House Party 1.0.3 Stable Release – Halloween Update

House Party Stable Release 1.0.3 - Halloween Update

 

Warning: There are spooky elements and creepy critters in this limited-time mini-update. If that makes the party too scary, read the instructions at the end of this post on how to not play the event and enjoy the original version of the game.

 

Happy Halloween, partiers! 

 

The house looks a little different this Halloween, and so do some of your fellow partygoers!

 

Madison’s decked the place out with a few chilling decorations, and some of the more Halloween-minded guests have put on a sinister special accessory to celebrate. Be sure to fully explore the party, as you’ll encounter spine-chilling seasonal decor and a petrifying new limited-time cosmetic item!

 

This mini-update comes as a free temporary patch that’s available to all Steam players. The eerie visuals will revert back to normal approximately two weeks after Halloween, so enjoy them while you can!

 

Not in a Halloween mood? Are the new decorations too harrowing? To swap back to the regular base version of the game, go to the Properties for House Party in Steam, select “Betas”, and then choose either the “1.0.3” or “testing” beta branches to play the regular version! Feel free to do this at any time to get rid of the spooky seasonal appearance!

 

Note: At this time, the seasonal accessory and household decorations will be visible in all custom stories. To revert to the normal world aesthetics, please swap to the “1.0.3” or “testing” beta branches which host the regular version of the game.

The House Party – Doja Cat Expansion Pack is Now Available!

Play Now House Party Doja Cat

Play the Doja Cat Expansion Pack now!

The real-life AMA and Grammy award-winning global superstar shakes up the original party, and Shit. Just. Got. Real. 

You now have an invitation to help the renowned pop artist get into the party and uncover the secret identity of Dinolicious, a costumed online dancing sensation that Doja Cat wants to feature in her upcoming music video. But don’t say we didn’t warn you: making a music video with this band of drunk or disorderly partygoers won’t be easy. You’ll need to make the right choices and be resourceful to help it go viral.

You can watch her react to events around the party, overhear fresh new background conversations from your favorite NPCs, and maybe even spark a bit of romance with Doja Cat herself.  And you just know Frank has something to say about this new guest, too. Hmm … wonder how that will turn out?

 

This DLC also showcases three of Doja Cat’s hit songs by tying them into the gameplay and integrating them into the story.  Other highlights include:

  • Hours of content, scenes, and stories featuring Doja Cat

  • Multiple endings and side quests

  • Two stunning “Amala” and “Doja Cat” NPC models

  • Hundreds of lines of new dialogues voiced by Doja Cat herself

  • Interactions with the Original Story and base game NPCs

 

All of your favorite partiers are still at the party. And now Doja Cat is there.  But the party can’t start without you!  So let’s gooooo!!!

Get the House Party – Doja Cat Expansion Pack here!

Doja Cat joins the House Party on September 30th, 2022!

 

The real-life Grammy and American Music Award-winning star arrives at the House Party in style!

 

She brings an amazingly realistic in-game character and wild new gameplay to the Original Story! Explore a hysterical new branching adventure in your favorite comedy game and help Doja Cat create her next music video – for better or for worse!

 

 

There’s a major celebrity joining the House Party! We’ve teamed up with the hit pop star Doja Cat to deliver a wild all-new side-story to the party that’s packed with unforgettable adventure, comedy, and mystery!

In the DLC, you will be able to navigate through an unpredictable night filled with outrageous partygoers as they help Doja Cat carry out a master plan to track down a mysterious masked dancing sensation who is taking the online world by storm.

You can interact with Doja Cat in several ways. Get her to the party. Befriend her. Maybe even flirt and fall in love!

 

 

If you’ve ever wanted to party with Doja Cat, this is your chance! Not only is her character as close to her real-life appearance as we could make it, all of her lines are voice acted by Doja Cat herself (and even ad-libbed for extra personality).

You’ll also be able to see her in-game wearing three outfits that were hand-selected by Doja herself; a casual black dress, awesome music video performance attire, and a steamy hot tub bikini.

 

 

Throughout her story, Doja will react to the craziness that ensues during the party, showcase custom dances and performances, and create her next music video with your assistance – and how it turns out depends entirely on your in-game choices!

 

Mark the date on your calendar and get excited:

The Doja Cat House Party Expansion Pack is planned to release this September 30th, 2022!

House Party 1.0.1 Stable Release

After-Party Bug Fixes & Performance Updates Arrive In House Party Stable Release 1.0.1!

The exciting post-release after-party is here, doods and lady-doods!

 

If you’ve been watching our updates lately, you know that the Doja Cat DLC is coming along awesomely, and we’re still working super hard on improving the base game, too! Also, we’re proud to announce that House Party’s Stable Release 1.0.1 is available to all players now!

 

What’s in this fancy new release? Well, before House Party left Early Access, we added some of the biggest graphical improvements that the party had seen thus far, and we also added some pretty graphically intense cutscenes. In this update, we worked hard to account for these graphical upgrades by adding a ton of optimization improvements!

 

We have also significantly reduced the memory that House Party uses, increased the frame rate of the game, improved frame drop and game lag issues in the yard (which were reported by multiple partiers), and fixed several crashing and stability problems. The game should be a much smoother and consistent experience for everyone going forward!

 

Thanks to these changes, House Party also runs smoother on the Steam Deck! You should find that the game now plays great on Ultra settings.

 

Of course, a handful of bug fixes and other changes to existing content were added in this update, too! It should be much harder for characters to accidentally fall outside the game world (total party foul right?), new translation components were added to the “hard coded” English text so translators can make more progress on localization, and we improved some sight check/culling check settings.

 

You can also now grab more items around the house, and keen-eyed players might spot a few mysterious, spoilery items hanging out and about in the game world!

 

Want to see a full list of the changes? Read our patch notes below.
