I started playing months ago, but stopped. I restarted about a week ago, and I’m now up to Helios City, so I was wondering how complete the game is? Basically how far into the game can you go before you reach where the debs have gotten up to?
There are 6 badges in the current release with a little bit of story after that point. If you’re the type of person who takes their time when playing games like these and explores everything available then it should last you a few days at the very least.
Thanks. If you had to give an estimate percentage, how far into the game would you say the game is at
Hmm that’s hard for me to say mainly because even I’m not really sure how much content suze intends to add during the next update. I’d say 60% at the most; there’s a lot more to look forward to in the upcoming release.
Oh wow, the means there’s way more content coming than I thought, sweet! One last thing, I’m sure you’v probably been asked this way too much but I can’t find information on it: there are no legendaries at the moment (randomiser not included), but there will be legendaries, and side quests to get them, at some point? I love going after legendaries, even if I never use them again, but in particular I’m really looking forward to Lugia. Not asking for specifics though, I know u can’t give any
At the moment Thundurus is available. Most of the other legendaries will get side quests in the end game.
OK sweet. There’s no update log that I can see, so just out of interest roughly how often do you update the game? Trying to work out an estimate of when to expect the next one
Major updates are done when they are done, somewhere between 6-12 months
@1ofthe4rocketbros @Deukhoofd Great, thanks you guys have been really helpful. The game is amazing, keep it up
Just a little protip. This site lists the version number of Pokemon Insurgence to be 1.1.7. Version numbers of 1.0 or higher indicate a “full” or “complete” product. i.e. out of Alpha or Beta.
Calling it version 1.1.7 when the game itself isn’t complete is somewhat deceptive and misleading.
Might want to change that.
I seem to remember Minecraft following exactly the same system we are.
0.x while alpha, 1.x while beta, resetting when complete.
and 1.0 and 1.1 both are out of alpha and beta, they are releases. This does not mean that the full content is there yet, more content is added in large patches.
Software version numbers have always gone by the standard that 1.0 indicates completion, in the context of a game, that would mean a beginning, middle, and ending. So, eight badges, a pokemon league, and a conclusion to the central plotlines.
I’m not trying to be aggressive, I’m just pointing out that people familiar with version numbers would expect as such and likely be confused or frustrated when they figure out that standard isn’t applied here.
At the very least, add an appending to the version numbers to indicate incompletion; so instead of 1.1.7, it would be 1.1.7a.
“For initial development, alpha and beta versions are often given numerical versions less than 1 (such as 0.9), to suggest their approach toward a final “1.0” release.” Wikipedia- Software versioning
There is no standard in software versioning that 1.0.0 is a complete version, although some developers do indeed do this. The actual standard is that in x.y.z, x is a major release, where all versions within x are compatible with each other.
Our initial release was therefore 1.0.0, as this was a stable enough build, where we weren’t planning on overhauling major things where we would break support with earlier saves. If there would ever be a version without support for older versions, this would be named 2.0.0.
y is here a minor release, where we add more functionality to the game, and z is a patch release, in which we fix bugs.
