Evaluation
Slow living with Princess spent approximately two years in Early Access before its full 1.0 release on October 15–16, 2023. During that period, the developer shipped three named major updates — the Sauna Update (December 30, 2021), the Yarandrala Update (May 2, 2022), and the 3rd Major Update (November 30, 2022) — each adding new heroines, story missions, maps, dungeons, and gameplay systems.
On October 16, 2023, the developer posted a farewell note explicitly marking the end of development: "We are finally ending our long journey... This will be the last patch note to end our long, hard-working, and full of joy early access!" The 1.0 release brought all remaining main missions, the fourth heroine Tisse, the Arena, Drake Racing, and additional content expansions. Following launch, the developer issued a handful of bug-fix patches (versions 1.0.2 through 1.0.6) through December 11, 2023, but no new content updates have been announced or shipped since then.
The developer's own words clearly signal that the game shipped as a complete, finished product at 1.0 launch, and the post-launch activity was purely maintenance. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no announced future content, and no ongoing update cadence. The game is complete.
Evidence
Developer explicitly announced the full 1.0 release as the end of Early Access, calling it 'the last patch note to end our long, hard-working, and full of joy early access' and thanking the community for two years of support. All main missions, the fourth heroine Tisse, the Arena, and Drake Racing were added as final content.
Third major Early Access update shipped, adding new missions, maps, dungeons, apothecary expansion to level 3, room decoration, and other features.

About this game
Having been banished from the party of the Heroine, on their quest to defeat the Demon Lord, Red has retired from the front lines and opened an apothecary in the frontier land of Zoltan. Now his happy new life depends on his relationships with a former tsundere princess, and his cute little sister, Ruti, who, as the Heroine, remains the world's only hope for defeating the Demon Lord.

Tips to run a successful apothecary:
1. Collect materials by farming, gathering, fishing, and defeating monsters.
2. Use the collected materials to mix medicines and cook food.
3. Raise your apothecary rank by selling medicines and food in your store.


A young girl, Ruti Ragnason, took command of a weakened regional battalion, and led them to victory over the advance troops of the Demon Lord. She then appeared in the royal capital with undeniable evidence that she had been granted the "Divine Blessing of the Hero."
