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

[EekGames]

Hey guys!
0.7.4 has been underway since Monday, and we have a lot of cool new updates coming to the game. This sprint is focused on story updates mostly, but there are also a lot of cool "under the hood" developments packed in.

The release date for 0.7.4 Alpha will be 10/19/17, and we will probably follow that up with one more Alpha release before going to Beta. Thanks again so much for your support, and we are striving to keep up this pace of bringing 3 to 4 updates per month to our subscribers!

Here is the change log so far for 0.7.3 to 0.7.4:

Added "Training Day" quest
Updated Vickie's story
Updated Derek's story
Updated Amy's story
Updated Frank's story
Added a new sexual interaction
Upgraded to Unity 2017
Huge path-finding update
Combat system updates and new animations
Fixed an issue where characters won't get redressed upon exiting the hot tub after loading from a saved game
Updated story creator to support non-western language characters (Chinese, etc...)
Added the ability for Rachael to overhear you conspiring with Katherine
Fixed a number of issues in Ashley's story
Added a Derek hint about the red/blue flower situation
Fixed a bunch of typos
Updated UI to automatically scale with screen resolution
Removed UI scale slider
Added a scroll feature to the dialogue responses when there are a lot of options
Adjusted the Steam censor so it doesn't censor the entire screen (just the naughty bits!)

Wish I could play it.

Wish I could play it.

Why can't you?

[dannub]

Not really interested in paying $15 for it.

[EekGames]

Hey guys,
Sorry about the delay. When we started testing the standalone build, the UI was doing wonky things. We've got most of it ironed out, but you still might see a few UI issues. We'll be fixing them over the next week.

This update contains a big update to Vickie's story. It is still not 100% complete, but we will have it completed by next release. There are also a lot of optimizations and bug fixes, and the game is running very smoothly. Pathfinding in particular is greatly improved.

The next release will be an Alpha build on 10/26 and will mainly be focused on the completion of Vickie's story. We will then release a Beta on 11/2 that will be aimed at implementing voice acting and polish on the new build.

We have also upgraded to Unity 2017, so we are wanting to hear back from OSX users to see if it alleviates the issues you were having.

Wait do i have to pay to play this game?

[EekGames]

Hey guys! I can't say too much now... but we have a very unique, fun story update in the works that I think you will all enjoy immensely! It may involve the most shy character in House Party

[EekGames]

Hey guys! Here's House Party 0.7.6 Beta! This update is mostly focused around bug fixes and polish, but there are a lot of interesting developments being introduced as well.
First off, you may notice the house is arranged and painted differently. We're preparing the game for our next story based around having a date night with Brittney, but we realized as we got into it that the house *looks* like people are having a party in it, what with alcohol, solo cups, and beer pong set up, etc...

We fixed this by redesigning the house to have more of a standard look, and we will be re-introducing the "party" elements down the line via story updates, so the custom stories will now have more of a say of how the house looks and is decorated.

This paves the way for us to begin writing new stories that will be available along-side the Original Story.



CHANGE LOG:

Added voice acting Lines for new dialogues
Improved lighting
Re-painted the house
Added a neighborhood and trees
Rearranged a lot of items to pave the way for new stories
Player can now only drink alcohol that is already in his inventory
Fixed a bug that allowed the player to ask Ashley to hand over her dirty clothes while at unintended locations
Fixed a bug that caused characters to spin with enthusiastic anger when they forget how to use a door
Improved/smoothed continuous dialogue interactions with Brittney
Fixed some issues with NPCs not getting re-dressed after coming out of the hot tub
Fixed an issue where you could escape Frank's wrath by sicking him on Patrick (Sorry)
Fixed an issue where Madison could incorrectly catch you stealing her diary when she's too far away
Fixed an issue where events in "Derek Smash" can happen before you get the quest
The kitchen slider can now be opened from inside as well as outside
Fixed duplicate thought bubble on the Raymond line in Madison's dialogue
Fixed an issue preventing the completion of one of Madison's quest-lines
Fixed an issue with completing the "Express Yourself" quest when some characters are in various states
Fixed an issue where the text would re-size on the Load Game dialogue
Bolted down a lot of items that could get lost or move somewhere that hinders the story
Removed Beer Pong Table and other "Party" elements so they can be re-introduced down the line as directed by the story

House Party 0.7.7 Info and Roadmap







Hey guys! Here are some updates about what's going on with us, and what to expect in the near future!
0.7.7 Release Info:

The new build is looking good. We fixed the issues that were breaking the older quests thanks to the bug reports we got in, and we're looking good for possibly an early release. Originally we anticipated releasing on 11/9/17, but it's looking like we'll have a new build out by late tomorrow or early Wednesday.

Translations:

With 0.7.7 we are finalizing a new way to translate the game into other languages. We are including a Mandarin Chinese translation packaged with the core game, and this will be the first of many languages that will start being available. Translations can be added to over time, so that any elements that are not translated yet, will just display in English in the game. The translations work as a mod, and are placed in the Mods folder. Translation export templates can be generated with the new Custom Story Creator.

New Content Coming Soon:

As many of you are aware, we hired a new writer on board, which means twice as much content twice as fast! I (Bobby) will continue writing the Original Story, and right now, we have the new writer working on a new alternate Story which will be a "Date Night With Brittney" (Working Title) story. Expect more of these alternate stories very soon, and also expect the new writer to get more involved with aspects of the Original Story.

Exciting stuff on the horizon!

I would give up a testicle(though not necessarily one of my own) to be able to just plain...Kick. Frank's. Ass.

Hell, i'll write it myself if yer still hiring.

Haha, I hear you! We actually have a writer on board now but thank you for the inquiry!

I do have good news about Frank though... We just did a new public update today in which you can get Patrick and Derek to team up and beat Frank up! Then you can take alcohol and actually get drunk now!

[EekGames]

Hey there party people! 0.7.7 is now public! This update is bringing a ton of new features, new quests, and the ability to get drunk! You will notice a ton of aesthetic updates as well including the house layout, lighting improvements, and a neighborhood background. 0.7.7 also brings an update to the story creator that supports non-western characters, and a translation template that allows for easy translation of House Party into any language. We used this template to bring you an official Chinese translation of the game that is also available now.

Thanks to you all for your continued support and love for House Party!

Please enjoy this update, and stay tuned for future developments!

Haha yeah you got to take what you can get for now The ability to fight personally may be implemented in the future. Right now we are working a new story for Brittney so that is another thing to look forward to!

We are feeling a little festive so our lead dev is cooking up a little holiday decorations for House Party

0.8.1 Has been released to Alpha Testers

Hey guys,
So here's the deal with 0.8.1. We ran into a lot of technical issues this build. We are doing a lot of work with the lighting, and we ran into a snag that ended up taking up a good chunk of time, which is also why the build got delayed. On the positive side of this, the lights in this build look really stunning. On the negative side, we weren't able to finish Amy's story.

We did add another scavenger list item to Amy's quest, but we are writing a split ending, and we didn't want to half-ass it. We are going to call it for this sprint and start working on the beta in which we will clean everything up and polish it, and then we will start a new Alpha sprint to finish up with Amy's story, much like we did with Vicky.

That being said, you may not have discovered all of the content Amy has to offer. Did you know there are two different ways to complete two different scavenger hunt items?

Date Night With Brittney gets a major overhaul this release as well, and we have reworked a lot of the dialogues so that when the voice actors get ahold of the lines, they feel like the Original Story characters. We also fixed up a bunch of issues with the DNWB story, and you shouldn't run into anymore dead ends.

Next release will be a Beta release, and is scheduled for 12/14/17. It will include bug fixes, polish, new animations, new models, and voice acting.



CHANGE LOG:

Updated "Date Night With Brittney" Story
Reworked "Date Night With Brittney" to change Brittney and Patrick's personality to more reflect the Original Story
Updated Amy's "Original Story" Story
Updated Lighting
Added Light Probes for Transitional Lighting
Added Christmas decorations
Fixed an issue where the Game Menu wouldn't come up after a fade-out
Reworked the mouse movement, resulting in a smoother experience
Reworked some v-sync issues that were causing some NPCs to not move during sex scenes
Fixed an issue where characters would no longer look at you when talking after a game reload
Fixed an issue where the Merlot could be drank from outside the player's inventory
Fixed issues with OSX crashing, freezing, and stuttering
Fixed an issue where girls would put their bathing suits on to get in the hot tub even if they were already bottomless

[EekGames]

Hey guys!
Here's House Party 0.8.2 Beta with a long list of updates! Major updates to the look and feel of the game, and a lot of polish coming your way in this build!

We regret to inform that we are not going to be releasing Date Night With Brittney with this build, so it will be unavailable this time around in Beta. We are re-working and revamping the story, getting translations done, and commissioning voice acting still, and it's just really in no shape yet to open it up for Beta testing, so Date Night will stay in Alpha for now with plans to include it in next month's Beta and Public releases.

That being said, for those of you Beta testers just getting your hands on the 0.8.x series, there are a lot of new Amy updates, and maybe Brittney will get involved in some of the hi-jinks! Everything is now voice acted, and we fixed a LOT of bugs and added a lot of polish. Next week will be public release, and early next month we are looking to have the new Alpha version of Date Night With Brittney, as well as the continuation of Amy's story!
