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!

Follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for the latest brah-some game updates and announcements. Be sure to join our after party on Discord too!

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!
