Beta 0.21.0 is here, doods!

If you’ve kept an eye on our Early Access roadmap, you’ll know since Vickie’s content is fully complete, we’re now working on our December polish update before we add the female playable character to the game.

This update includes preliminary support for Valve’s Steam Deck that releases this coming February, so you guys can experience partying on the Deck as soon as it launches! It also adds a rough initial version of support for a variety of other controllers. XInput controllers (which includes Xbox), as well as the Logitech F301 and Playstation 4 (Dual Shock), have had recent development progress made in this update. We’re on our way to full controller support, doods!

Besides troubleshooting and laying the groundwork for the new controller input system, we spent our time this month going through and adding much-needed polish, performance optimizations, bug fixes, and quality of life updates. We want to make everything shiny before we add the new female character! 

We also added a New Game intro cutscene, cutscenes for Derek and Ashley’s finales and completed the Italian translation of Vickie’s ending. Enjoy partying in Italian and the new cutscenes!

We should probably also mention that this December update won’t follow our standard release cycle. The next update after this will be our polish update’s Stable Release. 

Get excited, brahs, because we’re super close to starting work on the female character!

Also… Happy New Year!

Boots on the ground, troopers! The long-awaited Vickie ending (House Party version 0.20.3) is here. Thanks for your patience as our team worked to put together and polish her steamy new content!

Unless you’ve been living deep inside your man-cave for the past couple of months, you already know that Vickie’s update brings sexalicious threesomes to the party. Complete Vickie’s Training and she’ll now give you the opportunity to convince another NPC to join you and her in a scorching hot ménage à trois.

Relationships matter when it comes to schmoozing your favorite partygoers, so be sure to get on good terms with NPCs before you try to flirt their pants off. Some sexaholics like your good ol’ brah Pat and Vickie-obsessed fanboy Frank won’t turn you down even if they hate your guts, but other NPCs (like lovable southern belle Brittney and domineering sexy genius Katherine) won’t even consider you if you haven’t been intimate with them. Most of the other partiers will reject a threesome offer unless you’re a charismatic god. If you work for it, though, you’ll be in for a spicy new array of intimacy rewards, animations, and cutscenes.

Vickie’s crotch-melting story content aside, we also listened to feedback from all of you awesome doods about how you’ve been hearing a lot of the same ambient NPC conversations around the house. We get it. We know you’re playing for a while chasing those achievements, so we freshened up the background chatter with a variety of clues about hidden items, NPC backstories, and endgame story content.

Not only that, but we heard your requests for more guidance around the party. We know with House Party being such an open sandbox game, it’s sometimes difficult to know how to perform certain actions or approach various in-game Opportunities. In previous updates, we added an awesome new Opportunity menu, but alongside Vickie’s finale we introduced a variety of in-game Tutorials to help, too. Opt into these by clicking the check box in the Main Menu or Title Screen UI. They’ll show up one time while playing, and you can reset them manually in the Main Menu. Here’s hoping this helps all of our brahs have an easier time exploring the party!

For those of you who follow our social media and testing update posts, you’re well aware that our team took longer than expected to release this update. Did we mention how amazing you dudes are for being so supportive and patient? Anyway, this was because we added a fuckton of polish to Vickie’s content and House Party overall. With each passing day, we’re getting closer to releasing the game from Early Access, and it’s important to us that we release a quality final version of House Party that our community is happy with. If you’re curious about every little thing we fixed and spruced up, check out the patch notes below.

Anyway, fuck reading! What you really want to do is go check out the threesomes, right? Enjoy, dudes, and be sure to let us know what you think about Vickie’s finale!

Do you have the balls to handle the new update? The fully complete Frank story is LIVE, dudes, and his 20 pound softball-sized crotch ornaments of pure muscle are the talk of the party! This is one of our largest updates (over 20% more content since the last major update) and we promise it’s all worth the junk-achingly long wait!

Around the party, you’ll hear new background chatter about Frank. Chat with him directly and you can choose to explore his story where feelings are shattered, naughty bits are revealed, and the party uncovers the true worth of a man’s meat-danglers. The update adds a bunch of gameplay, a major branching ending, and 5 Original Story Opportunities — one of which results in a much deeper bond with Frank.

Watch Derek shake his booty on the dance floor by challenging him to a dance-off! The man’s got serious moves, and you’ll need to find a creative solution to get past him to progress Frank’s story. Good thing there are helpful items and people at the party that can turn the tide in your favor!

All new voice acting for Frank’s update is complete and all missing VA from previous updates has been added!

There are two new ultra-secret items hidden around Madison’s place that can help you win Frank’s affection. And if you DO max out your Friendship with Frank…well, let’s just say he’ll be extra grateful to anyone who goes above and beyond!

BEEP, BOOP… Did we mention Compubrah can now scan Frank? Be sure to check out the wacky new gameplay, and enjoy the stat-boosting benefits!

We nerfed Frank and Leah’s alcohol detection so you can drink slightly closer to them, and if you finish Frank’s storyline and stay platonic BFFs, he and Leah will be more forgiving of booze-related transgressions. Or, if you drive Frank out of the party completely, ALL alcohol-related actions will be forgiven throughout the playthrough!

If you don’t beat up Frank at the end of Leah’s “evil” route for “Broken Code”, you’ll be rewarded for sparing him. Also, practicing your climax skills in Vickie’s “Training Day” Opportunity now earns bonuses to your intimacy recharge rate.

A new cutscene-style intimacy system is here, too! Frank, Katherine, Rachael, and Vickie now all have awesome, unique “finales.” We also added a static cutscene for the Master Bedroom for characters that can get intimate there. Don’t miss this sweet new theater-style content! And, no worries, if you guys prefer the original POV intimacy system, it’s still available via a toggle option in the Main Menu.

We also optimized performance and spruced up the gameplay graphics. These include bug fixes, cleaner aesthetics, improvements to the “missed” Opportunities UI, character model adjustments, and updates for the hot tub so it now looks AND sounds bubbly. Autosaves and the explicit DLC are reliably working again, too, and you can now manually increase your in-game FOV.

Our player community also got House Party fully translated into Turkish! French is all set, too, and we will update additional languages as soon as we can.

Overall, the party’s now fully equipped with an all-new wonderful, dramatic, hilarious, and disgusting experience. The full, unfiltered Frank experience. Enjoy, dudes.
