Midori no Kaori

Midori no Kaori launched its full 1.0 release on October 21, 2025, after about a year in Early Access. At launch, the developer (TheLaba) confirmed that every feature from the November 2024 roadmap had been delivered, but also made clear that the game's development was continuing: "This release is not the end, it's the beginning of the full story of Midori no Kaori. From now on, the world is complete, but its quiet life continues to grow with every player who steps into it." This has proven to be accurate. Just three days after launch, on October 24, 2025, a Halloween seasonal update arrived with new decorative items, and that post confirmed "more updates and new items are on the way soon." The most recent developer communication on record is a bug fix and polish update posted on September 30, 2026, showing the developer is still actively engaged with the game. Looking at the full post-launch history visible here, the developer has maintained a consistent pattern of updates since 1.0 — including the Halloween update (October 24, 2025) and the polish update (September 30, 2026). Prior to 1.0, the developer was shipping meaningful feature updates roughly every 4–8 weeks throughout the Early Access period, with major additions like Steam Workshop (June 15, 2025), a book/story system (May 14, 2025), a delivery mechanic (February 3, 2025), and Auto Mode (December 9, 2024). There are no unreleased DLC items listed on the store, and the developer has not announced any specific upcoming paid content. However, the explicit launch statement about ongoing growth, confirmed by continued post-launch activity through at least September 30, 2026, indicates this game continues to receive new content.
