House Party 0.12.0 Released to Alpha Testers

Hey guys,

Here’s House Party 0.12.0.  It’s one of our most content-packed updates to date.  As you can tell from the screenshot above, all of the character models have been reworked.  Most of them are not 100% finished or still need tweaking, so you will notice some odd hair movement at times and possibly small artifacts, and some are on iterations of revisions and not the final models yet.  However, you will notice much more detail in the skin, hair, eyes, and pores.  We are using subsurface scattering shaders as well, so the light reacts to the skin and eyes much more realistically.  Eventually they will all be getting a wardrobe “upgrade” as well.

There’s a brand new Madison story (which we think is one of our most fun stories to date) as well, and 7 new achievements.  

We’ll be adding optimization and polish to this version over the next few weeks to roll it into beta before we move on to our next cycle, which will center around Patrick’s character.

Enjoy!
