So after many years of development and a butt ton of dev blog posts, I think its time to pull back the curtain a bit and talk about launch and the current state of the game.
As of the time of this post we are roughly 11 months away from being content complete, most would assume that means we launch around new year but that probably won't be the case.
Some of you were there for the launch of Bumbo as well as Afterbirth+, Two of my worst launches and both launches went wrong because we locked a release date too early then crunched too hard to hit it. Mewgenics is special, easily the game I'm most proud of and a joy to work on... I DONT WANT TO FUCK IT UP! So once we are content complete we will nail down a reasonable launch date in early 2025 and announce it, but till then we will continue this song and dance to lay the groundwork on what this game is all about, and give some behind the scenes info on the development process.
now on to the content! ...
Remember the radio? You know that thing that still kind of exists that we no longer use? Well Mewgenics has its own radio station, WMEW 99.9. This station plays out while you are in your house hub, tending to your cats, expanding your house, and placing your furniture. Much like Mewgenics gameplay, the radio is also randomly generated featuring tons of musical tracks introduced by a voice you all know and love: Matthias Bossi (narrator for The Binding of Isaac). in this clip we also dive into another amazing addition to WMEW, Jimmy "The Hammer" Valentine ( voiced/created by Carl Edge of [url=https://www.youtube.com/@ciprianorene]Fishmasters[/url] ). there are tons of bits done by Carl, Matthias and many others to really create that illusion of a free form radio show beamed in directly to your game!

We often get asked what the hell is the Mewgenics story about? and my honest response is that mewgenics is less about telling a story and more about allowing the player to live in this mewgenics world of boon county and letting their actions in the world and interactions with NPCs slowly form a story... but more on that later.
enjoy!
