Happy Pride Month, partiers!
In our last few major story updates, we’ve had the opportunity to add a bunch of really cool LGBTQ+ content to the game.
Back when we were a one-man dev team, adding stuff like the Frank and Derek stories, the Vickie threesome cutscenes, and the full female playthrough would never have been possible, but we’re really happy now to have an amazing team that has made adding gay, bisexual, and lesbian content to House Party possible.
Thanks a bunch for supporting us, and we’re really excited to see what’s in store for House Party’s future DLC content and Office Party! We hope everyone has an awesome pride month!
Female Player First Look, Bug Fixes, and Progress Update
In our female player first look, we shared the framework for the female player, which included a thorough first pass through the existing male content and a bunch of tone, pronoun, and wording tweaks to make you feel at home in the party as the female player.
The next update will finalize a lot of the female player’s content, include some unique story for the female player, and it will fix a bunch of bugs that everyone reported during playtesting!
We can’t share too many details about the female’s unique story content yet, but we can list a few of the bugs we fixed that you’ve been asking about! Here’s our best attempt at trying to make just a small portion of our internal patch notes Steam appropriate:
- We fixed a bug that allowed the female player to trigger reactions from NPCs as if they’d been “ejected” on.
- Inside intimacy cutscenes, NPCs will now have a sensitivity of 1 in the base game. This will help prevent premature and doubled up “happy times” in cutscenes where an NPC and another character are close enough to get turned on via proximity.
- We fixed an issue that allowed characters to repeatedly step backwards instead of walking to a target.
- We fixed a problem that could cause cutscenes to occasionally become erroneously paused immediately after they had started.
- Users can now save a game manually without inputting a custom save game name (this will use a date and playtime-based timestamp).
- We fixed a problem that could cause noticeable camera sway when the female player was in a certain pleasure-giving pose (pose 10).
- We fixed an issue that caused extremely unpleasant camera twitching when the female player was receiving certain pleasure acts.
We hope these changes make your experience playing House Party smoother and more enjoyable. Keep in mind that these bug fixes are not live yet, but they will be coming in our next update!
But…Eek! Team, when IS the Female Player going live?
We don’t have an official date right now, but we shared in our AMA with the Eek! Games founders that House Party will leave Early Access in July, and we plan to have her base story completed by then!
We’ve had a ton of stuff going on with the lead-up to launch, and we really appreciate how patient everyone has been. This is a seriously exciting time for the game, and, between the female story and the Doja Cat DLC, we have a ton of really awesome stuff to share with everyone in these next few months!
