What's Going On With House Party's Microwave?! (+ Dev Process)
🕑 Added 2023-04-14 16:45:01 +0000 UTCCheck out our new House Party teaser below - with some bonus Patron-only details included!
Watch the new teaser video here!
It seems like something strange is going on with Madison's microwave… Is it malfunctioning on its own, or is that something you're responsible for? 👀
Either way, the old thing is sparking up a storm, and seems pretty dangerous! Seriously, does that atrocious appliance EVER work properly? You ought to step in and stop that thing before someone gets hurt!
Plus, it looks like someone is cooking tomato soup in there…or something. Yuck, it smells. And it looks like they left it in for a little too long… What a mess! 💥
(If you're an alpha or beta-tier patron, you already have a clear idea of what went on here...)
But, without getting into any spoilers for our Patrons at large, let's share a bit of information about the dev process!
Our artists reworked the original party microwave to give it some extra functionalities to allow you to put a new item that you'll get in Liz's story inside! Using the microwave may score you a clue...but at what cost...?
We amped up the original microwave with an awesome new active cooking animation, a splatter effect (and messy version), sound effects, and some sparks - to let you know the object might be doing a little more than planned!
Should you step in and stop it? Well, that's up to you...
Check out this early dev video if you'd like to see how the spark effect and sound effects looked in our first version!
Our goal was to make the microwave look shocking and to have the overall effect look pretty gruesome, but in a surprising and funny way. Hopefully you're looking forward to seeing the full event in-game!
And, if you haven't seen it already, why not? You can go playtest it right now as an alpha or beta tester tier Patron, and you can upgrade your level of support any time!
Go see it for yourself, brahs!

At the end of the clip I was half expecting the door to open in slow motion and then... well, you know the elevator scene from The Shining :D
