Do you brahs remember the funny "Houston, We Have A Problem." in-development video we shared of Liz Katz climbing into the dryer last week?

You'll have to keep a steady head on your shoulders to solve this murder mystery, because the tension at the house party is heating up!

Sometimes things happen while you're making a game and they're just so weird or funny that you feel moved to record them in the moment.
One of these was the flaming head we shared as a teaser for the Stop It Step Bro alpha and another one is this.

In our latest art development stream, we had some fun using the new House Party mocap suit to make Patrick do a funny "tada" dance and spin animation.

Big news, brahs. We've had a bunch of people telling us they HATE Frank and he should be permanently removed from the party - and we completely agree that a great game is one that has absolutely no opposing force against the character.
So, to give you an instant break-the-game-button, we're planning on introducing a wild new House Party item: Anti-Frank Spray!
