Evaluation
Rubber Ducky and the Rainbow Gun launched on December 15, 2015 and received a handful of updates in the months that followed: a bug fix patch on December 28, 2015, a cosmetic DLC pack on January 20, 2016, and then a notable post-game content update on September 27, 2019 that added a secret boss fight, optimizations, and platform porting work. That September 2019 post is the last update of any substance to the game itself.
Since then, the developer — John Szymanski — has moved on to other projects. He announced the survival horror game My Friendly Neighborhood in August 2021 and, most recently, posted a demo announcement for a brand new title, Secret Agent Wizard Boy and the International Crime Syndicate, in October 2024. While the September 2019 post briefly mentioned a new Rubber Ducky game being worked on "in free time," no further updates on that project have appeared since, and the developer's focus has clearly shifted elsewhere.
Both DLC items — the soundtrack and the Gigantic Cosmetic Pack — have been released. There are no unreleased DLC entries on the store. The developer has not made any announcements about future content for this game, and no post-launch update pattern has been sustained. The game appears to have shipped as a self-contained product and reached its final state with the September 2019 update.
Evidence
Developer added post-game content (secret boss fight, mysterious message) and optimizations, and mentioned porting work. Also mentioned working on a new Rubber Ducky game 'in free time' but noted it was 'a while away to say the least.' No further updates to the game have appeared since this post.
Developer announced and released a demo for Secret Agent Wizard Boy and the International Crime Syndicate, a brand new game — indicating the developer's active focus has moved well beyond Rubber Ducky.
