Evaluation

Treasure Hunters: Prologue is a free standalone prologue for the full game "Treasure Hunters," released on July 17, 2025. It was built and maintained by a solo developer as a community-building and testing vehicle ahead of the full game's launch. On March 4, 2026, the developer posted what was explicitly titled "One last update to Prologue" [NEWS-1]. In this post, the developer confirmed that the full game "Treasure Hunters" would launch on March 11, 2026, and described the prologue update as bringing it up to date with the first two dungeons and early item tiers from the full game — so players could try it before the full release. The developer expressed that while the full game's release marks the culmination of nearly three years of work, any continued updates and support would be directed at the full game ("Treasure Hunters"), not this prologue. The phrase "I'll keep updating the game even after the release" from that post refers to the full game, not the prologue. The prologue's own update history ended with that March 4, 2026 post — explicitly called the "last update." The full game launched as a separate product on March 11, 2026. This prologue therefore shipped its final update on March 4, 2026, and no further content or updates have been communicated for it since. It has served its purpose as a free preview product and is now complete.
