discussion Anti-Social & Lurker - Hideout spot

[dimodamo]

I'm just going to vent a little by ranting about all the crappy AI games we've had to update over the last few days, but mostly... about how developers are obsessed with making up version numbers for their games.

Look, I’m not a dev, and I’m nobody to tell anyone how to use the versioning system for game updates, but there are some nutcases out there who do things that make me wonder if arbitrarily throwing numbers into the version is some kind of fetish.

Because the system is super simple:
- First number: game status—Alpha, Beta, Full.
- Second number: Content update.
- Third number: Patch for the current content that can modify, add, or remove content, as well as bug fixes.
- Fourth number: Hotfix and minor fixes.

If I tell you that Game X is at version 0.5.2.1, it’s easy to understand that it’s a game that isn’t complete, is on its fifth content update, and has received 2 patches and 1 hotfix.

But then there are some that come out with versions like 11.400.3 or 0.0.400.1 (These are real), and I’m supposed to figure out what the heck that means.



I’m not saying they have to use a strict numbering system (that would be nice, but it won’t happen), but at least follow some kind of logic—something understandable.

Don't mind me—like I said, I'm just venting. I'm going to play Doom to blow off some steam the way God meant it to be done, slaughtering hordes of hellish monsters with the most brutal violence possible while I just enjoy watching the screen and the floor fill up with blood, severed limbs, and guts.

Funny you mention Doom, by random chance I heard about a weapons wad called "Gardevoir has a gun", it's was both fun and hilarious, basically you play as a gardevoir with anger issues, the angrier she gets, the faster she shoots, and God helps us when she grabs a berzerk pack

Also, she doesn't use a rocket launcher, she herself shoots the rockets with her mind...

Im back from the beach. Just after complaining about being to hot on here i was kidnapped and taken to the beach. 2+ hours each way. But i got to swim in the north sea so not complaining about being hot any more lol.

What has everyone else been up to today?

The last time I went to the sea was 5 years ago

The worst tagging system is the one that turns anything into a tag. Wall tag, table tag, garden tag, front garden tag, front garden tag but there's a fence

I also want to add that what I'm getting at is that tagging systems are useless if they are not consistent and enforced. At least with proper enforcement and implications (one tag automatically adds another related tag) you can still easily find shit you're looking for with over tagging system.

Hows everyone doing lately? been a couple days since ive checked in.

I must be blind, cuz I had 800+ Activity Coin I coulda thrown in the vault to start accumulating


What would I want to use AC for if I already have most of the rank thingys

You can now convert them into the other coin type, so its just a little boost if you already have everything you want.

Happy thirsty Thursday everyone.

10:1 doesn't look so scary anymore. But for me, as a newbie, it's still pointless.

There isn't, really, any strict rule for software versioning, major.minor.patch is pretty widespread but you also have big companies just doing stuff like year.major.minor.patch or any other specific to them systems. And tbh anyone making a quick ai game probably isn't exactly a software dev

It doesn't matter at all what the versioning looks like. The main thing is that there are updates at all.

Of course, that only applies to many of the games here.

What is that "Mining" thing in the Shop? What does it do?

Good morning and happy Wednesday. It's also World Otter Day.

... if i not wrong it is what it says, mining, i not sure how it works but if you buy a ring it generates value each hour but if it break you need to pay the repair fee depending on the ring and you can either buy it temporary (with an expiration date) or permanent but i not sure what is the break rate or if it is worth buying the short therm option

yeah, at first glance seems like gamified crypto mining for coins, also at first glance, seems like the rent option is just a way to lose coins? but maybe joining 'pools' or something is enough of a boost for there to be a profit.

Hey all, hope everyone is well

right now, at this very moment in time, I'm typing inside of a text input box on lewdcorner.

It's like a bitcoin simulation game. I thought it was a real miner at the beginning.

still remember that website where people would just type something in, and they'd get 9 images of the most incoherent fever dreams imaginable. was just for fun back then!

I get that a lot if I make a mistake in the settings.
