Evaluation
The Quest launched on February 19, 2016 as a complete, self-contained old-school RPG. It received one paid expansion — Islands of Ice and Fire — on April 8, 2016, and its soundtrack DLC on launch day. Both DLC are released, and no further DLC has been listed on the store.
The developer was actively patching the game through 2016 and into 2017, addressing bug fixes and minor quality-of-life improvements. The single notable post-launch content milestone came on May 17, 2017, when Redshift Games added Steam Workshop integration, allowing third-party creators (such as Zarista Games) to build and publish expansion worlds. This brought in community-created content like "Thor's Hammer," but it did not constitute an ongoing developer content commitment — it was a platform feature enabling user-generated content.
After a final maintenance patch on April 7, 2020 (a graphics driver workaround for Mac), there have been no further developer communications of any kind. No new expansions, roadmaps, or content announcements have been made. The developer has never indicated that additional first-party content is planned, and the silence since April 7, 2020 is consistent with a game that has reached the end of its active development cycle. The game launched as a finished product and received modest post-launch support before going quiet.
Evidence
Steam Workshop support added, enabling community-created expansion worlds; third-party expansion 'Thor's Hammer' from Zarista Games made available. This is the last major developer-driven feature for the game.
Islands of Ice and Fire expansion released — the only paid story DLC for the game

About this game
The Quest is a beautifully hand-drawn open world role playing game with old school grid-based movement and turn based combat.
In the kingdom of Monares trouble is brewing. The governor of Freymore is missing and the island is in tumult. The mages all prophesy a dark shadow looming over the safety of the kingdom. As an Agent of the king, it's your job to find out what is happening and avert any danger.
Choose from five customizable races and an array of skills, weapons, armor and enchantments, and explore a huge world of four cities and a wilderness of mountains, caves, lakes and forests – full of mystery, magic and intriguing challenges. Meet the many inhabitants, each with its own agenda and attitude towards your character. Some will be helpful, some greedy or lascivious or just plain mean. You will have many choices, including some that may place you against the law, along your way to the dramatic ending of your own choosing.
