Making a proper game version

hello everyone,

i’m currently making a game and i was wondering if there was a way to make a proper text that displays the version (ex: v2.0.5, v1.0.0, etc…)
i’m using Rojo, Wally, Git and i have a private repo on GitHub

if you know anything, please let me know. thanks!

Well, that kinda depends on what you define as the game version and how you do it.
Though if you want to use the roblox defined place version, which is just a basic number that increments every time you save the place, you can use game.PlaceVersion

i’m sure i’ve seen games make a TextLabel with it saying the version like in “v2.0.0, v1.0.0”
i might also need this for update logs

These are actually up to the developer to format. There isn’t really any fixed version format you must stick to, like how Geometry Dash increments each version by an uncommon 0.1

Developers most often use semantic versioning, but it doesn’t really matter how you write a version as long as it lets you identify the version, you can even just use game.PlaceVersion.

vX.Y.Z, where X is major release, Y is minor release, and Z is patch. If X is incremented, Y and Z reset to 0, if Y is incremented then Z resets to 0.
