"yeah it should get dark at 4:45 pm" supporters of this are actually insane

Our December issue includes a 6-page feature on Mewgenics! We played several hours of the cat breeding tactics game and spoke to creators Edmund McMillen and @tylerglaiel.com about its long development history and why they believe it's their best work yet. gameinformer.com/feature/2025...

one tester has now 100%'d mewgenics. he has 1100 hours played

I LOVE SEEING MORE PYROPHINA! :D

We've updated the text and screenshots on our steam page again, check it out! store.steampowered.com/app/686060/M...

I think the issue I have with the art style of the halo remake is that it changes the vibes too much. I remember Halo as being full of brutalist concrete structures. The remake says "that was a tech limitation, they were meant to be shiny sci-fi metal instead"

Still in the localization mines for a bit but I gotta tackle Gamepad Controls after that. For a game that is so heavily mouse + keyboard based with all the UI being designed around it, I'm not sure I have a better way to handle most of that other than "fancy virtual mouse".

deep in the localization mines mining LOCALIZATION_STRINGS

Funny how in real life 2 people in the same group can have the same name and its just a thing that happens that you barely think about, but if you do that in fiction then there MUST be a "reason" for it

Kids these days and their brainrot skibidi "6 7" ohio memes, back in my day we had GOOD brainrot memes like badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger mushroom mushroom

lol also curiously, this is quite similar visually to the one used in Sekiro

got the "Todo: Localization" comments down under 100 now

MEWGENICS - the big preview! Learn everything you need to know about the insanely deep cat-breeding turn based strategy game from @tylerglaiel.com and Edmund McMillen (Super Meat Boy, Binding of Isaac). youtu.be/VyxbfbfXzQM?...

Tomorrow on noclip_2 we launch our first BIG PREVIEW. Featuring deep access to the game and exclusive interviews with Edmund McMillen & @tylerglaiel.com - we explore the design philosophy, gameplay, thematic origins and long history of....MEWGENICS! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vyxb...

chatgpt is very good at python these days. kinda spent most of the day having it write ad hoc scripts to migrate text from data files to localization spreadsheets for me. requires pretty specific instructions to do well now, but gets it all mostly correct without much prodding now

Game Previews used to BIG EVENTS. So we're trying to make them that again. A 35 minute deep dive into MEWGENICS featuring interviews, new gameplay and loads more dropping on noclip_2 tomorrow morning. Super proud of it.

its incredible how many parts of my phone broke after the latest android update. does google just have AI writing all their code now?

Ed also posted a second "gameplay preview" video today. I will be recording one live later this month as well, where you will get to vote on what event and level up choices I make. This game is cool! www.youtube.com/watch?v=13d3...

shipped the last significant gameplay related feature in mewgenics today, all thats left now is finishing up cutscenes, plus balance, testing, and polish. also localization and gamepad controls

when you notice that code that absolutely should not be working just accidentally has the correct behavior because of a different bug

played hades 2 over the weekend (havent gotten a real ending yet but have beat each path a few times so far) and my general opinion is that its a fairly shallow game that masks that well enough with its sound+art+story to keep it fun for a bit. much like the first game

hades 2 sure is hades again isnt it

I played through this a month ago and its very good and very funny. I never finished getting over it but I finished this one. It's a lot fairer in many ways and enjoyable all the way through

Last call for submitting cat names to us for Mew, if you want your cat's name in the game do it now or it wont be! forms.gle/wsrxD52MsJ6i...

I know few people care but one of the nice parts of using your own engine is that your install folder can look like this instead of being a mess of folders and dlls

borderlands 4 picked the absolute worst time to release haha. even though I do wanna play it eventually theres just too many other games coming out currently that I simply care about more

He does touch upon how one of the things silksong lets you do is "go somewhere else and come back later", but I do think it's important to emphasize how that option works well in games *because* there aren't "difficulty options" in a menu somewhere.

media criticisms of the form "why <popular thing> is actually bad" are tiring and boring. media criticisms of the form "why <weird janky thing> is actually good" are cool and interesting. there's stuff to learn from those even if its just random people having an opinion

the Design Delve guy lists himself as an indie game dev but I can't find info anywhere of what game's he's worked / is working on? Just curious btw

the perils of using google as a calculator is that sometimes you end up typing something trivially easy into it and it starts recommending you Youtube Babies videos

I just find hollow knight and silksong's settings and characters to be really inspired, like "its a dark fantasy setting except everyone is bugs" but they go whole in on that, its not "a small civilization of bugs under a world dominated by bigger creatures". its just all bugs

Episode 2 of our podcast is live! All four owners are here today talking about Silksong and more. In the second half, we have an interview with Edmund McMillen and @tylerglaiel.com. We discuss their upcoming game, Mewgenics, and the challenges of game dev! www.rogue.site/podcasts/rog...

recreated some weird fractal I invented as a teen by typing numbers and math operations randomly, which I had ended up documenting which was nice since there's no chance I would ever rediscover the weird formula for it again www.shadertoy.com/view/wfXBz7

my favorite games of all time are all ones where you explore a big interconnected world and slowly become familiar with it. metroidvanias and souls likes and exploration puzzlers and such.

Silksong is good. its very much an "if it ain't broke don't fix it" kind of game. The movement is the main improvement over hollow knight, everything else is pretty much about what I expected of it

pet peeve in like nearly every 2D platformer that wants to bind an action to "down" or "up", this is ALWAYS annoying with an analog stick, if you're also trying to hold left/right while doing so. analog stick is not the same type of input as 4 individual arrow keys

silksong sure has a lot of bugs in it

I misclick this fucking "ask google AI about this page" button like 30 times a day ever since they added it to chrome

new game by Edmund McMillen and @tylerglaiel.com just got a huge hour long gameplay reveal and it looks so good!! so excited to pick this up www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAiI...

MEWGENICS LOOKS SO GOOD GRAAAHHH www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAiI... I CAN'T WAIT FOR FEBRUARY!!! #mewgenics

All of the major game content in Mewgenics is done now as of yesterday. There's still some minor bits left to do and lots of polish + balance + bugfixing, but the important bits are all there! See you all in february!
