Evaluation
Clawface launched on March 13, 2018 as a free-to-play arcade twin-stick shooter. In the weeks following launch, Hathos Interactive was actively engaged with the community, shipping a series of patches: a first patch on March 20, 2018 (briefly rolled back on March 21 due to a crash bug), a stable re-release of that patch on March 30, 2018, a major feature update including the full Level Editor and Steam Workshop integration on April 14, 2018, and a final polish/bug-fix patch on April 30, 2018. The only DLC — the game's soundtrack — launched alongside the game on release day. At launch, the developer mentioned plans for polish, bug fixes, and Steam Workshop support, all of which were delivered by April 30, 2018. No content has been announced or shipped since that date, and the developer has made no posts of any kind since April 30, 2018 — over eight years ago. The game shipped as a finished arcade experience, the post-launch patch cycle concluded in April 2018, and all announced goals were met. There is no indication of any planned future content.
Evidence
Patch 1.15 delivered final bug fixes and gameplay polish. This is the last developer communication on record.
Patch 1.1 delivered the fully-functioning Level Editor and Steam Workshop integration — fulfilling the main goals announced at launch.
