I am using butler to publish my game and then play my game in an iframe on my website.
The reason I am using butler is because I can keep the same Upload ID for the iframe URL and then I don't have to publish my website every time I update my game. That was the answer to the problem according to this post: https://itch.io/t/1052016/embedded-links-breaks-when-updating-my-game
The problem is that I don't see updates to my game when I play it.
- I am positive that my changes are being pushed from my PC (using butler) because I can go to itch.io and download the files. The files that itch.io has are updated.
- The embed URL is not being changed (good thing) when I upload new files. I can go to the Distribute in itch.io and the embed URL iframe is all the same as it was.
- I don't have multiple versions of my game. This is an html5 game (I also tried a Windows executable game)and I have the box checked to make it playable in the web browser.
- I am positive that my website is displaying the correct iframe. I can see in the debug tools in Chrome that I have the correct embed URL from itch being loaded.
I should add that the game shows correctly when I play it directly on itch.io, but the iFrame is not getting the updates.
Is there a chance it just takes more time and changes are not immediate?
