Hello guys, I know I haven't been using the site this much as of late, but I have made an occasion to come here to announce some rather unexpected news.
As of August 2, 2025, I have made the decision to entirely cancel the game "Mashed Up".
Why was "Mashed Up" canned?
To keep things short, the game never really got anywhere in development, since all four of the people involved in making the game were way too busy with other things to be putting time on the game, which I underestimated heavily.
Jay (me), was way too busy with working on Symbolics, OJD:AR and Musical Minibots.
Nigel was way too busy with Split Second (A Jeff Night: Repeeled) and other things.
Natz completely left the team, meaning that nothing can be done about her share of the game anymore.
Betadipsygipsy is too busy with Red Oddities Museum as well as his channel.
I had severely underestimated how much other stuff me and the others were focusing on, to the point where the game was pretty much considered an 'afterthought'.
I had actually hesitated to cancel the game for a few months, but eventually decided to after Natz departed, as there was pretty much no point in working on the game anymore if the creator of two of the game's five major characters featured isn't even there anymore.
What Remained of Mashed Up?
I am able to publicly disclose some stuff that was done during the game's development.
In Game Stuff
Animations
^ This is an animation for the menu screen, meant to be a reference to FNaTI. A jumpscare would follow this animation a while afterward.
^ This is an animation of Buzzy in the office.
Jumpscare animations!!!
^ early vale jumpscares made for test purposes
Other Stuff
^ a behind the scenes look at the models.
^ early beta bear model showcase
^ posters that would've appeared throughout the location.
^ two different map concepts.
^ the office + bts
^ Buzzy's menu renders
So yeah, that's all there is relating to the game's development that I am able to disclose.
I will miss the idea of this game, even though it cannot be realised in its current form any time soon.
The legacy of this game will forever live on in the Mashed Up Night in UJN.
