Hey guys!  Here's House Party 0.7.6 Beta!  This update is mostly focused around bug fixes and polish, but there are a lot of interesting developments being introduced as well.

First off, you may notice the house is arranged and painted differently.  We're preparing the game for our next story based around having a date night with Brittney, but we realized as we got into it that the house *looks* like people are having a party in it, what with alcohol, solo cups, and beer pong set up, etc...

We fixed this by redesigning the house to have more of a standard look, and we will be re-introducing the "party" elements down the line via story updates, so the custom stories will now have more of a say of how the house looks and is decorated.

This paves the way for us to begin writing new stories that will be available along-side the Original Story.

CHANGE LOG:

Added voice acting Lines for new dialogues

Improved lighting

Re-painted the house

Added a neighborhood and trees

Rearranged a lot of items to pave the way for new stories

Player can now only drink alcohol that is already in his inventory

Fixed a bug that allowed the player to ask Ashley to hand over her dirty clothes while at unintended locations

Fixed a bug that caused characters to spin with enthusiastic anger when they forget how to use a door

Improved/smoothed continuous dialogue interactions with Brittney

Fixed some issues with NPCs not getting re-dressed after coming out of the hot tub

Fixed an issue where you could escape Frank's wrath by sicking him on Patrick (Sorry)

Fixed an issue where Madison could incorrectly catch you stealing her diary when she's too far away

Fixed an issue where events in "Derek Smash" can happen before you get the quest

The kitchen slider can now be opened from inside as well as outside

Fixed duplicate thought bubble on the Raymond line in Madison's dialogue

Fixed an issue preventing the completion of one of Madison's quest-lines

Fixed an issue with completing the "Express Yourself" quest when some characters are in various states

Fixed an issue where the text would re-size on the Load Game dialogue

Bolted down a lot of items that could get lost or move somewhere that hinders the story

Removed Beer Pong Table and other "Party" elements so they can be re-introduced down the line as directed by the story

Awesome! Just waiting on the walkthrough now :D

Jacob Dwyer

This was a really great and needed update. The lighting especially was a great touch. Good job y'all! (P.S. you did have some floating trees in the background outside, but that's really the only thing I saw that was out of place)

SkyRed7

When will the next update be?

Sebastian Geier

I´ve noticed a small issue where you can´´t pick ip Madisons Diary in the Save. It is impossible even after a restart

Raiko Love

Can't pick up her dairy no matter what i do.

James Muller

Hey, is there a way to see the change log for 7.5? Just a beta here I don’t know what was changed with 7.5.

Repeatmetic

I restarted the game 3 times and I still can't get the diary

eekgames

I see this and we confirmed it. It'll be fixed for next week's build.

Thank you! I forgot about that site. Look forward to trying it out when I get home tonight.

Repeatmetic

The neighborhood adds a ton of atmosphere to the yard, and everything else looks great. Good job people.

Lynfan Productions

You can no longer tell Madison you saw her nudes after you hack her phone

Raiko Love

Can't get the empty whisky bottle. the option to ask for it never comes up.

Uzu_TinyTip

It's a bug John had the same problem and had to completely restart to fix it, was before this release though.

Scamp Hunter

How do I complete Derek Smash? Patrick doesn't seem to want any of the alcohol from Frank's cabinet

Raven

Aah, tell me about it. I was thinking the same for a long while. Get the flask from the room with the laptop. Should be in a desk drawer. Give it to Rachel and she should fill it from her Thermos. That's what Patrick's after.

DRWILLIAMMASH

really like the neighborhood look and the house looks great with the new placements.

Haydes

When will the walkthrough be updated?

Sebayer

Read the 1st comment.

Stephen J

Love the new look. But this release sees the return of seriously glitched graphics. Can take five minutes or more just to walk around the backyard, and return to the house. The program actually crashed, generating a crash report. How/where do I send you the folder ??

Mike

"player inventory diary add" in console solves the issue for now.

GrooveDaddy

Yea , I'm running into some bugs. Can't pick up diary (I see this was addressed), Katherine won't move when the cell jammer is activated either....

morgy

Can't find the last bottle which is supposed to be behind the couch :/

GrooveDaddy

Another glitch, when I look at the empty Vodka bottle, I don't have the option to ask Frank about it :/

eekgames

You probably didn't tell Frank you were sober. This is a continuity thing. If you never find out that Frank is guarding the alcohol, it doesn't make sense to ask him if you can take it. You first have to tell him you're sober, and then find out that he is guarding the alcohol, as well as have inspected the vodka before you can ask him if you can take it.

eekgames

We know about the diary thing, and it will be fixed for next release. For Kat, just keep trying. Sometimes she decides to go to the same place she is already in. We are going to work on that for next build.

GrooveDaddy

OK Ill try that again for sure, thanks!

Sergey

Thanks for the build from linux community!

Schnibs86

Drawers are always empty when I look.

Trevor Kennedy

Diary isn't select-able out of the safe and the the fight between Patrick/Derek/Frank is glitchy, Frank never gets knocked out

Mark Lower

I have a weird bug with this release on Linux. The screen is very dark and none of the character models show up. Are there any logs or anything I could look at to try an debug, or do you have any ideas?

Sebayer

Unable to load a game from the main menu. I need to start a new game and then i load my save. Unable to pick the diary in the safe (Windows version).

1. If anyone else has a problem with the camera not working, their Anti-Virus is blocking the game from saving pictures to the 'My Documents' folder. I found that with Avast, I needed to add the game as an allowed app under the "Ransomware Shield" tab. 2. Not sure that the flag on the Empty Vodka Bottle is quite right. I didn't get the option to collect it until after I'd given Katherine Rum, Rachel her Thermos, and bought weed from Frank. 3. The flask didn't spawn in the Study Desk drawers. I know where I'm supposed to be looking, and I found and opened the drawers. They're just empty. 4. Lastly, it doesn't seem all that intuitive to give the flask to Rachael to have her fill it. It is something you should remember if you're paying attention, but a reminder would be good too. If a pop-up or hint from Derek seems too obvious, I'd recommend having Rachael hold her thermos after you give it to her. It's a good visual hint, and you can always have her pocket it when she strips in her story. I mean, she does know she's in a video game after all.

I had a couple of issues, some of them may be reported already, sorry for repeating them. 1) One run Katherine didn't spawn in kitchen at game start, she spawned in the small study (where she goes to do SMS spoofing) 2) Another run microwave spawned on the floor of kitchen, I guess it bounced on spawn. 3) Vickie had intercourse with player fully clothed. This happened after I used the console ("intimacy player end sexualact") to stop a previous intercourse in hot tub. She then left it, became fully clothed and I talked to her on the stairway to initiate again. 4) Graphics became weird for some reason. Previous version I played 1440x900 resolution on a 1080p laptop with hybrid graphics, it was fine. This build I tried the same settings, but graphics was noticeably grainy. At one point I alt+tabbed out of game and when I came back graphics was switched to 1080p. It looked really sharp but low FPS for my machine. 5) Diary cannot be interacted with at all and is slightly hovering. Thank you for extra story, was really happy with it
