Evaluation
About Love, Hate and the other ones launched on December 12, 2014 as a complete puzzle game. The developer shipped several bug-fix patches in the months following launch, then in June 2016 announced an unrelated new game (On Rusty Trails). On May 8, 2020, the developer announced and released a full 3D sequel — About Love, Hate And The Other Ones 2 — explicitly framing it as the next chapter for fans of this game. That sequel announcement is the last substantive content-related communication tied to this game. The most recent developer post, from April 27, 2025, was a technical maintenance update (a fix for a DPI scaling bug in SDL2), confirming the developer still monitors the game but is not adding new content. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no announced future content, and no roadmap. The game launched as a self-contained puzzle experience and has been fully complete since its original release; the sequel's launch in May 2020 marked the natural conclusion of this game's development lifecycle.
