Evaluation
Age of Invention (Meridian: Age of Invention) is a self-contained casual time management game that launched on September 30, 2015 with a fixed set of 55 levels, 10 characters, and a defined feature list. The store description presents it as a complete, packaged product with no mention of additional content, DLC, updates, or post-launch plans.
The developer's news feed on Steam covers 49 posts, all of which relate to other games in Mirball Games' / Alawar Casual's broader catalogue (such as Viking Heroes, Golden Rails, Rescue Team, and others). None of the posts reference Age of Invention itself — there are zero announcements, development status updates, or content releases tied to this game. The publisher appears to operate a prolific studio that regularly ships new standalone titles in its casual game series, rather than updating existing ones.
There is no DLC listed for this game, no roadmap, no season pass, and no developer communication suggesting future content was ever planned beyond the initial release. Age of Invention launched as a finished product and has remained unchanged. Anyone interested in playing it can do so knowing the full content — all 55 levels — has been available since launch day.

About this game

Experience the wonder of discovery as you rebuild a crumbling kingdom in Meridian: Age of Invention, an innovative time and resource management game! To renovate rundown villages, you'll have to hire workers, scour for resources, repair infrastructure, provide food and other services, engage in trade and create machines that will make life easier for the people. To win a gold trophy on each level, you'll have to use your ingenuity to figure out the quickest way to gather resources and complete your other tasks.
As you travel through lush grasslands, arid deserts and a village built on the sea, your guide will be Professor Cardano, an eccentric but brilliant inventor. Along the way, you'll meet many other zany characters, all of whom have their own dreams you can make come true. Endlessly imaginative, visually stunning and accessible to players of every skill level, Meridian: Age of Invention will take you to a time and place you'll never want to leave!
