It’s time for yet another Let’s Play Mewgenics, with your host Average Ed (a nickname a guy I used to call Cabbage gave me... before I realized he didn’t like being called Cabbage).
ONLY 4 MONTHS REMAIN BEFORE RELEASE! 132 days if you wanna get technical.
HOLY SHIT! It’s happening! Time to do a little dev round-up to show you where we are.
- 5.5 cutscenes remain! (2 are animated but lack score/SFX)
- Everything else is in-game and functional! (woo-hoo!)
So what are we doing now, you ask?
- Testing: We’re starting the final batch of testing with other devs and trusted friends today! This will be our largest batch of testers, and they’ll be primarily focused on balance feedback and listing any missing art/animation/SFX we may have overlooked.
- Localization: We’ve partnered with Warlocs (the same team that did all the localization work for UFO 50). They will be localizing all 140,000+ words into Spanish, French, probably German and maybe more if we have time... either way im sure there will be some post launch as well.
- Gamepad/Steam Deck support: Tyler will be working on gamepad support to make sure we fully support the Steam Deck, as well as preparing the game for console ports next year!
- Polish: This is the meat of what most of the team will be hyper-focused on for the last 4 months of dev: polishing animations, adding particle effects, and making sure every aspect of the game looks smooth, polished, and lush!
- Balance: My current focus. The 3rd act of the game is a bit too difficult; with feedback from the new testers I’ll do my best to make sure average players can finish the game without a ton of issues, while still keeping it deep and challenging enough for skilled players to enjoy.
And that’s it! Tune in next month when Tyler takes on the internet in his first-ever public stream of Mewgenics, where he asks fans to choose his actions! Will he survive all the bad advice? Maybe! Who knows, really... Anyway, I’ll leave you with this.
