Check Out Our 2023 Development Roadmap!

The rest of this year is gonna be BIG for House Party, doods and lady-doods!

Since there’s so much coming soon to the party, we wanted to share our current development timeline with you, so you know exactly what’s on the way, and when!

Keep in mind this is an estimated timeline and some plans may change – especially as we begin working more on Office Party – but hopefully this will give you a good general idea of what we’re currently hoping to bring to the game next.

So, check out the roadmap above (and read more details below) to get a better idea on timelines for all the rad stuff that we hope to add to House Party throughout the rest of 2023!

House Party – Halloween Holiday Pack

Been waiting for the party to get spooky again?

The House Party – Halloween Holiday Pack will be the first of our seasonal holiday packs to release, and we should have it ready to play within the next few weeks! 👻

While it’s taken a bit longer than expected to completely rebuild the event and get the DLC toggle feature ready (you can read more about that here), everything is looking good for the Halloween vibes to return to the party very soon! 🎃

Also, thanks to your patience, we’ve been able to work on preparing the holiday packs without sacrificing development time on the other big and exciting things coming to House Party later this year! Awesome news and cheers to you, brahs!

House Party – Winter Holiday Pack

Following hot on the heels of the permanent return of the Halloween content will be the House Party – Winter Holiday Pack! 🎅Once we have the toggle feature done for Halloween, we should be able to get everything quickly situated for the next seasonal DLC – so, expect to see this pack ready sometime next month. When it releases, you’ll be able to get into the winter holiday spirit all year long! ⛄

Please keep in mind that neither of these holidays will have any additional content compared to what was in their original 2022 events, but we have plans to add plenty more to them in future updates!

House Party – Detective Liz Katz in a Gritty Kitty Murder Mystery

Now, here’s the big news: the awesome murder mystery DLC featuring the sexy, hilarious, and amazing cosplay heartthrob Liz Catz will be coming this Summer! But…when exactly? A lot of you’ve been asking, so here’s an update on the release window for the mysterious new expansion. 🕵️We are hoping to have the DLC ready for you to play as soon as late May or June this year! We’ll keep you all updated on the specific timing as we get closer to the release, and we’ll provide you with an official launch date as soon as we can. 🤘

In the meantime, we hope you’re stoked to solve this exciting whodunnit (and maybe get dirty along the way, too). If you want to get a preview of what’s coming ahead of time, you can always check out this blog to learn how to get access to early Alpha and Beta builds.

House Party – Base Game Feature Updates

Wait…there are new features coming to the original House Party experience? Say what?!While we haven’t shared too much about this yet, we’re planning to release some awesome new free feature updates for the base game – implementing some of the feedback we got from you brahs in our Future Of House Party Feedback Form! 🎉

This won’t be any sort of big new character, story, or content patch, but we think you’re going to love what we’re planning on adding. More details coming soon! 👀

House Party – New Content Pack

Around the end of the year, we also plan to release a sweet new DLC set entirely in the House Party universe! It’ll include a cool new side story (separate from the original story), two brand new characters to interact with (one female, one male), and a couple new clothing items! 🔥The theme of this DLC and much of the story inspiration will be drawn directly from your responses in the Future of House Party Feedback Form! We’re still in the conceptualization phase on this, so this means that we’ll announce what the winning clothing and story themes are for the DLC as soon as we can! 🍻

What’s even cooler is that this DLC will be enriched by the free House Party base game feature updates that we release just before the expansion drops. If you’ve been wanting more of that original House Party goodness, this one’s for you!

What about the future? And Office Party?

As shown in the timeline, the estimates for when some of these things will launch depends a lot on Office Party (House Party’s sequel).

While near-future releases are less likely to change, the stuff shown further out on our timeline could be shifted, delayed, or removed for the sake of working more on Office Party sooner. That’s why we avoided putting exact dates on the image itself.

Where are we at with developing Office Party? Right now, we’re still planning, concepting, and laying out the early framework for it in the background, though it will be a while before we share anything new. But Office Party is coming, brahs, and it’s gonna be awesome! 😱

And what about VR? Although we don’t have any new updates for you right now, we still plan to add it in the future! Anyway, that’s all for now, partiers. We hope you’re excited to see what the rest of 2023 has in store for House Party! 🙌

Winter & Halloween: Limited-Time Events vs. Permanent DLCs

We’re nearing the end of a long road of development with turning the 2022 Halloween and Winter limited-time events into permanent House Party seasonal DLCs!

 

Soon, we’ll share an official roadmap with the exciting news that both of our seasonal DLCs should (fingers crossed!) be releasing by the end of May to all players! These are free DLCs made to enrich the base game experience with holiday themes, so we hope you pick them up and enjoy the seasonal aesthetics!

 

We want to thank everybody for being so patient. These took longer than expected to get ready, but, thanks to moving a bit slower on getting them ready, we’ve actually been able to work on them these past few months without sacrificing too much time on our regular development schedule – which is awesome for those of you who are excited about the big things (like Liz Katz) coming soon to the party!

 

 

So, what took so long, anyway, Eek? Weren’t these events pretty much done already? 

 

To really answer this question, we have to look back at last year. We decided, right before Halloween, to drop a couple of fun things into the game with the intention that they would be removed after the event. They weren’t built to stay in the game long-term, both because of base game bloat and because there was no framework in place to actually support their existence.

 

When you doods loved the Halloween event, we decided to try to squeeze in some Winter content, too. Winter was even bigger, since we tried to fit in more of your feedback from the Holiday Feedback Form, and it also wasn’t built to be in the game long-term. Instead of just cosmetics, we added in a snowball throwing mechanic, voice line reactions for characters being hit by snowballs, new shirts, new headbands, falling snow, new decorations, an achievement, and an entire Frank side-quest.

 

And that was awesome! So awesome that a bunch of you wanted both the Halloween and Winter holiday content to be permanent, which we definitely weren’t prepared for. But we thought that was a great idea, and we really wanted to make that happen for everyone – but we wanted to make sure we were doing that the right way.

 

 

What IS the right way? And will these events look any different?

 

Both the Halloween and Winter permanent DLCs will look exactly like the seasonal events you remember from 2022, but they are actually very different on the inside.

 

We know this isn’t super exciting from a player standpoint, but we hope that you’re excited for the future: Since we built these events properly for permanent use as DLCs, we’ll be able to add more content to them easier, and it’ll bring you a better gameplay experience long-term!

 

House Party Stable Release 1.0.3 - Halloween Update

So, what’s been restructured, exactly? 

  • We made it so the event won’t bloat your base game if you don’t want it added!
  • We made it so you can toggle the DLC on and off if you don’t feel like seeing the Halloween (or Winter) aesthetic during a certain play session!
  • We made it so the content won’t cause any foreseeable major bugs/issues with the base game long-term by being added!
  • And, best of all, we future-proofed this baby! 🤘

 

 

What does “future-proofed” mean?

First, it means we made it so we can add extra content (cosmetics, decorations, side-quests, achievements, etc.) to the Halloween (or Winter) Holiday Pack as time permits!

They’re built to support more content updates, brahs! But, even better, it means we can add some exciting new features to the DLCs in the future.

 

 

While we don’t want to spoil everything, we’ve also started running an invisible framework beneath this DLC for something really exciting.

 

You shouldn’t see a difference, but it’s there. We’ll share more info on this soon!

 

In the meantime, remember, the permanent seasonal DLCs won’t “look” much different from the original limited time 2022 events (besides a toggle on/off DLC button)!

 

Still, we hope those of you who have been waiting for them to return again! Thanks a ton for your patience. You won’t have to wait much longer, partiers!

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.
