Evaluation
Ziggurat launched in October 2014 and received a series of content updates over roughly two years. The final content update — Update #14, released on June 2, 2016 — introduced the Gauntlet game mode and improvements to the Agnes character. In that post, Milkstone Studios explicitly stated: "This is probably the last content update for Ziggurat." That statement has never been walked back, and no further content updates have been released since. All developer activity since then has been focused on other Milkstone Studios titles: White Noise 2, Farm Together, Ziggurat 2, Army of Ruin, and Farm Together 2. Ziggurat is a complete, finished product.
Evidence
Update #14 (The Gauntlet) released. Developer explicitly states: 'This is probably the last content update for Ziggurat.' Acknowledges the game has been in development since August 2014 Early Access and thanks players for their support.
Milkstone Studios posts about Ziggurat 2 leaving Early Access — confirming the studio's focus has fully moved on to successor titles, with no mention of further updates to the original Ziggurat.

About this game
Dungeon-Crawling First Person Shooting at its finest! Fast-paced combat! Dozens of perks, spells and enemies! Level ups! Random Dungeons! Traps! Badass bosses! Carrots! Ziggurat is the best combination of First Person Shooter and Rogue-LITE you have ever seen.
Become a neophyte sorcerer, and get ready for your rite of passage: Enter the labyrinth and face dangerous challenges to prove your worth and become a powerful wizard!
The game focuses on fast-paced first person shooting, with an old-school vibe, and updated handling and game mechanics. Dungeon crawling and RPG/Roguelike elements are added into the mix, resulting in a fun, challenging and varied game, with lots of content to discover.
Fight almighty bosses, get through rooms filled with traps, and treasures that may help you in your journey... Each game is a whole new experience!
Unlike most Rogue-thingies, on Ziggurat your combat skills will be the most important asset to keep advancing. Leveling up and randomly generated content is there to improve variety and make each game different, not to make the game a roll dice or an unbearable grind.
Most perks are designed to change the way you have to play or the weapons you'll want to use. Do you want more speed in exchange for less health, or maybe is better to have mana regeneration? Increase drop rate, or refill ammo here and now? No number game here, simple and direct choices.
We've also ensured that, as a proper FPS game, the experience is quick and direct. There's no inventory to manage or the need to compare two almost equal item drops, just weapon selection, and mana/health are usually the bargaining chip.
A whole arsenal of magic and alchemic weapons will be at your disposal. Wreak havoc among your enemies, but watch your mana reserves or you might regret it later!
Magic staves, spellbooks, magic wands... dozens of weapons with different attack strategies that help keeping the game fresh!
