House Party 0.17.2 Released to Beta Testers

Hey guys!

Sorry for the delay with the beta. Unfortunately, our voice actor for Derek is no longer doing VA work. For continuity purposes, we re-cast the entire part. We still have some corrections to make, and some lines to re-record, but for the most part, we’ve got almost everything in, and the beta is here!

Also in this update are some outfit redesigns for Patrick and Vickie, and we cleaned up a lot of Derek’s story content paths. There should hopefully be some performance improvements as well, as we’ve really been working on tweaking as much as we can in that regard.

Enjoy!

Eek! Team

In the Original Story: the Player will no longer be able to try to Give Derek anything while he is all passionate and stuff with Madison
In the Original Story: Patrick’s reached Perception (100) and will hide his booze if he sees Leah or Frank. He’s clearly not THAT drunk…
In the Original Story: fixed an issue with-BRREEEEEOOOOOOOOOWWWRRRR…sorry. Let me try again: fixed an emote issue with Arin’s painting scene that could cause some fighting between various audio clips on the backend
In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could cause Leah to walk away from Lety to try and participate in the Game Grumps BRREEEEEOOOOOOOOOWWWRRRR (yes, this is the internal name so fuck off, ok?) scene and then become temporarily unable to restart the Lety scene if the Player did not punch Arin in a timely fashion
In the Original Story: attacking Derek or being attacked BY Derek during the events of “High and Dry”, and succeeding in defending yourself or running away will no longer irreversibly break his behavior or Madison’s behaviors in most cases
In the Original Story: added two new Achievements, “Good Ol’ Days”, and “Snapped”
In the Original Story: the Player will now receive a small Romance boost with Brittney when completing the threesome with Lety and Brittney

In the Original Story: additional minor social rewards added for generally positive, standalone, choice-based exchanges between the Player and a few NPCs
In the Original Story: fixed a Madison dialogue that could “summon” Derek even if he was technically unavailable
In the Original Story: there is now a minor social meter penalty for pestering Madison after she so very clearly tells you…well…not do that
In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could allow fast Players to talk to Derek while he was showing off his ‘artwork’ during Madison’s “Art Show”. He needs to be 100% focused…come on!
In the Original Story: cleaned up additional some minor behaviors related to “The Muse”, and added some minor social meter adjustments based on Player response choices
In the Original Story: the “timer” that can result in the Player failing out of “High and Dry” (while Derek is climbing to the roof in order to check the Voice Recorder) now starts after his dialogue about Purgalicious being on the roof, resulting in a bit more leniency

In the Original Story: added some restrictions to when the Voice Recorder can be used based upon varying failures of “High and Dry”

In the Original Story: made a tweak to requirements for Patrick to show up at the “art show” for “The Muse” that should both maximize his availability to check out your masterpiece, but also prevent him from heading there if he’s unavailable
In the Original Story: fixed an issue that let fast Players start a conversation with Madison when she should have otherwise been focused on Derek showing off during the “art show” segment of “The Muse”
In the Original Story: tweaked Patrick’s “follow the Player” behavior that can occur after the events of Madison’s “art show” to minimize any chance that he will continue to try and follow the Player after reaching Stephanie
In the Original Story: once the Player successfully coaxes Ashley’s “pet” out of its cage as part of “Causing a Ruckus”, Ashley will try to approach the Player more often. 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: made a minor change to Derek’s behavior right after the prank (“Sibling Warfare” finale) against Madison that should prevent him from inexplicably trying to walk to Madison later on in a playthrough
In the Original Story: most of the Characters will be more mindful about roaming around to the bedrooms in the house…since, well, who just goes into someone’s bedroom uninvited to chill all alone? However, they may still end up in the bedroom(s) if they were invited to hang there by Ashley or Madison, OR if they decided to go hang out with Ashley or Madison on their own
In the Original Story: widespread cleanup of minor Character behaviors like Roaming toggles, etc.

In the Original Story: tightened up events related to Lety and Madison’s garage talk for “Queen in the North”

In the Original Story: Madison can also repair socials with Leah and Lety as part of her “Smooth Operator” relationship-repair perk

In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could cause Leah to forget to gently hold Julius Squeezer after she did hand stuffs
In the Original Story: choosing the wrong spoofed text to Vickie will actually fail the “Vickie Vixen” opportunity now, since there is no recovery method for sending a second spoofed text at that point
In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could prevent Leah’s socials from being negatively affected if the Player attacked her outside of varying times in the story during which she’s more forgiving
In the Original Story: tweaked some minor behaviors and emotes related to Leah’s “punch training” with the Player in the Garage
In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could allow Arin to roam away from Dan if the Player gave Dan Compubrah instead of presenting Compubrah via main dialogue
In the Original Story: added some pose-release/action item clipping mitigation to Katherine’s “preparation” events before she gets her picture taken with the Game Grumps

In the Original Story: various optimizations and improvements to certain Periodic events for Madison, Lety, Patrick, and Rachael
In the Original Story: Madison will be a tiny bit more vigilant about checking to see who is using her phone at the party

In the Original Story: Madison will now be able to see the Player read her diary and react accordingly WHILE the Player still has the “diary dialogue” open. 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: Derek’s “Combat Perk” that you can get from siding with Derek at a couple points in the story will be somewhat more effective at preventing Madison from ensuring your doom…assuming he is around to stick up for you

In the Original Story: cleaned up the behavior that Lety uses to try and stay away from Leah after their “Just in the Kick of Time” encounter

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
In the Original Story: slight tweak to the criteria for the Game Grumps’ “Bathtub Toaster” scenario to start, which should make it less likely for the Player to see the Grumps warp away
In the Original Story: fixed an issue that would allow the Player to start the finale of Ashley’s “Drunk and Disorderly” at certain times that were very…unfortunate for her sister. And possibly game breaking

In the Original Story: Katherine will now be too excited about taking a photo with the Game Grumps to talk to the Player until the Game Grumps Compubrah/VR finale is over
In the Original Story: tweaked the availability of the apology response for having untied Ashley’s Top to be less dependent on two temporary values derived from the finale of Ashley’s “Drunk and Disorderly”, and on failure cases of “Sibling Warfare” in which the Player did not actually DO anything to/against Ashley
In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could cause the Ashley’s Top “Untie” action to become unavailable a bit prematurely as part of her repeatable intimacy reward for “Smooth Operator – Ashley”
In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could allow the Player to infinitely boost socials with Madison via a repeatable dialogue that is available during the finale of her “Drunk and Disorderly” opportunity
In the Original Story: minor cleanup of some SendEvent/motion-related behaviors after the Game Grumps’ “Bathtub Toaster” scenario that should prevent Arin and Dan from getting stuck on each other as they try to leave a bathroom
In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could allow Arin to continue to walk away from pool ol’ Danny if the Player gave the Star Bomb Box to Dan first instead of Arin
In the Original Story: tidied and tightened up some behaviors during the “evil”/Ronin finale of Leah’s “Broken Code” opportunity
In the Original Story: fixed an issue that would allow some intrusive events to play while the Player was trying to strip down for Leah before the intimacy reward during the “evil”/Ronin finale of Leah’s “Broken Code” opportunity
In the Original Story: fixed an issue that would allow the Player to Take the Spray Paint can after Leah had committed to investigating the closet, which could lead to some seemingly mystical changes to Leah’s face and choice of words
In the Original Story: if the Player was never encouraged by Leah to seek out someone who might know more about the Katana, a certain dialogue response will not be available from a certain “katana expert”
In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could prevent Frank from immediately going to search for his apprentice, if the Player had recently done something that sent him back to his chair
In the Original Story: fixed an issue that would allow, within small time windows, certain Leah reactions for to the Player exposing himself to execute when it was pretty much Leah’s idea for the Player to get naked anyway
In the Original Story: two Patrick responses that can be used to shoo him away from an area no longer require that the Player has talked to Frank first
In the Original Story: added an additional thought bubble to hint why Leah might not be meeting up with Lety, should the Player be mixing in certain content… Brah
In the Original Story: other miscellaneous cleanup of Derek “recovery” behaviors if he had been in combat or knocked out around the time Madison’s ‘art show’ started
In the Original Story: upon waking up from being knocked out, Derek will not randomly change location if he is in the midst of content that “occupies” him
In the Original Story: cleanup of some of Ashley’s post-“Family Time” behavior in the case that the Player managed to get to that point while ALSO having failed “Sibling Warfare”
In the Original Story: tweaked a dialogue event to try and prevent the Penguin from becoming…uh, “part of” Madison or the Player during a specific Easter Egg situation

In the Original Story: added an extra response for Vickie to allow more convenient prompting of her repeatable intimacy reward, should she be sitting in the hot tub under certain circumstances

In the Original Story: fixed an issue that would allow the Player to initiate Leah’s “gift” (sparring training) after the “good” ending of “Broken Code” if Frank was occupied/unavailable, which could cause him to show up and break other content…or not show up at all
In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could affect Rachael’s socials with the Player if the Player gave her her Thermos without having first started “Hunt for Red’s Thermos”
In the Original Story: tweaked responses in Rachael’s “given thermos” dialogue in the case that the Player gave her her Thermos without having first started “Hunt for Red’s Thermos”

Fixed font inconsistency in some places
Tweaked billboard materials
Made sure Vickie had her boots on in the main menu
Certain sound effects for the Popper, Starbomb, and Firepit are now referenced by their Interactive Item script directly (SoundEffect1, etc.), meaning their sounds can be called directly via
the CSC or command console
Fixed an issue that could cause Characters to “snap back” to a bed item if they were directly warped out of them instead of having their pose released first
Fixed an issue that could cause Characters to “snap back” to certain Action Items if they were directly warped out of them instead of having their pose released first

NPCs that have the ShooOthers state will no longer be invited by other NPCs to “hang out” when the other NPC randomly roams

Minor cleanup of situational info delivery in the CharInfo console command
Fixed a null ref that could occur when using the CharInfo console command in cases where the target Character was…let’s just say “lost”
Improved exception logging for a few backend systems; these will be caught in the Unity output_log.txt, not the in-game Debug Log

Fixed an issue that could prevent the Player from being able to interact with items of a certain size should they roll underneath the bed/desk in Ashley’s room/SpareRoom
Added the InfoDump Console Command, which returns heaps of helpful info about all Characters in a story. You should use this command once immediately prior to saving a Debug Log. This
Command does NOT count as cheating.
The player interaction crosshair will not be visible/usable until the game fully loads and “fades in”
Sync’d the name of the hardcoded value that the Madison’s Phone item uses to the value used by the Original Story
The MadisonPhone item can now make use of other Game Events when the Inspect action is used on it. Previously, this was hardcoded to NOT fire any other interaction events if an action named “Inspect” was used. Existing behaviors for Player values like “madison:GotPhoneCode” remain unchanged

If an NPC is able to roam, then the Roaming Console Command will show the approximate remaining time until their next roaming attempt when the ‘list’ subcommand is used
Fixed typos or confusing text in a handful of Command Console feedback strings
Fixed an issue that allowed Players to clip through an exterior wall in the back yard on the right side of the house
Updated male pose list to include the sixtyninetop pose and made necessary engine changes to allow for the pose to be used.
Fixed issue where duplicate audio leases in the game could prevent characters from dancing next to obviously playing speakers.
Fixed issue causing duplicated memories to appear in the memories window when restarting game or loading a saved game.
Updated memories/opportunities interface to look for/use translations for the texts shown.
Fixed issue where long memories in the memories interface were getting truncated.
Updated engine to look for/use completed details and failed details for quests/opportunities in the translation templates.
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.
Disabled HDR for the cameras in scene that are responsible for rendering what you see in the mirrors. Should see a performance improvement for this.
Added logging in the debug to explain why/when auto saves are delayed.
Updated engine to execute any queued game events that have no set delay immediately when selecting a response/closing a dialogue so that any subsequent dialogue criteria is evaluated after those events execute. This fixes some broken original story dialogue sequences.
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.
Fixed issue where loading a new game/saved game while the current game has a dialogue displayed could prevent dialogues from being shown in the new/loaded game.

House Party 0.17.1 Released to Alpha Testers

Hey guys!

Here’s the latest Alpha build of House Party 0.17.1. We’ve fleshed out the rest of Derek’s story, and it’s fully playable now as we start to enter the Beta cycles. We’ve also got some major under the hood performance tweaks and updates, so we’re hoping that some of you playing on older hardware will be able to get smoother frame rates, and maybe even be able to bump up the graphics settings!

Also, characters can now be lit on fire. Just saying.

Enjoy!

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: removed a possible Amy “hot tub invite” response if the Player failed at certain “Scavenger Hunt”-related 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: fixed a handful of fluff responses for a few Characters that should have always been repeatable, and/or that should have had ‘goodbye’/exit responses present
In the Original Story: fixed a really Grumpy typo in one of Patrick’s responses regarding Stephanie and some danciRBWAOWWWWRRRRR
In the Original Story: added various reactions by all the Characters to the Player…relieving themselves. No not that! The other thing!
In the Original Story: tweaked some of the pose combinations used in Leah’s “…Screw Like a Bee?” Opportunity
In the Original Story: tweaked some minor behaviors and emotes related to Leah’s “…Screw Like a Bee?” Opportunity
In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could cause Derek and Lety’s “meetup” behavior for “Hunk Hunt” to break if the Player had simultaneously been pursuing “Smooth Operator: Ashley” and had not spoken to Ashley yet about going to her room
In the Original Story: Katherine now has a response when offered the Vibratron 3000
In the Original Story: Katherine now has a response when offered the Whack Spankiel’s, the filled Flask, and the Thermos
In the Original Story: if the Player has turned off the Stove before the Kettle whistles and heats up the Coffee, the Kettle will no longer magically continue to heat up the Coffee
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: the Player can no longer ask Amy about the Katana for Leah’s content if Amy is being all intimate-like in any way. Increases safe sex rate by 40% and decreases OSHA violations by some other arbitrary joke figure

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
Fixed an issue that could allow a fast Player (or if an Add To Inventory/”Take” event was delayed) to have a Radial menu left open after an Item was removed from the game world and added into their inventory
Fixed an issue that could cause males to not transfer smoothly out of intimacy poses into a…self-pleasuring pose. Their behavior in this regard should now more closely resemble the female NPCs
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 Motor Oil can now make use of Item Functions
Fixed an issue that could cause Characters to erroneously fire EnteredZone events as a game was loading, before many other game mechanics (including Player movement, vision, etc.) were activated
Character reactions (Expose Genitals, etc.) will now reset as long as two Characters are not within vicinity of each other (about 2.5 arm lengths) OR cannot be seen by each other
Fixed an issue that could cause items to become easily stuck behind or to the side of the Bathtub Seat spots in the Master Bathroom and Upstairs Guest Bathroom
The Dialogue console command will now accept DialogueOnlyCharacters like Compubrah and PhoneCall
Many console commands will not take effect on Characters until they are enabled
“Diagnostic” console commands (values list, events list, etc.) may only return partial data for disabled characters
Added the EnableNPC console command
Added the DisableNPC console command
Added the CombineValue console command
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
Fixed Derek drinking offsets
Added animation for drinking in hottub and tweaked the values for hottub and normal sitting while drinking for all characters
Fixed Patrick’s blendshape emotes
Updated Arin and Vickie censored albedo textures
Fixed sex hotspots/grab points for Derek’s right shoulder and Frank’s right leg
Updated skin shader to fix green flickering issue on low
Fixed deforming NPC hands when opening doors
Offset Brittney’s limbs to reduce clipping trough her breasts
Changed spawn location for all characters
Fixed Ashley’s untied top not showing
Added uncapped version of natty lite model
Fixed UI text misalignment
Fixed the dressor realtime mirror displaying a flipped reflection
Fixed a bug where shadow artifacts could be seen near the firepit
Added a default BG for the billboards and slightly adjusted the aspect ratio
Added correct inventory image for collar item

House Party 0.17.0 Released to Alpha Testers

The world sucks right now, so perhaps a House Party alpha can brighten your day a bit. Let’s show you guys what we’re working on.

Derek is the main focus of this update, and so far we’re about 30% through implementing his new story. There’s a good portion of playable content, but our second alpha will have much more.

Outside of the story additions, we’re excited for you guys to check out the coveted PEE MECHANIC. Like most award winning games on the market, being able to urinate freely in a social environment is absolutely key. So we’ve added this feature, because we just wouldn’t be able to win future accolades without it.

To compliment this new feature, we’re in the process of adding more alcohol to the game so that you can, as the scholars put it, get shitfaced out of your fucking gourd. Many of these inebriators will be available in the final release of Derek’s update.

Lastly, we’ve revamped Leah and Frank and the way they detect the Player’s alcohol shenanigans. While they’ll still attack as soon as the Player TAKES alcohol into their inventory, they’ll offer a word of warning if the Player is simply holding alcohol, giving them a chance to escape an ass-beating if they put the booze down. This detection system is based around vision and distance, allowing for sneakier Players to get by if they’re loading up undetected. Play around with this system, we’ve put a lot of work into making it feel engaging and fair.

Anyway, saying “stay safe” feels so empty honestly so we just hope you all are okay in your brains. It’s tough being locked inside for this long. Enjoy breaking our shit and we’ll have another alpha for you not too far down the line.

Thanks,

Eek! Team

Changelog:

0.17.0
(Alpha 05/4/2020)

In the Original Story: the Player can now drink from several more items around the house. This includes the faucet, you unrepentant savage
In the Original Story: added new Opportunities for Derek – “Memory Lane” and “Mission Impawsible”
In the Original Story: the beers that were formerly unusable in the liquor cabinet are now possible to make use of, in all the same ways as the other beers found throughout the house
In the Original Story: to better coincide with many alcohol related changes in this update, looting Frank now does the following – the Player has a 50% chance to get back a beer for every beer they gave to Frank. Any beers Frank already ‘destroyed’ will no longer be usable in the story
In the Original Story: turning in alcohol items (or rather…”sacrificing them”?) for various Drunk and Disorderly Opportunities, giving them to Patrick, etc. no longer automatically fails content like “Hunt for Red’s Thermos” etc., as there’s always more than one path to victory…
In the Original Story: major changes have been made to Frank and Leah’s treatment of the Player and alcohol items. In some ways their behavior will be more forgiving and for sneaky
Players, more rewarding. In other ways, well…you still need to prepare your soothing butt gel
In the Original Story: complete “emotional overhaul” of Derek. His behavior is more deeply tied into the social meters system now, and should have more appropriate emotes in a variety of major story moments
Add two spots for Characters to sit on the roof outside the art room. Tantalizingly close to the pizza
Enabled more Natty Lites for use as Interactive Items in stories
Added Bloody collar and wearable collar models
Added oil trails/puddle and fire particles
Added peeing effects
Added bladder UI
Changes to orgasm UI
Changes to the opportunity window
Added a memory tab in the opportunity UI
Added another real-time mirror in the master bedroom
Improved males giving blowjob and its animation
Fixed Amy shirt clipping
Made all UI now translatable
Improved hand rigs female characters
Updated Derek’s clothing
Improved Frank, Derek and Patricks blendshapes/emotes
Added animation for drinking while sitting
Visual changes to the credits
Fixed a bug where the buttons in the main menu were offset
Fixed a bug where the language drop down in the main menu was not accessible
In the Original Story: the Player can now throw beer on Madison as long as they have a beer in their inventory, or are holding a beer in their hand
In the Original Story: Katherine won’t be able to see the Player tamper with the Rum if the Player is not roughly in front of her
In the Original Story: fixed a bug that could prevent Katherine from ‘summoning’ the Game Grumps if the Player took certain actions in regards to “Dare Interference”
In the Original Story: continued tweaks and improvements to various “NPC overhears a bad thing” behaviors to make certain situations feel less like an “ambush” if a wandering/moving NPC is not visible to the Player due to a wall, etc.
In the Original Story: minor changes to Amy greeting dialogue behavior and her treatment of the Player based on a negative friendship (socials) value
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 can now get in trouble for just trying to open Madison’s Safe, not just for taking the Diary itself. There are now also social meter implications for these actions, in case the Player survives the consequences
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
It should now be much harder (hopefully impossible!) to experience a “broken” radial menu after grabbing an item from the Player’s inventory
The Player releasing an item can now tie into an event trigger/reaction
Fixed an issue with the AddPhysicsRigidBody itemfunction that would prevent the physics behavior of the item from being maintained if the item was added to the Player’s inventory and then removed, etc.
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: users can now Copy All game events in a “block” of game events (On Dialogue Start, On Dialogue Close, Responses, Event Triggers, etc.) and then paste all of those game events elsewhere
CSC: added the PlayerGrabsItem event type for Event Triggers
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

House Party 0.16.5 Stable Release

Well, well, well. It’s about time. Arin Hanson, Dan Avidan, it’s time to PARTY. The Game Grumps update is here.

In this feature packed update, you’re going to see the Game Grumps in a brand new original adventure that changes with every playthrough. And every line of dialogue, all 300+ lines of it, has been voiced by the Grumps themselves.

As mentioned above, the GG storyline is dynamic and your playthroughs may contain interactions and experiences someone else has yet to see in their playthroughs. The Grumps serve in an extended cameo role, meaning you’ll see them pop in on existing content with that trademark commentary they’re so well known for.

There’s nothing you can’t try with these guys. Well, except for the sexier parts of House Party. We dare not sully the image of thy Grumps. Other than that, we’ve designed this experience to be really expansive. Dan and Arin will have something to say about a lot of things you can do in House Party.

And in addition to all of that, the Grumps have an actual storyline! Once you get the Grumps to the party, there are 2 major, unique routes of escape you can help them reach. There’s even a little mini shitty one too! Game development! While their primary storyline can be finished in a short amount of time, revel in the interactions the Grumps can have with you and other party guests while they’re desperately searching for a way to GTFO.

From a technical standpoint, this update has so many improvements, the changelog alone is gonna make your eyes melt. From animation tweaks to graphical enhancements, we’ve been in quarantine long before the rest of the world to make this update shiiiiiny. Want a few examples?

-Several previous storylines now have more pathways to add to more organic progression.
-The Custom Story Browser is now available in-game, allowing you to download and play user-created stories from directly within House Party.
-Intimacy animations and hand placement on objects now look more natural. Hold dem beers, boiiii.

Read the changelog for more, but remember to come up for air every once and awhile.

If you’re coming to House Party by way of Grumps fandom, we hope you feel we did your boys right. If you like what you see, perhaps mingle with the other party people and see what kind of ridiculous shit you can get yourselves into. And if you’ve been a HP player long before this content drop, thanks for playing as always. You guys are awesome. Don’t die from coronavirus, we would miss you all dearly.

0.16.5 (Stable Release)
(3/24/20)

Added new characters: Dan and Arin
Added six new achievements
Revamped the player inventory menu as well as the Give To/Use With window. It should now be much easier to work with items.
Added Inventory thumbnails for most items that are able to be picked up in game
Inventory can now be sorted by Order picked up, reverse order picked up, or Alphabetically
Reduced polygon count in all characters’ hair, more than halving it in some cases (performance optimization)
Added hand “hot spots” and better aligned all sex animations
Paired Emotes system
Added usable bath tub seats in the Upstairs Bathroom and Master Bathroom
Fixed an issue with the Enters Zone functionality that could cause the Enters Zone reaction to break
Further optimization of the Debug Log. General memory management improvements and more aggressive pruning of old events from the UI interface. Debug Log should still provide visibility in-game to upwards of 760 events
The laugh emote will now affect NPC mood, depending on their Nice and Happy personality traits
The CharFunc command, when used with the ‘list’ subcommand, will show the number of alternate body or clothing textures available to a Character, if they allow the usage of either character function
The CharFunc command can now be used correctly with the SwitchToAlternateBodyTexture and SwitchToAlternateClothingTexture character functions
Additional uses of the ‘list’ subcommand within Commands like CharFunc, Item, etc. will not flag the Player as having Cheated (i.e. will not disable Achievements)
The CharFunc command also supports using ‘list’ with a Character name, which will show just that Character’s character functions, as well as any supporting function info like texture IDs and their names
The Player will now only have the State “Running” if: they are not held in place by game mechanics or UI, if they are actually visibly using a movement animation, AND are holding the Run key. This should ensure that the “Running” state is far more usable via the CSC
Automatic/backend Emotes should be more expressive outside of TriggerBGC and Dialogues
Emotes triggered via Game Events/CSC or Console Command can now blend simultaneously with other emotes, and can be given an
Emote Strength to manually set how strong the facial component of the Emote should be when executed
The SendEvent console command can now make use of the Point event
Added Character Stand Spots to the game, for now in the basket of the hot air balloon only. These spots function similarly to chairs in that they are “used” by Characters and impose certain restrictions and behaviors, but do not pose them
Added the WarpOverTime Game Event to the game and CSC. This will allow you to move a Character, with very much magic, through the game world towards a MoveTarget or Item at a speed (in seconds) of your choosing
Added the WarpOverTime Console Command
Added various new SendEvent options to the SendEvent Console Command
Falling Characters will no longer “teleport” directly to the ground, and will now fall with grace, aplomb, and humility
An error in the CSC that could appear when the stars aligned and Unity’s EditorUpdate noticed you were mousing over Window with no title or not mousing over any Window will no longer appear
NPCs will now accept a wider array of emotes via CSC Game Events (PuckeredLips, ClosedEyes, Eyebrows Up/In). If an NPC does not have an emote/expression (BlendShape) available for the event, it will not process
Fixed an issue that could cause disabled Characters to erroneously receive Game Events and SaveLoad behaviors
The SendEvent console command will now accept many more events for the Player, such as jumping, drinking, etc.
Emote Console Command can once again trigger puckered lips, closed eyes, and eyebrows up or eyebrows in emotes
Fixed an issue that was causing Phone4 and the Chili Pepper items to register as being “held” by the Player upon Game Start, which could prevent them from being used with the WarpItemTo event
Improved minor aspects of default naming conventions within the CSC for Event Triggers
The State Console Command will no longer automatically apply/remove States from the Player when used with the ‘all’ subcommand
Fixed an issue in the CSC that could cause the BGC Responses interface to break if the user selected a Character Responder first, then swapped back to ‘Anybody’
Background Chatter can now have emotes attached to them. These emotes will behave similarly to back-end/automatic emotes in that they are for “flavor” only and cannot have a defined emotive strength
If a CSC user has renamed a Character, that Character’s Display Name (new name) will appear in the Combat UI when they are struck, instead of their default Original Story name
The Charfunc Console Command will no longer seemingly omit newly added character functions
CSC users can now call events against environmental impacts via the ImpactsGround and ImpactsWall Event Trigger types
Responses to Important Background Chatters that have specific SpeakingTo targets are now automatically treated as ImportantBGCs as well. This should allow easy configuration of “chained” TriggerBGC conversations or sequences
Background Chatter that does not have an associated voice clip (i.e. would be seen via text only) will now display, terminate, and transition to another response properly. This will ensure that custom, unvoiced BGCs can be used in custom stories
The loading of .character files will now properly show the Character name for these .character files, instead of the Story Name for every file
Characters that fall from a certain height or more will automatically enter an “idle falling” animation
Important/Triggered BGC audio and text will be audible/remain visible at longer ranges than standard BGC audio and text
Fixed a minor formatting issue in the Roaming Console Command
Fixed an issue that was allowing the Debug Log to include line breaks or new lines instead of properly truncating them
Fixed an issue that was preventing the full selection of Move Targets from appearing in the CSC
When the MP3 Player is freed from the shitty ceiling light/glorious chandelier of victory, it will now do a graceful little tumble so that it doesn’t land in an awkward, hard-to-see vertical position
Fixed a null reference issue that can be triggered if a CSC user uses the Combat.Die event (CSC users: use “Pass Out” instead…always)
Fixed an issue in the CSC that could allow recursive event protection to take effect on events that were not of type “Event Trigger”
Fixed an issue in the CSC that could prevent WarpItemTo from functioning correctly
Fixed an issue that could cause the Player to enter combat mode and be unable to leave if the Player was attacked while the Property
DoesNotFightBack was enabled
The Camera item will now play the shutter close effect, shutter SFX, and register via story values that a picture was taken and if that picture is a naked picture of an NPC, all BEFORE it attempts to perform any screenshot saving or I/O operations. This should further minimize issues when using the Camera item
Added the AddForce Console Command. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Fixed an issue in the CSC that was adding an erroneous string to Item : ItemFunction Game Event names
The Values Console Command will now properly accept “None” as a Value for the specified Key (e.g. CombatTarget = None)
Fixed Leah’s teeth
Fixed Katherine bra skin mask
Created extra emotes for all characters (Laugh, Ecstatic, Scared and Surprised)
Optimized Stephanie model
Fixed Vickie’s clipping nipple rings
Updated Combat UI
Changed sizes of some UI elements
Fixed offset on the flamingo LOD
Remake of the main menu scene
Added starbomb model
Added a big balloon model
Added multiple colored particles for several occasions
Added some phoenicopterus ruber animations
Added sound effects to ‘ finale’ scene
Avatar images for Dan and Arin
New story quest images
More optimized method for realtime mirrors
Fixed fridge discoloration
Fine-tuned and polished NPC eye-contact, facial expressions, and awareness of the player when the player is in conversation with them, and when they are in conversations with other NPCs.
Added support for Completed, Failed, and Step-Based Opportunity descriptions to help guide the players more
Changed the look and feel of Opportunity notifications
Added censored versions of Madison’s photos on her phone for when the player has the censor nudity option checked
Revamped the Opportunity Window (More changes coming)
Added a couple of new states to put characters in a very basic idle with no fidgeting
Fixed an issue that could sometimes cause the speakers to lose sync
Implemented new logic around the way Dialogues are processed which should prevent the game ever getting “stuck” in rare circumstances
Tweaked alignment of certain anatomy in some intimacy positions
Implemented a new clothing system that can support multiple outfits better
All females are now equipped with “Strap Ons” that can be enabled via clothing commands
Minor tweaks to size and position of UpstairsBathroomZone collider
Set up right hand mounting and misc item settings for the Toaster
Criteria Groups can now be re-ordered in the CSC via up and down arrows, similar to the re-ordering functionality recently added to Event Triggers
The “throw” animation no longer rotates the character
Fixed an issue that was disabling Dialogue Only Characters on loaded games
Added a highway billboard + sound
New credits entries
New design for opportunity pop-ups
New design for opportunity log
Added “small versions” of avatars
Added censored versions of madison’s phone pictures (for when censorship is enabled)
Fixed discoloration between LOD versions of characters
Updated Amy’s clothing
Fixed Rachael’s LOD2 skinning
Improved allignment and clipping all strapon’s
Add Arin and Dan to the main menu
Fixed clothing skipping on main menu
Fixed LOD flickering, objects disappearing and lighting artifacts on several objects
Fixed Ashley LOD sandals and Arin LOD spikes
CSC: Criteria within Criteria Group sets will now automatically sort based on their Order, like they do in Game Events, Event Triggers, etc.
When adding new Criteria within the CSC, Criteria are no longer auto-ordered by the total count of Criteria that exist in the collection/list of Criteria. They will now automatically be given an order number that is one greater than the order of the previous/last Criteria shown. Anyone else OCD much? How are your fingernails?
When moving Event Triggers up or down in the CSC, the name of the event being moved will now properly be displayed even if it was not given a custom name
Fixed two null reference exceptions that could occur in the CSC and cause the interface to break when copy pasting an event that had “Player” as its Character, and then swapping to an event type that did not support a Player-type character
Added a second Move Target behind the table in the Garage

Fixed an issue that could cause Characters to have an unintendedly long cooldown timer before dancing again if they were recently in combat, engaging in intimacy, or had been knocked out

In the Original Story: Ashley and the Player must now both actually be IN her room (spare room) in order for the Player to prompt her about removing her clothes prior to moving forward with “Change of Heart” or “Humiliate Ashley”

In the Original Story: Ashley will wait to beg for her clothes back from the Player until any currently open dialogue from her is closed
In the Original Story: Ashley will now always attempt to walk to the sofa in her room after being given her clothes back after “Humiliate Ashley” is completed, instead of sometimes doing a little half-juke movement towards the master bedroom and walking back to her room anyway. Decisiveness + 100!
In the Original Story: Ashley’s “Untie” top action has a bit more freedom to it now, but she will also react much more…aggressively to it being untied if the Player has greatly upset her over the course of the party

In the Original Story: Madison will need to be over 40% closer to the Player to catch them inspecting her Phone, and the Player will need to be in front of her (so…no more being caught nearly halfway across the yard while walking away)…HOWEVER, she will catch the player faster when the new conditions ARE met, and looking at her contacts (to get Vickie’s number) or her Calendar will now also count as inspecting her Phone
In the Original Story: there is now a heavy social meter penalty for being caught plotting against Madison with Ashley
In the Original Story: there is now a heavy social meter penalty for being caught inspecting Madison’s Phone…not that it’ll matter, even if you survive her minions…

In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could cause Frank to not be…present, exactly, for his special participation during one ending of “The Muse”
In the Original Story: if the Player goes off the deep end and pisses off Madison (lowering her socials) before they prompt the finale of her “Smooth Operator” opportunity, her reaction during the finale will be…a bit different

In the Original Story: clarified the “Panties Off” option with Stephanie so that Players know that it is not a means of obtaining panties for Amy’s “Scavenger Hunt”
In the Original Story: made minor tweaks to the “Throw One” Actions for the PopperBox and StarbombBox to prevent minor bugs
In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could cause the Spare Room 2/Art Room closet doors to repeatedly and rapidly close in the face of a Player who rushed in and grabbed the Spray Paint Can

In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could occur if the Player got the appropriate “Trust”/prerequisites to start Ashley’s prank against Madison, gave Ashley Madison’s Phone but NOT Madison’s Diary, then went and got Patrick beat up or otherwise occupied, and then returned to Ashley and gave her the diary before Patrick could become unoccupied, which could prevent the Player from being able to advance in Ashley’s prank later on…can’t you people just play the game the way we intended and splooge on everyone?!

In the Original Story: removed old distance checks from Amy’s “Where can I hook up with the Player?” logic; she will now no longer reject the Player in corners or odd niche spots of the “allowed areas”, and as long as both she and the Player are in the same room/space, they can get down

In the Original Story: mitigated an issue that could cause Patrick to walk away from Ashley during their pre-Family Time dialogues
In the Original Story: at various points after Family Time (Ashley’s Prank content path) it will now be possible for Madison to overhear Ashley and the Player plotting against her. This will cause the Player to fail out of that content

In the Original Story: fixed an issue that would allow the Player to indefinitely let Steph hang out in the spare room 2/art room during “Meltdown” AFTER giving her all the items she needed and being told to leave her alone.

In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could cause Rachael and Patrick to be unable to Talk with the Player if Frank KO’d Patrick right as Rachael was confronting Patrick and opening her dialogue with him
In the Original Story: Madison will react to the Player untying Ashley’s top somewhat faster, however, she must also be able to SEE Ashley instead of just be relatively close to her

In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could cause Brittney to stand up and approach the Player after being flashed at times she should not do so

House Party 0.15.4 Stable Release

Leah’s time has come! It’s the official release of 0.15.4 and with it a whoooole bunch of additions to House Party. Seriously, we’re getting wild in this update.

If you’ve been following this release, you know that Leah’s new story includes around 400 lines of new dialogue and some very new, very unique items. Leah’s story includes 2 major branches that play to the good and the evil that boils inside every asskicker. Which side will you lead her towards?

And speaking of asskicking, combat is now a feature in House Party. From the moment you walk in the door, you can raise your fists and show Patri–I mean people what you’re made of. There are several items and activities that you can do around the house to increase your strength, stamina, and speed, but completing Leah’s story is the best way to ensure you’re the heavyweight of the house.

If you’re finding yourself in need of some combat training, we’ve added a brand new story that takes place entirely in Compubrah’s VR space. There, you’ll be able to train in the dojo of a deranged fratboy AI, and honestly, there can’t be a better place to learn how to throw a punch. You’ll find this story in the drop down on the main menu.

Other highlights of this update include directional sound, new models for Frank and Leah, and awesome new additions to the Custom Story Creator. If you’re a CSC user, you’ve got some incredible new tools at your disposal, so check them out!

Check out our full changelog below, but more than anything, get in there and play this update. We’re really proud of it and we hope you enjoy how House Party has grown.

Next update…oh yeah…I guess there were these two guys that won a contest to be in our game? Guess we’ll let them out of their cages now.

Thanks!

-Eek Team

In the Original Story: tweaked the behavior of Derek stepping in to stop Frank from beating up the Player, if the Player unlocked Derek’s “Combat Perk” during The Muse: Derek will not step in if the Player has initiated content which occupies Derek, and Derek will not stop Running at inopportune times due to his “Combat Perk” dialogue
In the Original Story: drinking the contents of the flask (after Rachael has filled it for you) now incurs the same benefits and repercussions as drinking any other alcohol

This (and the curtain Blockers) will prevent NPCs looking in through the densest portions of the bushes AND through the window blinds to be unable to see other Characters, but will leave gaps on the widest viewing angles into the living room. It will also allow creepers to more effectively hide in the bushes away from Characters at the fire pit, etc.
NPCs can now also see out the laundry room and art room windows if another Character is on the roof
Standardized all height checks in the codebase to 1.8 units

Made more small items “extra” visible if dropped outside in the grass
Added a new event, WarpItemTo, that will allow CSC users to warp items (not chairs, beds, etc., just regular interactive items) to a movetarget or character. This will not work cleanly with all interactive items due to certain object or prefab structures, and is therefore a work in progress
Added WarpItemTo subcommand for the Item console command
Added a couple more sound effects that can be used with the InvisAudioPlayer via ItemFunction
Re-added a sex spot to Compubrah VR bed that could cause issues when Characters tried to use it

Fixed a hardcoded typo in SearchEditor that could prevent “Anybody”-targeted searches from functioning correctly in the CSC
Fixed DisplayGameMessage events showing two “Delay” texts when configuring the event in the CSC
Started adding some “auto cleanup” functionality within the CSC that will clear out event data that is not needed by a given event. For example, DisplayGameMessages do not need an e.Key (event Key), and leaving it populated can lead to confusing search functionality and bloat, or even user errors when making heavy use of the CSC’s copy-paste feature
CSC users can now rearrange the order of Event Triggers within Character Stories
CSC users will now get specific Interaction and Use With information when CSC Search results are found within the Main Story file
CSC users will now be told when CSC Search results found within a Dialogue are tied to a Start Event, Close Event, or Response Event
The pink dildo now has a collision sound. TOP PATCH NOTE RIGHT HERE
Added collision sounds to a few more interactive items that matter way less than the dildo
Fixed the way certain console commands (WarpTo, WalkTo, LookAt, and more) interpret DialogueOnly characters like Compubrah and PhoneCall. These will now be ignored in commands or as parameters for subcommands that should not or cannot make use of them
Ashley’s Top, or as it is known colloquially, “Ashley’s Goddamn Motherfucking Upper-Shitpiece of a Left Mouse Gravity Well”, will no longer have its “Untie” option on the right, where “Talk” normally is for NPCs. Rejoice fam

In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could cause Ashley and Patrick’s inspect texts to break between the end of “Family Time” and the Player talking to Ashley
In the Original Story: Steph will not “see” knockouts/fights (this precipitates some of her “Follow Your Calling” content) if she cannot actually see anyone else, and she will not count various temporary NPC or Player knockouts (which are not combat related)
In the Original Story: Stephanie must also be conscious in order to “see” a knockout/fight
In the Original Story: fixed an issue with Ashley’s NoUntieYet value handling that could cause inspecting her top to generate redundant inspect texts, and possibly prevent her top from being untied ever again after certain events in her stories
In the Original Story: Frank will not overhear the Player admitting to Derek that he has feelings for him if Frank cannot see the Player
In the Original Story: added Jump Up/Down events into existing moments when a couple characters leave the party via the yard

In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could allow the Player to access Lety VR rewards without meeting the prerequisites, which could lead to a break in Lety’s VR behavior
In the Original Story: VR/Virtual Lety will no longer use non-VR Lety’s Orgasm events
In the Original Story: the Player will now un-expose themselves before returning to the party after Lety VR intimacy, if they managed to have all their clothes on but still keep their tasty bits out

TriggerBGCs that are initiated while an NPC is ALREADY knocked out will now play as long as that NPCs “pass out” sound effect is not currently playing
The Player character now has its own KnockBack Character Function(edited)
When using the Player : Inventory : Remove game event, the item that is removed/drops will now use the Continuous Dynamic collision detection mode, similar to other events on the backend like throwing, etc. This more aggressive collision detection mode should help some with certain items being kicked through floors, etc.
Refactored a number of items’ collision detection modes and code to prevent kinematic rigidbody and collision detection mode error spam and small number of standalone warnings
Added another Phone item to the game
The vibrator now has a very-relevant-and-not-at-all-made-at-home-with-things-the-developers-touch sound effect available
InteractiveItems can now have their Audio playback stopped via the StopAllAudio ItemFunction

In the Original Story: NPCs will not roam to Ashley or engage her in background chatter while she is naked in her room and waiting for the Player to wash her clothes. Ashley will also not socialize with NPCs until the Player decides whether he is a jerk or not
In the Original Story: Ashley will be slightly more adamant about trying to get back to her room while naked and waiting for her clothes
In the Original Story: tweaked some events around the time Stephanie, Katherine, and the Player are talking about Katherine’s stomach issues to better ensure Amy’s presence with the group

Added the “PhoneBlindedMe” reaction event for CSC users. This will trigger when a Phone Light is visibly on and a Character enters a roughly character-sized capsule that extends outward from the Phone Light

Characters will no longer be able to attempt to warp to themselves via the WarpTo console command
Important/TriggerBGC will now be shown even if an NPC is not within direct line of sight of the Player, or is a full floor above the Player
DialogueOnly Characters like PhoneCall and Compubrah can no longer be set to receive GetsHitByProjectile event triggers in the CSC
In the CSC, an Event Trigger can now call itself via a PerformEvent game event IF its Delay is greater than zero. Previously, this was restricted due to the possibility of recursively firing an infinite number of events with a delay of zero, which could freeze the game
Various accuracy and reliability improvements to the GetsHitByProjectile event functionality
In the Original Story: added a preventative check to ensure that Derek doesn’t permanently get his shirt back after he gives it to the Player during Amy’s “Scavenger Hunt” opportunity
