Not a fan of the new force-field visuals. My space base is surrounded by them and it looks terrible now. Just another superficial change that no one ever asked for. By the way, off topic (except that it's part of the thread title), but 1.10 should not come after 1.9 1.9 is > 1.1 --- That's how decimals work. It makes you look a bit uneducated when you do something like this.
in Game Development its pretty normal that it goes to 1.10, 1.11, 1.12 Thats how versions number work
Well... maybe I'm the one that's uneducated in how game developers use decimals then... but to an average joe like me it looks like someone doesn't understand numbers. Or can't plan version numbers better. Anyway, it's secondary to my topic, and obviously not important to anyone but you guys, I guess. But to my point, I'm not a fan of the new forcefields. They make everything look blurry beyond them. That's my feedback.
This isn't a standard decimal number. In a standard decimal number there is only 1 decimal. In version numbering it is x.x.x in this case 1.10.0 Notice how that is higher than 1.9.14?
Honestly, no. I guess I don't understand bizarro-world numbers. To me it just looks wrong, but I'll take your word for it. Like I said, I guess I'm the uneducated one with this kind of thing.
1.9.x is lower than 1.10.x 9 is lower than 10. Not hard to understand. Again, not a standard number scheme as a standard number only has 1 decimal.
Games like World of Warships, Star Wars the Old Republic (https://www.swtor.com/patchnotes) or 7 Days to Die... they all using such a numbering system. Even windows does it...Win 8 - to 8.1..remember?
It's better to think of it like dates. You have year/month/day. So 2023/10/1 is later than 2023/9/14. It goes expansion.major.minor like that. The periods are to tell the difference. Typically the first number is reserved for massive game updates, such as going from beta to release or a new expansion. The second number is typically used for major content updates. The last number is changed whenever there's any update even a small one. This version numbering is standard across the software industry and allows for telling massive/major/minor versions apart. It's not a raw number, it's more like a date.
Hello! It helps to educate oneself before making assumptions about things Go ahead and read this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_versioning) if you're interested in learning how and why software versions are numbered the way that they are. Summarily, the way Eleon has numbered their versions is perfectly in-line with other software studios, and is not only logical, but is entirely expected. People learn new things everyday, so there's no need to be ashamed of missing knowledge. As long as one is willing to admit to, and learn from, their mistakes, then one can continue to grow as a person.
