Most of the time, when I download a game via the itch.io app, the versioning looks like this
Which isn't really that informative but whatever, I guess that's how itch does it. But when I tried pushing my own project using butler, I realized you can actually specify it properly like this.
Which is a lot more pleasing to look at imo. Basically, I just wish more developers configure their projects this way instead of relying on the cryptic sets of numbers that gets auto generated.
I was going to reply on my phone but itch.io's comment editor started spazzing out and singing He-Man on me when I tried to backspace.
And yeah I agree it needs to be on the front-end too as some creators are averse to using command line utilities.
I specifically avoided the term developer and used "creator" instead because not all games are made by hardcore developers and there are a lot of game engines nowadays that let you get away with knowing just basic scripting which is ideal for artists who just want to get a simple game out. They don't necessarily need to interact with the terminal/command prompt most of the time when using these engines.
