Welcome to 2026! The year of the cat!
We have been very, very busy over the holiday break because guess what? In 9 days we are sending review copies of the game to the press!
After talking to a few people who did previews and understood the scope of the game, we have decided to give writers a solid 30-ish days to really dig in deep and explore the game fully.
Speaking of previews, in late November we let a bunch of overseas outlets get their hands on the game for a few days... and here are some of the highlights of the previews they wrote!
“MEWGENICS HIDES ONE OF THE BEST GAMES OF NEXT YEAR, ALONGSIDE INCEST AND TAPEWORMS”
- Games.cz
"One of the funniest indie video games we have recently tried and one of the richest and most innovative exponents of the genre ever."
"I came away deeply excited for Mewgenics. When my preview access was taken away I was distraught. It looks to be an absolute banger."
"A masterpiece by two extremely talented game designers who break the boundaries of genres in an ingenious way."
"2025 isn't even over yet and I've already played my best game of 2026..."
"If the new game from the creator of "The Binding of Isaac" can maintain the level of the first 30 hours of gameplay, then my game of the year 2026 is already decided before the year has even begun."
- Gamestar
"Probably one of the deepest and most addictive tactical RPGs we've played in recent years." "the wait was worth it."
- Gamekult
"In my time with Mewgenics, I haven't even scratched the surface of its features, and I've already had more awesome moments than other games offer in their entire runtime."
And we also got another video preview! This time from GameSpot!
“This game is incredible, February 10th can’t come soon enough.”
- Gamespot
...shit is getting real. But I know what you came here for... the last in my let's play series!!!
This month I try and best Tyler and destroy the junkyard... or do I?
DEV UPDATE:
So where are we now? Here is the lowdown.
The game is done and ready for review!!!
Localization continues. Our first batch of extra languages includes French, Spanish, German, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese. We want to have these in for launch but if they aren't ready by then, it will come shortly after. More languages will come post launch depending on demand!
What is left???
Polish! The remaining 40 days will be spent fixing up cutscenes, adding any missing sounds, fixing bugs, and smoothing out any edges we may run into.
Credits: The final "cutscene" still needs to be 100%, mostly gathering names and fluffing it up.
Features Trailer: Flynn is finishing up yet another live action trailer we will be pushing on Feb 1st that will show off the game's features and say the word pussy like 100 times.
Release Trailer: Marty is working on remaking the original Mewgenics intro theme song animation. We hope to launch that a day or two before release.
Hype Train: Currently strategizing a way to make the last 14 days leading up to launch special for die hard fans... stay tuned.
Anyway, I might do another blog post before Feb 1st... depending on how much time I have.
WISH LIST THE GAME ON STEAM! AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS!
MEWGENICS IS COMING!
