My Ex-Boyfriend the Space Tyrant

My Ex-Boyfriend the Space Tyrant is a point-and-click adventure game that originally launched in 2012 and came to Steam on July 21, 2014. The developer, Up Multimedia, has periodically revisited the game over the years: a sequel (Escape from Pleasure Planet) launched on January 25, 2017, and a substantial engine overhaul (version 1.12) was released as a free update on February 2, 2019, bringing years of technical improvements, new writing, and quality-of-life changes. In June 2020, the developer briefly mentioned that "a new version of Space Tyrant is on the way," suggesting further updates were being considered at that time. However, the most recent developer communication is a post from October 12, 2022, celebrating the studio's 10th anniversary and announcing their next game, The Beat. This post reflects positively on Space Tyrant's legacy but contains no mention of any further updates or content planned for it. No unreleased DLC is listed on the store, and there has been no developer communication about this game since October 2022. The 2020 tease of a "new version" was most plausibly fulfilled — or quietly set aside — given that by 2022 the developer had moved on to releasing a new title entirely. With no outstanding commitments, no unreleased content, and the studio's attention turned to a new game, Space Tyrant appears to be a complete, finished product.
