House Partiers,
We never like to keep you waiting. It’s time for another alpha and this one’s packed with new content.
Leah’s mighty story has two diverging paths (with even more paths within those paths!) and at the time of this alpha release, one full path is complete. Crazy, hilarious stuff goes down in this story, stuff we can’t wait for our VAs to take a whack at. We hope you’ll see why. 😀
Have a good weekend and as always, thanks for having our back!
-Eek Team
P.S. For those who may have missed it, the original creator and CEO of Eek Games was a guest on a gamedev podcast recently. He spoke about the ins and outs of House Party. Take a listen if you’ve got the chance!

- Player.Sit and Player.Laydown events will now have the target bed/chair shown in the logs and in the CSC
- Added Throw Punch SendEvent option to the CSC
- Tweaked the dropdowns in the CSC for State Events and State Criteria to be alphabetically sorted, and the order of the dropdowns within the GUI element to be more in-line with the game event and criteria naming structure
- Gave Leah an Earpiece she can reach for. For security reasons
- Added the “PhoneBlindedMe” reaction event for CSC users. This will trigger when a Phone Light is visibly on and a Character enters a roughly character-sized capsule that extends outward from the Phone Light
- Added a new Move Target/Sex Spot in the garage, behind the ping pong table. Watch out…balls from above!
- DisplayGameMessage events will now have their GameMessageTypes option displayed in the CSC and when logged in the Debug Log
- Added a TriggerBGC console command
- Individual TriggerBGC events are now much more responsive under almost all circumstances
- DialogueOnly characters (Phone Call, Compubrah) can no longer be selected for an IKReach event
- Further standardization of Game Event naming and logging conventions with CSC dropdowns
- WalkToTargetOption “Cancel” will no longer show up in various places in the CSC where having a “Cancel” option was inappropriate
- Further standardization of Criteria naming and CSC dropdowns (against Game Events where appropriate), with exceptions for criteria such as “Distance”, “Vision” and “Is In Front Of”, etc. which are more readable with slightly different formatting. Decreased OCD variance matrix by -0.2207 chodivars
- Added missing dropdowns for the Criteria/CompareType when selecting IsCurrentlyUsing or IsCurrentlyBeingUsed
- Can no longer select the Player or DialogueOnly Characters (Phone Call, Compubrah) as the CharacterToReactTo in a ReachTarget Event Trigger, as this event is only handled by standard NPCs
- Moved the Initialization of certain variables and references in a few scripts that mount or use items in conjunction with character models to earlier in the loading process, and otherwise performed minor cleanup on similar scripts
- If the “None” criteria is selected in the CSC, the user will be able to select another criteria from the dropdown, instead of having to remove that criteria and choose a new one
- CSC users can now directly compare two values, whether they are “owned” by the same character, or two different characters

- DialogueOnly Characters like PhoneCall and Compubrah can no longer be set to receive GetsHitByProjectile event triggers in the CSC
- In the CSC, an Event Trigger can now call itself via a PerformEvent game event IF its Delay is greater than zero. Previously, this was restricted due to the possibility of recursively firing an infinite number of events with a delay of zero, which could freeze the game
- Various accuracy and reliability improvements to the GetsHitByProjectile event functionality
- In the Original Story: added a preventative check to ensure that Derek doesn’t permanently get his shirt back after he gives it to the Player during Amy’s “Scavenger Hunt” opportunity
- In the Original Story: giving Ashley an untampered soda while she is waiting for her clothes to be returned to her will result in the failure of the :Humiliate Ashley: opportunity
