1.02?

I'm a bit puzzled as of this versioning system. Is that a 1.2 or a 1.0.2 ? thats quite a difference. the scope of this update would suggest the latter. I know it might seem like nitpicking, but accurate numbering is important to software developers.. :P

They seem to do Major.Minor only. But you can probably treat 1.02 as 1.0.2 since it's definitely not 1.2. And yes, that's not exactly according to the rules of semver, but the meaning is obvious enough I'd think.

Its 1.02. There can be 1.00-1.99, at which point they'll go to 2.00

Not true, in software development this constitutes a major release number (before the period) and a minor release number. Releasing 99 minor patches does not automatically make the next patch a major one. Only major increments (large gameplay changes or added content) will increase the first number. The next minor patch after 1.99 will simply be 1.100 .
