Evaluation

Forestry 2017 - The Simulation launched on March 25, 2016 as a complete, finished product. The developer shipped two post-launch patches: a bug fix on April 18, 2016, and a feature patch on July 29, 2016. After that July 2016 update, no further developer communications of any kind have been published. There are no DLC listings, no announced future content, no roadmaps, and no developer statements indicating plans for additional updates. The game has had no official activity since July 29, 2016, and the complete absence of any update pattern across nearly a decade strongly indicates development concluded with that final patch.

Evidence

Update 2 (Build 1414) shipped on July 29, 2016, adding quality-of-life features and bug fixes. This is the last recorded developer communication.

About this game

Forestry 2017 – This Simulation takes you to the forest! Take over the tasks of a professional woodcutter and enjoy working in the woods! Control huge machinery (harvester, trucks, tractors and crane arms), fell the trees, arrange the timber and comb through your wood. Sell the wood, several products and earn money to expand your company.

The better you maintain the forest and care for the different tree species, as well as the professional and timesaving use of the machines, the more money will be available for new machines and equipment!
