Evaluation
Gunmetal Arcadia Zero launched on November 15, 2016, as a self-contained action-adventure platformer — a prequel to the separately released roguelite Gunmetal Arcadia. The developer shipped a series of bug-fix and polish patches in the weeks following launch (November 22, 2016 and January 9, 2017), resolving crashes and improving platform compatibility. The only DLC is a soundtrack pack that released alongside the game on November 15, 2016. The store description describes a complete, feature-rich product with six stages, multiple weapons, speedrun mode, and CRT simulation. No additional content was ever announced for this game, and developer news activity since January 2017 has been focused entirely on the separate sequel, Gunmetal Arcadia. This game appears to have launched as a finished standalone product, with post-launch activity limited to maintenance patches.
Evidence
Developer announced and launched the sequel, Gunmetal Arcadia, a separate roguelite game. This is the last news post associated with Gunmetal Arcadia Zero's store page, and it focuses on the new title rather than any further development of Zero.
Final patch for the game, fixing a crash on quit and a DirectInput issue. Last developer communication about this title.
