Evaluation

Play With Gilbert - Remake launched on May 12, 2021 as a fully rebuilt version of the original game. The developer, Joure Visser, has a long history of free content updates stretching back to the original 2017 release — adding a Moon level (March 2018), a Beach level (May 2018), and after the Remake's launch: new maps, game modes, Fish-Run, engine upgrades (September 2021), and finally the Paint With Gilbert update with a new "Canvas Avenue" level (April 15, 2022). The April 2022 post is the last recorded developer communication. In that post, the developer described Paint With Gilbert as something they had "wanted to bring back" and delivered as a thank-you to supporters. While they mentioned working on a separate game called Whiskered Away and hinted at more ideas, no specific future content for Play With Gilbert - Remake was promised beyond what shipped in that update. The one released DLC — the Unicorn Supporter Pack (May 12, 2021) — is fully shipped. No unreleased DLC is listed. The developer had previously floated ideas for additional themed DLC packs (e.g., "Farming With Gilbert") in the May 2021 launch post, but no such content was ever formally announced or listed on the store, and no follow-up communication has referenced these ideas since. Given that the last developer communication was on April 15, 2022 — over four years ago as of June 2026 — and the historical cadence of major updates (roughly every 4–6 months during active periods) has been vastly exceeded with no new activity, it is reasonable to conclude that active development of this game has wound down. The game appears to be content-complete as of the April 2022 update.
Evidence
