House of Hellish Harlots website is fixed?

I think it might be fixed.  After ringing around it seems like a cached version got stuck somewhere.  I got them to manually clear it on Friday.  Rang them again today when I wasn't seeing any changes on my test machine.  Was made to look rather foolish when clearing the local browser cache/viewing in an incognito window and did see the updated version.

Web design is fun. :D

Oh well, hopefully the problem is fixed now and you should be able to see the changes at houseofhellishharlots.com.

You might also notice a few changes.  There is an option to play the latest version, but this is password protected with the password given out on Patreon/SubscribeStar.

The public build is also available.  This should now be at v0.038.

While I've been focused on the website, I thought it would be a good time to cross some other things off the ToDo list.  There is now a small harlot gallery featuring artwork I and others (okay, just Mark45 at the moment) have had commissioned of some of the harlots.  I'm hoping to add to it.

There's also a tab with all my books.  Man's gotta pay bills and eat.

Anyway, hopefully the issues are over and the website is now updated for everyone.  (If not, try clearing your local browser cache or an incognito window.  You'll know you have the new version as there are now 2 "Play" buttons on the welcome page - latest and public.)

As we've established, I'm pretty much a rank amateur when it comes to the web design side of things, so if you run into issues - eg pictures loading too slowly because I put the wrong file up, let me know in the comments below.  Any feedback much appreciated.

I'm hoping it's fixed now... 

House of Hellish Harlots Website still not updating

Yup, I'm aware of it.

I can see the lack of updating on my backup laptop, so I can at least track the problem now (rather than being in blissful ignorance as it looks fine on my regular computer).

I phoned the contest host people on Friday, but whatever they tried doesn't appear to have worked, so I'll keep pestering them today and over the week until it's fixed.

While I was mucking around with the website, I made a few updates.  More on that when people can actually see them!

For now I see many phone calls and waiting on hold in my future. :'(

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.

Try Again with House of Hellish Harlots - This Time to v0.039

Okay, something seems to have gone wrong with the last public update of House of Hellish Harlots.  Enough people have reported only seeing v0.037, so it looks like something didn't go through.

I'm still not entirely sure what's gone wrong.  I did notice that Elementor appears to have taken control of the shortcode text box I was using to load in the embedded Twine .html, which it wasn't before.

I've tried updating to v0.039 (just the embedded file, not the changelog).

I now see v0.039 when I load up https://houseofhellishharlots.com/ and hit play.  What do you see?

Are People Having Problems with the new House of Hellish Harlots v0.038 Release?

I thought I'd make a post on this as I've received multiple comments on it.

If you check the House of Hellish Harlots website and hit play, are you seeing v0.037 or v0.038?

https://houseofhellishharlots.com/game/

On the 1st of the month I did as I always do, uploaded v0.038 and hit update, then deleted v0.037 from the file system (because the game file is pretty big).  When I check, I see v0.038.

A lot of people are reporting they're only seeing v0.037.  I don't know if this problem is still occurring or what might have caused it.

Anyone with more web experience know what it might be?

(My guess would be people are seeing an old version cached somewhere, but my web-design-fu isn't good enough to be 100% on it.)

House of Hellish Harlots v0.038

A new month, a new House of Hellish Harlots release.

The public website demo is now up to v0.038.

This adds:
- New Harlot: The energy bunny Leppi Navitas.
- Repeat visit functionality for Succuba.
- Amoura D'Coeur's much more dangerous repeat visit scenario.

The second half of Amoura D'Couer's scenario is something I know people have been waiting for for a while, so I hope it delivers.

As always, the public demo can be found on the website here:
https://houseofhellishharlots.com/

If you want to support the project and my other writing, I have a Patreon and SubscribeStar.  Subscribers there get new versions two months early and can influence the order new harlots get added with semi-regular polls.

They were given v0.040 yesterday, a small update that adds one new harlot - Hati Krim.  She's a blue-skinned alien (-looking) babe that specialises in erotic cream massage.

This is a small update.  Currently I'm running into issues with the project being so big the Twine Editor lags.  Until I've solved that, I'll be putting out single-harlot release and then hoping to catch up later in the year.

I hope you enjoy playing with the new harlots.  Leppi is very appropriate for the year of the rabbit and reasonably friendly in comparison to the others.

House of Hellish Harlots v0.037

Happy New Year!

New year, new release.

The public demo version of House of Hellish Harlots has been updated to v0.037.  You can play it here:
https://houseofhellishharlots.com/

I was busy that month writing the "In The Red Light Backrooms" (long) short story, so this is a fairly short update that adds one new harlot to the House.

Ch'oojrana
She is a blue-skinned suckerboob (they originally appeared in a H-space Bestiary short).  Her name describes pretty much what she is and does.  Don't be fooled by her friendly disposition.  How to survive her is fairly cryptic, so expect to be drained to death by her lovely boobs more than once.

Patreon and SubscribeStar are two releases ahead.  I dropped v0.039 on them last night.  After a couple of lean monthly releases I spent more time on HoHH in December.  v0.039 adds 3 new harlots - the black and red artificial being 'symbiotes' Negralima-V and N-Carnizadalama, and the dancing lamia Cerastesia.

Overall 2022 felt pretty good for me writing-wise.  House of Hellish Harlots has turned out to be a much bigger project than originally intended, but I've kind of accepted that and just kept plugging away at it in a reasonably disciplined manner.  It now has 64 harlots in there, and each scenario is about the same length as a regular short story.  That's a lot of sexy succubi and monster girls!

After Excessica closed down, I republished all my old ebooks under my own personal account with new covers.  It was good to get them back up.  I still need to make those available as paperbacks, so hopefully early in 2023.  The same for a 7th collection.  I need to write 4 new stories.  That didn't quite happen at the end of 2022 as I got distracted and wrote "In The Red Light Backrooms" instead.  On the positive side, that means less stories needed for 8th/9th collections, but I would like to get a 7th collection out ASAP.  It has been a while since I've put a new book out.

Anyway, we're now in 2023 and I hope it will be wonderful for everyone!
