Evaluation
Rock God Tycoon launched on February 13, 2017 and received a steady stream of updates throughout 2017, including a major gameplay overhaul in version 1.2 (May 30, 2017), several feature patches adding new content and character customization options, and a final engine maintenance update on December 10, 2017. The developer (Seabass) then went silent for over a year before resurfacing in April 2019 — not with an update to Rock God Tycoon, but with an announcement that he had spent that year building an entirely different game, Duke of Defense. The April 2019 post makes no mention of any planned return to Rock God Tycoon or any future content for it. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no roadmap commitments that remain outstanding, and no developer communications after April 2019. The last actual update to the game was the December 10, 2017 engine maintenance patch. Given that the developer explicitly moved on to a new project and has made no statements about returning to this one, the game appears to have reached its final state in late 2017.
Evidence
Developer (Seabass) announced a new game, Duke of Defense, stating he spent approximately a year working on it after going silent on Rock God Tycoon. No mention of any future plans for Rock God Tycoon.
Engine maintenance update (v1.2.2.0) — the last official update to Rock God Tycoon, focused on compatibility improvements.

About this game
Rock God Tycoon (RGT) places you at the helm of your very own band and on the path to your own rock destiny. Choose your character’s discipline from guitar, bass, drums, or vocals, then hire the rest of your band before hitting the road to stardom. Manage your group and decide when deadwood needs to be cut. Fed up with the drummer missing shows? Fire the slacker and replace him!
Model your fully customizable characters with 300+ available items, all exceptionally detailed, beautifully designed, and with frequent new additions. Everybody needs to pay their bills though, and you’ll need to book the right shows and practice your songs to keep the money coming in; going from small town bars, to concerts halls and stadiums. Your band isn’t performing and is struggling to hold a note? Better put down that coffee to pick up that gauntlet and step on stage yourself to show them how it’s done. Gigging across 76 cities, each with unique venues, you'll constantly be on the road; whether it be in a van, tour bus, or a private jet.
As your skill and renown grows, so will your fan base. Head to the shop and use some of your cash to upgrade your instruments, equipment, and buy promotions in a fully realized catalogue of features. Make sure to manage the tension and egos in your band carefully, and while you’re at it, don’t forget to pay the rent. Well placed info tabs show you every actionable detail of your band, and allow you to manage all of your band's day to day goals. RGT allows you to write your own songs, develop and release your own albums, and sign record deals with a variety of labels.
This is the music tycoon game you have been waiting for and deserve.
