House Party 0.15.0 (Alpha)

Happy Wednesday Patrons, 

We figured hump day was a good day to release our next Alpha for you lovely folks. We think you’re gonna like it. 

With Leah being the main focus of this story, there was no better time to introduce a mechanic we’ve been dying to add to House Party for a long time: PLAYER COMBAT. 

Since the early days of HP, fists have been flying but never from the player. This Alpha is our first step towards building out the player’s combat abilities against other NPCs. This includes punching and blocking, meaning you’ll be able to finally go toe-to-toe with Frank! 

Now, we’re not Skyrim, but we did introduce a strength system. Each partygoer has their own strength that determines how hard of a punch they can throw, and they also have other stats that factor in like speed and stamina. That means there are a couple of “Boss-tier” fighters in the house. We’ll...let you figure out who those people are. You probably have a good idea. 

Keep in mind, you’re not Mike Tyson. Don’t expect to come in swinging and dominate the house. You’ll need to practice fighting to take down even the lower strength NPCs. Shit, maybe we are Skyrim...

You can toggle "Combat Mode" by pressing the space bar.

This Alpha lays the foundation of Leah’s epic story. You’ll only get a taste of the new story content to come, but it should get you excited for Leah’s journey ahead. We had a lot of fun with this one.

All items related to this story have been implemented, so you should see some pretty neat additions around the house. There are several very unique things to find, so a little exploration could do you some good. *Ahem* Ashley’s room *Ahem*

Lastly, you may notice from these screenshots that we’re implementing different visual filters. These have a reason to exist in Leah’s story (not yet explored in this Alpha) but they also add a very cool aesthetic to HP. 

We’re really pleased with how Leah’s story is growing and we’ve got much more to show you in a few week’s time. Enjoy these new features in the meantime!
