Aurora Dusk: Steam Age
Released Mar 2019
An amazing mix of RPG, strategy, simulation, sandbox and survival game. Aurora Dusk looks like many other games, but instead of being alone, you live in a community. You can play one or more villagers and evolve from the Wood Age to the Steam Age.

Evaluation
Aurora Dusk: Steam Age left Early Access on March 8, 2019, at which point the developer stated the game had reached a complete state, while noting that future updates were still possible. Following that launch, the game received a major content update in November 2019 (v1.5.0, adding new items, buildings, races, and more), a feature patch in July 2020 (v1.5.2), and a multiplayer server repair in April 2021. The last recorded developer communication is from April 27, 2021, when the online multiplayer was fixed. There have been no announcements of future content, no unreleased DLC on the store, and no roadmap or developer statements indicating further development plans. The developer also publicly announced a separate new game ("Vesper: Ether Saga") in December 2020, suggesting creative focus had shifted. The post-launch update activity has been absent since April 2021, which — combined with the developer's own characterization of the game as complete at 1.0 launch — points to development having wound down. The store listing describes a fully featured game with no mention of upcoming additions.
Evidence
v1.5.0 shipped with substantial new content: 16 new items, new building, new character, new monsters, and more.
Developer declared the end of Early Access, stating the game offers almost everything a complete game has to offer, while leaving the door open to future updates.
