The store description presents it as a finished product with a defined set of 10 worlds covering the history of typography — no mention of future content, updates, or expansions. The developer has never posted any news, patches, or announcements on Steam. With over a decade since release and no developer communication of any kind, this game launched as a finished product and has remained that way.
