But that is the point... why spoil things? It is easy to figure out, after doing inspect at least once.
Thats true, and I also want to add that to be perfectly honest, there are so many things to do in this game, that having to explain everything would make this thread an endless mess of mini-guides.
House Party is pretty damn big, for a game that is only limited to a single House and a back yard.
So yes, there's no need to explain every little thing, especially easy ones like that one.
I can't help but think that all the effort that went into this game would have been better spent as a VN: The wonky 3D engine doesn't really add anything but work for the Dev.

exactly what i said.
the meshes he's using are very poorly made and the blend shapes which are used for facial animations and other stuff are poorly constructed.
also using the commands to change the size of a model's bodypart confirms this. If you for example change their legs to 2x size, they'll morph on a locked axis Y. So when they're standing it looks like they're taller but when they're sitting it looks like they're fatter.
I beg to disagree. It is free roaming adventure game at its heart, not an VN or anything similar.
Plus it has its own story creator, as a bonus.
^And what does that mean in common English?
I am not modeller and have no idea what does terms mean.

Hello, i was wondering, so i have a issue with this game, for some reason this game make me dizzy when play it for above 15 min, i'm talking fiscally dizzy not ironically, some other games make feel same, like F.E.A.R and other games, this is called Video Game Motion Sickness, so i tried to prevent this getting rid of the music in the background and it works at least for the first 30 min of playing the game, so to make it short, any one know if there is a video setting that i can turn it off that make me able to play it better?
sorry my English.
sorry my English.
If you dont know what meshes are, it will be hard for someone to explain it to you properly. Best to just google it.
And yes what fzdc said is absolutely correct.
Also, characters being reduced down to one skinned mesh, probably means that they are all effectively using the same mesh, its just the sizes and values that differ. That way, there is no need for significantly different calculations to be made for the different meshes, so processing is done faster.
Thats my understanding at least.

What do you mean you can't prove an opinion false? OF course you can. If you tell me it is your opinion that steel is made of wood, I can very easily prove you wrong. Of course an opinion can be false.
I'd super disagree. There's literally innumerable generic VN's out there. Personally, i like that this one is open/3d like it is. So many random things can happen in this one, like one character wandering into a room while you are trash talking them (which can do everything from ruin your relationship with them to cause a game over). Shit is dynamic.
Yeah, I was using a pretty high-powered Lenovo gaming laptop until about 4 months ago. Game was almost unplayable on that thing. For a while, I had a fun issue where Stephanie's dress moving around would drop me to 12 FPS if it was in my line of sight. So, much of my game, I had to roleplay as Stephanie's ex who didn't realize that she was at the party, and couldn't bear the sight of her because of his disgust for her dancing and her poor decisions in life. Which, you know, was fun in its own right. I could only play for about 20 minutes at a time before my laptop would nuke itself and shut down from overheating.
Upgraded to a desktop in January, opened it up, runs at full graphics, no less than 55FPS at worst. The game is pretty poorly optimized, but I'm not surprised. It's selfish as it gets, but I'd rather them add new content than spend time on updates relating to optimization.
He means to say that you cant prove entirely subjective statements false.
For example: "Punk Rock music sounds awful." <- Go ahead and prove this opinion false.
You cant, and thats the point. It can neither be proven right, nor wrong. Its just a matter of preference, personal taste.
And for the record, your example "your opinion that steel is made of wood" is just a self-contradictory claim. A statement of fact that has an inherent contradiction. I.e. steel cannot be made out of wood, by definition. If it were, it wouldnt be called steel, but wood.
TL;DR; You can only prove opinions false, if they are presented as statements of fact, not if they are presented as subjective opinions that are separate from facts.
I hope this helps.
I don't know how to explain it...
for the blend shapes:
Imagine you're trying to open a car door. But it's animation is locked Horizontally. So when you open it, instead of just rotating normally it stretches out like a noodle.
Basically the object is not allowed to move in certain xyz coordinates so to compensate for this and not break the look, the game distorts the object.
Like those Garry's mod videos where their necks go wibbly wobbly.
as for the mesh:
no clue how to explain it other than it's messy. Imagine a messy teen's room that looks like a tornado went through.
(a mesh is the shell of an object. The wireframe. the faces. The design.)
So um anyone have full save for House party steam versions, my save files is corrupted and i went to delete it so lol
