House Party 0.17.2 Released to Beta Testers

If you are a Patron or would like to learn how to become one, click here.

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 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: 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: 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: 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?

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: 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: 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: 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 in the Original Story that could cause Patrick and Lety to both “break” entirely/become unresponsive to the TALK action if Frank KO’d Patrick in the middle of certain Patrick/Lety dialogues that immediately preceded the failure of “Disrupt the Disruptor” and their intimacy scene

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”

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

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

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.
