Furthermore, Iron Tower Studio's lead artist Oscar has given a tentative plan for the future support for the title on the game's official forums. Among other things, the developers are considering backporting the combat improvements that will be implemented in the dungeon crawl they are currently working on, which shares its setting and systems with The Age of Decadence:
I don't see us fully abandoning support in a long time. With this update, the great majority of bugs are fixed, and we have quite a lot new content since the release (especially for thieves). The May update will have new content, but we haven't really spoken about it since we are focused on the content for the combat crawler. Also, it's quite possible we'll be porting back to AoD improvements from the CC after it is released, which should be closer to the end of the year.
