Still Working on House of Hellish Harlots Update Problem

This one still has me baffled.  I managed to bring a geriatric old laptop out of decommission, so I'm seeing what everyone else is seeing - the Changelog has updated to v0.038, but pressing "play" loads up v0.037.

I've tried flushing the cache on wordpress and a temporary kludge fix of creating a new page to hold the embedded twine.  Neither seems to have worked, so I'm scratching my head.

I'll keep at it and see if I can get this fixed.  Any helpful comments that have an idea of what the problem might be are much appreciated.


ETA: Still mystified.  Tried flushing the cache.  Tried switching CDN on and off.

It doesn't appear to be just the play game section.  I made some further updates to the changelog page to fix the background image in place.  That doesn't show up on my other laptop either.  At the moment it seems like every change isn't being propagated out and I have no idea why.

I'll keep working on it.

  1. The url https://houseofhellishharlots.com/wp-content/uploads/embed-twine/The-House-of-Hellish-Harlots-v0.038.html however works as intended...
    Since your changes to the main file do not propagate to the web, maybe you are editing the WRONG file? It might be so, I have no experience with Wordpress but you could try debugging the main handler that returns the html document on '/game/' url. Log the file header, file metadata, file path etc.

    1. It would be funny if MEH is editing some local file oh his personal PC, so he always sees the changes. But the original file that the server gives to the world is a completely different one

    2. I'm logged in to Wordpress when I'm doing it. I'm assuming the changes are there rather than local. It is a strange one. I tried logging in on backup laptop. The changes are there, but it was showing v0.037. I made a change and it did go to v0.038 on that machine. Then I tried to update the changlog and it promptly reverted back. Something is definitely borked somewhere.

  2. Speaking of current release (0.038), is it even possible to beat Amoura on the 2d visit?

    1. There's a sort of loophole where if the player was out of semen for the first visit, Amoura will treat the second visit as if it was the first (but the 3rd will still be lethal).

      Otherwise, no. That's her agreement with The Madam (her 'rules' effectively). She won't harm the player at all on the first visit, but can do anything she likes if he returns to her.
