Evaluation

Not The Robots launched on December 12, 2013 and received a series of post-launch updates. Version 1.0.3 (March 11, 2014) addressed bugs reported by the community. The 1.1 update (August 4, 2014) was described as the "biggest update so far," adding Save & Quit for Campaign Mode, performance improvements, and various quality-of-life tweaks. The 1.1.5 update (October 13, 2014) added custom level drawing and export/import functionality. After October 13, 2014, no further developer communications or updates appear in the record — a silence spanning over a decade to today's date of June 28, 2026. The game shipped with a self-contained campaign, no announced DLC, no season pass, and no ongoing content roadmap. The store description describes a complete product with a defined feature set. All updates appear to have been maintenance and quality-of-life work rather than expansions of the core content. With no unreleased DLC, no outstanding commitments, and no developer activity since October 2014, the game is a finished product.
