Where are we now!? Here’s a little update.
Gamepad support is complete! (The game will be 100% Deck compatible at launch.)
Achievements have been added (though we may add more in the late polishing stages).
All text has been sent to localizers, and localization has started!
What’s left?
Since we finished all the required cutscenes, I’ve added one more and put our lead animator on remaking the game’s intro (the original Mewgenics trailer animation). A few of the cutscenes need to be scored, and a few others need touch-up work.
The game’s “continue save” intro is mostly done but still in pieces. It features a randomly generated ending each time you play, so that will need some love this month.
All the pending UI work—like the pause screen, goal markers, and reorder buttons—still needs to be added.
The game’s credits need to be 100% finished (this may need to wait till the end of dev).
It’s not much, but it’s still a bit stressful to have these things looming. 71 days seems like a lot, but for a game this size we need to get review copies to the press 3–4 weeks before launch, so really it’s more like 40 days to finish all the major things and 31 days to polish the minor things.
But now that all that’s out of the way... IT’S TIME FOR PART 3 OF MY MEWGENICS LETS PLAY!
Will my cats be mauled? Will I get a TPK? Will I make a fool of myself? Probably... but it all makes for a great video! Go watch!
And if that wasn’t enough, we got yet ANOTHER let’s play—this one was live with Dan Gheesling!
And for those of you interested in game design talk, Tyler and I go deep with Thomas Brush in this neato podcast!
Oh, and the Wookash podcast as well!
There might be more, but I really gotta get back to work...
Final reminder: WISHLIST MEWGENICS ON STEAM!
