Evaluation

Diluvian Winds launched into 1.0 on April 25, 2024, graduating from Early Access after roughly a year. The 1.0 release added the Aerial Way, five new species, an Expeditions mechanic, artifacts, and the final story chapters (7 and 8), completing the content arc the developer had outlined during Early Access. On October 1, 2024, the developer posted a development status update stating they had been working on a console port and gathering player feedback. They noted plans to "return to a rhythm of game updates" focused on balancing and gameplay quality improvements "over the coming months." That was exactly two years ago as of today's date (October 1, 2026). Since that October 1, 2024 post — the most recent developer communication in the dataset — there has been no follow-up communication, no named DLC or expansion announced, and no unreleased content listed on the store. The "coming months" window for the promised balancing updates has long since passed with no further posts. Only one DLC exists (a Supporter Pack released May 2023), and it has been released. There is no ongoing update cadence to point to: the three major content milestones (Merchant Update in September 2023, 1.0 launch in April 2024, and a bug-fix patch in May 2024) were part of the Early Access development cycle, not a post-launch content cadence. The October 2024 statement described intentions rather than specific announced content, and the two-year silence since that post, without any delivered updates or further announcements, indicates those plans did not materialize into a sustained content stream. With no outstanding commitments, no unreleased DLC, and developer communication having ceased by October 1, 2024, the game is best understood as having shipped as a complete product at its 1.0 release date.
Evidence
Diluvian Winds 1.0 launched, completing the three survival paths (land, underwater, aerial), adding final story chapters 7 and 8, expeditions, artifacts, and achievements. Developer indicated console port work ahead but described post-launch updates as minor quality-of-life improvements.

About this game



As the weather becomes more and more extreme, a walrus serving as a lighthouse keeper welcomes travelers looking for a place to rest.
As a keeper, accommodate travelers, and meet their requests to resist natural disasters, while developing the hamlet on land, under water, and in the air.



The lighthouse helps travelers and wandering caravans to get their bearings in the world. The keeper needs to keep the fire going, for if it were to go out, the place would be cut off from the outside world.





The keeper regularly welcomes anthropomorphic travelers to the hamlet. Each traveler is unique and has their own knowledge and characteristics, but also their own requests for you to meet. Take this information into account to build a sustainable and habitable community.





Numerous people cross the Diluvian seas, and the lighthouse is the perfect meeting point for merchants seeking resources. Trade with them, and maintain a trustful relationship with their guilds to increase the number of services they offer.





The keeper always shares a meal with travelers at dusk. He decides on the menu, depending on what ingredients are available. His recipes are famous among travelers, even if some say they can be somewhat ""experimental"".





The keeper and his cousin reunited. With the latter's flying machine, it is now possible to go on an expedition. Choose a route on your map, and assign your most dauntless travelers to explore the surroundings. Be cautious, as each area, route, and crew member will influence your expedition's success.





Depending on the weather forecast, various game phases will be affected, such as production or the lighthouse fire. You also will need to watch out for natural disasters, such as tsunamis or underwater eruptions.
