Evaluation
Shoujo City reached its 1.0 release on May 16, 2020. In October 2021, the developer posted that development was "coming to an end" with no further updates planned beyond translation contributions. That statement has been thoroughly contradicted by everything that followed: the developer has continued shipping feature updates on a consistent basis for years afterward. The update history shows patches arriving in January 2023, July 2024, March 2025 (which also noted "one content update for Shoujo City 3D is planned later this year"), November 2025, April 2026, June 2026, and most recently Update 1.19 on July 31, 2026 — just 27 days before today's date. These updates have added new gameplay systems (bathing, water soccer), new customization options, new items, map expansions, and engine upgrades, going well beyond simple bug fixes. The developer remains clearly and actively engaged with the game, with updates arriving roughly every one to three months. No announcement of concluded development has been made since the 2021 statement, which the developer's own subsequent actions have effectively retracted.
Evidence
Update 1.19 shipped, adding bathtub functionality, new cat backpacks, improved pillow case artwork, and animation fixes — the most recent developer communication.
Update 1.18 shipped, adding an improved hairstyle constructor with 21 back styles and 7 fringes, additional foliage in the school area, and various bug fixes.
