Mew-Genics

Who knew the terminator would be descended from cats?

This game looks like it's coming along great! I cannot wait to get my hands on it and start... breeding cats!

P.S. It's also a nice demonstration of the new steam controller, without being a steam controller demo :)

Yeah totally. He needed a mouse but with a controller :D

I love Team Meat's cute, sadistic ways. This one should be quite fun!

Every time I see a post about Mew-Genics, I get more excited!

But I still don't really know what I'm excited for!

Seems kinda like the Creatures games? Of @CapnCurry's Halloween story?

I think you might be right. It looks like a sandbox with a story of sorts focusing on cat breeding. Seems like there will be many reasons why you might want to do this, not withstanding it sounds like a creepy amount of fun. I think it's good they are being so coy about what it is, I mean I bet they know more than I do...

That said, I can't wait to ... breed strange cats?

Uh... Mewwwwwwwwwwwwwww Genics!

You are totally right, this game really does look strange... and wonderful at the same time. I am going to pick this up but after his description of the game I was like "huh, you cat can die of aids." But there is always a dark tone to McMillen games and hope this one is as awesome as it sounds! :D

Found this interview with Tommy Refenes of Team Meat: http://youtu.be/nCpW0WbCVzQ

Interesting things, plus he talks a bit about Mew-Genics. This game looks freaky-awesome! I've always wanted to try out that cat-lady lifestyle. I mean, it must be comforting, right?

Thanks for sharing. I liked the parts about Mew-Genics! I kept watching and found the rest of the interview to be hit or miss. Seems like a nice enough guy but I don't relate to much of what he says but I am geek that likes people and he admittedly does not :D

Work around manipulative/selfish people long enough, and you can easily pick up a jaded perspective, toward them and people in general. At the very least, it can be exhausting. Nice to know that he's self-aware and responsible in his jadedness :) Also nice to know that the world has the good to balance the bad!

Have you seen Indie Game: The Movie yet?

I have, it was a really interesting movie and quite enjoyed it. From any angle it seems like a ton of work but when the output is Meatboy or Fez, it seems worth it.

Then again Tommy can't look at Meatboy code without having it effect him negatively... so theres that :D

The look of it reminds me of the old C64 (Atari 400/800?) game, Little Computer People. Where you had a somewhat randomly generated person living in a small house.

Yeah, it does. Sim games have always been very interesting to me. SimTown, SimAnt, SimCity, SimEarth. Man I loved SimEarth, kind of hope that would be made better in Spore. Didn't hear good things about Spore but I SO want to try it out still.

Anyone play the Creatures games back in the day? That's what immediately came to mind for me. Much more recent than C64, but it goes to show that things that work well will keep showing up.

Yes. I'll have to dig through my web history, but there was an article about the developer of the Creatures series and something new he was working on. Creatures was amazing, if a little too much like child-rearing.

Also +1 to @scrypt's comment about working around jaded people. I've been working in technical support (internal & external) for some time now and between the people I work with, the people I work for and the people on the phone, it's extremely difficult not to become disgruntled with the behaviours of others.

That does look pretty cool. Whatever the game is, I want this as well.

Totally. Wondering if it will come to mobile?

For some reason I assumed it was a mobile game. Shows you the paradigm I'm living in these days lol

It may very well be, they haven't said much about its release platforms yet. Ill post when they do FEAR NOT!
