Hey everyone!
I've been super eager to start sharing what's coming next for House Chores now that Beta 0.6 has concluded!
The recent update (0.6) focused a lot on rounding out what was previously started with Julie. So in terms of progression, it felt like there wasn't much of that, despite some pretty important things getting done.
For Beta 0.7, the goal is to continue ...

Short post but I uploaded a very small tweak/update to the Android version of House Chores - Beta 0.6. (See post below this one for the links!)
A few users in the past have reported a crash that usually happens when going to the hallway from the Living Room after the Day 1 video game 'event'. I found something that I think could be causing this.

Hey everyone!
Here's the next update to House Chores, Beta 0.6.0!
IMPORTANT: Out of respect for all the $5+ Patrons and the team that works so hard on House Chores, please refrain from sharing this build/link with others.
Hey everyone!
Quick little update today but the next update to House Chores should be releasing in roughly 1-2 weeks from now!
I can't give an exact release date yet because I'm hard at work with Zombie's Retreat 2 as well this month. Balancing between the two games makes it harder to predict when each one will be finished. No need to worry about delays. Both updat...

Hey everyone!
Today I'm happy to share with you all Julie's new look moving forward in House Chores!
With Julie, I wanted her to be a bit more dynamic than the initial design so her new bust comes with a more expressive set of emotions. I think this will better match her personality since she's very gaudy and exaggerated in regular conversation.
Additionally, ...

Hey Patrons!
Today I wanted to share a first look at the revamped look for Julie!
Getting a refreshed bust for Julie was important for this upcoming update because I plan to give her a second costume with her yoga outfit. Rather than using some placeholder image or something, it made more sense to go ahead and refresh that bust now!
With her new design, I wanted Julie to...

I'm (nervously) excited to share with you all a refreshed face for the next update to House Chores! Emily has finally received a re-draw that was critical for continuing on with her story. I'll explain why:
