0.17: The Interplanetary Update.

How about Planetary Update?

Sounds more epic

[NovaSilisko]

TF2 started the whole "The ____ Update" thing, not minecraft. Speaking of which, I loathe that "convention" and much prefer to just see version numbers...

[swiftgates24]

Also, the only update names for Minecraft are "The Adventure Update" and "THE UPDATE THAT CHANGED THE WORLD", and the latter isn't even serious. It's a yolk.

[FlamedSteak]

I dunno, I think the science module and rapier deserve equal billing with the tweakables.

[Captain Sierra]

Try HAWKEN style patch names. Those are more epic/badass sounding. It actually makes the updates sound impressive.

That would make this one called Rapier (because HAWKEN updates are typically named after one thing in the update, or something representative of the patch as a whole if nothing sounds cool enough).

.19 would be named Driven, and .22 would be Progress.

So that's my 2 cents on naming schemes.

[katateochi]

I like the idea of updates having names, but I like the ubuntu style of update (code) names; where the name has very little baring on the content of the update (the current one is Saucy Salamander, one of my favs was Natty Narwhal list of names here). They all follow the pattern of [adjective][animal name], I'm sure we could come up with some daft (and more kerbal) names along those lines (I can't think of any right now cos its late and my brain has stopped responding).

[InterCity]

0.19 is unofficialy called Krakens'bane update, since they removed the original space kraken.

[Arran]

Or EvE online, each update sounds like an new Expansion for the game..

[JiWint]

oh,please. Minecraft is such a bad example of an idie game

[stupid_chris]

.20 the chair update? Seriously?

.20 should be the GameDatabase update. For many of you guys, that simply means "a new folder to drop my mods in", but actually, GameDatabase means insanely much more than that. .20 introduced this whole new system from loading and saving stuff in config files, and an insane amount of stuff would be absolutely impossible without it. ModuleManager, Deadly Reentry, Modular Fuels, stock science... the list goes on. Not to mention the progress tracking system, which tracks your every action, and every step you make in the game, which is dependant of the GameDatabase system. It's a huge amount of work and coding, and it deserves it's place in the update's "name" without a doubt.

[Rickenbacker]

I think I prefer the Eve Online way, with random, epic names for updates. We could call 0.23 "Excalibur" or something...

No, really, I think the whole thing is silly and pointless.

[Starwaster]

Stupid chris is right, 'the chair' isn't a good name for 0.20

....

(pause...)

....

Let's name it ... Eastwood update...

[Whirligig Girl]

0.19 is unofficialy called Krakens'bane update, since they removed the original space kraken.

your thinking of 0.17, it removed the kraken because it had to to implement planets.

[Monkeh]

TF2 started the whole "The ____ Update" thing...

Oh wow, such memories just exploded in my head. The Goldrush Update was the first one, added a new game mode, a new map, (pl_Goldrush), the Kritzkreig, medic achievements....and TF2 was never the same again. Ahh, good times.

7 maps in the third update including cp_badlands, by far THE most played competitive map. Hmm, TF2. Loads lurve.
