Hello, Can you advise what the $500+ Include your family name as an in-game House Flip citizen goal actually entails, and in terms of how many "citizens" will be in the game. We are looking to determine the visibility of a citizen in the game. Thank you.

We want our players to create a bond with the House Flip citizens whose offers they accept on their fixer uppers. This is AI (artificial intelligence) driven, so there's randomization on which family makes an offer (read: all families can make high and low offers). Our players will see a family name associated with each offer so that the simulation effect is there, and eventually we'll be introducing these "citizens" as animations in the city maps where our players can revisit past house flip...

I find the name of your company rather unusual. What is the background of the name?

"Unusual" is actually a good description of our company name. There's some intentional ambiguity as we want to be associated with "fun" (we are trying to entertain our players after all), plus make our games viral and to spring up like mushrooms. While fungal could've been a candidate, I think it's safe to say that we didn't want folks associating us with athlete's foot. And just to make it even more light, we pronounce it as "fun-jee". Will I admit to some vanity that there's some associatio...

A few questions. Why do you believe there is a high-demand for a House Flip game? It seems like the Sims, but a bit more in depth. Are you hoping this is more educational, fun, both? How did the soft launch go in December? Are you on track for a full launch this month (January...

Solid questions Anthony; I've taken a stab at them below: On demand for House Flip - the appetite for this genre of game has been proven with older titles on mobile ('Design this Home' and 'Home Design Story'), and especially voracious has been the recent success of 'Design Home' by Crowdstar/Glu (currently Top 100 Grossing in Games on iOS, translating to over $50K/day in revenue). But as you appropriately point out with Sims Free Play (also in Top Grossing), our game SEEMS similar but is dec...

Greetings, I commend you and your partners for this project. I am currently interested in investing 200 to thousand on this project. However, I would like to know once I do invest is there a one time investing amount ? Or I would have to invest in the project on a monthly basi...

Thanks for the positive thoughts Darryl; it's been quite the journey! In terms of a one-time investment, it's a single commitment on Wefunder. I'm not aware of any equity crowdfunding platform that does a monthly subscription basis...but I'm pretty new to this too. In terms of getting more information on the project, the latest updates will definitely flow through our Wefunder campaign page. We also have a Facebook page where you can follow us as well: https://www.facebook.com/houseflipthegame/

Alfred - thanks for the detailed responses to my questions. You can count me in!

Welcome on board Anthony! It's been an exciting ride, and 2017 is already looking bright!
