The Free House Party – Halloween Holiday Pack Is Out Now!

​Halloween is back, partiers!

Enjoy chilling at a decked-out house party filled with spine-chilling ambience, sinister costumes, and much more in this petrifying autumn party pack!

Here by popular demand, the House Party – Halloween Holiday Pack is a permanent version of the limited-time 2022 seasonal Halloween update.

This DLC brings pumpkins, spooky ghosts, a skeleton, tons of spider webs, and one giant furry spider back to decorate Madison’s house in creepy fall vibes!

It also dresses all of the NPCs at the party in a chilling succubus costume – including startling horns, creepy bat wings, and a sexy, spiky tail!

Thanks for your patience as we worked to get this ready, doods!

We know it’s taken a while, but we hadn’t originally planned for the 2022 limited-time event to become permanent. It was a spur-of-the-moment idea fueled by season-induced passion, and it really wasn’t built to be in the game year-round.

However, after seeing so many of you ask for it to stay around, our team worked alongside our already-planned development schedule to completely rebuild the Halloween and Winter events so they’d be suitable to be in House Party permanently.

This full restructuring includes:

  • Making it so the DLCs are optional and won’t bloat the base game if you never plan to play or install them
  • Allowing you to toggle the DLC on and off if you don’t feel like enjoying the Halloween aesthetic during a specific play session
  • Ensuring merging the content with House Party wouldn’t cause any major bugs or issues with the short or long-term health of the base game
  • And, best of all, future-proofing the DLC so we can add more exciting content in additional updates! 🤘

While the Halloween Holiday Pack will visually look the same as the event did in 2022 (so, no, don’t expect to see any “new” playable content or cosmetics yet), it’s undergone complete restructuring and there are major framework changes under the surface. And these changes will allow us to properly add extra content (cosmetics, decorations, side-quests, achievements, etc.) to the Halloween Holiday Pack in the future as time permits!

Also implemented into this framework beneath the holiday pack are the roots of a very exciting new feature that we plan to bring for free to all players in the future. We won’t spoil exactly what this is yet, but we’ll just say it’s something MANY of you requested in the latest survey we released!

So, get excited, doods and lady-doods, because what’s coming is gonna be amazing – and we can’t wait to share more details as we get further along in development.

And, if you’re still waiting for the snowy season to return, don’t worry! The House Party – Winter Holiday Pack will be ready to play very soon, too!

But, in the meantime, what are you waiting for? Come enjoy the haunted house party!

Update 1.0.9 is live with Quality of Life changes and Custom Story Creator improvements!

 

Create custom House Party stories easier with “CharacterGroups”, enjoy a new Spanish translation, and check out the new in-game teasers!

 

House Party Version 1.0.9 is out now! If you like getting creative with House Party, you’ll love the Custom Story Creator changes we made, doods and lady-doods.

 

Have you ever dreamed of making a party where everyone gets turned on as soon as you take off your shirt? Or where the whole party gangs up on Patrick? Or where all the guests meet up in the living room for a sweet no-pants-allowed dance party?

 

Yeah. You can do all that and much more way, way easier now, because we added an awesome new feature called “CharacterGroup” behaviors. These let you work faster and more effectively to create more complex stories than ever before. 

 

 

How does it work? You can now create targeted groups of Characters and use GameEvent, Criteria, Event Trigger, and/or CriteriaGroup behaviors on them selectively or en masse. Not all GameEvents and Criteria are available for use with this system, but this should be super cool nonetheless!

 

If you’ve worked with the Custom Story Creator before, you already know how difficult it was to send mass instructions to characters – but you no longer have to send one-on-one instructions to them. This is huge, dudes!

 

Character groups should allow there to be more varied custom stories made by both new and experienced creators alike. We’re stoked to see how you guys use this sweet new story-crafting superpower.

 

 

Several previous issues regarding past updates breaking custom stories have also been fixed, so your current stories should work as intended again! We’ve made significant optimizations that will notably reduce the UI “lag” experienced when manipulating many CSC elements, dropdowns, text fields, and so on, too.

 

(Note: The new optimizations required minor changes to the CSC UI. Some functionalities like sorting/arranging elements are now controlled strictly through user-interactable elements like arrows, the copy/paste functions, and insert/remove.)

 

 

Update 1.0.9 also irons out some bugs (some of which were not just minor annoyances), adds some story and engine improvements, and includes a fresh new Spanish translation!

 

We’ve continued making progress on the user interface and functionality for selecting a holiday DLC pack, too. We still have more mechanics to work on before we can tie DLCs into the engine and bundle the Winter and Halloween holidays into individual downloadable packs, but we’re making good progress!

 

Plus, we added those two new objects around the party that will be used in our next guest expansion pack! If you want a sneak peek at what’s to come, explore the house and let us know what you think the new fixtures will be used for!

 

Have fun playing, party brahs! We can’t wait to see your custom stories.

 

P.S. Want an example of the fun and silly stories you can create with House Party’s Custom Story Creator? Check out this quick video taken from Peter980’s “Fiery Date” story! To learn more about the story or hang out for our House Party dev streams, join our Discord!

House Party Stable Release 1.0.7 – Winter Holiday Update

Happy Holidays, partiers!
 
This winter, there are plenty of exciting new decorations around the house party! You’ll find pine garlands, hanging lights, glowing candy canes, star-shaped lights, ornaments, a snowman, and snowflake window decals all around Madison’s house.
 
The partygoers are dressed with holiday spirit, too; several of House Party’s characters are wearing Santa hats, elf hats, and even a festive sweater! 
 
In this cheery update, it will be snowing lightly outside, you’ll be able to throw snowballs at other party guests, and Frank will be getting into the spirit of the holidays in a short new themed side-quest! It’s a little bigger than our Halloween update was, so we hope you enjoy it!
The winter update is live now…so what are you waiting for? Go play it, partiers! Deck the balls, doods!

House Party Stable Release 1.0.6 – POV Intimacy & UI Improvements

House Party Stable Release 1.0.6 is ready to play – and it’s packed with smoking hot new POV intimacy updates!

 

We’ve wanted to deliver an update focused on expanding the Explicit Add-On for a while now, so we’re hyped to share this with everyone and hope you’re stoked to explore the sweet stuff we added in this update!

 

So, what did we add? Check it out, doods:

 

  • Spicier Female Player Intimacy: The POV intimacy system will better correspond with the female player story. You can now access POV intimacy for the female content!

 

  • POV Intimacy Will Be More Gender-Accurate: Now female-female intimacy will prefer to use more gender accurate pairing acts – like scissoring (yeah, that’s new!) rather than male-female or male-male acts.

 

  • New Female-Centric POV Intimacy Poses: Scissoring, fingering, and female-centric sixty-nine 

 

  • A Newly-Implemented Frank Cutscene: We added a cutscene that was only available through console commands to the gameplay. Enjoy a blowjob featuring the male protagonist and your favorite booze-hating bald dude!

 

  • Top & Bottom M/M Position Swapping: During POV sex between the male player and male NPCs, you can now also swap between top and bottom positions!

 

  • A New Main User Interface Sound Scheme: As you move and click around the menus in House Party, there are satisfying new sound effects that show when you’re hovering over and clicking on things.

 

  • Extra Polish For Custom Story Cosmetic Issues: Certain stories that made use of held drinks, or custom Character names, should see fewer immersion breaks. Additional small emotive, sound, and cosmetic issues for POV intimacy have also been remedied, too (check our patch notes)!

 

  • Bug Fixes: Vickie’s “Training Day”, Compubrah-VR bugs, and several UI issues have now been fixed!

 

Enjoy the steamy new explicit update, brahs. Have fun playing it again. And again. And again. Please have mercy on your keyboards, though, and be sure to clean your hands after checking out the new content.

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.
