The Proteus Effect floated somewhere between 0.9.2, 0.9.6, 0.9.8 or whatever, for more than a year. lolAlmost nobody plans to have exactly ten releases. What if you were going to have 8, or 12 releases? Version 0.125? Some devs do use the minor version as a ballpark of how complete the game is prior to 1.0 - Spelunky comes to mind, but they notably had a 0.99 version that existed for at least a year before the 1.0 release.
I was using that 10 releases as an example. It just seems like if 1.0 is the finished product, and you are going at a 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 pace, that's how it would end up. And I actually have seen that. The Point Of No Return has been consistently running 0.16, 0.17, 0.18, 0.19, 0.20... But, that's the only dev I've seen do that. But, this all proves how random it can be, and that's why I ask. lol
Either way...I got the answer I was looking for.
