Stop already with calling the Scripting Build "KAG 1.0"

No when a game is in 1.0 it's generally free of gamebreaking bugs and most QoL bugs that have been found/could be fixed reasonably.

Anyways, quite clear from Geti's post that for some reason they're using the term KAG 1.0 even though they mean to reference that when it's done and reaches the point where it's released (for steam/etc) it'll be 1.0, however the current build and this'version' of the game isn't referenced as 1.0.

At least that's what I took from it, I could be wrong.

 

>.<

If you'd actually read all the thread, Sly, you would know that it was I, not BlueLuigi, who made the thread. Plus, I don't think it's a matter of him not caring, but rather that Geti's reply has helped to allay at last some of his concerns.

 

Hey, here's an idea, try to follow along, I know that it's hard for someone of your... type... to follow, but do try to keep up dear, if you're the reason for the thread being started, pay some attention.

 

It's complicated, Sly, but the basic thrust of it (as I understand it; BL, correct me if I'm wrong) is that having the '1.0' on the end could lead to some people thinking that when the upcoming version of KAG (i.e. the scripting build) will be released as a finished product; when the reality is that the first release of KAG on the new game engine will still only be a Beta and will probably be missing some significant elements from what the final package will have. I think BlueLuigi's concern is that if people get accidentally mislead by the whole '1.0' thing there's going to be a bunch of backlash--right when the game should be getting ahead it'll be taking an angry fanbase to the knee.

 

That is exactly the point, yes. It will only hurt people who come in with expectations that won't be met. For the sake of a name that isn't even a good one, that's not worth it.

 

MM usually makes the final version 2.0 and not 1.0. Soldat 2.0 is the final version of soldat and 1.05b was the first main beta version (that went viral).

 

The 1.0 everywhere is something I've bought up with Michal because it's caused a lot of grief for the data realms guys - their initial release on steam was badly received because regardless of what 1.0 actually means (second major version, first minor revision, using zero-based versioning), players read it and think "DONE DONE DONE". It'll definitely not have that tag on release.

 

:D

These muscles and hearts are for you.
