools are definitely more streamlined and gamified than the real life counterparts but it's still quite a lot to throw at new players. I made it through the tutorials but couldn't get past the structural phase of the first real project (I can't figure out how to fit seven different rooms in a 90 sqm space). I do think there's potential here so I'll give it another go tomorrow.

Decent Game, but needs a few fixes
Fun but few issues though. Can't place stairs in the same area on top of each other to go to different floors, have to place them in different areas on different floors otherwise they do not register. Curved walls are great, but should be able to join two 90 degree walls to make a curved wall instead of curving a singular wall.
Also, can't place windows/doors on curved walls.

Would be amazing if they added a way to export the CAD and 3D to softwares like Rhino/AutoCAD. This could become my go to for quick conceptualization. I know its just a game but it could also become a mini BIM software and make things easier for architects who dont want to spend too much time working on CAD softwares for first stage design.
The other thing that would be helfpul is that if they expanded the library even more. But i am pretty sure they will come up with more DLC.
Another thing that would be helpful is to be able to copy and paste rooms so that we can work on multiple floors faster.

A game with potential
The good
The art style and vibe
Creative mode available from the start
Career replayability as the projects seem to change
Good controls with a controller
Runs well even on rather modest hardware
The roofing system is superior to the Sims'
The colour customisation of the furniture
The ability to adjust the time of the day
The bad
The game was clearly designed for controllers, and the mouse and keyboard controls can feel clunky and need some time getting used to
No measuring tool for accurate placement of furniture and other items
Sometimes you need to be in the right category to select an already placed objects, needlessly slowing you down needlessly
Furniture and other items can't be resized leading to some difficult choices
The walls thickness can't be changed
It's hard to make small adjustments to the walls length, minimum movement around 1m
Changing the shape of the house can be difficult and time consuming, as the corners can't be moved directly and the walls can't be subdivided instantly, tip : make another wall or a room to subdivide a wall, it makes it easier to adjust your house
No narrow stairs
No multi selection, have to move items one by one
The ugly
My houses.
My recommendations for the devs
The game has good potential. Most of the frustration players could feel comes from clunky controls with the keyboard and mouse, sizing the items at will would solve many issues, as well as improving the handling of the items such as adding multi selection, a simple measuring tool would help too. The walls need further flexibility in their thickness and length, and the stairs system would need an overhaul.
Those are all fixable issues, and I hope the devs continue working and improving on the game as they have some very solid foundation, the game could have a long life.

Pros:
Good game for making floorplans, general layouts and somewhat measurements

I've only messed around with the free building mode and one career mode so I haven't delved that deeply into it. I do appreciate how the limitations help one think and figure out what to do with the floorplan.

The background is nice as well.
Icons are useful when marking areas
Ability to walk in the building you have made is very fun

Cons:
General menu jank, tho I feel like it can be easily fixed to quickly shortcut things. It just slows things down when you want to undo something since you cannot CTRL-Z without unselecting an object, doing it, then reselecting what you were building it.

My main gripe is deleting walls which leave the room divided as another room, which is useful when you want an area to be separate but without walls like a kitchen but otherwise, its kind of hard dividing rooms when you're messing around with the bedroom floor plans. You have to merge rooms manually every time after you're done finding a room size or to avoid wall jank and room icons filling up the screen.

I also wish there was a way to toggle off the room icons because I sometimes want to see the build zoomed out. Maybe there is but it blocks the view.

Sometimes when connecting walls, it just doesn't want to stay at 90 degrees and attaches to a wall at an angle even when there is nothing blocking its way or the limit of 1 Meter (walls are limited to be 1 meter before intersecting with another wall) so I delete the walls and redo them and it connects fine.

Things to add:
-Ability to modify the height of walls. You're not able to do this which is fine but when recreating something with specific sizes, it's just not possible.
-Making the grid available at all times (and measurements) and not making it limited to just using it for 1 Meter measurements but also for smaller measurements like .5 or .4.
-Ability to flip furniture: Maybe I haven't seen it or anything but there is no way to flip furniture or stairs, only rotating. So stairs that only have turns, only turn that way.
-Ability to modify window shape
-Compact furniture such as foldable beds, desks and stairs. I want to explore compact spaces and maybe this isn't the game made for that but it is a good genre to delve into. Display shelves in walls and such.
-More roof customization
-Ability to change the time of day when building to see sun position and test the lights.
-Add Plumbing: I want to see how I can control the plumbing or maybe this game only focuses on floorplans but I since heating is a part of the game, I thought it would be a good thing to add as well. Maybe a mode where one can tediously add these things haha.

This is only from the top of my head but sure the dev team has already been working on improvements. I will continue following this game as I see it to be very promising

Enjoying it so far. Needs much more items / options though. Hope the devs address this and release more content (hopefully not just as paid expansions).
