What? The game has been divided into Devious World (mundane protagonists in fantasy/sci-fi situations) and Devious Mundanity (fantasy/sci-fi protagonists) for a long time. Like over 40 updates/months ago.
I have no clue about that, never played that game. But now its not in one zip anymore? or just one updated. Are we leave the old links in cause it supposed to be both games?

Ok, now I see the issue. I think the dev usually only includes the games that have new stuff in the update, so you'd have to go the previous update for Devious World. Saves on file size, I guess, but it's certainly inconvenient if you don't get the new version every month.

Hmm that probably means I need to leave the old links in as its Devious world v93. But then again it has the old version of the other game inside. Will probably see what to do tomorrow.

Loads, upon loads, of unfinished stories, and we have two new characters now?

Seriously?
Yes and if you'd read any part of this thread you'd know that the way Skooma writes hasn't changed so why whinge? If you don't like the amount of content just put the thread on ignore and move on.

It's 2024, two years since I've been here. Played the game for 4 minutes. Two passages has been added to the content I always look for progress on. That's maybe 6 years since I first played the game. Maybe by 2077 the game will be finished. Oh wait... it won't. If the # of Deadends are growing exponentially then... more likely dude leave this first. There's what? A couple thousand deadends in the game already?

ya'll really going off on the concept of an author writing a bunch of (smutty) short stories and coming back to them whenever muse and whimsy strikes

For some context he had to split the Htmls because of Twine 1 issues with the amount of text in the game. So now when he updates he just uploads whichever htlms got changes. It's all essentially the same game/short story collection just with it split up based on content so that twine stops having issues for him.

Am I crazy or was there a male version of Devious World at some point? Raking my hair searching for it :cry:

Is it supposed to be missing from the folder...?

Last month's, DW v93 in the OP, should have it. If it's not there, you should only have to search a few pages back from here to find where v92 was linked and that should definitely have it.

As mentioned above on this page, Skooma only posts the files that have actually been updated/changed. So this month only DM got new content, nothing from DW.

so which one has more content? a36 or v93?
It's not two different versions, it's two different groups of characters that had to be split into separate files due to engine limitations. World is normal player characters, and Mundanity is sci-fi/superhero player characters.

So yeah, June was... not great.

While I had a ton of great ideas and initially had some great momentum going on them, issues such as power outages and illness came up and slammed the brakes on more than a few. I recovered (fairly literally) in the last part of the month but still.

So to sum up in brief:

Jamie has a new key from the box he can use, a new dream in the journal, and can recognize the demon from the other journal dream as a new form.

Cyan has a new storyline that can be started from checking her email. (The html file is the same as the incremental since I didn't manage to add any more content after it.)

There's a new female character Mundanity-side, Marissa Mallone. (Her portions are heavily in need of typo fixes and whatnot, I think I might have written them while getting/still sick?)

And Michika now has options for taking out a loan to fix the intrusion ship on Karnol.

File is or .

The wrong Devious Mundanity file was included in the public release, this is the proper one.
