Wait, wait. Are you claiming that there are public builds of .01 to .99 of Warcraft III somewhere out there? Surely you know that the earliest launch build is the 1.0 build, right? Obviously if the initial version represents the whole that means that the developer considered it a full game. That's what "1.0" means. It's whole. Anything below 1.0 is not whole and is the fractional percentage that the game state is at. e.g. .08 = 8/100 = 8% complete relative to the whole.
war3 is a big game , from a big company, they have enough money to finish develope the game before release ,
compare that to small devs that solo developing a game while maintaining a 9to5 job is ridiculous, they have to release small patches first to gain patrons , and slowly moving toward a finished game

Guys, go fap to ashley. We're moving on to 10th build, and I have no idea when the game will end ;p
Why would we jerk off to Ashley when we could have a circlejerk about version numbers? The real porn is in the comments.

Should just have Kali develop a porn game ingame, with a whole scene of her explaining versioning. Lucia can be the one who doesn't understand 0.10.

Just for fun, I could see Lucia asking, "Why is it 0.10?" and Kali replying, "Because calling it 'Cupcake' is just stupid."
And then Lin just happens to walk by with a tray of cupcakes, but she didn't hear the previous stuff just "cupcake is just stupid" and she goes crazy, gets her gun and holds them at gunpoint saying "My cupcakes are the best!"

It's a game, not an android!!!

I mean, if it were Linux, then it would have to be some animal, who wants Version Kitty? XD

The big "v0.10 ALPHA" right above the link doesn't clue them in?
It should... but it just so happens that the link to the thread also says ALPHA v0.10. It is rather misleading, methinks.
I mean, you have the 10 ALPHA, then you have the 9.2 nothing below, it's rather easy to assume the v10 is the actual version and that 9.2 is just the old version and not actual release, isn't it? There is a lot of people who don't bother to keep their alphas and betas straight.

Sadly, too many are not willing to read that much, or don't realize what 'alpha' means. :cautious:
Must be why Harem_Master facepalmed my post - he doesn't know what "alpha" means! :LOL:

I don't see "ALPHA v0.10", just "v0.10 ALPHA". But I'd interpret them both the same - stay far away, since I don't want to deal with bugs.

I'd say the changelog full of "nothing yet" would clue them in, but I doubt the people who don't know what an alpha is would read the changelog. Or wonder why there are 4 lines of links under 0.9.2 and 1 line under 0.10 alpha.

I thought "Alpha" meant "THE BIG DOG". Who knew it had something to do with these new-fangled typewriters attached to a tv screen? :geek:

Why don't have the android bring the cupcakes?
Kail: "Because cupcakes would be stupid"
Android comes with table of cupcakes
Kali: "No, I dont mean this cupcakes, I'm mean the that Androids one." And goes on and doesn't know how to set this straight that neither she means this particular cupkaes or this particular Android.:p

I don't see "ALPHA v0.10", just "v0.10 ALPHA". But I'd interpret them both the same - stay far away, since I don't want to deal with bugs.
I do believe lot of people read different, if the even read.
I "xxxx ALPHA", so a not a "finished", stable version.
As it shows lot read it:
"0.10": Oh new game version, must download now.

And therefore I don't know how this could be avoided, only if the alpha versions (or betas) wouldn't be leaked....

Or, perhaps, by writing [UNSTABLE!] besides? I mean, that way you don't need to know the specifics of what does the greek letter mean in this specific context: Unstable means unstable however you read it. Eight letters that no English-speaker would misconstruct unless they actually do not read. You can't stop people who don't read from falling for it, but it's just eight character that would avoid an untold amount of confusion.

Wasnt v0.10 already moved on from Alpha to Beta to the start of the month anyway? Id advice just waiting a bit longer personally and im sure the official release will more or less have a date in Runeys mind by now. People get a tad impatient with updates to games ive seen on various sites that ive noticed especially with ones they've no intention of even supporting lol (yet often trying to state a devs patreons etc are being ripped off haha).

Anyway im curious if there was ever any rough roadmaps given, not for updates per say but future plans. I recall once the plan was three floors of guests but that was a long time ago and plans change. Hell id argue that perhaps the third floor of guest rooms became the slave house and they three will in themselves become full integrated love interests and story characters eventually given there is romance routes teased for them (im guessing) as you can offer them complete freedom again. I think its them im most hyped for as theyre more the blankest slate - the main guests are unique and interesting but I think I get hyped by more elf development than weirder ones like faeries lol.

It's hard to imagine a native english speaker not understanding what Alpha means, especially if they've been on the internet for longer than a few years. Any way you look at it, Alpha means first. (It's the first letter of the greek alphabet, thus the name ALPHAbet(a)" For software specifically it usually means it's very buggy too, because we haven't been able to find the bugs. We don't plan for unstable builds, but we do plan for the first builds.

This was never meant to be seen by the public, the only people who complain are people who have no idea what's going on, and I don't blame them. 10 is bigger than 9. But people also know an Alpha is buggy, and if you didn't now you do :)

I'd like to get in 3 floors, but I can't work on more main characters at the moment.

HH is also getting very big, the Android file size is the main limiter.

Both of these things combined likely means either there wont be a third floor, or there will be a HH part 2 that includes the next characters, but not the story content of the first part to reduce file size.

Couldn't you just go the Ecchi Sensei route and make the part 2 accept the savefiles of part 1, in order to reduce file size and maybe do some refactoring of the internals or similar (which I'm pretty sure you would like to do)?

Saves add nothing to the file size. It's all in the images and videos, it's the only way to reduce the file size further. Android has been compressed to an insane amount already, PC/Mac has as well to a lesser extent to keep the quality. Without the current compressions, HH would be in the dozens of GBs. It's a massive game.

That's exactly what I mean.

The way ES https://f95zone.to/threads/ecchi-sensei-day-18-19-beta-bluecat.14927 deals with having absolutely massive file sizes is that it releases a "new game" with every update, but the "games" share saves between each other. So, whenever a massive new update hits, the assets and images are not bundled into the old file, but instead go into a new one entirely. However, the save files are shared between the games - so if you want, you can continue the day 18 and 19 beta from the savefiles for the previous days. That helps them keep the file sizes down, and refactor things under the hood, without breaking the continuity.
