The Animarathon Version Number System.

Version Numbers are completely arbitrary.

Pre-Release Versions

0.0 Conceptual Planning Late December 2016

  • Thinking about the game mostly.

0.1 Longitude Highway Original version. Featured Orion driving into Bowling Green from the south.

  • Framework for a game about drifting cars at anime conventions.
  • Start of original XVVN git repo

0.2 4 Ohio Added significant new content, including artists alley (Based on the Ballroom).

  • Introduced a photo to washed out blur background transition.
  • Most item graphics added.
  • A shift to a serious tone and story.

0.3 Frogs? Realized that incorporating the subject matter I had planned into a game about an anime convention would seriously backfire.

  • Shift back to fun tone.

The ANO president informed me that Orion was actually male. For a while I tried to just keep things the way they were, but the group disapproved during playtesting. To reduce typos, I just made Ann the main character and swapped the variables.

  • Added Frog Sensei & Lake Erie plot.

0.4 Wooster Bruiser Around March 10th The fruit of my Spring Break. A version that was more or less "Feature Complete", but lacked a way to progress in game.

  • Most characters drawn and animated.
  • While complete-ish, very bare bones.
  • Not possible to complete without commands

Open Beta Versions.

0.5 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (I'm late!) March 25th,2017 (Start of actual versioning with dates.) The AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA commits from an hour before Animarathon XV. I figured the game was half complete so I called it 0.5. Released at Animarathon XV, then retracted later that day after critical bugs were discovered.

  • The first version to receive media attention.
  • First version to use Neural Style artwork.
  • Generated the Sunday before, March 19th, in the Mac Hall AI Lab.
