House Party 0.13.0 Released to Alpha Testers

Hey guys!

Here’s House Party 0.13.0 Alpha!  Lots of cool updates in this one.  For starters, you’ll meet our new character, Leah.  She doesn’t have much of a story yet, but that’s coming soon.  In terms of story, this update adds a another story involving Patrick and Rachael with opportunities to romance either of them.

Another really cool aspect of this update is that we did away with the clunky “third hand” cursor.  You can now right-click interact with items around the house to grab them, carry them, and throw them.  Hold down right-click to charge up the throw meter.

Lastly, lots of performance and optimization stuff under the hood.  We’ll have another Alpha coming to you in the next few weeks that will polish up and finalize the stories, and then we’ll move into our Beta sprint.  Enjoy!
