House Party Beta 0.4.0.0 (Updated 2/17/17)

I found Madison's diary, but I can't give it to Ashley. Anybody a idea what I make wrong? I already gave her the towel and she sends me to search for the diary.

The storyline ends there. I am still working on adding gameplay content into the beta version. Right now I am heavily focused on gameplay since the engine is working rather well, so next month's build will have a lot more to do, and I am committed at this point to adding at least one scene or element of erotica into each build going forward.

Edit: How did you manage to find the diary? That might be a bug because you aren't actually even supposed to be able to get it yet.

You can open the safe with your hand instead of the command.

Ha! Definitely a bug. Nice catch. Thanks. You'll need to get the combination to open the safe. I'll probably have that portion finished by next release.

Hey guys!

Here’s a video getting into detail on some of the upcoming engine updates to the new version of House Party! The new version will be released on or around October 15th and will be available to $25+ supporters only, and all previous versions will trickle down to the next tier. From now until the 15th, I will be adding in a bunch more story for you guys in conjunction with the engine updates you already see here! For those of you who stick it out to the end of the video, I uncover an Easter egg in the game!

Hey guys,

Just wanted to let you all know that the October release of House Party is officially here! Lots of new changes in this version, and it is running very stable. This is a milestone release because I’m feeling like the engine is running very smoothly, and I can focus a lot of my time next month on details instead of painstaking under the hood stuff that you guys don’t see. Of course, I’m sure a lot of you notice the better AI, interaction, movement, and gameplay as a result of the engine work, but I know you guys are getting anxious to get more game play out of me, and we’ve gotten to the point where each new build should have a decent amount more, starting with this one!

Check out the development blog for more information about this release and the other releases that have become available:

The biggest feature of this new version is the Questing system, which you will be able to use to keep track of which objectives you’ve completed and not completed each play through. For an official list of playable content/quests in the game, go here:

This will help you keep track as to whether or not you’ve unlocked all available content. This list will be updated with each release.

Hey guys! The new version of the reworked House Party beta 0.3.1.0 is now publicly available. The new build is mostly a reworked character engine, house and models, but it has a decent amount of new content to play through and it is very different from the older versions. You can check it out here:

Enjoy!

Hey guys,

So there’s a strange issue going around with the public build where characters are getting stuck in place, and it is making it impossible to play the game. As I result, I decided to release 0.3.3.0 to the public. Supporters are still getting an even newer build in a few days with more story.

Here's a link to the details and download links:

I'm probably missing something, but how do you get alcohol for Steph in 0.3.3.0? I thought to have Frank beat up Patrick to get the wine he's been drinking, but it gives the same message as downstairs about Frank would notice.

[kvier]

If that puzzle is the same as in the original versions, you have to persuade Patrick to give you some liquor, not take advantage of Frank's distraction.

The alcohol is hidden in the house. There is one bottle you are able to grab that's off of Frank's radar. Search around upstairs and remember you can open doors and closets. Let me know if you need more help than that.

Actually, the rewrite is very different from the original. Because I created an atmosphere where the characters walk around freely, and also just because I wanted to get more creative with some of the lame "bring this from point a to point b" quests, I am re-writing a lot of the story, but keeping some familiar elements.

I must be blind. I searched everywhere for the aspirin... unless it isn't implemented yet...

The aspirin is in the upstairs bathroom (the one connected to the master bedroom). You can't do much with it yet except befriend Patrick, but it is available to find. Any quests that are not able to be completed are marked with a "Not Implemented" tag.

Hey guys!

For any of you that were having performance issues with 0.3.3.0, I've released 0.3.3.1 today that should ease up on the system quite a bit and make for much smoother game-play. You can find more information and the downloads here:

Okay... any hints to unlocking Madison's phone?

Okay... any hints to unlocking Madison's phone?

Instead of giving it back to her, try giving it to the person most likely to help you break into it. Let me know if you need more hints.

Hey guys,

Here's another build of House Party for those of you that were having issues running the game or were experiencing sluggishness. Also, a lot of you that have been running the game can probably get away with now running it on higher quality settings. I've spent the last few days completely optimizing the game from top to bottom, and I've been able to increase performance by a lot. Details are on the link. Enjoy!
