If we can take their version numbering seriously, the devs think they are just over 20% of the way to Valheim 1.0. That leaves time for bug-fixing and general polishing (longer sound loops for fires and beehives, smarter AI)

With maybe just enough extra time for one or two finishing features such as a game settings console where you can adjust things like the death penalty.*

And just like that, there's an update: 0.204.4, mostly bug fixes. The last version I saw was 0.203.11, since I foolishly opted out of the beta program. Curses, no crashes!

If you like bugs, be sure to opt in to the beta program. Otherwise, the game is almost boringly stable.

*For group play, the game.ini file would be read only.

That's not how version numbering works.

Can you show me a single software product that has EVER used the version number in that way?

If not, you are basically just trolling with your "if you like bugs" comment. Please stop.

(I'm sure I've seen a post almost identical to this before - and replied to it - I just can't remember if it was you.)

If you had read what I posted, you would see that "if you like bugs" refers to opting in to the beta testing. It is not a snide comment, it is a compliment: unless you opt-in to the beta, you don't see many bugs. Get it?

As to whether decimal version numbers are meant to provide an estimate of how far the devs think they are to 1.0, of course they are used that way.* But since it is an estimate it may happen that we get to version 0.6 something and suddenly jump to 1.0. Or not.

No, I am not going to ransack the internet for a specific example of something that went to 0.9.9.9 before rolling over to 1.0 in order to prove that I am not a troll. I think it is obvious who is trolling here.

*[Edit] Sometimes. Apparently, there is a lot more to versioning than I thought, including some formal schemes that would be misleading to read my way. (I always used major.minor.bugfix.bugfix.. and the minor was intended to give a rough estimate of progress)

This does not make me a troll, and MrFrog can take a jump.
