Weekly News: Halloween Party Update, QOL and more!

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!
