After six years of getting sidetracked by different initiatives, Edmund McMillen (The Binding Of Isaac, Super Meat Boy) and friends confirmed via Twitter that Mew-genics is in growth as soon as extra. It seems that the game of ethically questionable cat breeding has modified a bit since we final noticed it, with a brand new give attention to fight and exploration constructed on a basis of splicing feline DNA. Programmer Tyler Glaiel has spent the previous few weeks tweeting out clips of the game as it’s now, that includes what seems like real-time tactical cat-versus-mouse squad fight. Take a peek beneath.
We final heard about Mew-genics early last year (ta, Alice), again when it nonetheless gave the impression to be about tending to your herd of mutant mogs and coming into them in contests. Even so, there was speak of a whole re-design. Aside from the scribbly, adorably murderous kitties, the game we see beneath doesn’t bear a lot resemblance to what was beforehand teased.

Here we see a trio of cats — a few of them apparently with wizard powers — assailing a big, squishy rat in an alley. One cat calls down lightning, the opposite one knocks the rodent airborne with what seems to be blood magic, and the third simply does the traditional cat factor and pounces onto it from an amazing peak. It’s unclear whether or not it’s for debug functions or not, however the participant has direct management over one cat at a time, whereas the remainder of the get together appear to be AI managed.

A clip from as we speak displaying off one other particular capacity out there to your cats. A spinning melee assault that leaves the ferocious preventing feline quickly dazed. Not fairly as cute as a cat tripping over its personal toes after chasing a laser pointer in circles, however I’ll take it. We additionally see a second enemy sort right here. More extraordinary, much less squishy rodents, crudely drawn however filled with purple injury numbers simply ready to be bashed free.

And right here we see {that a} cornered rat can certainly be harmful, particularly when it weighs what seems like thirty kilos, and may leap nice distances. As for what the game seems like outdoors of again alley cat brawling is anybody’s guess, but it surely’s good to see the mission is alive and kicking once more. Unsurprisingly there’s not even been the barest guess on when it’ll be completed or playable in any capability. At least we’ve most likely bought The Binding Of Isaac: Repentance and spinoff The Legend of Bum-bo soon-ish to fill that dirty, infested gap in our lives.
