We also added more clothing options with achievements. Derek can now start with the goodbye kitty underwear and/or Madison's dress if you have finished the Solar Flare (new) achievement. &...

Hey Guys! We've got another new version of the HDRP Upgrade and Character Customization Beta Release for you!
We've added support in the customizer to clone the current preset or group that is currently selected! This way you can start from a saved set if you'd like, instead of always starting from scratch.
You can now change the color of the reindeer hats and Hall...

Hey Guys!
We've got a new version of the Character Customization Beta Release for you!
We tweaked the Foreground FPS Cap option in the graphics menu, so that it can be enabled now even when V-Sync is on. However, V-Sync will override the Foreground FPS Cap when it is enabled. We also made the FPS...

This version has mostly bug fixes for issues that you have brought to our attention -- Thank you!
And, we also have added FPS cap support in the graphics settings, and reset graphic settings. The best option for Foreground FPS is still typically to use V-Sync/G-Sync/FreeSync if your system supports it. The Background FPS limit...

Hey guys!
We've fixed a lot of bugs in the game from the HDRP update and in the character customization menu as well! We've also added some eye customization support!
You should be able to play through the Liz Katz Murder Mystery content for the most part now! There are still a few bugs left, but we're picking them off.

Hey guys!
We've made some improvements since the Alpha build on the 12th and we're ready to share it with you! It's still very early stage Beta, but we think it's ready enough for you to have some more fun in the customizer menu and to enjoy the upgraded graphics and some new fluid support!
We've been shifting our focus to upgrading the engine for Office Party!

We've got some good stuff for you in this one.

We added a new mechanic where you can burn a few objects (hint: you can also burn these later on in the DLC) in the fire outside, and in the fireplace.
We fixed a lot of bugs!
I think those are mostly the big ones. We're all scrambling to get our "wait just one more things" in for release tomorrow! ...

Once you’ve finished all subquests (and successfully completed at least three), it’s time to approach Liz and see if you have enough evidence to crack this case!
Together, you’ll develop a master plan to catch this crook once and for all! You’re gonna trick them, and you’re gonna smoke ‘em!
There’s a couple of ways to do this (we’ll let you explore these creative choices for yourselves). And some will be duds, but one will be the winner. Smoke ‘Em And You Got ‘...

On Thursday, we showed off Liz Katz's incredible new outfit coming to her expansion pack!
Based on the elf cosplay that won her IGN's Best Cosplay at Wondercon in 2012, this fantasy warrior style elf outfit is going to be so different from the norm in House Party... in the best way!

Is it getting hot in here, or is it just me? No, dood, actually, I think the party and the mystery are heating up. Literally.
Once you collect your first game-changing clue in "Stop it Step Bro", you'll start to see some signs that something else is afoot in the house. The temperature's on the rise...and it's not because of your steamy charisma.
While you can get lost in the heat, lose your shirt, and simply dance the night away with Stephanie, what kind of detective would you be ...
