Hey guys!

The Beta release for Lety’s content is dropping TODAY! As always, our beta-access Patrons will be the first to dip their wicks into this new iteration of Lety’s feature-packed story. So let’s talk about it!

Lety’s new content started as a simple cameo-like appearance, but as much as we’ve enjoyed working directly with Lety herself to bring this story to life, this story just continued to grow. This story is now similar to the size of Stephanie’s update from a few months ago.

Lety’s not showing up to the party empty-handed–our newest member brings with her a whole bag full of new items that both play a part of her story, but will also add to the interactivity of every NPC at the party down the line. These items include throwables, a new type of alcohol, and…we don’t know how else to say this…a shit-talking novelty toy. It’s gonna get weird.

In addition to the new items, we’ve added new mechanics to House Party in this newest content update. In what we’re calling the “Eavesdrop” mechanic, players will be able to listen in on pivotal conversations that they can then influence through ways besides just talking. Some of these interactions will require the player to act fast to steer Lety safely through the booze-filled waters of her first party experience ever.

We’ve also doubled down on intimacy interactions for this content drop, quite literally.

While of course there’s some 1-on-1 intimacy action with Lety, there are also 2 different experiences where Lety and the player can find themselves in a threesome! Let me do the math here…2 threesomes with 2 different characters besides Lety…carry the 4…Fuck it–this is a lot of threesomeing. Both of these experiences are made to be a fun challenge, so don’t expect there to be a light-up sign that says “THREESOME THIS WAY!” Although, now we really want our artists to make that sign…It would probably be neon…

Currently, only half of the VAs have voiced the new lines for Lety’s update, so you may have to use your imagination until we get our final submissions from our lovely actors. This includes Lety’s dialogue as well. But, it’ll be added very soon!

We’re really looking forward to sharing Lety’s story with our beta-access Patrons, as always. Please let us know what you think of this new content via our forums or on Discord!

Hey House Partiers!

We’ve got another beta release for you. Great things have happened since our last release.

First, all of our VA is implemented, with the exception of Brittney. Lety herself has recorded over 200 lines for this story.

In addition to VA, we’ve got new animations and polish, polish, polish. Not of our knobs–like, getting rid of bugs and stuff. We’ll include a full changelog of what’s been enhanced since our first beta of 0.14.3.

Thanks as always for doing what you do. Peace!

The time has come…House Party 0.14.4 is HERE!

For those of you who haven’t heard, 0.14.4 is centered around LetyDoesStuff, who was the winner of our “Be in the Game” contest along with the Game Grumps. We worked really closely with Lety to tell an awesome, fully-fleshed story that adds a crap-load of new content.

Expect hundreds and hundreds of new dialogues split between 10 characters, several new interactive items, a UI redesign (that looks sharp as shit), and new animations–both in and out of the bedroom.

One other awesome addition to this update is that saves between versions of House Party will no longer be deleted, meaning you can load and continue your previous playthroughs. However, for the most stable experience, and to gain future Steam Achievements, a new save is still recommended.

And to that end… HUZZAH! Steam Achievements are working again! Rejoice, you completionist weirdos!

Seriously, we’re real damn proud of this new House Party chapter. For a full list of changes and additions, check out our changelog below. If you’ve got questions or feedback, you can find us at the usual spots–Discord[discord.gg], Official Forum[forum.eekllc.com], or Steam boards!

Alright, it’s Miller Time. Enjoy this new content drop while we take a breath. Then, party people, it’s right back to working on Leah’s upcoming story!

• In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could cause Patrick to walk away from the Gazebo area towards the end of “Patty’s Striking Resemblance” (“Cloud of Mystery” path) and engage in “antics” anywhere
• In the Original Story: much like how Patrick can overhear the Player telling Frank to beat him up and voice a line about being “betrayed”, Patrick can now also overhear the Player lying to Madison about him stealing things

We figured hump day was a good day to release our next Alpha for you lovely folks. We think you’re gonna like it. With Leah being the main focus of this story, there was no better time to introduce a mechanic we’ve been dying to add to House Party for a long time: PLAYER COMBAT.
Since the early days of HP, fists have been flying but never from the player. This Alpha is our first step towards building out the player’s combat abilities against other NPCs. This includes punching and blocking, meaning you’ll be able to finally go toe-to-toe with Frank!

Now, we’re not Skyrim, but we did introduce a strength system. Each partygoer has their own strength that determines how hard of a punch they can throw, and they also have other stats that factor in like speed and stamina. That means there are a couple of “Boss-tier” fighters in the house. We’ll…let you figure out who those people are. You probably have a good idea.

Keep in mind, you’re not Mike Tyson. Don’t expect to come in swinging and dominate the house. You’ll need to practice fighting to take down even the lower strength NPCs. Shit, maybe we are Skyrim…

You can toggle “Combat Mode” by pressing the space bar.

This Alpha lays the foundation of Leah’s epic story. You’ll only get a taste of the new story content to come, but it should get you excited for Leah’s journey ahead. We had a lot of fun with this one.

All items related to this story have been implemented, so you should see some pretty neat additions around the house. There are several very unique things to find, so a little exploration could do you some good. *Ahem* Ashley’s room *Ahem*

Lastly, you may notice from these screenshots that we’re implementing different visual filters. These have a reason to exist in Leah’s story (not yet explored in this Alpha) but they also add a very cool aesthetic to HP.

We’re really pleased with how Leah’s story is growing and we’ve got much more to show you in a few week’s time. Enjoy these new features in the meantime!
