Evaluation
My Koi is a relaxing koi pond simulator developed solo by Andy Dyson (Sakana Studios), launched on July 15, 2020. The developer has maintained an irregular but ongoing pattern of updates since launch, covering new features, bug fixes, and seasonal content.
The developer experienced a prolonged quiet period and addressed it directly in a December 24, 2023 post, explaining that difficulties upgrading to newer development software had caused the gap. He resolved this by returning to his previous tools and resumed development. A March 2024 feature patch followed, improving water interactions and fish behavior. A September 4, 2025 update added a fourth pond as an unlockable milestone reward, and an October 26, 2025 Halloween update returned the seasonal Ghost Skull koi fish — the last communication on record.
The update history shows a solo developer working at an unhurried, irregular pace, with returns to the project after quiet stretches. As of today, October 8, 2026, it has been approximately one year since the last developer communication (October 26, 2025). Given this developer's established pattern of returning after extended quiet periods — most notably the gap before the December 2023 post — and the fact that he has never announced the end of development, the current silence does not clearly indicate the project has ended. However, one year without any communication or update is the longest gap in the post-2023 period and approaches the outer edge of what the historical pattern would suggest. No specific future content has been announced, and no statement of completion has been made.
Evidence
Halloween update returned the seasonal Ghost Skull koi fish — the most recent developer communication on record.
