 Peer pressured badly to switch engines?
#19
Quote:Saying that versioning doesn't really matter is as naive as omitting the fact that there are doodads for XP as well and they have been around for quite some time. You gotta know by now that there are two kinds of versioning systems, the one tools like git and subversion use based on every small change to the code and the semantic versioning. True, there are lots of devs of many applications that mistreat that feature. I've seen it a lot, sadly, but every single part of the version number has purpose.
As far as there being Doodads for XP, I know... I'm the co-author of an XP script for them. (ELSA) -

It's totally not naive to say versioning doesn't matter in most systems. Yes, there is PURPOSE in versioning numbers, but not some earth-shattering Old Testament/New Testament transition. 

As most systems don't destroy their base functionality when they add something and add a +0.01 to their version number when showing the update. If systems would do that, people would be SO pissed, and rightfully so. MV 1.61 works just as well as 1.62... the world didn't collapse when people upgraded from 1.61 to 1.62

For instance, Bakin had a recent update to 1.1.2.3. Did it destroy all the work we did with our games when it was 1.2.2? NO - did it add a few new features and dynamically fix bugs so things worked better? Yep. On a whole did people have to re-do what they already had in their game. nope.... Now, if Bakin came out and said ("we're getting rid of our tilesystem for voxels...") It'd be a pretty big change, and I'm sure the versioning number would be a heck of a lot more than a +0.01...
