Thanks again for the awesome feedback on our first seasonal event! Our team is working hard to get the Halloween content wrapped into a free DLC for everyone and to add an easy-access toggle feature to the main menu.

It’ll take us a bit to get it ready, but we'll create a Steam DLC Store Page ahead of time so you can wishlist it and add it to your library as soon as it's available!

After our last announcement, we got a few questions about other seasonal events, too, and let's just say we may be also working on something special for the upcoming winter holiday.



Wondering how House Party's overall development is going? Our next release (the saucy POV one we talked about in our last Steam News Post) just left alpha and entered beta testing, so we expect to have a stable release ready for everyone around the beginning of December!

We added a couple of extras to the upcoming update since we last chatted about it, too. If you enjoy POV intimacy but think the NPC's facial expressions look a bit "off" in certain poses, we're working on that! Select poses will be getting improvements to make the characters look more expressive and attentive at the moment.

For those of you who make Custom Stories for House Party (or are interested in trying to make them), we're improving stuff for you, as well! After the next stable update releases, it'll be a bit easier to create your own custom party experience!



While we have a moment, we'll answer a couple of other quick questions we saw floating around the comment section! Yes, we’re still slowly working on Office Party in the background, but you probably won’t start seeing too much initial development news on it until sometime next year at the soonest.

More info on our next guest is also coming soon, and their exciting DLC will take us back to the edgy roots House Party is known for! We’re stoked to work alongside a partner who has played (and loves) House Party and wants to explore making adult content with us. Get hyped, doods: Our next DLC will be packed with some of our wildest explicit scenes yet!



And just because we're doing these awesome guest partnerships doesn't mean we aren't keeping in mind possibilities for Original Story Expansion Packs in the future, too! We've got some really fun player suggestions so far about different areas of the original partier backstories we could explore further in the future.

Is there anything you'd like to see? Let us know!

P.S. Need something fun to do this weekend? Come hang out with Lety (LetyDoesStuff) this Saturday at 9 PM EST for some chill gaming on our Discord!

Hope you doods enjoyed the Halloween update!

So far, we’ve heard that partiers on social media liked the holiday decor slightly more than the costumes, but we want to know what our brahs on Steam think, too!

Comment below and let us know if you liked the seasonal house decorations or the outfits more, so we know what we should be focusing on when designing future events!



Didn’t make it to the Halloween party this year? -No worries, it'll be back!

Read more about when you'll see it again in our Steam post from last week here!



In the meantime, check out these awesome community content images from our Discord member Lounger, The Creator! They colored Vickie and Patrick’s skin red and gave them awesome succubus and incubus looks. How saucy!



With the event wrapping up, you may be asking: What awesome new stuff is coming to the party in the near future?

Right now, we're working on a smoking hot new update for our Explicit Content DLC!

In this awesome upcoming build, POV (non-cutscene “legacy”) love scenes will fit the female player story better - like scissoring (yeah, that’s new!) or fingering, as well as female-centric sixty-nine POV intimacy poses. You will also be able to swap between dominant and submissive positions during male-male love scenes.



There’s also going to be a brand new cutscene featuring the male protagonist and the buff straightedge party-crasher we all love to hate. It’ll take place in the backyard and have someone kneeling. If you know, you know.

This update will also address some bugs in the base game, too. For example, you’ll no longer encounter some UI issues with Vickie's "Training Day", and Compubrah’s VR Frank and Katherine combat.

Keep in mind that none of this is live quite yet, but we wanted to give you a sneak peek at what's coming soon! Get excited, doods and lady-doods...the party's gonna get HOT!

Hello everyone! We are pleased to announce that the Chinese translation is now fully updated.

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

For best viewing of the Chinese translation, we suggest using the "Montserrat" font in the Gameplay Settings.

As for other languages, everyone associated with our localization efforts are working very hard, and we hope to have more languages updated in time. However, we do not currently have an estimate on when additional translations will be completed or added.

Been enjoying the Halloween Party, brahs? We’re stoked so many of you have checked it out and enjoyed the seasonal decorations and costumes!

We’ve been hearing that many of you like the event so much that you’d love to be able to keep using the Halloween assets even though the spooky season will be over soon. So, we plan to add the ability for players to toggle them on or off from the main menu. Although we can’t give an exact date on when this will be added to the game, this is definitely something we are working on implementing - stay tuned for more updates!

The Halloween event was a spur-of-the-moment decision for us, but we felt it was content worth sharing with all you doods! Supporting seasonal content has been something we’ve always wanted to do, but our focus on getting House Party out of Early Access kept us from being able to. Now that the game’s released, we have a ton of additional awesome content that we want to bring as free updates for everyone going forward!

While we’re definitely down to do more seasonal events, these won’t happen every holiday, since we don’t want to slow down development on full-fledged DLCs and Office Party. However, we’ll try our best to add them whenever we can.

We’ll also be looking into allowing you access to events once they’re over! One potential idea we’re heavily considering is creating a free seasonal DLC for our holiday event, like a Halloween DLC, and updating it with new content every Halloween!

This will allow players who want to skip the seasonal content to do so, while still giving them the option to download it at a later time! Those who have the free Halloween DLC in their libraries will be able to toggle the event content on and off in the House Party main menu at their leisure!

We hope this sounds exciting to everyone! Since the event has been so popular, we’ll keep it rolling for another week. After that, the Halloween content will briefly go away (for now), but, don’t worry, you’ll see the content again in the future once we implement the toggle feature and create the DLC!

If you’re curious how our development progress is coming along on the base game, we’re making good headway on the quality of life update we mentioned in our previous Steam roadmap post.

None of this is live quite yet, but the upcoming update will include some UI updates for the base game, and, if you have the Explicit Content Add-On installed, you’ll be able to access POV legacy intimacy for the female content and the new intimacy sequences and poses that are arriving very soon!

Thanks again for chilling with us this Halloween! We hope you had a spooky time and are excited for our next update!

Warning: There are spooky elements and creepy critters in this limited-time mini-update. If that makes the party too scary, read the instructions at the end of this post on how to not play the event and enjoy the original version of the game.

Happy Halloween, partiers!

The house looks a little different this Halloween, and so do some of your fellow partygoers!

Madison's decked the place out with a few chilling decorations, and some of the more Halloween-minded guests have put on a sinister special accessory to celebrate. Be sure to fully explore the party, as you’ll encounter spine-chilling seasonal decor and a petrifying new limited-time cosmetic item!



This mini-update comes as a free temporary patch that’s available to all Steam players. The eerie visuals will revert back to normal on November 11th, so enjoy them while you can!

Not in a Halloween mood? Are the new decorations too harrowing? To swap back to the regular base version of the game, go to the Properties for House Party in Steam, select "Betas", and then choose either the "1.0.3" or "testing" beta branches to play the regular version! Feel free to do this at any time to get rid of the spooky seasonal appearance!

Note: At this time, the seasonal accessory and household decorations will be visible in all custom stories. To revert to the normal world aesthetics, please swap to the "1.0.3" or "testing" beta branches which host the regular version of the game.

How’s it going, partiers? Cheers to everyone who saw last week’s teaser and already guessed the identity of House Party’s next mystery guest. We figured anyone who saw the picture who was already familiar with them would recognize who it was almost instantly - that tattoo is iconic!

We’re excited to share more details on this awesome guest soon, and we’ll also drop an updated roadmap with tentative release dates in the future! But, in the meantime, here’s some info to keep everyone in the loop about what’s next for House Party.



House Party’s Next Mystery Guest DLC

Since we’ve officially solidified our partnership with House Party’s next mystery guest, we’ll be moving forward with planning their storyline very soon. There’s a bunch of work to be done, but our mystery guest is stoked to join House Party, and we couldn’t be more excited to start working with them to create their DLC!

Quality of Life Updates

When House Party released from Early Access, we promised more base game quality-of-life updates, and we don’t plan on stopping anytime soon! Our team is constantly working on fixing bugs, fine-tuning gameplay, and optimizing your party experience - and we appreciate everyone who has helped us so far by reporting bugs on our Discord server!

But, what’s more exciting is that, in addition to tweaking the overall game, we plan on doing some small continuity updates down the road for the female player character which will add new minor content and story changes so the female playthrough experience will feel even smoother!

Specifically, in our next quality-of-life update (which we're working on right now), we have some UI tweaks and POV legacy intimacy system updates on the way. Explicit content owners will now be able to access POV legacy intimacy for the new female content and new sequences and poses will be coming soon!

PlayStation

If you follow us on social media, you’ve probably seen that we’ve been looking into porting House Party to PlayStation. We’re glad to announce that those plans are finally solidifying, and we’ll be taking some more concrete steps to bring the party to console!

A few of you have also asked about the availability of explicit, adult-only intimacy content on the console version, and we want to be as transparent as possible about this. While we always try our best to push the boundaries of content as much as we can with our game, we do need to take care to adjust our content to align with what is allowed on specific platforms.

Virtual Reality

Who hasn’t fantasized about playing House Party in VR? We are hard at work bringing the party into virtual reality (we wonder if Rachael will know), and just recently took some big initial steps to make this possible. There’s a lot of work involved with this process, but we can’t wait to share more updates on the VR version of House Party soon!

House Party’s Sequel: Office Party

We haven’t forgotten about House Party’s sequel game, Office Party, either! Alongside everything else keeping our dev team crazy busy, we're also slowly planning, conceptualizing, and laying out the framework for our next game. We can’t wait to share more with everyone!

House Party Clothing DLCs

Last but definitely not least, we haven’t forgotten about all of the community requests we’ve gotten asking for us to add ways for players to customize the appearances of the base game NPCs. We’ve had a number of people asking if we can create different optional Clothing DLCs for the OG House Party characters, and the answer is yeah, brahs, we’d love to do that!

If you have any ideas for outfits you’d like to see in House Party, we’d really appreciate your feedback. Comment below and let us know!

Hey everyone, just released an update to 1.0.3 that addresses the following:

• Fixed an issue that was preventing save games from being loaded or deleted within the Load Game UI if using a non-English language
  
• When saves are deleted, ToolTipData will be updated to reflect the removal of the corresponding save data to prevent bloating of the ToolTipData over time

Sorry for any inconvenience, and we'll be on the lookout for more feedback. Cheers!

Hey everyone! Fresh on the heels of the French translation that came out with 1.0.3, we are pleased to announce that the Italian and Russian translations are now fully updated. We are also getting close to finishing the Chinese translation; it should be done within roughly one week.

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

We will continue making improvements and additions to the translations over time. For best viewing of the Russian and Chinese translations, we suggest using the "Montserrat" font in the Gameplay Settings.

As for the other languages, we know that the delay, and seeing other languages completed first, can be frustrating. Everyone associated with our localization efforts is working very hard, and we hope to have more languages completed in the coming weeks.

Unfortunately, the Turkish translation has hit a snag. It was a community-translated project, and recently very little progress has been made. We do not currently have an ETA on its completion. If you are fluent in Turkish and would like to contribute, please come on over to our Discord and let us know! https://discord.gg/K5hfSQXE

Hey everybody, we've got a small update for the base game, the Doja Cat DLC, and the addition of an updated French translation for the Original Story and Doja Cat DLC. Oh, and there's a teensy new thing to find and unlock. ... Rawr?

The bugs that were fixed included some big ones that uh...someone...should totally get a spanking for letting through. One such example: being unable to progress with the Doja DLC content once Katherine needed to get involved. We also addressed some minor things like some silly ol' nails and other pesky items being left behind after the party at Madison's in A Vickie Vixen Valentine. A similar fix was added to prevent said items from somehow mysteriously migrating over to Brittney's house in Date Night with Brittney.

Other fixes include addressing an issue that would cause Amala to be unintentionally censored at times, even though she was clearly wearing a beautiful, leafy ensemble, as well as inconsistencies with the new "meet everybody!" Opportunities that were recently introduced. Finally, on top of all this we added a slew of general stability improvements, increased the amount of cloud saves you could store via Steam, and added a few QOL tweaks. Check out the full release notes for all the details.

And one more thing! For those of you still waiting on localization of the Doja Cat DLC for your language, we're working on them. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

As always thanks for your ongoing support, and we'll have some even juicier morsels for you in the coming weeks.

The House Party - Doja Cat Expansion Pack is out now, and we're super thankful to everyone who has played the DLC and left us feedback!

It’s a blast bringing new, real-world personalities and audiences to our game, and working with the Game Grumps, LetyDoesStuff, and Doja Cat have all been incredible experiences. We've been asked by players for more crossovers, and these partnerships bring great value to our studio, which in turn gives us the resources to bring to life much of what you, our fans and customers, ask for.

We see the feedback from players who have felt that the lack of explicit content in the Doja Cat DLC and our communication surrounding it was disappointing. We hear you. We know that this type of feedback is coming from people who care deeply about our game and our content, and we appreciate your feedback. We’ll make it a priority to remedy this going forward.

We have a growing, diverse player base, some of which enjoy the game without ever purchasing the explicit content DLC. Previously added guests like the Game Grumps focused on the comedy and wild antics of the game without adding nudity or explicit content. This type of content adds to the fun of the House Party experience. Our intent with the character of Doja Cat was to add both comedy and sexiness to the party with her unique charisma and talents to complement new stories while also introducing fresh gameplay.

This does not mean we don’t have more explicit content coming down the pipeline!

In fact, now is a good time to share some exciting news! We've been keeping this under wraps while we focused on the Doja Cat DLC, but we’re excited to share what we’ve been planning for our next House Party Expansion Pack!

We're beginning work on our next DLC which will bring another real-life guest to the party. But this special someone is not only open to a wild party experience but also very excited to work together with us to create some steamy explicit content for their expansion pack!



Do you have any guesses who it might be? We'll share more details soon…

In the meantime, thank you to all the House Party fans! We love all of you! Keep on partying!
