Spirits of the Hellements - TD

Spirits of the Hellements launched on April 28, 2022 and received a healthy run of post-launch updates. The developer (solo developer Paolo of Hippo Rider Games) shipped three major content updates after launch: the Endless Mode & Jungle Map update (June 6, 2022), the Shrines of Sin update (September 22, 2022), and Content Update 3 / v1.3 (November 22, 2022). In the November 22, 2022 post, Paolo explicitly stated that a previously planned expansion — which would have added new Spirits, maps, and mechanics — would no longer be happening, citing burnout. He indicated he was moving on to a new project, while promising continued bug fixes. On June 16, 2023, Paolo released one final content update (v1.4), adding 22 bonus maps themed around his next game, The Soulwalkers. He described this explicitly as "one last content update" for Spirits of the Hellements. No content has been released or announced for the game since that date. By June 2024, Paolo had moved on to yet another new project, Godslayer Arena, further confirming his focus has shifted away from this title. The game has received no updates of any kind since the v1.4 release in June 2023. The developer's own words make clear that content development for Spirits of the Hellements is complete.
