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

[mistacorn]

Hey everybody,

I was pointed here by someone who thought it would be a good idea to post about a new game I am developing to garner some interest and hopefully get some people testing it! I have been developing House Party for a few months now, and I am at the point where I am wanting to get it out there for some people to start testing it. The engine I'm building underneath it will help to rapidly develop more of these types of games down the line.

The game is similar to a lot of the browser-based games where your choices influence your success in the game, but it plays like a first-person RPG with interactive game models, characters, and physics. So far, there are only a few hours of gameplay, but the experience is rich. There are multiple story-paths and different outcomes based on your decisions. It is possible to solve all storylines (so far) with the correct choices, but making some decisions can sever off certain paths.

The game is built with Unity, and right now I'm only offering a Windows client version.

Anyway, hope there's some interest. Very much appreciate anybody willing to test, and feedback is most appreciated! Play instructions are on the link. It's free to download.

What you have so far looks pretty cool. Just wondering, what's the secret to getting rid of Frank? I tried setting him on the drunk guy in another room but he still sees you taking alcohol through the wall somehow.

Thanks!

Frank's actually pretty useful in order to achieve some other goals, so you shouldn't try to get rid of him to get your hands on some alcohol. A couple hints on other ways to get some. There's one person at the party who's already drunk. And try to find a way into the mysterious room. Let me know if you need more hints than that!

Actually, your two problems can be solved the same way. Have you found the mysterious key yet? If you can get inside the mysterious door, you will find the answer to both problems in there.

Haha. Here are some tips:

1. Don't kill the drunk guy too early. If you do, he won't be able to help you out with solving some other problems.
2. Search the bedroom really well to find the key.

Nice, i looking in the bedroom but im so blind hahah Thanks dude

I downloaded it and try to play and simple question. How I can fight? First scene and skinhead start fight with me. I not see in controls any punches. How I can win it? I got beaten and it is game over.

The game is not meant to be a fighting game. The goal is to figure out the puzzles. Frank is much bigger than you and can knock you out in one punch, so you'll have to find another way to get some booze other than fighting him for it.

I had some issues with the game. Finding the key was rather annoying and in the version I was playing, 0.4 or something, did not have Brittney. I checked all over the house and there was no key. Ashley wouldn't have any dialogue once I accepted her request to humiliate Madison.

Brittney is included in version .04. Once you have the key, use it on the mysterious door. I know about the Ashley bug. It will be fixed in the next version. Ashley's dialogue should continue once you humiliate Madison though.

Strange, I can't seem to find Brittney.

I read that you can find the key for the mysterious door on the table or desk near Brittney in the comments on your web page.

The key is actually in the bedroom near Patrick. Check on the shelving along the wall that has the door that leads to the bathroom.

Nifty stuff thus far!

The only real bugs I noticed, you seem to have already been told about - Stephanie glitching pretty often, and Brittney acting as though her quest line is complete when the "Bitch, this is a party!" line is selected.

I'd also note that Stephanie tends to clip through the front of her panties while dancing / passing out, a lot. The first time I saw this was when she glitched in a corner and was just sort of twitch-bouncing up and down, and I thought she just had on crotchless panties, lol. Not really a complaint, mind you!

Thanks! Yes, this is all stuff I've been addressing in the new build. I'm almost done restructuring a lot of the gameplay mechanics, and then I will be adding a little more content to the game, and will have a new version very soon.

Hey guys! I’m happy to announce that House Party has a new version! This new build is primarily a heavy revamp on the core engine containing enhancements to gameplay mechanics including the much talked about path-finding system. I’ve fixed a ton of core issues based on a lot of user feedback, and I’ve enhanced the way the game works and feels based on what you all have suggested. There isn’t a whole lot of new content in terms of storylines, but there is actually a lot more to do because of a new system that I implemented, and there is some new eye candy for those of you interested in that. Without further ado, here’s the change log:

Fixed an issue where Stephanie gets glitched.
Fixed some issues where dialogues were closing and never re-opening.
Heavily enhanced path-finding logic.
Added a new menu for interaction.
Sparkles! Added a sparkling particle effect around items you can interact with.
Changed “look around” to right mouse control to facilitate new menu.
Created inventory GUI.
Created easy access icons to game menu and inventory.
Added a new “Inspect” aspect to the game. You can now inspect many objects around the house.
Fixed a bug where Brittney follows you around everywhere.
Enhanced eye and head movement. Characters are now more engaging.
Enhanced combat code
Removed Unity splash screen (I’m pro baby!)

This is an exciting update because the game play is getting to the point where it’s very solid, and this leaves me a lot more time to work on the story! Save feature is still missing, but it’s coming soon.

Much improved, on the few bugs I found in the previous version! The addition of actual Katherine pics to the inventory was also amusing.

There was one weird bug where Madison tried to walk out of the living room by the straightest possible route, which made her walk over some furniture and then get stuck in the doorway - it looked like her head was up too high to allow her to walk through. I tried to push her through, to no avail. The bug sorted itself out once I walked past her and into the bedroom, and she came strolling on in.

Everything else seems to work fine!
