At some point there will be a "last" update, right?
Sadly, nowadays the way it works in the games industry is like this: you need to keep your staff working on a project at any given time - and by that I mean ALL the employees (artists, directors, everyone). Otherwise you're paying people for doing nothing, which isn't profitable. The only alternative then would be to lay them off (which is unfortunately what happens more often than not, if a studio cannot afford the extra work).

So Eek! are now in this weird place where they're starting to work on Office Party, but it's still early in development, so not everyone on the team needs to be involved. What does the rest of the team do? Just sit idly, twiddling their thumbs? Well... they were probably relegated to dish out these (frankly sometimes nonsensical) small updates for House Party.

And as long as Office Party's development isn't in "full swing" so to speak... those "nonsensical" updates will continue.

It's a vicious cycle where the companies just try to come up with new reasons to not fire their employees, and it's kinda disheartening. But this is exactly what happens whenever you grow too big, and get too top-heavy (or blast through all of the money you've earned too quickly, and suddenly realize: oh shit... we kinda still owe to the players).

Just a quick heads-up for all mod users: apparently, no currently available MelonLoader version (as far as I tested and can tell) is able to run with House Party 1.0.6 - they all result in a crash after the initial logo screen. So even though I already updated my FDC mod to the current Assembly, there's not much I can do until MelonLoader itself gets another update.

Use version 1.0.3 in the meantime.
bad news

If they keep adding DLCs, that's true. But they won't do so forever. I was not talking about the next year or so but "sometime" in the feauture, not before Office Party is on the way.

Dang, it's a shame I already deleted my installers for 1.03R2. But I kept the ones for the Halloween version, that's something.
Also I managed to make a backup copy of the insalled game :)

30page and no save data
can someone share it? i dont have much time to fap
That shows some complete misunderstanding about how the game works.
Sure, let's give you some save data from AFTER the sex scenes :p

If you really just want to see people baning, there ist "intimacy" console command.
Open the console and type "help intimacy" to see how it works.

Latest version here is 1.0.3, where was 1.0.4 & 1.0.5?

4 was alpha, 5 was beta. Only 6 made it to those sites which host only final/stable versions and apparently no one with access to alpha or beta versions was willing to share.
You can never count on all versions making it to a pirate site. If you always want the newest version, you need either to subscribe to Patreon or buy it somewhere, where those are available to the public.

It seems the only purpose of 1.0.3R2 was to remove the Halloween decorations, but it didn't have any significant content or bugfixes.

they were beta's. It's 1.0.6 stable release on Steam and Itch.io
...and and gamejolt and Epic.

However, Epic and gamejolt do not offer the uncensor patch, gamejolt users need to buy the patch on itch.io and copy it to the gamejolt version. I suspect that it will also work for the Epic version.
As far as I can tell, all versions are identical, once installed.

Content wise, yes. The Assembly though (i.e. the core runtime or whatever you wanna call it) is partly obfuscated, and those parts differ between platforms. This is pretty much irrelevant for people who aren't mod developers however, so I guess it's fair to say they're "superficially identical" :)

The latest version of your mod replaced the assembly file anyway :)

However, I compared files between itch and gamejolt a couple of times in the past, they really are identical and as long as one is not interestes in achievements he can pretty much use any of these files, as long as it's the same game version.

This is exactly how I circumvented the entire "MIMIMI your mod doesn't work for me" problem :D I am basically packing the Steam Assembly together with the mod. It's not very big, surprisingly, so... shouldn't matter that much.

So, in essence: YES all the files between all platforms are technically interchangable. BUT to make it work, you'd need to know which ones to pick. Certain files depend on others. If you look at what I bundled into my mod, it'll become obvious.
