Free Poll: Does the way I write my versions confuse people (make people think it has less content) due to the smaller looking number? Which versioning system is more appealing?
I used to write my versions like v0.2.5 or whatever, I have now been using v0.109 type of versioning for a while now. Over time, I have noticed less people pay attention to the game even though imo, I have not changed what I am doing in a way that makes the game worse. In fact there is a lot of content now and even more constantly being added.
I would like to know, as a consumer, does a game with a version like v0.5.1 instead of v0.109 seem like a bigger and more finished/polished game that you would be willing to play more if you see it on the homepage of a website. Sometimes I get comments confused with the new versioning system, so I was wondering if I did the wrong thing by changing the system. Or maybe it's just the game not being considered good by people :P

honestly both version format numbers are good though ideally when switching from a V0*.* to a V0.*** format, using your example it would have been best to make V0.2.5 into V.0.250 or V.0.251 or list both the old and new version numbers in the post name with a mention in the topic body to let people know is just a numbering change and not a from scratch reboot in the first post or update with the new numbering system as many people usually only read the title when checking for updates. ultimately it really up to you on which format you prefer
