Space Empires IV 2.0?

Atrocities · #1 November 5th, 2002, 12:38 AM

I am not sure what the latest patch Version number is up to, but given all the time that Aaron puts into patching the game it is possible that one day the patch number will reach v2.0.

At that point, would the game still be SEIV or SEIV 2.0? Perhaps it will be called SEV?

What would a 2.0 SEIV be like? Will it have incorperated some of the fan ideas for improvements?

I don't know, but it should be interesting to find out.

He might just start adding more decimal places to keep it under 2.0.

SEIV 1.99965123

Exactly.

Just like those big companies like M$ and Adobe.

What's wrong with just calling it SEIV 2.0? It won't be SEV. That's a different game altogether.

Yeah but, when talking about the next Version -- maybe we should call it SE5.

If you say SEV out loud too many times it sounds to me like a mod based on a living, protein craving insectoid ship, piloted by a loser in a red cap, a walking dead guy, a bodyless robot, and a soft-spoken, introspective, shy girl who happens to be half cluster-lizard.

Not that there's anything wrong with that if thats the sort of thing you like.

Heh, I remember an Online game that was in an open beta test... just before the game was officially launched, the programmers got up to Versions 0.999999a through 0.999999k...

But generally, a change in the number before the decimal indicates a major status change. I would have thought of SEIV Classic -> SEIV Gold would be a change from v.1.xx to v.2.xx, just like Beta -> Classic was v.0.xx to v.1.xx. Oh well.

Sev {link} is also a Web cartoonist. (Beware of popups.)
