When they hit 1.1.99 .... expansion time 1.2.0 :)

Why would you think that?

[Morsk]

We get engine updates they make for the expansion, as they don't want to split the codebase, but it's mostly bugfixes + API improvements for modders. The mods are the real updates for now.

Not really. They do bug fixes here and there, but no real major patches anymore. That being said, the game is in a pretty solid state and has huge mod support.

The devs have already announced an upcoming expansion so I suspect their efforts are spent there.

Besides the fact it's probably just a cheerful joke, it does make sense. The closer we are to expansion the less likely they are to drop a non-expansion update or feature big enough to be worth jumping a milestone, so witch each passing day it's more likely that base-game update coming aside the expansion would be indeed the 1.2 update.

And even if not... who cares? It's a happy little wink post. Why would you contest that?

Someone might take it as facts. It's Steam.

Edit: There could be a 1.1.207 before 1.2.

It is a too good to be true joke. But they are definitly aiming for that.

Someone want to calculate the average time between every update? That could give us a good estimated period we could expect the release if we take some degrees of freedom in account.

what about version 1.1.111?

sure i doubt they will find another 30 or so updates from the current experimental (1.1.87), since as mentioned the game is insanely polished and most updates are fixes for rare bugs likely found by specific mods, or additions to the modding interface

but 1.1.111 - that's nice :-)

Just skip using 1.2 as the milestone for the expansion.
And instead make its release version carry the version number 1.3.37

nice - but you know how committed to making improvements and fixes these guys are - as perfect as that version would be, i am sure they wouldn't be able to stop themselves from up-revving

and i suppose maybe they would then coin a new term for the masses - leeb - just slightly more polished than something considered leet ;-)

There's a solution for that:
upgrade to version 3.13.37

[GreenBeanN1]

Release date 13 march 2037
64k resolution
virtual reality
smell
touch

The only think lacking is immortality.
With an uncertain release date on the roadmap:
7-7-77

Hehe.
