House Party News

After five years of development, our passion project is finally released! This is an incredible milestone. Thanks so much, everyone, for your support throughout all of these years. We never would have come this far without your bug testing, translations, and feedback! We’re so excited for you to play the game we always want to make for you.

Just because we are coming out of Early Access though doesn’t mean we are going to stop working on the game. We feel the game is ready enough to no longer be considered Early Access, but translation updates will continue to be rolled out over the next week or two, and there will still be more polish, cutscenes, and Easter Eggs in the pipeline.

And we hope you’re as excited as we are for the future ahead!

House Party Version 1.0 is here! Join us in welcoming the female player to the party!

While most of her story will feel familiar, the female protagonist has some story variations of her own: you'll be invited to the party by a different bestie, partygoers will react differently to you, you'll hear new background conversations, there will be some new ways to bond with familiar partygoers, and brand new romance scenes for the female player!

Thanks for your patience, everyone! Adding her was a huge undertaking and we really appreciate your patience and help playtesting the first look. Have fun checking out the new content, enjoy partying as a female, and don’t forget to dive back into the game and (re)discover all the content we’ve added and guests we’ve invited through the years!

Check out all of the new changes here: https://housepartygame.com/release-notes/

Note: Language translations won’t be available on launch day, but you can chill with us on our Discord to find out when they’ll be ready: https://discord.com/invite/eekgames



It's officially time for us to start working full force on the Doja Cat DLC! Are you guys freaking stoked to party with her? It won’t be long until we can share some sneak peeks of Doja Cat gameplay, with Doja’s character fully voiced by Doja herself and some of her biggest songs added to the house playlist! Don't forget to wishlist it:

Hell yeah! Next week, House Party leaves Early Access! We're getting the female player's story all prepped for Version 1.0 to go live, and here's a peek at the changes we've been working on:

- We reworked The Muse (storyline for Madison and Derek), the Sibling Warfare (storyline for Ashley), and Vickie’s endurance test to better fit the female player.
- We added a new sleeping mask item… Can you figure out what it’s for?
- Not only can you now bond with Derek, but we made it so the female player can now ask him for help and advice on a variety of topics. He’s not your long-time buddy anymore, but he’s still happy to help you find your way around the party!
- We added and adjusted LOADS of dialogue and responses for a bunch of characters to smooth out gameplay for the female player across the entire Original Story. The characters most affected by these changes are Brittney, Derek, Madison, Rachael, and Vickie, but almost every character has something new for you to discover!!
- We updated almost all of the romance scenes in the game to work with the female player, including dialogue and context, and redesigned much of the hookup logic to provide a more fulfilling experience for her. We plan on polishing the romance scenes even further and will add new cutscenes in our first update after the Doja Cat DLC launches!
- We made it so the female player can now ask Brittney to move to another location, provided that the player has done something to help her out first. Are you a good enough friend to help Brittney mingle?
- We updated poses so male poses in the Original Story are now replaced by female poses whenever appropriate.
...and much more!

These changes aren't live yet, but we're excited to bring them live in our upcoming update when we officially leave Early Access next week. We hope you’ll have fun exploring the new content when it drops!

We hope you doods and doodettes had an awesome 4th of July this year chilling at concerts, gatherings, and BBQs. Hopefully, you remembered to set off a few extra fireworks this year to celebrate House Party leaving Early Access soon, too!

With House Party almost out of Early Access, don't forget that we'll be prepping the Doja Cat DLC to share with everyone. Can you believe it's almost time to party with Doja? Add the DLC to your wishlist now so you know as soon as it goes live this fall:

Did you miss Ava's “Let’s NOT Play” stream last night?

Well, dood, it was awesome, and you missed out big time! But that's actually okay, because it's all recorded, so you can still check out the saved version on her Twitch!

So kick back, crack open a cold one, and get ready to laugh as Ava reacts to playing House Party off-screen during this chill and funny play session: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1525622475

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!

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!

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!
