If Rob did not implode

honestly

he might've gotten asked to

Mcmillen talked about how he recently has gotten really into roleplaying/ boardgames

I feel like if urealms live was still going strong, he might've been on his radar

Mike Stoklasa is a nice get

is that the only RLM they got?

I didn't know Ed and Florian were still on good terms

oh i see rich and jay

Mcmillen was a Newgrounds guy, if Rob was still active at all I think he could have gotten an invite

yeah

it definitely skews more towards modern streamers

but there are enough old school ones too

Scenario: You are Edmund McMillen and God tells you "you get to add one any eceleb voice to this list" who do you choose?

Vinny (gplays)

im too lazy to go through it is matt chapman in it

(strongbad)

No

also, https://www.mobygames.com/game/252481/mewgenics/credits/windows/ since I forgot it's impossible to ctrl-F in Discord

homestar runner might be too unc at this point

296 people

idk, I get the feeling this was 80% marketing stunt to get Twitch streamers

most likely

and 20% "cool way to get cameos from people he liked"

Its a who's who of people I don't give a shit about anymore

Also

this game 100% is too hard for Twitch streamers

or maybe I just underestimate the average retard's SRPG skills

no i think the average person really fucking sucks at them

mewgenics is not balanced or tilted towards like

the ""average"" gamer

as cringe as that is to say

but i also think isaac really isnt either

it's not built around making OP combos (until much much later on)

so

which makes it a better overall tactics game

you get good combos, but very few "this trivializes the game" ones

I feel like they were confident people would get as into it as they got into Isaac

There are major problems I have with it, but uh.... it's just really fun

Rivers cuomo???

insane numbers for a $25 indie game

Yeah I said edmund mention it already beat Isaacs all time peak

@Spooky Phijkchu trapped Boris in the corner over here with mountainous and he couldn't move or counter. Ignore the dead cat over there. Really wish I was playing Mewgenics right now

mountainous and hard headed

yeah

I really like the fight against the two anus cats

that's my favorite boss of world 1

I like this game but it's sort of overwhelming as fuck

very bold of edmund to make a roguelike in 2026 with no rerolls

You can get re-roll items But I think coins should have had more of a purpose during runs (other than a couple extra level-ups). A coin-gated re-roll would have probably worked

Right now, coins are mostly a meta currency, so there's not a huge incentive to hoard them

I have like 200 coins and maxed out my food after a few runs now I think I need to create good cats for the next run through breeding

and I can buy furniture too I guess

idk who else here has been putting runs in World 2

but I fucking hate the Gent fight

got the first credits in Mewgenics

My feelings are complicated, I think the game is too hard, but it's the right kind of difficulty, which is weird for both to be true

Meta progression (cat donations) is too slow, and I don't think it's because I'm missing a mechanic or anything

And it's weird for there to be a 4x speed option in-combat, but for all the connecting parts to be running at (what feels like) 0.5x speed especially after credits, I would have liked for there to just be an "I'm a degen and want to play the game" mode

Only other major critique is I think the decision point stat-check map nodes are a missed opportunity, and could have been reworked

I think the game is one of the better tactics games I've played, but I can feel where its is starting to break down at the edges

idk if it is a later unlock, but this game really needs a auto battle box to send off duds to either be turned in to trade ins or decent tier genetic material; the main game takes way too long in comparison to how things move in the subgame.

Also the negative events are so punishing, the fact that so many things give some variant of psychosis is awful, you just basically have to deliberately kill your cat sometimes.

random thing = hard is too annoying in mewgenics

some events can actually make stuff unwinnable

multiple bad floors in a row in isaac are winnable with skill

no amount of strategy can save your cats being instantly unusable right before a boss

it's just oh ok

yep

I also am not really sure if the random squares are really ever "worth" it

mutation ones are

but most of them the item/health/coin reward is kinda eh

pets are fun

uusually when roguelikes give you rng events with choices too

you can usually pick one to avoid the risk

but this game is more so just "pick one and you might get fucked lol"

not that that makes it bad i just dont think it adds much
