Hey guys!

 

House Party is officially on Steam!  You can check it out here:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/611790/House_Party/

 

Here are some frequently asked questions about the Steam Release:

 

Q.  Is the Steam version censored in any way?

A.  The game is not altered in any way on Steam, so it's fully uncensored, with the optional censor setting in the game menu for streamers.

 

Q.  Is the version on Steam the full latest version?

A.  Yes, as of right now, the version on Steam is the latest version of the game.

 

Q.  What if I am already supporting you on Patreon?

A.  Our Patreon supporters will still have the earliest access to the game.  Of course it's not in our best interest to put untested versions directly to Steam, so just like before, Alpha tester tiers will get the latest version of the game first, followed by Beta testers, and then once the game is deemed stable, it will then be released to Steam, so supporter benefits remain the same.

 

Q.  Will you still release free versions?

A.  Yes, but not as frequently.  The Steam versions will take priority, and stable releases will go there.  I will periodically release a free version here and there to server as a demo, but it will be much less frequent.

 

Check out the Steam page for more information, and thank you all for your support over the last year and a half.  It's what got us this far!

[Eek! Games]

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!)

What happened to the outdated (relatively) free version ?

[Bobster6]

Now that this is a fully "for profit" game, I don't expect there to be any more free versions.

[kaneda9999]

Guys how to unlock penis animations?!

[Bobster6]

Hit the P key to pull out your penis, and put it away. With Penis exposed, hit the 1 key to jerk off.

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 ti alleviates the issues that you were having.

 

 

CHANGE LOG:

• Added “Training Day” quest
• Added “Derek Smash!” quest
• Updated Vickie’s story

• Added language translation support for dialogues
• Added a new sexual interaction
• Player can now drink alcohol and get drunk

Hey Eek, do you have an estimation of when the game will be complete, at least content wise?     Would the shift to beta denote that?

 

I played the game way back at version .5something, and loved it.   I decided then that I would buy it, and be glad to support your efforts.  But I'm not a fan of playing games that feel unfinished, so I've been holding off until it (the content part) is pretty much complete.

 

What are your thoughts on that?

 

and gratz on getting it on steam!

Steam has a 40% discount on House Party at the moment. Don't know how long it will last.

Are you planning on adding any other playable character options any time soon?

Playing a pre-op or non-op transwoman trying to hook up with straight guys or lesbians would make for an interesting challenge. Exposure could immediately change some of the options available, opening some up with more adventurous souls but closing off opportunities with anyone not willing to experiment without getting to know the player character better.

I would check out the newest version of the game (which you automatically get if have bought that game or on our patreon) it is very smooth, better graphics, better animations, new characters, new quests, and voice acting. As for when it will be finished... we feel very strongly that there is much more we can and want to do with the game so for the time being we are continuously doing big fixes, writing new stories, improving the mechanics, and adding new features. 

Thanks for the gratz

I like that idea! We are working pretty intensely on new stories, voice acting, and improvements to our animations/graphics now but when we start looking into our next new characters that may be a contender!

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

Hey guys! House Party Alpha 0.8.0 has been released to Alpha testers. Here is a change log so you all can see whats coming in a couple weeks! Don’t let the short change log fool you. There is a LOT of new content in this build!

First off, the first part of Amy’s story is now included in the game. We will be doing another Alpha sprint next week to finish up her story, but there’s a good chunk included here already.

On top of that, there’s an entirely new story-line called “Date Night With Brittney”. You’ll need to back out to the main menu to play this story, and select it from the drop-down as if it were a custom story. DNWB starts you off as just arriving to Brittney’s house on your first date. The story can play out to 5 different endings depending on your choices throughout the night! This story is also an “official” Eek! story, so it will be completely voice-acted for the beta sprint.

There has also been a lot of performance tweaking in this build, so anybody having issues with input lag last build, we are hoping things will be better for you.

0.8.0 (Alpha 11/23/17)

• Added “Scavenger Hunt” quest
• Updated Amy’s “Original Story” story
• Added “Date Night With Brittney” story
• Updated Vickie’s model
• Updated Stephanie’s model
• Updated Ashley’s model
• Added a mechanism where characters can now catch you stealing
• Fixed an issue with input lag
• You can now turn your head up to 120 degrees while sitting and during sex acts
• Bringing up the Game Menu now pauses the game
• Added bushes to the back yard
• Game now comes bundled with latest story in case it can’t reach the server for updates
• Various performance tweaks

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

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!
