First Murder Mystery Alpha Dropping For Patrons Today + New Teaser!

 

The “Look What The Cat Dragged In” House Party – Murder Mystery Expansion Pack Alpha will be dropping today for Alpha Tier Patrons – sharing a quick first glance at House Party’s next guest DLC!

 

So, if you’re not in the Alpha Tester (or higher) tier, why not, dood? You can subscribe and support us to enjoy a ~5 minute playable sneak peek of the next guest’s new story when it drops later today!

 

You’ll “officially” learn the identity of the guest before anyone else. You’ll get to welcome her into the party, see her character model (as well as that sweet outfit we showed off in our Discord Art Stream) inside the game, and mingle with her!

 

As we mentioned, this isn’t a huge playable build, as we’re still very early in development, and we’ll be releasing this DLC on Patreon in small chunks (possibly on a quest-by-quest basis) as we work through developing it – in hopes of making it available to you ASAP and getting your feedback implemented early in the dev process. We hope you’re hyped to see it as we work on it!

 

Want to try the new alpha? Join our Patreon and be sure you’re in the “Alpha Tester” tier or higher to come play!

 

Plus, as a Patron, you’ll be able to access the brand new post from this morning with early information on whether or not Console Commands will be available with the next guest.

 

 

Curious what you’ll see in the sneak peek alpha while you’re waiting for it to drop? Here’s a little teaser:

 

 

Let us know what you think’s going on here, doods! Seems like things are starting to get a little… Well, a little whatever the hell that is in the video above. Seriously, who wired the lights?

 

Eh, it was probably some jerry-rigged home-brew wiring job Patrick did, right? Nothing to get worried about.

 

Anyway, that unexpected new guest outside looks hot as hell! Are you going to let her inside?

 

Wishlist the House Party – Murder Mystery Expansion Pack on Steam or GOG now!

 

 

Also, to help us stay in touch with what the House Party community wants for the future of the game, we have another survey for you doods!

 

The Holiday Feedback Form you brahs filled out for us a few months back was so helpful to us that we want to do opinion surveys more often so we can stay better in-tune with what you want for the game – especially when our dev team has specific questions we’re wondering about to help us make the game better for you!

 

We built House Party on player feedback, and that’s how it became the game it is today, so it’s important to us to stay in touch with what the community wants for the game – especially as House Party’s player base continues to grow!

 

The type of player who enjoys House Party has expanded. Some players ask for more male romanceable NPCs, while others don’t want more males. Some community members say they love the Doja Cat DLC, while we’ve heard from many more who just want more NSFW 18+ content. Some commenters want more celebrities in the game, and others want more House Party characters. And some want us to prioritize Office Party, while others want us to keep supporting House Party with fresh content.

 

We want to make a game that as many of you love as possible. Whether that means adding more characters of different genders, NSFW 18+ guests, or DLCs based around non-guest characters, we want to hear from you! So, we put together a quick feedback form to help us see what we should focus on!

 

Fill out our Future of House Party Survey here to share your opinions with us and help make House Party a better game for as many players as possible!

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.

Our free House Party – Halloween Holiday Pack is available for wishlisting now!

 

The House Party – Halloween Holiday Pack, our first ever seasonal DLC, is available for wishlisting now (and completely free for all players)! Click here!

 

Thanks again to everyone who loved House Party’s limited-time event and asked for it to become permanent! We were blown away by how much love you doods had for the seasonal update we added, and we’re happy to officially say that House Party’s spooky season will be returning permanently!

 

As promised, we will also be adding a toggle on/off feature for the holiday content, so you’ll be able to turn off the Halloween event in-game without having to uninstall or redownload your DLC! Our team is working hard on finalizing this feature and it’s looking like we should move into internal private beta testing for it in early 2023!

 

This feature should make it super convenient for all of you to manage your seasonal DLC in a straightforward visual selection screen within the Main Menu of the game, so we hope you’ll really like it!

 

What’s in the House Party – Halloween Holiday Pack?

 

Spooky seasonal decorations, like:

🎃 Pumpkins

👻 Spooky Ghosts

☠ A Cheap Skeleton

🕸 Lots Of Spiderwebs

🕷 One Giant Furry Spider

😱 And Many More To Come!

 

There’s also a chilling succubus/incubus outfit wearable by all “Halloween-minded” characters with the following accessory pieces:

😈 Scary Horns

🦇 Creepy Bat Wings

😉 And A Sexy, Spiky Tail!

 

 

We might even have a special surprise for you, too…

 

So be sure to add the DLC to your wishlist, doods, and get ready to enjoy petrifying decorations and sinister costumes all year at the House Party!

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!

CHANGE LOG:

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.
