Hey partiers,

Since we last checked in, we've fixed a few more Version 1.0 bugs (suggested by our community), and we've been working in the background on various game and memory management tweaks so we can keep the party going smoothly all night long!



Alongside the female story bug fixes, we’re also going all-out on making the Doja Cat DLC! Don’t forget to wishlist it, and keep an eye out for teasers that will be hitting our social media in the near future!

And that’s not the only exciting teaser we have for you all. Now that House Party is officially out of Early Access, we've had the chance to shift a bit of our focus to working on Office Party (House Party's sequel).

Here's a quick sneak peek of a rad, much-requested feature that is still in very early development for our next title:



The image above shows some of the options you can choose for your character’s eyes in Office Party. We also plan to add even more body and facial customization, including other body adjustments (you know the ones, *wink*) that are not dependent on a binary male or female gender decision.



The Polish language translation for House Party Version 1.0 is now available, as well! We’re still refining it a bit, but you should be able to enjoy the female playthrough just fine!

Waiting for a different language to be added? We have a couple more translations coming in the next few weeks, and you can always check with our Discord team for more exact updates on when specific languages will be ready!

(For extra readability, please select the “Montserrat” font in your Gameplay Settings! If the option isn’t showing up, try Verifying your Local File Integrity.)



Did you also know House Party is playable on the Steam Deck? Check out the YouTube video above showing it running at best settings!

We recommend running House Party on low graphic settings on the Steam Deck for now. But we will have an update out shortly that will improve performance on higher graphic settings!

Hey everyone! The Polish translation is now available!

Please restart your game client to download it. If you use Steam, Epic, etc. and run into any additional problems, try verifying your game files.

We will continue making improvements and additions to the translation over time.

For Polish in particular, we suggest using the "Montserrat" font in the Gameplay Settings for best viewing.

Work still continues on the other translations, and we hope to have them finished soon.

Enjoy, and thanks for your support!

Thanks for playing the hell out of the 1.0 update since it went live, doods!

Since our exit from Early Access, we've gotten a lot of great feedback. We've been listening and working hard to address some bugs you've brought to our attention. The game experience is gonna be even shinier thanks to your reports! Keep them coming!



For those of you wondering about the Doja Cat DLC, we're working on that, too! We'll have some exciting teasers to share with everyone between now and the Fall release, and we're having an absolute blast putting this amazing DLC together so far!

Hey everybody! The Italian language update for 1.0.0 is now available!

Please restart your game client to obtain it. And if you run into any issues, try re-validating your installation files. If any issues persist, as always, leave us a bug report in our forums.

Work still continues on the other translations, and again, we believe all translations should be complete within the next few weeks.

Thanks for your patience and support!

Hello everyone. Our first language update for House Party 1.0.0 is ready!

The French localization has already been pushed as a Steam update, and is also updated on our servers so that French-speaking users across all storefronts/platforms can enjoy it.

If you run into any issues with the update, simply try validating your local game files. If any issues persist, as always, leave us a bug report in our forums.

Work continues on the other translations, and as with the French version, we will push them out to you as soon as they are ready. We believe they will be ready in a few weeks.

Sorry for the delay and any inconvenience, and thank you for your continued understanding.

The female player has been live since last weekend and House Party's officially out of Early Access! Our team has been blown away by your support. Over the past few days, the game's been a Top 30 Global seller, has over 10,000 total (Very Positive) reviews, still has over 1,000 active players, and got featured all over the place!

We just want to say thank you so much to all of the partiers who supported our game early on and welcome to all of the new guests joining the party! You guys made this all possible.



Now that the female story has been out for almost a week, we want to know how you’re exploring it!

Have you figured out a new way to get friendly with Derek yet?

Have you overheard any female-specific background conversations around the party?

How many of you gave Brittney the shirt right away? How many of you didn't?

When you gave Brittney different clothes to change into, did you give her privacy?

How have you been playing the female story so far? And who are you romancing?



With all of the new content we’ve added lately, we know there’s a ton of stuff to get acquainted with - especially for new or returning players! If you’re confused about what to do next, be sure to check out House Party’s unofficial Steam walkthroughs for some tips and tricks (located in the Guides section): https://steamcommunity.com/app/611790/guides/

After five years of development, our passion project is finally released! This is an incredible milestone. Thanks so much, everyone, for your support throughout all of these years. We never would have come this far without your bug testing, translations, and feedback! We’re so excited for you to play the game we always want to make for you.

Just because we are coming out of Early Access though doesn’t mean we are going to stop working on the game. We feel the game is ready enough to no longer be considered Early Access, but translation updates will continue to be rolled out over the next week or two, and there will still be more polish, cutscenes, and Easter Eggs in the pipeline.

And we hope you’re as excited as we are for the future ahead!

House Party Version 1.0 is here! Join us in welcoming the female player to the party!

While most of her story will feel familiar, the female protagonist has some story variations of her own: you'll be invited to the party by a different bestie, partygoers will react differently to you, you'll hear new background conversations, there will be some new ways to bond with familiar partygoers, and brand new romance scenes for the female player!

Thanks for your patience, everyone! Adding her was a huge undertaking and we really appreciate your patience and help playtesting the first look. Have fun checking out the new content, enjoy partying as a female, and don’t forget to dive back into the game and (re)discover all the content we’ve added and guests we’ve invited through the years!

Check out all of the new changes here: https://housepartygame.com/release-notes/

Note: Language translations won’t be available on launch day, but you can chill with us on our Discord to find out when they’ll be ready: https://discord.com/invite/eekgames



It's officially time for us to start working full force on the Doja Cat DLC! Are you guys freaking stoked to party with her? It won’t be long until we can share some sneak peeks of Doja Cat gameplay, with Doja’s character fully voiced by Doja herself and some of her biggest songs added to the house playlist! Don't forget to wishlist it:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1648810/House_Party__Doja_Cat_Expansion_Pack/

Follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for the latest brah-some game updates and announcements. Be sure to join our after party on Discord too!

Hell yeah! Next week, House Party leaves Early Access! We're getting the female player's story all prepped for Version 1.0 to go live, and here's a peek at the changes we've been working on:

- We reworked The Muse (storyline for Madison and Derek), the Sibling Warfare (storyline for Ashley), and Vickie’s endurance test to better fit the female player.
- We added a new sleeping mask item… Can you figure out what it’s for?
- Not only can you now bond with Derek, but we made it so the female player can now ask him for help and advice on a variety of topics. He’s not your long-time buddy anymore, but he’s still happy to help you find your way around the party!
- We added and adjusted LOADS of dialogue and responses for a bunch of characters to smooth out gameplay for the female player across the entire Original Story. The characters most affected by these changes are Brittney, Derek, Madison, Rachael, and Vickie, but almost every character has something new for you to discover!!
- We updated almost all of the romance scenes in the game to work with the female player, including dialogue and context, and redesigned much of the hookup logic to provide a more fulfilling experience for her. We plan on polishing the romance scenes even further and will add new cutscenes in our first update after the Doja Cat DLC launches!
- We made it so the female player can now ask Brittney to move to another location, provided that the player has done something to help her out first. Are you a good enough friend to help Brittney mingle?
- We updated poses so male poses in the Original Story are now replaced by female poses whenever appropriate.
...and much more!

These changes aren't live yet, but we're excited to bring them live in our upcoming update when we officially leave Early Access next week. We hope you’ll have fun exploring the new content when it drops!

We hope you doods and doodettes had an awesome 4th of July this year chilling at concerts, gatherings, and BBQs. Hopefully, you remembered to set off a few extra fireworks this year to celebrate House Party leaving Early Access soon, too!

With House Party almost out of Early Access, don't forget that we'll be prepping the Doja Cat DLC to share with everyone. Can you believe it's almost time to party with Doja? Add the DLC to your wishlist now so you know as soon as it goes live this fall:

Did you miss Ava's “Let’s NOT Play” stream last night?

Well, dood, it was awesome, and you missed out big time! But that's actually okay, because it's all recorded, so you can still check out the saved version on her Twitch!

So kick back, crack open a cold one, and get ready to laugh as Ava reacts to playing House Party off-screen during this chill and funny play session: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1525622475

Two More Weeks Until House Party Exits Early Access! Here’s An Update On Our Progress And Goals For The Female Player's Story:

While the male and female will have similar stories, the female player will have some unique content compared to the male. Here's how it will be different:

- She will have a brand new reason for being invited to the party. Derek won’t be the one who invited her...so, who do you think it will be?
- Since she won’t have the same brahmance with Derek as the male character, she’ll have a different way to bond with your favorite OG buddy!
- NPCs will greet and react to her differently.
- There will be different background chatter to overhear around the party.
- There will be a new story item (and it may look familiar)!
- There will be new female-specific Objectives to complete.
- We will be fixing a ton of player-reported bugs.
- She will have romance storylines much like that of the male character, and we will be adding new female player romance content both before and after we leave Early Access for you to enjoy! We are also planning other post-release updates that will include more bug fixes, polish, and content!

Please keep in mind that these changes are NOT live yet, but they are a preview of what is coming soon! We're working hard to get it ready as soon as possible, and we can't wait to share all of the new female content with everyone!



Edit: Ava's House Party stream got postponed due to travel issues, but keep an eye on the House Party socials and Ava's Twitter for the rescheduled time!

Twitch Sensation Ava Is Streaming A House Party “Let’s NOT Play” from 6pm CST tomorrow *event start time to be updated on her socials @ AvaGG in the evening.*

She’s one of the most popular, carefree, and lovable female gamers on Twitch, and her main loves in life are beer and video games. If you think she sounds like the perfect streamer to explore the party, you're right!

It’s a “Let’s NOT Play” cause, you know… we’re still banned on Twitch. Ava will NOT be playing House Party on Twitch. Well, she’ll be playing it, but she won’t be showing it. You get the picture. Or maybe you won’t, cause you won’t see what she’s doing, but she’ll be playing off-screen, reacting, and talking about House Party coming out of Early Access and the upcoming Doja Cat DLC.

Crack open your Natty Lites and settle in for an awesome time! She’s hyped to play House Party for all of you, so don’t miss it, dudes!
