UPDATE

You may or may not hear that the workshop is (Not really) nearing it's release, and with that the dossier is completely getting replaced with a new app called "Mad Card." Which will be the Workshop version of the same Dossier mentioned. Speaking of the Dossier, yeah I had to reuploaded the Dossier since Signal has deleted the og one. So now you can continue the dossier making until the workshop update.

Also, by the time Workshop releases. I will not be making any further updates to this changelog due well... workshop update almost completely killing NEM. All that stuff. That is all I have to say in this update so uh... enjoy the reuploaded Dossier ig? idk.


Welcome to the "unofficial" steam version of the change-logs for Not Enough Madness and The MPN Dossier. Here you will find what's new and what's changed. It is heavily recommended to download the original mod and program and give them your support. Also heavily recommended

NEM: https://exdefault.itch.io/notenoughmadness
Dossier: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1D90A_x7slw2zn2HCRyKYD-tpRAPogTDx/view?usp=sharing


This is no way associated with Xdefault and Dark-signal, this is only for people who are want a quick and easy way to get the mod/program's change-log without the hassle of joining a Discord server just to know what changes there are to the Mod/Program.
