House Party News

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our partiers!

We're so thankful for all the players who have played and enjoyed House Party through every step of its development. What started as a little indie passion project created by one person has grown to be a labor of love delivered from our small team to you.

We appreciate you brahs so much, and House Party has come so far thanks to your passion and feedback. Cheers to a happy turkey day and to keeping the party going!



In regards to our recently announced plans for free seasonal DLCs, thank you all for the incredible costume ideas you gave us for our Halloween event!

You guys know we're a small team, so thanks for having patience with us. Although we can’t currently commit to content that is super art-heavy, like every character having a unique full-body costume for every single event, it’s still amazing to hear your ideas for outfits!

We do plan on adding to the seasonal DLCs by releasing more holiday content over time, and we definitely want to create outfits for everyone, too! But it may take some time, as our current focus is working on House Party QoL updates, character DLCs, clothing DLCs, the VR DLC, Office Party, and more! But we’ll get there, one step at a time!



So, although we can’t promise a costume for every character for each holiday while still working on development (unless our team gets bigger), we will continue to do our best to bring you doods everything we can, as soon as we can!

With that said, we put together a quick feedback form to help us prioritize what we should focus on for future seasonal events! It would be great if you could take the time to answer, so we know what to focus on most, and so we can keep track of all your awesome seasonal ideas in one place.

Thanks for helping us make the party more awesome, doods!

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!
