Evaluation

KNIGHTS is a minimalist puzzle game that launched on May 30, 2016. The developer released several patches in the months following launch, adding features like a redo button and a redesigned save system. On December 13, 2016, the developer explicitly stated that it was "soon time to move on from this project," noting that patches would still be made as needed but signaling that active development of KNIGHTS was wrapping up. Subsequent developer activity confirms this: in early 2017 the developer was soliciting community feedback to inform the design of their next game (PEG), and PEG launched on October 9, 2017. No further content or updates for KNIGHTS have been announced or released since late 2016. The game shipped as a complete package with nearly 100 hand-crafted levels and a procedurally generated daily puzzle mode, and the developer has moved on to other projects.

Evidence

Developer explicitly stated it would 'soon be time to move on from this project and launch the next,' confirming KNIGHTS development was concluding. Patches would still be applied as needed.
