| Patch & Beta Branch Info | 2026-02-19 | Hello! Tyler here! I've been fighting a cold this past week so this patch is slightly later than I initially expected. As much as I wanted to just push this live immediately... with nearly 100k concurrent players still I figured its PROBABLY safer to use a beta branch instead. Here's how to opt into the beta branch on steam. Right Click "Mewgenics" in your steam library, then navigate here and enable the beta branch. If all goes well I should push this update to the main branch tomorrow. If you have any issues with this beta branch please post in here or on the discord in the appropriate channelMEWGENICS 1.0.20689This patch is focused on majo |

| 41 days remain! | 2026-01-01 | Welcome to 2026! The year of the cat!We have been very, very busy over the holiday break because guess what? In 9 days we are sending review copies of the game to the press!After talking to a few people who did previews and understood the scope of the game, we have decided to give writers a solid 30-ish days to really dig in deep and explore the game fully.Speaking of previews, in late November we let a bunch of overseas outlets get their hands on the game for a few days... and here are some of the highlights of the previews they wrote!“MEWGENICS HIDES ONE OF THE BEST GAMES OF NEXT YEAR, ALONGSIDE INCEST AND TAPEWORMS”- Games.cz"One of the fu |
| 71 days remain! | 2025-12-01 | Where are we now!? Here’s a little update.Gamepad support is complete! (The game will be 100% Deck compatible at launch.)Achievements have been added (though we may add more in the late polishing stages).All text has been sent to localizers, and localization has started!What’s left?Since we finished all the required cutscenes, I’ve added one more and put our lead animator on remaking the game’s intro (the original Mewgenics trailer animation). A few of the cutscenes need to be scored, and a few others need touch-up work.The game’s “continue save” intro is mostly done but still in pieces. It features a randomly generated ending each time you p |
| LIVE STREAM TIME! | 2025-11-03 | 99 days remain… 99 fuckin’ days! Crazy to see us under that 100-day mark. Shit is getting real. Let me break down where we’re at. - All of the game’s content has been added (outside of a few cutscenes). - Localization has been prepped, all mechanical text has been re-edited (by Tyler this time), and localization has officially started! Seems finished, right? WRONG! Here’s what we have left to do: - Achievements (these are drawn but not implemented; roughly 300). - 1.5 cutscenes need to be animated (and I’m adding one more since the team is a bit ahead of schedule). - A few cutscenes still need to be scored and have SFX added. - The game’s int |
