Evaluation
Equilinox launched on November 23, 2018 and received a steady stream of updates in the months that followed. The developer shipped four major content updates post-launch: Camels and Coral (December 15, 2018), Birds of Prey (February 22, 2019), Meerkats and More (April 26, 2019), and Creative Mode (May 31, 2019). These updates added new species, biomes, game modes, and gameplay systems at roughly monthly intervals. The Creative Mode update on May 31, 2019 was the last major content release and the final developer communication of any kind across all available records. No further updates, announcements, roadmaps, or developer posts have appeared since that date. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no season passes, and no developer statements promising future content. The game launched as a complete product and received a focused post-launch content push through mid-2019, after which development concluded without a formal announcement. The game is complete as of May 31, 2019.
Evidence

About this game
Equilinox is a relaxing nature game which allows you to create and nurture your very own diverse ecosystem of plants and animals. Sit back, start growing, and watch your world blossom and evolve in front of you!
You can start creating your ecosystems by placing plants and animals into your world. Having a variety of plants and trees will make the terrain more fertile and allow wildlife to flourish, while animals will begin to earn you points which can be used to purchase various in-game resources.
Every animal and plant has its own life-cycle, unique behaviors and requirements, so you need to ensure that each species is satisfied with its environment, has enough resources, and that the ecosystems are balanced. Healthy, happy animals will live longer, breed more, and earn you more points.
The points you earn can also be used to genetically modify your species, allowing you to manipulate the traits and behaviors of your species for various benefits. You can also evolve your current wildlife to unlock more exotic plants, trees and creatures.
There are multiple in-game tasks that can be completed to gain rewards such as extra diversity points or new content. Some tasks can be repeated, making it possible to farm certain plants and animals to receive a regular income of diversity points.
Equilinox also has a fully sandbox mode where you can place as many plants and animals as you like, plus you can genetically modify them to your heart's content! Create swarms of super fast pink wolves, high bouncing rainbow sheep, pixel art made from colored mushrooms, beautiful low-poly scenes, or anything else that you can think of. The possibilities are endless!
