Howlies Aron:3, Hmmm, that's a very odd situation; it maybe resolved by deleting the update and re-downloading the files. Please let us know if this helps or if the problem remains unresolved.
There's also the chance that the game size is too big to launch. We have reduced the overall size of the game for the latest Patreon builds (versions 66 and 67).
I really enjoyed this story, well I was enjoying it until all of a sudden it just stops and the credits appear on screen, and not just stops but stops in a weird place, I understand you haven't finished it yet but it was just a shock to all of a sudden end at that point in the story. I hope the rest comes out soon
Having the same problem as the other commentors. Try to install and get to staging app and then an error message saying the package parsing isn't working.
Good news, it's likely not your phone that's the issue. For many devices, the limit on apk sizes is 2GB; our game is just too big to run on the phone. We've explored and trimmed the file size in the latest build to under 2GB on Patreon this month (version 66). We'll see how it runs and hopefully get good feedback. Sorry for the inconvenience.
For some reason my phone always says it's "staging app" when downloading and won't ever actually install or open this. It's the only VN on here doing this so idk what you did different. It's really upsetting these guys look great but I can't do anything
There maybe something that can still be done, but I'll require more information. Can you tell me more about the updated phone you are attempting to launch our game on? Which company made it? Which model is it? Year the phone was released? Which APK launcher you are using?
It's a Google pixel 7 pro. I'm not using any special apk launcher as the installation doesn't even finish for me to attempt to open it there is always a problem just with this specific VN. Others open as soon as the download is complete so I'm really not sure what's different here

Ive downloaded several apk launchers and still cant access it. This seems to be the only VN I cant view/support? Am I SoL? Can anyone give me some tips before I just give up on HOB

I'm using its most basic launcher for everything else but when it comes to HOB I tried installing multiple apk installers. All of which said the same about HOB not being compatible. It's odd as this is the only project that doesn't seem to work on andriod. I feel I should have posted this to the discord but to see so many others having the same problem meaning it might not just be my phone says something. Was there something done to HOB that just doesn't allow newer models to see it all together? I'm lost and it doesn't make sense to me nor I'm sure to the others

hi guys i just recently finished the game and it was blast and right on time because of the what happened lol. i just want to say when and how do you guys got this missing pieces
Let's see, the first lock is a scene that happens when Julian gives a vending machine soda to Oscar. The next lock is a scene where Oscar tries to give Simon a back rub--you find this one while exploring the gym. The last lock you get by clicking on Kurt's sprite at the boxing ring when Julian is thinking about taking more pictures.
Bro, adoro este juego, enserio. El renderizado de los personajes es muy bueno. La historia en buenísima y chistosa a la vez, lo cual lo beneficia mucho. Cuantas actualizaciones les quedan para terminar la historia en si? Saludos desde argentina.
is there something I’m missing? I’ve collected Julian’s bag, camera, pen, laptop, and phone, am I meant to make him change? I can’t seem to figure out how
Thank you for the feedback Draco the Enderwolf, Yup, that's the infamous png format file that should've been jpg. We haven't messed with this scene in quite a while, and it was functioning like normal. Should be cleared up in a build or two.
Howlies ItsAlex130, sorry for any inconvenience to you in regards to this bug. Can you give us any more information in regards to it? Take any screenshots?
Righty-o, so it appears to be a background error where renpy is looking for a file type, but the pathway somehow got warped. It's a strange bug because I haven't messed with this scene for quite a while, and last time it was functioning like normal. I've compared the files on our end and the current build to verify, and they are for some reason not correct on the itchio build. My apologies again for the inconvenience this bug has caused. Please let me know if next month's free update has the same issue.
If I click 'ignore' enough times, I eventually get back to gameplay with Sam greeting Gunnie, but I don't know how much content was skipped by ignoring the errors.
Hello Wolfstar, it's me again, what happens to me this time is that there is a bug on day 4 where the game does not load the image and does not allow me to continue advancing with the story
Howlies fearaya26, My apologies for the inconvenience while playing. This issue sounds familiar, but is there any chance you could provide more information to the bug? Screenshots? Or additional text from the error message?
Howlies fearaya26, I'm sorry for any inconvenience this issue has caused you; can you provide more information for us about this problem? Which build are you trying to download? (Mac, PC, or android?) Are you saving over previous older builds? Have you updated your APK downloader recently?
Hello Wolfstar, the build I'm trying to download is Android version 1.53, it's the first time I've downloaded the game, that's all I hope this information helps you.
My best suggestion is to grab one of the free APK downloaders apps from Google Play. Sometimes renpy projects won't load without them being ran through an APK downloader first.
The visual novel is amazing and I like how it's structured it's great, the background music is great too, it's amazing how good it looks. But I would like to know if the game is really NSFW because in many scenes instead of something happening that a man would expect, it all ends up being a joke. I mean, you find two muscle men, Semi naked and Julian didn't even have a boner...
I'm sure Braford will deliver more NSFW content in future updates. Meanwhile, in regards to Julian he maybe gaining willpower and getting used to the daily visual impact of "tasty man eye candy". But who's to say how long that'll last =3
Howlies GrayBeard73, sorry but we do not offer our services on gumroad at this time. The latest game currently is available to download here: https://www.patreon.com/Braford
I downloaded the game and it was perfectly fine but then I got to a scene and it said that there was an error and there was a missing image file. Any way to fix that??
There's something wrong with the android 1.49 release. The size is almost 1gb more than what is stated on the download page and despite having 10gb of free space on my phone it won't install. Any idea on if I'm doing something wrong?
pretty fun story with decent 3D models. I would love this game more if there was just more content, updates happen at good intervals but there's just not enough content in them to keep me coming back. I will probably abandon this project and come back in 3-4 years when there's something more for me but right now its a very limited and slow-paced narrative.

我仍然无法在手机上安装此游戏，它会在安装过程中突然退出
i cant open the game. i play on pc and it says they cant open it bc the house of beef.exe file is missing...
Howlies Aron:3,
Hmmm, that's a very odd situation; it maybe resolved by deleting the update and re-downloading the files. Please let us know if this helps or if the problem remains unresolved.
After playing for a long time. I still can't find the replay scene from the Oscar show... it's very difficult 😭😭. And I like the games!
When I try to update the app it says that its not compatible. Maybe its because I have android 14?
There's also the chance that the game size is too big to launch. We have reduced the overall size of the game for the latest Patreon builds (versions 66 and 67).
I really enjoyed this story, well I was enjoying it until all of a sudden it just stops and the credits appear on screen, and not just stops but stops in a weird place, I understand you haven't finished it yet but it was just a shock to all of a sudden end at that point in the story. I hope the rest comes out soon
This is one of the only games I really enjoy. Big, beefy studs all over the place- it's like a dream for me lol.
Howlies TaylerXJoshua,
There'll be plenty more huge thick massive beefy hunky studs on the way! Thank you for playing our game =3
Hello, does anyone know how to unlock this image/scene? I would appreciate it very much. (Edit: Sorry, I was wrong, it was just an image/scene.)
Having the same problem as the other commentors. Try to install and get to staging app and then an error message saying the package parsing isn't working.

Alright so second try and still the same issue with other apk installers and thr default one
I updated my phone and the update for the game isn't compatible with my phone now
You may need to install an APK launcher, a free app from Google Play.
No i can't get it to install at all

Howlies Julover,
Did you pick up Julian's camera battery that is in between the envelopes on his shelf?
I did not, thank you!
You're welcome Julover, please let us know if you need any help in future; and thank you for playing our game =3
Realmente o Julian e o melhor protagonista de todos os vn
Ficamos muito felizes em saber que você gosta do nosso tímido fotógrafo.
Ele bugando quando fica com vergonha é o melhor
Adoramos colocar nossos personagens em situações desconfortáveis e depois ver o que acontece a seguir.

Thank you for the feedback Draco the Enderwolf,
Yup, that's the infamous png format file that should've been jpg. We haven't messed with this scene in quite a while, and it was functioning like normal. Should be cleared up in a build or two.
Hey, was curious - how often is the public build released here? Like every 2 weeks? once a month?
Yo! What is this?!! Which build is this?
I guess there will be Star Trek scene again after this picture LOL
Itsa spicy scene from the latest build on Patreon =3
Hello, I really like this VN but on day 4 I get an error and it doesn't let me continue with the rest of the story.
Howlies ItsAlex130, sorry for any inconvenience to you in regards to this bug. Can you give us any more information in regards to it?
Take any screenshots?
Umm well... this is what appears to me and it won't let me continue
Righty-o, so it appears to be a background error where renpy is looking for a file type, but the pathway somehow got warped.

Hello, I was wondering, how do you make a game like this?
The decorations and 3d model are made of 0 or they are already existing?
Anyway, i love this game, he's great.
(Please make gorilla) (^_^) /
Hello, the version 1.54 is recent
Howlies Ali sada, yes the 1.54 just came to itchio this month. Our most recent build on Patreon is ver 62.
Hello Wolfstar, it's me again, what happens to me this time is that there is a bug on day 4 where the game does not load the image and does not allow me to continue advancing with the story
Howlies fearaya26,
My apologies for the inconvenience while playing. This issue sounds familiar, but is there any chance you could provide more information to the bug? Screenshots? Or additional text from the error message?
有中文吗
抱歉，不，现在不行。
Thank you so much for new public update I love it amazing work
You're quite welcome konstantin2547 it's our pleasure to serve new content to ya =3
Cara essa parte e muito engraçado 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
O pobre Julian não viu o perigo chegando x3
cara tirando o Julian o chuck e um dos meus personagens favoritos 😉😉😉 uma pena que ele não está solteiro
Chuck realmente se movimenta, ele tem muito carisma e resistência, ao que parece =3
Mews curious.
Do you speak more than one language or using a translator?
Miau!
Tem um rino de outra estória que adora uma diversão a três ou a quatro. Mas não peguei nenhuma cena destas ainda.
help the game file is not downloaded, when it reaches 1.25 GB the download stops and does not advance anymore
Howlies fearaya26,
I'm sorry for any inconvenience this issue has caused you; can you provide more information for us about this problem?
Which build are you trying to download? (Mac, PC, or android?)
Are you saving over previous older builds?
Have you updated your APK downloader recently?
Hello Wolfstar, the build I'm trying to download is Android version 1.53, it's the first time I've downloaded the game, that's all I hope this information helps you.
My best suggestion is to grab one of the free APK downloaders apps from Google Play. Sometimes renpy projects won't load without them being ran through an APK downloader first.
I managed to download wolfstar, thanks for the idea
That's great news, fearaya26! Thank you for playing our game =3
The visual novel is amazing and I like how it's structured it's great, the background music is great too, it's amazing how good it looks. But I would like to know if the game is really NSFW because in many scenes instead of something happening that a man would expect, it all ends up being a joke. I mean, you find two muscle men, Semi naked and Julian didn't even have a boner...
I'm sure Braford will deliver more NSFW content in future updates. Meanwhile, in regards to Julian he maybe gaining willpower and getting used to the daily visual impact of "tasty man eye candy". But who's to say how long that'll last =3
A cada atualização o jogo fica incrível
Hello! Can I download the full/latest game on gumroad?
Howlies GrayBeard73, sorry but we do not offer our services on gumroad at this time. The latest game currently is available to download here: https://www.patreon.com/Braford
I downloaded the game and it was perfectly fine but then I got to a scene and it said that there was an error and there was a missing image file. Any way to fix that??
Sounds like one of those times when the image was marked as an incorrect format. We'll be sure to look into it.
When the new version release 0.57 ?
Howlies SansUT1,
Version .57 should be available on Braford's Patreon. It won't be made available here for public release for quite some time.
ok then.. the new version will release in a mouth maybe?? (Here)
Well we just made v.49 available, so in about 7 more months.
-_- Why so long?
If you like what Braford makes and want the most up to date version, please consider supporting his Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Braford
There's something wrong with the android 1.49 release. The size is almost 1gb more than what is stated on the download page and despite having 10gb of free space on my phone it won't install. Any idea on if I'm doing something wrong?
same
You may need an APK downloader app for the first time that you attempt to download the game.
Before I download this, is it an nsfw game?
Yes, it is NSFW
oxe viado, ta aqui pq
it has the tag "sex"...
pretty fun story with decent 3D models. I would love this game more if there was just more content, updates happen at good intervals but there's just not enough content in them to keep me coming back. I will probably abandon this project and come back in 3-4 years when there's something more for me but right now its a very limited and slow-paced narrative.
Thank you so much for new public update I love it amazing work and good luck working with new update house of beef
Is there any romance scenes with the main character
Not at this time, no. However, such content is coming soon. Our story with Julian is a slow burn =3
