House Party News

June Week 4 Update!



Two More Weeks Until House Party Exits Early Access! Here’s An Update On Our Progress And Goals For The Female Player's Story:

While the male and female will have similar stories, the female player will have some unique content compared to the male. Here's how it will be different:

- She will have a brand new reason for being invited to the party. Derek won’t be the one who invited her...so, who do you think it will be?
- Since she won’t have the same brahmance with Derek as the male character, she’ll have a different way to bond with your favorite OG buddy!
- NPCs will greet and react to her differently.
- There will be different background chatter to overhear around the party.
- There will be a new story item (and it may look familiar)!
- There will be new female-specific Objectives to complete.
- We will be fixing a ton of player-reported bugs.
- She will have romance storylines much like that of the male character, and we will be adding new female player romance content both before and after we leave Early Access for you to enjoy! We are also planning other post-release updates that will include more bug fixes, polish, and content!

Please keep in mind that these changes are NOT live yet, but they are a preview of what is coming soon! We're working hard to get it ready as soon as possible, and we can't wait to share all of the new female content with everyone!



Edit: Ava's House Party stream got postponed due to travel issues, but keep an eye on the House Party socials and Ava's Twitter for the rescheduled time!

Twitch Sensation Ava Is Streaming A House Party “Let’s NOT Play” from 6pm CST tomorrow *event start time to be updated on her socials @ AvaGG in the evening.*

She’s one of the most popular, carefree, and lovable female gamers on Twitch, and her main loves in life are beer and video games. If you think she sounds like the perfect streamer to explore the party, you're right!

It’s a “Let’s NOT Play” cause, you know… we’re still banned on Twitch. Ava will NOT be playing House Party on Twitch. Well, she’ll be playing it, but she won’t be showing it. You get the picture. Or maybe you won’t, cause you won’t see what she’s doing, but she’ll be playing off-screen, reacting, and talking about House Party coming out of Early Access and the upcoming Doja Cat DLC.

Crack open your Natty Lites and settle in for an awesome time! She’s hyped to play House Party for all of you, so don’t miss it, dudes!

Kick back, get ready for a chill time, and click here to watch it at 6pm CST tomorrow: https://www.twitch.tv/avagg



P.S. Don't forget to keep posting fan content on our Discord #community-content channel for a chance to win a free piece of House Party merch! Show us some cool House Party stuff, doods!

House Party is Exiting Early Access on July 15th!

After five years of development, House Party is leaving Steam Early Access on July 15th!

This is a huge milestone, and we’re stoked to finally be releasing the game after so many years of hard work.



At that point, the female player will be live and House Party will be a complete game, but we still have more to add - including her steamy threesome cutscenes, quality of life updates, VR, House Party DLC expansion packs (like this fall's Doja Cat DLC), and more!

We’re also planning a sequel to House Party, called Office Party, which we’ll start developing soon!

And, don't forget, the Steam Summer Sale starts soon! This will be our biggest sale for a while (50% off the base game and 69% off the explicit DLC), so be sure to get House Party on sale now before it fully releases!

Happy Pride Month, Dev Update, and Female Player ETA

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!

Merch Giveaway, Community Content, and More Updates!

"How's it going, dudes? Staying away from the alcohol?"

These past couple of months have been a blur for our team, and we know we’ve been a bit quiet lately.

But the good news is, we’ve been working like crazy on a bunch of really awesome milestones:
  • Finalizing the female player’s story
  • Getting ESRB and USK18 rated (so we’re available in Germany again)
  • Getting House Party ready to exit Early Access
  • Working with Doja Cat and her team to conceptualize her storyline so we can start developing it right after House Party launches

Still, we don’t like staying so quiet, so we’ve decided to do smaller, more frequent Steam news updates with more sneak peeks of bugs we’re fixing, exclusive access about content we’re working on, stories about the team, and more.

These will be smaller, bite-sized posts, and we hope they’ll serve as cool inside-look updates during times when we’re crunching on larger patches for longer periods of time.



Bring Your Brahsomest Community Content, Brahs!


As part of our more frequent updates, we thought it’d be really cool to start featuring community content in our Steam posts.

This is something we haven’t really done before, but you dudes post awesome House Party stuff all the time, and we’d like to show off some of that cool and funny stuff you create!

To kick this off and celebrate and just because we love you guys, we decided to do a free merch giveaway on our official Discord to the player who submits the most awesome fan content.

1st place will receive a Frank “How’s It Going, Dude?” t-shirt and 2nd & 3rd place will each receive a House Party mug of their favorite character.

The rules are that the content has to be SFW (so we can share it on Steam and social media), House Party related, and created or taken by you (please don’t steal other peoples’ stuff, dudes).

It can be…
  • Fan art
  • Screenshots
  • Merch selfies
  • Funny let's plays
  • Character cosplays
  • Memes
  • …or anything else you can think of


Just post it in our Discord #community-content channel to participate!
