Evaluation
Life is Feudal: Your Own launched on November 17, 2015 and received a series of updates through its post-launch life. The developer shipped three identifiable major content updates: a feature patch in December 2016 (v1.1.7.4), horse-drawn carts and new castle walls in September 2017 (v1.3.4.5), and a substantial gameplay overhaul in September 2018 (v1.4.0.1). After that 2018 update, developer activity dropped sharply — the only subsequent communication found in 50 scanned posts was a security-related bug fix on May 18, 2023. That May 2023 patch is the last recorded developer activity.
The major content releases were spaced roughly 9–12 months apart between 2017 and 2018, but no further major content followed the September 2018 update. The gap between the last major content drop (September 2018) and the last communication of any kind (May 2023) spans nearly five years, with no announcements of planned content, no roadmap, and no developer statement about future updates. The May 2023 post was purely a maintenance security fix, not a signal of renewed development.
The store description contains no mention of upcoming content, season passes, or ongoing development plans. There are no unreleased DLC entries. With no outstanding commitments and a multi-year silence following the last meaningful update, the game's content development appears to have concluded. The last developer communication of any kind was a security patch on May 18, 2023, which serves as the most recent evidence of the developer still maintaining (but not expanding) the game.
Evidence
Major update v1.4.0.1 released with reworked luck mechanics, gathering abilities, battle survival skill tweaks, and numerous gameplay changes. This is the last major content update released for the game.

About this game
Life is Feudal: Your Own is a truly hardcore sandbox RPG with captivating survival aspects. Described as a real life Medieval simulator, which caters for up to 64 players on a 3km x 3km gameworld, any and all paths are an option.
LiF:YO places you in a realistic feudal setting with the ability to host your own private world and set your own rules to suit your playstyle. There’s an in depth crafting system, a range of building features, and free terraforming across the map - meaning you can build your own house anywhere in the world. Team up with your friends and build a village or city and repel attacks by other players who want to ransack your lands!
The unique combat system is non-target and physics-based; the direction of your attack depends on mouse movement. Basic movements and directional attacks can be combined to create deadly combos with special harmful effects. Battle formations are also a new way to collaborate and control the situation on the battlefield with your fighting team. Co-operation and a good strategy within a formation will help you prevail against the enemy.
Everything is tweakable and unique to you, including how your character progresses. The skill and stat cap system allows you to design a character molded to fit your style perfectly, for example. Even alchemy is unique; all recipes are randomized for each character thus the only way to learn is by experimentation.
