Time for another update! There isn’t anything ground breaking but there are two notable things coming in.

New versioning:

You’ll notice that there’s a new version. I haven’t issued an update yet, I just revised the versioning a bit.

The current version used a simple format: Major.Minor.Year.Date(mmdd) . This is pretty simple, but sometimes it can be confusing, since I sometimes release patches to the game. So, to conform with Semantic Versioning and make it easier to separate the patches from updates, I’ve done a revision on the versioning. The newer format is like this: Major.Minor.Update.Date(yyddd), for installer and launcher, and Major.Minor.Update-BuildDate for the game and the Gamejolt Client. So for example the latest update (0.10.2015.1220) is translated to 0.10.4-201512220 on the new versioning. On the launcher, if I released an update today, it would show its version as 1.10.0.16104 (built on the 104th day of 2016). This is only for convenience, so don’t worry. It is already rolled out here, but neither the game nor the launcher and the installer have been updated to reflect it yet. They will on the next game update.

Side Missions:

When the Disc 1 update hits the mirrors, I will add a few hunting side-missions. Hunting missions are essentially, well, hunting. When you visit the guilds, you will receive a side mission to hunt down a certain creature to receive gold, experience and hunter coins. What do you do with hunter coins? You can upgrade your hunter license, to handle even harder missions and get some extras, such as discounts of healing items, additional weapons and others. Currently, there aren’t many of them, but subsequent updates will add more. There is another type of side missions, but I’ll talk about them later on.

That is all for now. See you on the next post.
