Paleon

Paleon launched on October 27, 2023, and has been actively developed since. The game received major updates on July 11, 2024 (v1.5.0, adding trading posts and animal purchasing) and January 11, 2025 (v1.6.0, adding new fuel types, a treadmill, and settler housing assignment), along with multiple feature patches throughout. Beyond updates to the existing game, the developer announced on June 5, 2024 that they are rebuilding the game from scratch under the name "Paleon Reinvented," citing deep architectural limitations in the original codebase. This rewrite targets a wide range of new features including revamped animal husbandry, a redesigned tech tree, Linux/macOS support, achievements, tutorials, and more. The developer published devlogs about this effort on June 3, June 8, and June 30, 2025 — the most recent developer communication on record. On May 27, 2025, the developer open-sourced the original Paleon codebase, confirming that both Paleon Reinvented and a second project ("Ay Bulak") are in active development. The last developer communication was June 30, 2025. The historical gap between major content releases (roughly 6–12 months) means that as of October 1, 2026 — approximately 15 months since the last devlog — the silence has extended beyond the established update window. However, the Paleon Reinvented project represents a substantial, ongoing commitment explicitly communicated by the developer, and the most recent devlogs show active engineering work. The developer has made no statement indicating the project is complete or abandoned. The extended silence is a note of caution, but the outstanding commitment to Paleon Reinvented keeps active development status intact.
