Evaluation
STARDROP is a single-player narrative adventure game developed solo by Joure Visser. It left Early Access and launched at version 1.0 on February 14, 2019. At launch, the developer stated that some additional content was still planned — specifically a remake of the "Odyssey" side mission and optional new areas to explore. The S-VR update on August 12, 2019 added a new in-game virtual reality shooting facility, which appears to be the last piece of substantive new content shipped for the game.
The most significant and recent communication is a developer update posted on April 23, 2022. In it, Joure Visser confirmed that the STARDROP project file is no longer compiling, making it effectively impossible to patch or add content without a major overhaul. The developer described moving on to smaller, more manageable projects including a remake of "Play With Gilbert" and new games like "Whiskered Away" and "Project STARDUST." While the post is warm toward STARDROP and doesn't formally close the door, the practical reality described — a non-compiling project, outdated mechanics, and focus entirely redirected to other games — means new content for STARDROP is not realistically forthcoming.
There have been no developer communications about STARDROP since April 23, 2022. The only DLC listed is the Original Soundtrack, which has been released. No unreleased DLC exists on the store. All evidence points to the game having reached its final state with the August 2019 content update, with the April 2022 post confirming the developer has been unable to return to it since.
Evidence
Developer confirms the STARDROP project is no longer compiling and they no longer have time to fix it. Developer has moved on to other, smaller projects and describes the old codebase as too outdated to work with easily. No plans for new STARDROP content are announced.
S-VR update added a new in-game virtual reality shooting facility as post-launch content. This appears to be the last major content update shipped for the game.

About this game
STARDROP is a single-player first-person interactive narrative adventure game where you take on the role of a Salvage & Rescue Operative named Aryn Vance. With her partner, John Kindley, at her side, the two embark on a journey full of mystery and suspense with some laughs along the way. STARDROP tells a genuine heart-felt story about a long lost starship, its crew and one individual in particular.
STARDROP presents its narrative through traditional cut scenes and in-game cinematic story telling as you play. The main campaign is where the heart of the game's narrative lies but you will also be able to experience the universe of STARDROP through its side missions.
Exploration lies at the game's core but so does accessibility. While the game offers puzzles and asks the player to figure out what to do or where to go next, the flow of information within the game will always guide you. Objectives are always made clear and designed with logic in mind. However, those who venture off the beaten path will find that there are more than enough secrets to be discovered.
Throughout the game the player will be able to interact with various types of interfaces such as control panels, elevators and security systems as well as other various interactive objects such as computer interfaces where you can read emails, listen to audio logs and more.
Your All-Purpose-Design (APD) space suit is equipped with a set of tools that you will need in order to succeed. The suit comes with a built-in flashlight. The object scanner enables you to identify objects of interest that you can interact with and it's also capable of zero gravity mobility under certain circumstances.
The DataPad is an essential tool. It enables you to view your current objective, read audio and text logs that you've collected and it also comes with a built-in mini-map.
Our main focus will always be on the game's story but we strife to deliver breathtaking visuals where possible. Our efforts have lead us to win Best 3D Graphics in the Intel Level Up Contest of 2017. We will continue to uphold these standards if not lifting them up even higher.
