Prepare yourselves for a more polished version of House Party, because Beta 0.18.1 is playable for Patrons now!

Our team has responded to your feedback on the recent alpha and worked through several bugs to get this new build looking good. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on the beta so we can fine-tune it even more for release!

If you missed the latest alpha, the content to check out is the hot new Brittney outfit update, the radial menu for player interactions, updates to intimacy rewards for Amy and Rachael, a modified loading screen, and an improved save and load system.

Additionally, the beta build brings with it more intimacy scene improvements, tons of existing bug fixes, and makes Leah’s “evil route” intimacy reward repeatable. If you love getting steamy with Leah, you’ll enjoy this build.

And if you see Katherine around the party, you’ll notice she’s dressed in a kickass new outfit. If you haven’t checked it out, scroll through our previous Patreon posts and take a look at her awesome new clothing. Let us know how you think she looks in-game when you check out the beta!

Enjoy partying!

(Beta 10/20/2020)

Changelog

Alpha (0.18.0) is available now to Patrons and is packed with some major updates. There is awesome new stuff here for you to experiment with and we can’t wait to hear your feedback on all the changes!

Our first big upcoming development is the new Brittney outfit rework. In this Alpha, all of her updated outfits will be live throughout House Party. And if you haven’t taken a look at her sexy new wardrobe, scroll through our prior Patreon posts and go take a look at that beautiful woman.

Another feature you’ll notice is our new radial menu for player choices. When you click on a character in the game, you’ll have a variety of interactions that can be selected through the radial menu. This may feel like a pretty big visual change during gameplay, so don’t hesitate to send us your feedback on how the updated menu feels to you!

We also have sweet new reworks and updates to intimacy rewards on the way for Amy and Rachael (and possibly more) coming to the Alpha. If you dig either of those two cuties, you’ll have some new stuff to check out in this build.

Lastly, we are updating the House Party loading screen and improving our save and load system. These changes should improve the visual feel of House Party and quality of life for all players. 

Note: As of this Alpha update, we are no longer creating new Linux and Mac builds. After discussing internally, we determined that with the size and complexity of House Party now, and the issues we have with Unity, the time spent trying to make a stable build for both of those platforms for every Alpha and Beta would be better spent pushing forward with the game to come out of Early Access. Once we hit that point, we should have more time to dig in and work on getting a version 1.0 build out for both platforms. Thank you for your understanding!

Enjoy the Alpha and have fun checking out the new changes!

0.18.0
(Alpha 10/6/2020)

Changelog

It’s time, buddy. The new Derek update is here! House Party Version 0.17.3 is now live and in it is a ton of new content to explore and enjoy. This update is packed with some sweet new game mechanics and plenty of polish to keep your game experience clean and enjoyable.

This new release is all about spreading some love to our buddy Derek. We’ve expanded his storyline with awesome new content and added two brand new Opportunities and Achievements, one of which results in a full, repeatable, and very steamy intimacy reward.

We’ve added more opportunities for getting your hands on booze around the party. Frank and Leah have had a major rework of their alcohol behaviors and we made it so all the booze in the liquor cabinet can now be interacted with.

Also in this update, Derek, Patrick, and Vickie all have had wardrobe revamps, so if you see them around the party they may look a little snazzier. Enjoy seeing the three of them with some extra style!

Awesome new quality of life changes come with this update, too. If you’re tired of getting halfway through the game, forgetting to save, and then getting pummeled by Frank and losing all your progress, then you’re going to love this update because we introduced an autosave feature. Enjoy the peace of mind of not losing your progress anymore if you piss somebody off or decide to take some of that sweet, sweet alcohol from Frank’s guarded stash.

And let’s not forget our favorite new features in this update: Urination and the bladder meter. Yes, you heard that right. Pissing is now a real thing. Wield your new pissing powers and cause all kinds of mayhem, and literally get into a pissing contest with your favorite NPC!

In addition to all the exciting new features, our team has included loads of under the hood performance updates with this new version. One of the first updates you’ll notice is that there is a brand new “Memories” tab in the in-game Opportunity Window to help you navigate House Party’s complex storyline. There is also a shiny new improved main menu with language selection UI, translated menu UIs, and a very exciting new “Character Select” UI for future use. This update is packed with loads of bug fixes for existing content and older features/mechanics, and numerous tweaks to reduce linearity across existing content paths. And there are new features and improvements in the CSC for Custom Story Creators. But these are just a few of the many improvements, so if you’d like to read the full list of all of the new tweaks, be sure to check out the changelog below. Grab a bottle of booze, too, because it’s a pretty hefty read.

NOTE: With all new updates, there are some release caveats. Firstly, due to a large number of story scripting and engine changes, old saves will not work with update 0.17.3. The saves will not be deleted and Steam users can roll back to an older version to use these saves via the “Betas” tab in the game’s properties. Additionally, not all of the menus have been translated, and not all of the minor hard-coded system text has been translated either. We will address these known issues in future updates.

Why are you still reading this? Boot up House Party and check out the new update! The new content is a ton of fun and we can’t wait to hear your feedback. Enjoy and keep staying safe from the virus. We love all you guys and hope you have a blast playing the new content!

Thanks,
– Eek! Team

However, she will not approach as readily if the Player is already genitalia-deep in other “high intensity” content. This is to avoid interrupting the Player at certain crucial junctures…and also because she has a modicum of basic AI decency

• In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could cause Leah to forget to gently hold Julius Squeezer after she did hand stuffs

To avoid this, Read the Diary when Madison is NOT in vision of the player at all, or when Madison is facing away from you, or when she is at least six puppies away from you. If you’re not in the US, convert puppies to kitties at a ratio of 1.69 k/p
• In the Original Story: there is now a social meter impact to being a complete jerk to Madison during her “Smooth Operator” finale

• In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could cause Dan to approach the Player erroneously for the “Garage D&D” scenario, even if that scenario had been “canceled” or completed

• Minor cleanup of situational info delivery in the CharInfo console command

• Sync’d the name of the hardcoded value that the Madison’s Phone item uses to the value used by the Original Story

• NPCs will now perform random Roaming ChangeLocations somewhat more or less frequently based upon their mood, proximity to other Characters, and their Sociable Personality trait

• Added functionality for new non-story-specific translation templates to be used with various game UI elements.
• Shifted translation template loading for the active story to happen earlier in the game load process; this fixed some cases where opportunities and other things could load in with the language they were saved in and not the currently selected language.
• Modified autosave criteria to delay autosaves under the following conditions: player is in combat, player is knocked out or dead, game over screen is showing, player is engaged in any sexual act, player is falling, player is warping, player is sitting, player is ejaculating, pause menu is showing, player is grabbing something, player is groping something, player is groping something, player’s genitals are exposed, player is peeing.
• Updated the load save menu so that it shows the time stamp of the last auto save in the game’s memory, even if it hasn’t been written to the hard drive yet.

• Added logging in the debug to explain why/when auto saves are delayed.

• Updated primrary and secondary actorbehavior during the blowjob sexualact to make facial expressions that correspond more realistically with what is happening. The actor performing the blow job should use the open mouth blend shape during the action, and both actors should look reasonably interested in what’s going on with some randomly changing expressions of interest.
• Fixed various cases that could prevent a character from reaching their current action item or making the proper poses in the proper places on arrival.
• Updated restart game/load saved game to reset the interactive states for all characters to their appropriate values/fixed issue where interactive states from the previous play session were preserved.
• Updated engine to execute queued events that have no delay before saving.
• Fixed issue where characters navigating to action items would have their pose changed by the action item/overriden from what it should be in the story. If the character is sent a pose to perform once they reach the action item, that item will no longer override that pose with one of the defaults.
• Fixed issue where characters that were warped to a target that was either a current move target, mandatory target, or inaccessible mandatory target would not fire the reach target event even though they did in fact reach the target.
• Fixed issue where the actors performing the blow job in the blow job sexual act don’t release the blow job giver action pose until after the other actor finishes ejaculating. This was causing the player’s camera to clip into other character’s abdomens when the player was performing a bj.
• Fixed issue where opportunity names in the on screen popup were not being translated.
• Fixed issue where a single problem in a translation file could prevent the rest of the entire translation file from being loaded.
• Added better logging for issues loading translation files so that people can troubleshoot them faster.
• Updated scroll views throughout the game so that they will always load with the scroll bar scrolled up to the top.
• Updated intimacy events to use sex data offsets for primary sexual actor, not just secondary. Also extended the use of sex data offsets to include the climax. This enables us to control genitalia more during sex to prevent any clipping.
• Created a master list of all characters in a story that can have data pulled from for the characters even if they aren’t currently enabled.
• Fixed issue where opportunities in the opportunities window weren’t being displayed for characters that were not currently enabled.
• Fixed issue where warping a character would cause their hair, breasts, and butt to move too dramatically.
• Added settings for the sex position data to enable/disable use of sex targets in certain poses for male/females.
• Updated logic for restarting a game to ensure all normal and delayed events are totally cleared before loading the new one.
• Updated game to show the radial menu for a character when left clicking open space, if you are currently engaged in a sexual act with that character. Should allow player to talk to their sex partner and perform other available actions with them even if they are looking away/the other character is behind the player.
• Updated autosaves to break references to the live game data without serializing to avoid a significant frame rate drop. Fixed issue where events performed after autosave had an impact on the autosave that got serialized.
• Updated loading of audio asset bundles to remove spaces from the character name when looking for the voice lines from a character in the story.

• In the Original Story: it should be somewhat easier to include Vickie in Amy’s “Scavenger Hunt” finale selfie
• In the Original Story: revamped a few Hot Tub-related behaviors to allow more dynamic placement for some content that uses the Hot Tub seats

• In the Original Story: the Player is also able to eat one more…sugary treat in the house, that will give a health boost and minor combat stat increase
• In the Original Story: when giving Leah alcohol, if she actually implies she is taking the alcohol or says “Hey, give me that!…”, she will actually take the alcohol item the Player tried to give her
• In the Original Story: refactored Patrick’s behavior when given beer to support the new number of total beers in the house
• Fixed an issue that could cause the Player’s “Grab” (default RMB) functionality to break entirely if they grabbed the bike lock in Ashley’s room after it falls, or the Talking Fish (Sancho)
• Fixed a critical, game breaking issue that would cause the Vibrator (Vibratron 3000, a.k.a. Waker of Doods, a.k.a. Herald of the Clitpocalypse) to stop vibrating if another item was picked up while it was Clitpocalypsizing
• Fixed an issue that would cause grabbing an item from your inventory while already holding another item to do nothing
• The Player grabbing an item can now tie into an event trigger/reaction
• Improvements and tweaks to the Player Grab/Hold system that should make it much more difficult to experience moments where an item gradually moves to an extreme direction and is held there until the Player drops it or the item is forced to drop by colliding with an object

• Major under-the-hood performance changes
• Characters are now loaded on an as-needed basis from the scripting engine (CSC)
• In the Original Story: Patrick will no longer chase down the Player with the relentless ferocity of a crippled terrier to inform the Player that he is sober, if the Player is currently fighting for their life/in combat, or if Pat is occupied with certain other content

• In the Original Story: fixed an issue with the availability of a “send Amy to Derek” response for Amy that was not showing up based on certain actions taken during her “Scavenger Hunt” Opportunity
• In the Original Story: added extra “combat resumption” logic to a few outstanding situations that would allow the Player to escape combat from certain Characters after a temporary KO

• In the Original Story: the Player will no longer be able to ask Leah about Patrick’s phone if they already were told exactly who has Patrick’s phone. Duh
• In the Original Story: fixed a minor issue with the visibility of the Calendar action on Madison’s Phone
• In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could lead to Brittney having different Exhibitionism traits based on what should be equivalent Player response choices/paths during the finale of Amy’s “Scavenger Hunt”
• In the Original Story: if Patrick is about to come under attack by Madison or Frank, he will now be considered “Occupied” for the sake of certain content sequences and criteria checks
• In the Original Story: minor adjustments to possible failure of Amy’s “Scavenger Hunt” Opportunity based on Vickie’s availability

• In the Original Story: very slightly increased the negative social penalties associated with throwing beer on Madison’s top
• In the Original Story: very slightly increased the negative social penalties associated with asking Madison for oral before she’s actually into you
• The core game is now censored by default on Steam, and will need the Explicit Content DLC in order to enable the uncensored textures.
• Tweaks to animation State handling that will allow characters to automatically use “idle with drink” and “sip a drink”-type animations while sitting down or in the Hot Tub. In order for these to process, the Character must NOT have UnableToFidget state added, and must have an active/enabled item in their hand

• Minor improvements to NPC-to-NPC “basic conversations” in stories where NPCs have no configured Background Chatter
• Background Chatters without audio (so…basically all BGC in most custom stories) will now properly fire their BGC OnStart Game Events
• Fixed an issue that could allow a fast Player (or if a Remove from Inventory/”Discard” event was delayed) to have an Item’s Radial menu left open after the Item was removed from their inventory, which often could lead to a Radial menu being visible that no longer worked or caused bugs due to various scripted criteria or simply because the item was no longer Active
• The next BGC in a “chain” (BGC response) will be saved as a Character value, allowing that BGC to play when loading a saved game in which the BGC was pending. This will prevent a number of story breaks for Characters like the Game Grumps who made extensive use of BGC and BGC OnStart Events
• The Motor Oil is now aligned properly when mounted to a Character’s hands, and will also be aligned properly when carried by the Player
• Fixed an issue with the Quest console command that could cause it to show inaccurate information when using the List subcommand
• Fixed an issue that would prevent the Star Bombs from triggering Gets Hit With Projectile reactions/Event Triggers

• The MatchValue console command will now only accept Keys (value names) that are already defined in the story data for both specified Characters, or that were populated into the Character’s value list by the engine. However, the input for these values is also no longer case sensitive
• Standardized door colliders for several narrow doors in the house; at least one of these could lead to a false positive vision check (NPCs seeing you when they should not be able to)
• Added a ‘test’ functionality to the Emote console command
• Fixed a typo and made minor tweaks to hardcoded inspect texts found in Madison’s Phone
• Fixed an issue that could prevent Leah from making use of Character Functions in some situations in the engine or CSC
• On Dialogue Start Game Events that are of type Dialogue : Trigger, and that only make use of CoinFlip criteria will no longer “double fire” as both a dialogue override and a standard dialogue start event
• CSC: users now have access to an Item criteria that will allow them to easily check if an item is Held (via ‘grab’/right-mouse click) OR in the Player’s inventory, which should further simplify a lot of “does the Player have <X> item” logic. Items from Item Groups also have access to this
• CSC: added a “PlaythroughTimer” built-in Player Value that CSC users can use; this will begin “ticking” right after the first frame when the main game scene loads, so it will already have progressed a bit by the time the game has fully “faded in”. This increments on our Character Manager tick, so approximately every 0.3 seconds unless the game is paused
• CSC: added the ResetReactionCooldown event, which will immediately reset a Character’s internal reaction cooldown for another Character for a given Event Type (e.g. Exposes Genitals, etc.). This reaction cooldown will be immediately reset regardless of the two Characters being in vicinity, in vision of each other, etc.
• CSC: the Item WarpItemTo event can now be targeted towards other items (beware of clipping issues on items without physics and colliders!) or a specific Game Object
• CSC: the Key and Key2 Interactive Items now have Item Functions enabled
• CSC: added the CombineValue game event, which will allow you to add two Characters’ Values (or two for the same Character) together. There will be some protection against adding text/strings to floats, etc. (e.g. you won’t be able to accidentally add ‘hello’ to a Value that is ‘2.5’), but CSC users should use care and review Values and Event usage via the CSC Search tool when making liberal use of all of the current Character Value-related events and Criteria that are now available
• CSC: Added additional MoveTargets to the MoveTarget list
• CSC: you can now disable the Combat Energy regeneration penalty incurred by Sprinting via the NoSprintingEnergyRegenPenalty property

• All alcohol items in the game (except for the Flask, which will require use of some CSC events to match functionality with other items) are now grabbable and by default have physics enabled, have collision SFX, are highlighted if dropped in the grass, and prevent unimportant events from playing when they are mounted to a Character
• All alcohol items in the game have had their carry offsets, rotations, and hand positioning set appropriately
• Fixed an issue that could cause certain items to not be highlighted in the grass even if they were supposed to, due to multiple mesh renderers being present or niche configurations of mesh renderers in our blah blah do you even care about this crap at this point? Thing was a potato. It isn’t a potato anymore, that’s all you need to know
• Characters will prioritize relationships with other Characters more than Mood when choosing an automatic emote for conversation or when another Character gets close enough to trigger an automatic “look at”
• Fixed an issue that could cause the OnAnyItemAcceptFallback Event Trigger/Reaction to fall through and also allow Refuse events execute
• Added the Item Group functionality. Characters can now check criteria and fire events based on a customized set of items within a CSC-specified Item Group. These events are checked after AND in addition to individual Item accept/refuse Interactions
• Fixed an issue that was preventing the system-default message for an NPC refusing an item from being displayed, even if none of the OnRefuse Events for that item had their criteria met
• Events that are logged via an OnDialogueStart are now labeled properly as such in the Debug Log
• Item Interactions (TriggerGiveTo’s to Characters, Use Withs between Items) now log what items/entities were involved in the Interaction within the Debug Log and what the basic outcome of the Interaction was
• Fixed an issue that was causing the “unzip pants” sound to not play correctly
• Fixed an issue that could cause a couple poses to be unavailable in the Command Console

• CSC: fixed an issue that was allowing users to select Characters that were not the Player for event trigger types that can only be triggered by the Player (e.g. VapesOnMe, etc.)
• CSC: added the PlayerReleasesItem event type for Event Triggers
• CSC: the Search tool now shows the total number of obtained search results
• CSC: users can now insert a new Criteria Group at any order in the list
• CSC: addition of more hover-based tooltips throughout the CSC, and cleanup of a few existing tooltips
• CSC: items can now be mounted to a Character’s neck. Note that as of the time of this writing, only one item (the new ‘Collar’) is configured to fit appropriately on a Character’s neck
• CSC: Added the Item Group aspect/page to the main story/story collection object. These will allow you to assign Items into an Item Group, and then within a Character Story, check Criteria and fire Events based on entire Item Groups instead of individual items
• CSC: Users can now find Item Group-based accept and refusal behaviors in the Item Interactions page for each Character Story
• CSC: added ItemFromItemGroup game event type, which can only be selected when working within Item Groups. This event will take item data from an Item Group Accept or Refuse event, and automatically pass a variety of item or inventory related events to that item, without having to specifically script for it
• CSC: cleanup of minor formatting issues
• CSC: limited selection of doors, chairs, and bed-type items where such selections were not appropriate
• CSC: Users can now set up Item-Group based Item Interactions for the Player, in order to assign radial/left-click interactions to broad groups of items
• CSC: Item Group Behaviors (main story collection) and Item Group Interactions (per Character) can now also make use of Item Group-based criteria. These can check to see if the item being “acted upon” meets any of the same criteria offered by the “Item” criteria type, as well as if the item being acted upon is in the Player’s inventory
• CSC: when populating Values automatically, the CSC will now also look Values used within CompareValues criteria
• CSC: translation template exports will now include Background Chatter StartEvents, and Item Interaction OnAccept and OnRefuse events, if any of those events are translatable
