Mew-genics back in production after six years stuck up a tree
After six years of getting sidetracked by other projects, Edmund McMillen (The Binding Of Isaac, Super Meat Boy) and pals confirmed via Twitter that Mew-genics is in development once more. It appears that the game of ethically questionable cat breeding has changed a bit since we last saw it, with a new focus on combat and exploration built on a foundation of splicing feline DNA. Programmer…

My lifelong dream to become a cat lady is stymied by my flatmate's allergies, but at least I'll get to become a virtual cat lady. Edmund McMillen, the co-creator of Super Meat Boy and Binding of Isaac, has announced that he will likely resume making Mew-genics. It's a game about breeding and caring for hordes of strange cats then entering them in cat competitions, with…

Team Meat, makers of Super Meat Boy, have announced their intent to become an indie game developer. What does that mean? That's my cruel way of saying that the two-person team have put their previously announced new game Mew-Genics on hold, and released a fuzzy, live-action trailer for a new game called A Voyeur For September, about which there are no details other than that…

Mew-Genics, the cat-breeding-based follow-up to Super Meat Boy, has been in development for almost a year and half - that's almost a decade in cat years. Too long, too long! We'll all be crawling under the nearest chest-of-drawers to die soon. At least we finally have some in-game footage to look at, even if it does take the form of an animated GIF. But given…
The biggest tragedy of my life is that I had to move into a building with a 'no pets' policy, which is an odd policy given that the landlord has let out flats to obvious criminals and a scary family with about seven angry people squashed into each room. But a purring furball? How dare I even contemplate such a thing! So I had to…

Bits and pieces of genetically modified cats have been spilling out of Team Meat's web-gullet for a few months now but the most recent hairball of information catapulted onto the blog contains the clearest description of the game to date. It's a "Cat Lady Sim", with a cut-away of a house crawling with felines, each of which has a unique appearance, set of stats and…
Last time we checked in with Team Meat's Mew-Genics, Alec was purring over the title theme: "I could probably leave that playing for a disturbingly long time. It’s very Danny Elfman, BUT WITH CATS and a bit of skiffle." Imagine how excited he will be when he sees a five minute video of the chaps behind that track talking about and demonstrating the album-length contribution…

Four words all but guaranteed to win my attention: "a game about cats." When said four words are twinned with the knowledge that the game in question comes from the creators of Super Meat Boy and one half of The Binding Of Isaac team, my attention becomes unwavering. We know precious little about Team Meat's Mew-Genics other than that it'll be "randomly generated, strange and…
Returning from holiday has filled me with anxiety. If I deem the fact that Team Meat are developing a game about cats to be newsworthy, I fear that one of the blustering colonels who make up 42% of RPS' readership will choke indignantly on his morning brandy and then send me a missive of terrible indignation. "Sir, your recent declaration that the announcement of Team…
