VN Ren'Py Abandoned Midlife Crisis [v0.34 - v0.1 Dark] [Nefastus Games]

[Krynh]

A double release in February?!?! I love Nefastus, and Midlife Crisis, but nah, B. I will be shocked if we see an update this weekend.

I hope we will get the update this weekend, I doubt we'll get a double update this month though.

And I doubt it is for lack of trying; I am sure he is hard at work. It's just, especially in 2020/21, shit tends to happen.

From the discord: Nefastus says the release should be happening fairly soon, and that it still should be a double update month.

That would be awesome! Can't wait to see what that madman has planned.

If there isn't one in the OP it's usually only via subscription on patreon

Nefastus Jan. 31st: "If I don't have it out in the next couple of days I will be very shocked."

I think you will be the only one man

Haha! I do love Nefastus, and his great work, but he misses his predicted release dates like a Storm Trooper misses Jedis.

Looking less and less likely that this will be a double release month

Unless both updates are ready to go, and almost done, I would say you are right on the money.

It's possible he's already writing the next one while whatever issue he has with the current release is being sorted out. That would explain the insistence on two releases.

 

[Krynh]

Will ping him tomorrow on discord to ask on an ETA.

Not if he splits this update and post both parts couple days apart at the end of this month.

Which once again can serve as a reminder that the number of updates or by extension the version number are insufficient indicators of progress, since they don't tell anything about the amount of content and other stuff (bugfixes, QOL issues, reworked mechanics) you find in a game that wasn't there before.

Very true.
I would argue that version numbers are poorly understood a lot of the times, since there is no official way version numbering is agreed upon. Users should read change logs or bug reports, not look at version numbers, that is not for them! A v0.9.9 release, does not mean it is nearly done! It means the programmer gave it that number for whatever his/her reasons may be, that is all!
Version numbering is for programmers to keep track of their projects, not for the Users! If you want to use version numbering as a User, you need to understand the programmers-logic. And programmer logic can be pretty stupid, since they decide what that logic is!

Which already includes the numbers themselves.

After 0.9.9 you can have any of 0.9.9a; 1.0.0; 0.10.0; 0.9.10; 0.91.0 - and almost anything else which tickles your fancy.

Like the versioning scheme for TeX...
