Evaluation
Dehumanized entered Steam Early Access on July 12, 2018, and received a steady stream of patches and updates for roughly 15 months. The developer shipped one named major content update — the "Buffoon Theatre" level — on March 7, 2019, alongside regular feature patches improving gameplay systems, UI, and balance. The most recent developer communication of any kind was a patch posted on October 18, 2019.
Since October 18, 2019, the developer has gone completely silent. The game has received no updates, announcements, or posts of any kind in the time since. The game remains in Early Access — meaning the developer has never officially declared it finished or shipped a 1.0 release. There has been no statement from BurningDust Games about the game's future, the studio's status, or whether development continues.
This represents a very prolonged period of inactivity for a game that has never left Early Access, and anyone waiting for the game to reach a completed state has no indication that it will.
Evidence
