Game Version?

[Jake4159]

0.10? So i guess we are back to version 0.1? LoL what is this sneaky move you devs. 0.1 = 0.10 with an extra decimal? If you want, make it 0.956765878768768768. It's atleast more legit than this stupid act.

In game versions, 0.1 does NOT equal 0.10

[Jake4159]

LoL 0.1 or 0.10 Decimals please.

It’s very common to have numbers like these in development versions. Not true to math, but it make sense it you just count and forget about the decimal.

[Jake4159]

Then, what will be the final game version if we are at 0.10 ? 0.99?

It's not a decimal number, it's a version number. These are sectioned as such:
x.yy.zz B
Where X is the major version, Y is the minor version, Z is the sub-version and B is the build number.

Note that it's not limited to just 2 numbers, Space Engineers had version numbers in hundreds.
As for your example, the "zz" are typically "hotfix" numbers (applies to Stormworks as well).

@OP:
Like it has been said, versioning is not using decimal numbers the same way math does..

For Stormworks' example, the release would be "1.0.0" as per established version numbering it has (current ver 0.10.6).

stupid act? In software development there is no agreed upon version labels and many developers use different schemes. The game is obviously not where they want it to be for a "full release" so why would they label it 1.0? The devs have been very forward with their vision and direction with this game, maybe you should take a step back and consider their openness before you start name calling over a perceived slight. This isn't Minecraft where we had 3 different version 1.4's with 0 community interaction.

I'm more of a guy who would like to speak to a guy actually greenlighting dedic server specs (i.e. "you need 5GHz CPU") lol.

who cares about the damn version number, i would like a clutch that I can use, and toggle on and off with a button, or how about having the logic/micro controller stuff unlocked? Nope that would make to much sense

So... make one? It's so easy a wee bab could do it. All you need is a numerical switchbox tied to a clutch. Couldn't be simpler. Use a microcontroller so you don't need to clutter your thing with the logic parts.

I mean, game versions give an idea to where the game progress is. Best example, Kerbal Space Program that I bought at 0.12 and knew how it was going when nearing the 1 mark. A jump from 0.9 to 0.10 when all previous updates followed a trend towards 1.0, gives a good idea where this is going. Yep. They should change their planned time to full release on the store page.

[Ra-Ra-Rasputin]

And what if like 99% of game developers they do not know when their planned full release is, because it's a creative process that's never formulaic? (Well, that is unless you're a mobile developer, then you just rip off an old game and call it a day)

I assume the best-faith interpretation for everyone, because i too was 13 once.
