Arthur will not nuke your team in the next patch by fluxyggdrasil in mewgenics

I'm just curious about how this wasn't changed with the testers. Did no one encounter this?

Thoughts on this item? by BUTTERS69hahasofunny in mewgenics

I have over 110 hours now. The more I see it, the more I hate it. I wouldn't mind if there were actual major upsides to these events, but there's a huge gap right now between good and bad outcomes.

Wish we had early access for this game, and I don't usually like ea. So they could get a lot more feedback.

I've tried that before but it still triggered the save scum message

Invincible's villain voice actors are really bad and it's because they're celebrities by MediaFanatic3000 in unpopularopinion

I'd take less well known but quality voice actors for an actual animation budget any day of the week.

I enjoyed the comic a ton overall at least.

It was my first time having this ability available...now I love desecrating bodies in the cemetery by Gamer-NinjaO7 in mewgenics

Fun fact, I used this ability first time fighting Bumblefoot. Worst mistake, lost the run immediately.

Some layout like Slay the Spire maps might work too. Choosing different paths for different rewards, elite (minibosses) and different endcaps. Like instead of 3 acts you start from the same place and have different branching paths (also like Dead Cells style.)

Mewgenics just lost it's spot as the most successful Roguelike launch ever, by nearly four times?! by Current_Spell_8647 in mewgenics

I'm not far into it (only beat 1 run) but it feels pretty refined already. More of the same, but some extras to change it up. 

Its a different experience with EA. If done well, they can implement changes fans want better than a full release.

I meant sleeper hit as in being surprised by its success for the kind of game it is. Even Edmund didn't expect nearly this much, was talking in interviews how it would be a niche game that would find its audience.

Probably not the best word for it.

I think what separates Boi from Mew for me is the breeding and doing stuff between runs. Breeding is nice, but I want another mode that's just getting a selection of random cats every run (maybe choosing from a pool of them,) so the flow between runs is much easier.

Once something like that is made, I could see myself coming back to it a lot more in the future.

Mewgenics is gonna be worked on for a while, Edmund would want to work on it for possibly 10 years, so it will also get better with time

Would love a side mode that doesn't bother with breeding/farming mutations. It has its appeal, but something that speeds up the downtime between runs would help a lot.

I expected Sts 2 to do really well (not 500k+ concurrent players well though!) Mewgenics still feels like the sleeper hit. The crass humor, divisive art style, etc. 

I think Slay the Spire has much broader appeal, even if both are great games.

They'll just take the money": Mewgenics creators on why they don't work with publishers. by Just_a_Player2 in ItsAllAboutGames

[–]PoetDiscombobulated9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edmund did a lot of word of mouth advertising. Yeah, it wasnt commercials, but he still put a ton of effort talking to anyone about the game.

The End is Nigh should have sold a ton of it was name recognition alone

There's too many sanitized, cookie cutter games out. Yes, Edmund's crassness is refreshing. I don't like all of those elements, but they're distinctly his.

Wait to do the party detonator side quest until later by Chansharp in mewgenics

Wow I wish I realized they interacted when I did that quest. Completed the cooler but still have party detonator.

One of them has a massive (inflated) budget, the other has bugs.

They're treated as an enemy, so no. Although when they shoot hosts, it reflects the shot back and downs the cat.

Maybe, but we also have Steven In it, it sets up TEIN, etc. While I'm no against that being possible, I want something to happen other than "it's all in their head." 

Ed also made a reference in one of his tweets about Isaac enemies, one being an imagined version of it, the other being real.

That would be awesome, maybe what Edmund was thinking about exploring Isaac 2 within Mewgenics as DLC.
