Wishing all our supportive friends a joyful and prosperous New Year in advance!
⚠️ **PLEASE NOTE:** As an Early Access title, MushDash is still under active development. Game content remains incomplete and may undergo significant changes. If you prefer a more polished experience, we recommend waiting to observe further development progress before purchasing or playing.
This update marks 笨笨Bon final contribution to MushDash this month. We've addressed several known issues, but there are no major new features this time (a New Year update was originally planned, but, well—plans change ).
MushDash began as a small creative concept in November 2024 and entered Early Access in October 2025. Over the following five months of content updates and bug fixes, we have come to recognize that the current player experience still falls short of expectations. For this, the development team offers our sincere apologies to all players.
What started as a modest idea grew into a project that demanded immense dedication. Though the gameplay may appear simple and the content limited on the surface, we invested considerable time in deeply refactoring multiple core modules of the Unreal Engine 4, including but not limited to the GAS system, GameMode, Character, and PlayerController classes. Throughout development, we continuously refined our architecture—rewriting and optimizing systems as needed. Yet despite our best efforts, we ultimately faced limitations in our own capabilities and the complexities of networked gameplay mechanics. As a result, we were unable to fully deliver the smooth, stable experience players deserve—a shortcoming we deeply regret.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to @CrazyDog and @Neighbor's Cat for their tremendous contributions during development. Together, we built a cross-platform matchmaking and friend system supporting Windows, iOS, and Android, and shared the excitement and anticipation of launch day. However, as team members have now entered the workforce, we must devote our primary energy to our professional careers and personal lives. Consequently, we can no longer sustain long-term updates and maintenance of the project in our spare time.
Dreams endure; passion remains. Going forward, MushDash will be updated and maintained by a new team of developers. Thank you to every player who accompanied us on this journey. We hope to meet again—perhaps in an even better creation someday.
