Evaluation
Self Reliance launched on February 7, 2019 and has received four major content updates since then: Episode 3 (April 19, 2019), Episode 4 (July 28, 2019), Episode 5 (February 7, 2020), and a 2.0 update adding Episode 6 and new features (September 10, 2021). This establishes a pattern of the developer steadily adding new episodes, roughly every 6–12 months. The store description explicitly states the team is "still constantly updating the game," suggesting ongoing content is intended.
However, the last developer communication of any kind was the 2.0 update post on September 10, 2021 — nearly five years before today's date of June 26, 2026. This silence far exceeds the historical update window. The developer has never announced the game is complete or that no further content is planned, but they have also not provided any update or explanation for the prolonged pause. It is unclear whether development is still actively continuing.
Evidence
2.0 update released, adding Episode 6 and all-new features. This is the last known developer communication.
Episode 5 released on the game's one-year anniversary, with code and performance improvements.
