House Party News

[p]House Party Patch 1.4.2.13206g is here! [/p][p]
The most important change in this update is the resolution of the Unity Security vulnerability, but we've fixed a couple of bugs as well.[/p][p][/p][h3]Unity Security Vulnerability[/h3][p]
Unity issued a notice about a vulnerability in all versions of the engine since 2017.1. We have updated the Unity version of House Party to resolve this vulnerability. We fixed a couple of bugs this update created (scrolling sensitivity and digital camera issues), but they weren't issues before, so you shouldn't see any change with those fixes.
[/p][h3]Additional Bug Fixes
[/h3][p]We fixed an issue that could cause the new group popup to not allow creation of a new group. Photos from saved games now correctly load again when a saved game is loaded. And we fixed a bug that caused the new game button to sometimes not work for new players on their first run of the game.

[h3]VA Casting for House Party’s Final DLC, is Now Open![/h3][p][/p][p]Hey party people,[/p][p]We’re opening up auditions for HP's final DLC, Nocturnal Temptations.[/p][p]As you’ll see in the casting call, we’re looking for some BIG personalities. Some of these roles are short appearances, others may carry over into future content... Either way, all are paid gigs.[/p][p][/p][h3]VA Casting for Office Party, Also Open![/h3][p][/p][p]We’re also holding auditions for OFFICE PARTY, our next big adventure. We highly encourage anybody trying out for the DLC roles to also check out the OP roles.[/p][p]If you’ve got the pipes, the energy, and the right personality to make these characters unforgettable, we want to hear from you. Check out the call sheets below for details on each role and how to audition.[/p][p]ALSO -- if you know a VA who’d fit right in -- spread the word! Sharing this kind of stuff goes a long way.[/p][p][/p][p]Let's hear what you've got. Or what your friend's got. Or what some dude you follow on X has got.[/p][p][/p][p]- The Eek Team[/p][p][/p][h3]NOCTURNAL TEMPTATIONS CASTING CALL[/h3][h3]OFFICE PARTY CASTING CALL[/h3]

[p]Party people, how’s it hanging? We’ve got some news you may not have expected. [/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h3][/h3][h2]Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop[/h2][p][/p][p]While we're still going full-steam ahead on OFFICE PARTY, your calls for more HOUSE PARTY have been impossible to ignore. Truthfully, we were sitting on a story idea that was too hot to let go, and we’re glad our community willed this one into existence. It's the perfect reason to throw one last rager.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Get ready for Nocturnal Temptations. Since it's HP's last ride, we thought we'd get weird with it. This is a full-blown time travel story. You're going back in time to an all-new 1950s environment. You'll find yourself on a cursed film set in the woods, where you’ll deal with weirdo cults, make a grindhouse movie, and maybe stop someone from getting with their grandmother.[/p][p][/p][p]This DLC is THICC, ambitious, and one of our craziest projects yet. Don't say we're not merciful degenerates. This one's for you.[/p][p][/p][p]WISHLIST NOCTURNAL TEMPTATIONS![/p][hr][/hr][h3][/h3][h2]Hints of What's to Come...[/h2][p][/p][p]Don't get it twisted -- OFFICE PARTY development is still going strong. Really strong. Our patrons will get a tech demo near the year’s end, with a more public demo following after. We don’t wanna toot our own horn, but this sequel is turning into something really special. And yes, there’s still a button to take your pants off. [/p][p][/p][p]In the meantime, the Nocturnal Temptations DLC builds upon the lore of Patrick's mysterious company, Donghauser Unlimited -- the setting of our upcoming sequel. While we buckle down and finish OP, have one last ride in HP’s last DLC and get to know the place that'll be signing your paychecks when you join the DU team.[/p][p][/p][p]For more OP development news, check out OFFICE PARTY’s store page. There’s new stuff waiting for you right now. Alright, keep it sleazy. Peace.[/p][p][/p][p]-- Eek Team[/p][p][/p][p]DON'T FORGET TO WISHLIST OFFICE PARTY![/p][p][/p][p][/p]

[p]House Party Patch 1.4.2.13206 is here! [/p][p]
We know you're chomping at the bit for more Office Party info! It's coming soon! In the meantime, this is a small House Party update... This update consists of some improvements and bug fixes.[/p][h3]
Rate Designs More Easily[/h3][p]
Probably the coolest part of this update is the new ability to rate and report designs directly from the customizer page. You no longer have to browse designs and search for the downloaded design in question again, in order to be able to rate or report it!

[/p][h3]External Browser Login[/h3][p]
There's now an external browser login option for the custom stories browser and design sharing tools. This may not be an upgrade for everyone, but players using Crossover to play House Party on a Mac can't use the embedded login. We're hoping this might help them!

[/p][h3]Story Updates Now Come with Game Patches[/h3][p]
Another notable change is that stories are no longer downloaded from the Eek server on game start. They will be updated through small patches now. This is also not a huge change, but not having to download on every game start will help (technically all players, but especially) players with slower internet connections get back in the game quicker!

We fixed a few more bugs and you can see them all here:

[p]Fair to say it’s been a BUSY couple of weeks around the Eek! office (our luxurious encampment under the freeway). And yes, there’s one BIG piece of news you might’ve already heard… but we’ll save that for last. We're big fans of edging.[/p][p]Over the last few months, HOUSE PARTY has had many quality-of-life upgrades, especially for all you customization fiends.[/p][p]With 1.4.2.13192, we overhauled the hell out of our backend processes. In game, you'll notice some quality of life improvements for the custom story and design browsing tools -- a new login screen, a progress bar, and faster browsing. [/p][p]This change is also paired with a migration of our websites, to ensure a better flowing and efficient experience across all sites. We'll have more detailed documentation on this soon, but just know your my.eekgames.com will be the new place to manage your Eek! Account.[/p][p]

[/p][p]And if you’re ready to get into custom story creation, good news: Cody from team Eek! put together a comprehensive video series (P1, P2, P3) to walk you through every step of building your own HOUSE PARTY story. That'll keep you busy while we work on the sequel.[/p][p]Oh, speaking of which…[/p][h2]First Look: This is OFFICE PARTY![/h2][p]We're ready to show the world what comes next for our world of debauchery. Head over to the OFFICE PARTY store page to see what chaos lies ahead in the SEQUEL to HOUSE PARTY! [/p][p][/p][p][/p]
