We hope you all had a great day of love, lust, and lovelies - and spent some quality time cuddled up with the party guest of your choice enjoying a hilarious and adventure-filled night of lusty romance and total debauchery.
Although We’ve temporarily paused our holIday events, we have plenty of future plans, and we think Valentine’s Day would be an awesome fit for the House Party. Comment below if you have any sweet or Juicy ideas you think we should add if we do Valentine’s-themed content in the future!
And let uS know: Who was your House Party Valentine this year?
Don’t forget: If you haven’t played the “A VicKie Vixen Valentine” side-story yet, this weekend is an awesome time to cozy up with your favorite House Party adult star, too!
Also, our next guest will be bringing a trunk full of exciting items to the party when she arrives this Summer!
Note: This is early promo/teaser footage and does not fully reflect how the item will appear in-game - especially once it’s packed full of items!
For now, we’ve pulled the spoiler items out, so we don’t give away too much of the upcoming story, but we’d still love to hear your guesses about what you think our special guest might be toting into Madison’s place!
So, tell us, doods and lady-doods. What do you think will be inside?
P.S. Want to help choose an outfit for House Party’s next guest to wear in their expansion pack? Learn how.
P.P.S. See another hidden code anywhere, partiers?
House Party Version 1.0.9 is out now! If you like getting creative with House Party, you'll love the Custom Story Creator changes we made, doods and lady-doods.
Have you ever dreamed of making a party where everyone gets turned on as soon as you take off your shirt? Or where the whole party gangs up on Patrick? Or where all the guests meet up in the living room for a sweet no-pants-allowed dance party?
Yeah. Us too! That’s why we made it way, way easier to create those kinds of stories and much more with an awesome new feature called "CharacterGroup" behaviors. These let you work faster and more effectively to create more complex stories than ever before.
How does it work? You can now create targeted groups of Characters and use GameEvent, Criteria, Event Trigger, and/or CriteriaGroup behaviors on them selectively or en masse. Not all GameEvents and Criteria are available for use with this system, but this should be super cool nonetheless!
If you've worked with the Custom Story Creator before, you’ll understand the relief and creative potential now that you no longer have to send one-on-one instructions to them. This is huge, dudes!
Character groups should allow there to be more varied custom stories made by both new and experienced creators alike. We're stoked to see how you guys use this sweet new story-crafting superpower.
Several previous issues regarding past updates breaking custom stories have also been fixed, so your current stories should work as intended again! We've made significant optimizations that will notably reduce the UI "lag" experienced when manipulating many CSC elements, dropdowns, text fields, and so on, too.
(Note: The new optimizations required minor changes to the CSC UI. Some functionalities like sorting/arranging elements are now controlled strictly through user-interactable elements like arrows, the copy/paste functions, and insert/remove.)
Update 1.0.9 also irons out some bugs (some of which were not just minor annoyances), adds some story and engine improvements, and includes a fresh new Spanish translation!
We've continued making progress on the user interface and functionality for selecting a holiday DLC pack, too. We still have more mechanics to work on before we can tie DLCs into the engine and bundle the Winter and Halloween holidays into individual downloadable packs, but we're making good progress!
Plus, we added those two new objects around the party that will be used in our next guest expansion pack! If you want a sneak peek at what’s to come, explore the house and let us know what you think the new fixtures will be used for!
Have fun playing, party brahs! We can't wait to see your custom stories.
P.S. Want an example of the fun and silly stories you can create with House Party’s Custom Story Creator? Check out this quick video taken from Peter980’s “Fiery Date” story! To learn more about the story or hang out for our House Party dev streams, join our Discord!
A new quality of life House PArty update will be dropping soon, doods! We're making good progress on some not-so-minor requested bug fixes as well as working on some major Custom Story improvements we hope you'll love!
But there's some neat little bonus easter eggs in the next update, too. While you ruN around Madison's place during your typical night of shenanigans and debauchery, you’ll notice two new objects in the game.
Take a peek at one of them below. Wondering about the other one? Well, you'll have to find it yourselves…
Note: This is early teaser footage and does not fully reflect how the item appears in-game. Anyway, it looks like there might be some electrical issues in the next guest DLC, right? What do you think's going on here?
This new item will be put to use in the upcoming guest DLC arriving this Summer 2023.
We see many of you asking who the next guest will be. We're not trying to keep any secrets (check out those leg tattoos!), but our special guest wants to introduce herself to you personally with a custom costume.
She's working on it noW, so we hope you're stoked for the official announcement and title reveal in March!
In the meantime, don't forget to wishlist the free Halloween and Winter Holiday Packs!
The packs will allow you to enjoy the Halloween and Winter seasonal events whenever you want year-round. We're still working on getting the toggle on/off feature ready, making some tweaks, and packaging everything into organized dLCs. They’ll both be ready within the next few months (ETA of Q1 2023 for Halloween and Q2 2023 for Winter)!
We know these holiday packs are coming out at kind of odd times of the year now. We didn't expect to prep them for perManency and add the toggle feature, but we hope you're still glad we listened to your requests to toggle the content and for the limited-time events to come back permanently!
P.S. Hold onto those codes you deciphered from the last guest teaser. Combining them with the secret code you find in this post might get you closer to that future benefit we mentioned...
If you loved the Halloween event, you might also love what we have in store!
The Winter Holiday Pack is available for wishlisting now, and FREE for all players.
If you enjoyed the Winter Update (or didn’t get the chance to play it while it was around during the holidays), be sure to grab this so you can enjoy the content year-round!
Just like Halloween, it’ll have a toggle on/off feature, so you can enjoy the holiday-themed party whenever you’re feeling the Christmas spirit.
Check out the trailer below, brahs:
Already played the update last holiday season? Don’t worry - there’s plenty more awesome stuff planned for both this and the Halloween Holiday Pack in the future!
In the meantime, your favorite holidays will be back soon. We’re still on track with getting the toggle on/off feature into internal beta testing within the next month or two and releasing the Halloween Holiday Pack permanently this Q1 2023.
The Winter Holiday Pack will follow closely behind on Santa Frank’s sleigh: releasing in Q2 2023!
What’s gonna be in the House Party - Winter Holiday Pack?
Festive seasonal decorations, like: ⭐ Ornaments ☃️ A Snowman 🎄 Pine Garlands ✨ Hanging Lights 🍬 Glowing Candy Canes 🌟 Star-Shaped Lights ❄️ Snowflake Window Decals 🌨️ Lightly Falling Snow Outside 👏 …And Many More To Come!
There will also be cheery Christmas outfits such as: 🎅 Santa & Elf Hats 👕 A Festive Sweater 🎁 …And Many More Costumes & Accessories On The Way!
Plus, you can throw snowballs at other partiers and explore a short seasonal Frank side-quest (with a special holiday achievement)!
Add the DLC to your wishlist, doods and lady-doods, and get ready to enjoy merry and bright decorations, festive outfits, and falling snow all year at the House Party!
The sexy and hilarious party you know and love will flirt with a bit of blood and darkness this SuMmer. Are you ready, dooDs?
Our next guest wilL ramp up the party with the wildest eXplicit intimacy thus far and most jaw-droppIng story yet!
Get ready for Summer 2023, partiers.
Are you feeling more zen and creative than Madison painting her spirit animals? Or do you just enjoy having the power to create alternate video game universes where Frank isn't typecast as some weird, druggy skinhead and Katherine isn't a stuck-up know-it-all?
This patch isn't live quite yet, but our next update will contain some not-so-minor bug fixes, game optimizations, story and engine improvements, and - best of all - major Custom Story Creator additions. If you're the type of partier who gets creamy about creating personalized House Party stories, you're going to love what we're working on.
This upcoming quality of life update will make it so creators can work faster and more effectively to create more complex stories than ever before. This should make it so more varied custom stories can be created by new and experienced story creators alike. We're hyped to see what kind of party experiences you create!
We're also currently taking steps toward improving Steam Deck performance. Right now, House Party is Playable on the Steam Deck, but we are slowly working toward getting it Verified. We're excited that everyone will be able to enjoy a smoother play experience on the Deck soon!
Also, brahs, did you see Smosh Games made a House Party video? Freaking awesome!
Check out the hilarious video to find out if Ian’s very real parents will let him buy House Party:
Also, we hid something in this announcement that might come in handy in the future, if you're observant enough to find it...
What would the holidays be without our favorite brahs? Thanks so much for booting up House Party and choosing to celebrate winter with us, partiers!
We had an amazing time celebrating the holidays with you, and, although the House Party Winter Event is officially over (for now), you’ll see it again soon.
Just like the House Party - Halloween Holiday Pack, the Winter Event will return as a FREE permanent DLC in the coming months (with a new toggle on/off feature) and receive future content updates! We’ll share more details on this soon.
Adding the holidays was a spur-of-the-moment passion-and-booze-fueled decision, and we didn’t expect the response to be so positive - or for you doods to want permanent versions of the holidays and a toggle feature!
It’s awesome that you enjoyed it so much, and we plan on bringing those things to you as soon as possible! For now, though, we probably need to slow down on creating new holiday content until around Halloween just so we can keep bringing you more House Party updates alongside the holiday stuff!
However, thanks to your feedback, we have tons of awesome plans for future holidays that we can't wait to get started on! While we work on keeping pace with House Party development and polishing Halloween and Winter as permanent DLCs, we'll also try to confirm some of next year's planned holidays so you can give us extra suggestions on content you might like to see!
We also wanted to take a second to showcase these sweet tattoos some of our Discord community members created recently! Tenag made an awesome flower-themed tattoo for fan-favorite girl Ashley, and Nightimeglobe7 created a sick back tattoo for party host Madison.
It’s always super cool to see you guys getting creative and modding the game to how you envision it with reskinning and custom stories. If you want to see more cool community content or learn how to make your own custom tattoos for House Party characters, come hang out on our Discord!
January 2023 is here, doods, and it's officially time for another year of partying!
Thanks for your supportive comments and New Year's wishes! It's awesome so many of you are hyped for Office Party. It's still in very early stages right now, but we'll keep you updated when we have cool progress to share!
We hope you're all enjoying the Winter Holiday Update!
The event ends this January 9th, but it'll be back permanently in a free DLC after we polish it and add a toggle on/off feature. That way you'll be able to activate and deactivate the seasonal content whenever you want to - all year long!
Speaking of holiday DLC, you can wishlist House Party's FREE Halloween Holiday Pack now to get notified when it becomes permanently available for download. We're making good progress on having it ready this Q1 2023. Want a recap of what’s in the pack? Check out the awesome new trailer we made above!
If you missed it, this is a free permanent DLC version of our 2022 limited-time Halloween Event that we're putting together due to community requests! Remember, it was a small event, and the DLC will not have any new content right away (besides the toggle feature in the main menu), but we do plan to add more free updates to it in the future!
If you missed our Halloween event, are excited for the limited-time content to be permanent, or want access to future free seasonal updates, this DLC is for you! Wishlist it so you don't miss it when it drops and get ready to get spooky, doods!
Thank you to everyone who participated in our House Party merch design contest! It was a blast seeing all the funny and cool ideas you had!
Congratulations to our winner, pek², who will have their concept featured in our official merch store! They created an absolute masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture that really highlights the brahvado of Michelangelo's David.
This past year has been incredible. It has been awesome reaching so many milestones this year, and we're stoked that you've been on this wild ride with us!
This year, we shared the female player with everyone, and it's been amazing seeing you welcome her to the party with open arms.
It was especially cool to see in our Holiday Feedback Form that so many of you like her, and we've had a lot of fun updating the game to react to a female protagonist and improving House Party's intimacy system to better support her content.
Exiting Early Access this year was unreal.
We poured our hearts into building House Party from the ground up for years, so much so that it doesn't even look like the same game it did when it was first created. We've added so many items, stories, characters, and gameplay mechanics that it's really been a labor of love, and we're finally at a point where we feel proud to call it an out-of-early-access title!
And, wow, the Doja Cat Expansion Pack was a huge task and major learning experience for us.
It was wild making our first DLC, especially with such a popular celebrity right from the start, but we worked really hard on it, and we hope you've found something charming about the content!
Plus, we started delving into seasonal updates this year! Next year, we hope to have the DLCs ready for you, so you can enjoy them all year long!
Thanks so much for supporting us through 2022, and cheers to kicking off another awesome year of partying!
This winter season, we hope your eggnog is strong, your parties are wild, and you get plenty of time under the mistletoe. Be sure to stay on the naughty list this year, partiers!
We love you brahs. Have an awesome holiday season, and we hope you have been enjoying playing the winter update we put together for you!
Speaking of the winter update, have you played Frank's hilarious holiday sidequest yet?
We won't share any spoilers (just in case you've been busy this holiday season), but we put together a House Party picture frame overlay for you to make your own seasonal Christmas Card this holiday should the ideal presentation, uhh, present itself during your holiday partying!
Whether it's a picture of you, your favorite moment in House Party, your favorite House Party meme, or something else entirely - feel free to have some fun with creating your own party-themed holiday card this year, and don't forget to show us the awesome, funny, or ridiculous cards you create!
Feel free to @ us or #HousePartyGame on social media or post your images in our Discord #CommunityContent channel so we can see what you design! Get the picture frame here and start creating, doods: {LINK REMOVED}http://bit.ly/HouseParty_Christmas
The House Party - Halloween Holiday Pack, our first ever seasonal DLC, is available for wishlisting now (and completely free for all players)!
Thanks again to everyone who loved House Party's limited-time event and asked for it to become permanent! We were blown away by how much love you doods had for the seasonal update we added, and we're happy to officially say that House Party’s spooky season will be returning permanently!
As promised, we will also be adding a toggle on/off feature for the holiday content, so you'll be able to turn off the Halloween event in-game without having to uninstall or redownload your DLC! Our team is working hard on finalizing this feature and it's looking like we should move into internal private beta testing for it in early 2023!
This feature should make it super convenient for all of you to manage your seasonal DLC in a straightforward visual selection screen within the Main Menu of the game, so we hope you'll really like it!
What’s in the House Party - Halloween Holiday Pack?
Spooky seasonal decorations, like: 🎃 Pumpkins 👻 Spooky Ghosts ☠ A Cheap Skeleton 🕸 Lots Of Spiderwebs 🕷 One Giant Furry Spider 😱 And Many More To Come!
There’s also a chilling succubus/incubus outfit wearable by all “Halloween-minded” characters with the following accessory pieces: 😈 Scary Horns 🦇 Creepy Bat Wings 😉 And A Sexy, Spiky Tail!
We might even have a special surprise for you, too…
So be sure to add the DLC to your wishlist, doods, and get ready to enjoy petrifying decorations and sinister costumes all year at the House Party!
