Evaluation
Porcunipine launched on May 21, 2015 as a complete couch multiplayer party game. After release, the developer Big Green Pillow shipped three feature updates through the end of 2015: Update 1 (July 31, 2015) added a new character and visual improvements, Update 2 (September 9, 2015) added taunt animations and UI polish, and Update 3 (December 17, 2015) added touch control support and quality-of-life options. The last of these updates also mentioned exploring the possibility of online multiplayer, but no such feature was ever announced as a commitment or shipped. After December 2015, Big Green Pillow made no further communications about the game. The only post since then (February 28, 2022) was a publisher-wide promotional post from Curve Games advertising a sale across their entire catalogue — it was not a development update for Porcunipine specifically. No DLC has ever been listed. No roadmap or future content has been announced. The game has been content-complete since its final feature update in December 2015.
Evidence
Update 3 shipped with touch control support and a blood/gore toggle — the last developer update specifically for Porcunipine from Big Green Pillow.
Store description describes a complete feature set: 5 stages, 30 arenas, two game modes, bot support, and controller support. No mention of planned additions or early access status.

About this game
Porcunipine is a couch multiplayer about balding porcupines fighting courageously for survival using their very last pointy quills.
The concept of the game is simple: You are a majestic and terribly violent porcunipine. You have one quill which you can shoot at your opponents. Once you shoot, you have to go and pick up that quill before you can shoot again. Your quill rebounds from walls and obstacles, and can kill you just as easily as it can kill your enemies.
