Using standard product numbering for a game that is still in development is a bit difficult. I also want to avoid confusion about what the most recent version is, as versions will be split into public and backer builds. For that reason, I will be using the following number scheme:

​

primary.major.minor - 0.00.0 [type] (build)

​

Primary: Is the highest version number. This doesn't represent alpha/beta/release status, but exists to signify a major change that needs to be obvious for players to see. (also, we should hit release of 1.0 well before counting up that high in major builds) 

Major: These are main builds that have added content to the game. Typically a major version is released once per month. 

Minor: These are the smaller builds that happen during a month between major releases. They could be just bug fixes, but will also contain content and new items added to the game during the month.

​

[Type]: The type of release build, used to signify what features and extras are available.

• Public: A version released to the public for play. The public version is typically behind the patron versions by a significant amount of time, and released only once per month. All the primary content is available, but extra features and game modes will not be.

• Backer: A version released for $5 patrons, and the version released to $1 patrons ahead of the upcoming public release. It is the base version of the game.

• Cheats: A version for $10 patrons that includes cheats and certain extra features. It will also have access to additional game modes and other items as they are completed.

• Elite: A version for $20 patrons that is very similar to the Cheats version, except that it also has debug tools enabled, allowing direct manipulation of the game during play. Rarely, certain trials or test features will be included here first before wide release.

​

(Build): Used internally to differentiate each new build. The build number is incremented automatically when compiled, and is reset after the monthly release of the new major version.
