Prosperity

Prosperity entered Steam Early Access on May 28, 2018. The solo developer (dSolver) maintained a fairly regular cadence of feature updates from launch through August 2020, shipping improvements to districts, economy systems, weather, the experts system, contracts, tools, work orders, and more. However, the developer had consistently described several major game systems as still in progress or explicitly planned for future updates — including a military campaign, a religion system, a cultural influence/victory condition system, and a world map visualization. As of the April 2020 update, the developer was still working toward a "Culture Level" victory condition described as a first milestone, and noted ongoing work on district-based research and culture growth. The last developer communication of any kind was on August 9, 2020, when a patch was released adding accessibility improvements and beginning work on "Market Upgrades" and "Market Reserve" features, both described as works in progress with "more features to be added later." Since August 9, 2020 — now nearly six years ago — there have been no further updates, patch notes, announcements, or developer communications. The game remains in Early Access on Steam, still purchasable, with its store description and prior posts describing a game still under construction. The promised major systems have not been delivered, and the developer has provided no explanation for the prolonged silence.
