Jonathon Bont, creator of Trashmania Trilogy, said on Twitter today that the project has been put on indefinite hold. It’s not necessarily cancelled, but don’t count on it being revived anytime soon.

Bont explained that money set aside for Trashmania Trilogy’s development is now needed for his personal situation. He made sure to apologize to fans looking forward to its release.

Due to severe current issues in my personal life, I'm putting development of Trashmania Trilogy for Wii U on hold indefinitely. #gamedev

Development could resume tomorrow, next week, year, or never. Worst case I'll have to use money set aside for gamedev towards other things.

I hate to do this to everyone excited for the game, and I'd hate to put so much hard work to waste, but this is major turning point in life.

OXiAB Game Studio is working on a new indie effort for Wii U titled “Canvaleon”. The project is a stealth-platformer in which players use the environment and skills to deal with enemies and threats.

“Camouflages” is the big concept here. This function lets players mimic elements of scenery to hide from enemies. The higher your “Camo Percentage”, the lesser chance there is that enemies will detect you. Camouflages can be obtained at a store or by painting them with a paint tool. Both require the color butterflies collectible.

Screenshots plus a story over for Canvaleon are posted below.
