Hi everyone. First of all I want to thank you all for playing and liking my game. This is my first game and your opinion is important for me. I want to explain why the game version is 0.5.
I was going my initial release to be v1.0, but because the game contain only prologue and not include any challenges I named it v0.5. Game's title is Hotwife's Challenges after all. Next update will be v1.0, next will be 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 ect...
And welcome to F95.
There is a general confusion around naming games as there is no fixed convention. I think as long as people know the system being used, it's not so bad. With that in mind, I think your post will help.
As a general rule of thumb, 1.0 is often thought of as the 1st completed version of the game. 1.1, 1.2 etc. updates for fixes or minor additions. Building up to that, it is often seen as 0.1 or even 0.0.1 as initial releases, then 0.2.0, 0.3.0 as subsequent even going into double figures 0.12.0 and using the 3rd figure for bug fixes, typos etc. so 0.12.3.
But this is a very general rule and there are as many people that use something like this as don't.
Some use letters - 0.12b, some use alpha, beta - 0.12 beta which can get confusing with 0.12 full....
Most importantly, it's great to see devs here interacting.
