The 20.3 in the post title refers to the version of House Party it's compatible to play with. I've been using 19.4 of CSC to create the story, which works fine with House Party 20.3 (the only thing that's really missing is the ability to trigger threesomes).

Update: I admit I've been a little sidetracked by adding features to free roam, but now that it's nicely wrapped up, my attention is turning to the main quests. Constructing quests seems to take me about a full day each.

Added:
- The quest "Vicious Vince" is available after his arrival. Completing it opens up the option to sell drugs to party guests.
- Guests will buy the following:

• Alexa: ecstasy
  Vanessa: marijuana
  Dresden: cocaine
  Abbie: ecstasy
  Reagan: nothing
  Susan: nothing
  Matt: ecstasy
  Eva: marijuana
  Ophelia: cocaine
  Suki: nothing

- For now, all guests will pay $100 for their respective drugs. The cooldown time until you can sell to them again is two minutes.
- Suki's quest "The Devil Wears Prada" can be started by being in Photographer Mode in front of her. She spots your camera and asks if you could shoot her new apparel.
- The Achievement Tablet can trigger one of the two Final Ending cutscenes. This is only so beta testers can watch and give me feedback - upon full release, the cutscenes will occur only as part of the final quest with Vanessa.
- The cutscenes are custom-made by me, not the pre-rendered ones you find in the Original Story. I've used a blend of techniques to create a "camera" as well as different angles and cinematic effects. If anyone is interested, I can write up a quick guide how to achieve this.

Fixed:
- Vince now arrives after ten minutes of in-game time instead of five minutes
- Susan's quest "Sleepless Suzy" is pushed back so it can only be initiated after obtaining "Vicious Vince".
- Achievement Tablet has been updated to track new quests

Update: Happy Holidays! We are five days from the beta release of Nemesis Party.

I removed the "random events" and "romance penalties and boosts" sections from the original forum post. To keep it updated with all the features there, it would've made the list ridiculously long. Instead, I replaced it with a "To-Do List" so you can track my progress with the story.

I'm not sure if anyone is reading these notes, but if you are, I have a question: Is there any demand for Leah, Stephanie, Dan or Arin models to be at the party? I'm thinking of adding one more guest to make the party feel more busy.

Added:

- Giving red flower to guests gives -1 romance, but if you wait twenty minutes, it'll bloom to blue flower, which gives +3 romance
- Final Ending cutscene is no longer triggered by the tablet; talk to Vanessa instead
- You can now extinguish the firepit (whoop-dee-doo)

Fixed:
- Minor issue where guests' reaction to Vince's arrival was occurring at random times
- Minor issue where Matt wasn't giving you the ability to pants everyone at the party
- Minor issue where Dresden wouldn't stop running after pantsing you
- Minor issue where you'd wake up immediately after being knocked out during Vince's arrival
- Minor issue where Reagan was stuck in a pose after entering free roam

For Leah and Stephanie?
Sure there is. Especially Stephanie.

Okay! Stephanie will probably be added in after the full version is complete.

Update: Surprise! The Nemesis Party beta version has been posted (on the forums only) a little earlier than planned.

A few things to note:
- Save often since I'm sure there's plenty of bugs I haven't found yet
- Some dialogue options will lead you to dead ends as they are incomplete quests
- Feel free to leave feedback on story content as well as gameplay!
- Have fun!

Some early bugs:

If you load a saved game, the music does not play (this was after entering the house, before going to the bedroom).
Most of the items in the house have the default "Inspect message".

Gamble quest references "Patrick", not "Matt".

Sometimes characters do not react on Talk. For example, after obtaining a gamble quest from Matt, talking to him provides no reaction.

Sometimes characters only have non-repeatable dialog.
For example, after talking to Matt, talking to Vanessa gives you two responses about Matts's gambling. If you talk to her again, you get just the other response you did not take the first time. And on 3rd talk, you just get a goodbye response.

If you start sex with Regan there is no way to remove the player's clothes. Not event whip out penis.
Also, player org meter does not raise during sex, so he can not even end sex with Regan, making you stuck.

EDIT: I think this happens if you only partially undress her first and then use Doggy option. If I undress her fully first, then she will undress player.
Note that remove panties option does not do anything, since removing pants automatically removes both pants and panties.

EDIT2: It is interesting that if you start sex scene correctly, then Doggy option is missing. I guess there is some wrong condition for it to appear at the wrong time in quest.

I know it is not part of the quest, but it would be funny if you could throw a ping pong ball on Dresden during beer pong bet, and it actually triggers something.

I had a situation where Vanessa totally bugged out, walking in circles.

By using charinfo console command it shows that happens since she wanted to roam to Frank, who was not yet at the party.

I think you need to set Frank NPC to have IgnoredByOthers state, so that other characters do not roam to him. At least until he arrives at the party.

That issue with dialog responses being one time can block your progress.

For example, if someone is around at a location where you want to have sex with Regan and she refuses, next time you will be missing Oh Yeah response, making the whole quest blocked.

Reading notepad to check for Chicken recipes, does not do anything currently.

EDIT:
Actually Read on notepad does not do anything.
But using the player's action Recipe Notepad works.

I'm assuming the introduction is one of the parts that's unfinished? Trying to play that resulted in Abbie walking around with no shirt on and unable to talk to me...

Skipping to free roam, I was able to have one conversation with most characters. I got the quest to give Eva a bottle of merlot. Did that, now no one will talk to me and there doesn't seem to be anything else to do.

Dialogue seems well written (at least up to the point I'm at where talk no longer does anything).

Edit: I figured out what went wrong in the introduction. I didn't notice the quest to sit on the bed. After a while, Abbie appeared from nowhere and started wandering around... Should probably keep her frozen someplace (maybe locked in the bathroom) until the player does what they're supposed to do.
