Upcoming Game(?)

Mew-Genics is a strange anomaly making rounds on the internet. Like any anomaly, it is most definitely what it is unless it's not, and definitely not what it is until after it becomes a thing.

Let me explain. Mew-Genics, specifically, is a new series of code lines from renowned Indie developer, Edmund McMillian, a developer very well renowned for his odd humor and strange themes. if you need proof, look at The Binding of Isaac.

This would be a link, if it was a link. Just look it up!

All of that is definitely shown here. For one thing, the cast of characters that would only seem out of place if you live in the collective mind of an insane asylum.

There's Frank:




A man who still lives in his own basement, cursed to always stand under spotlights and wear a dog suit. He is the mortal enemy of Tracy:




A lady who enjoys the company of cats WAY less than she detests humans, and enjoys the company of cats WAY more than the number of teeth she still has. Both of them go to Cat Beauty Pageants with fellow contestant, Dr. Beanies:



Which are hosted by the very eccentric Mr. Tinkles:



and has many more characters to come, apparently. The game also has many more features, like collectible Trinkets to use to do... something...
Like Poop!



These Trinkets are randomly generated, so on different playthroughs, you will never get the same Petrified Poop twice. Which is good, because I would hate it if me and my friend both showed up to a party with the same Petrified Poop.

Insofar, not much has actually been mentioned about Mew-Genics, but what has been mentioned is that there are INFINITE CATS! Mew-Genics appears to do with cats what Borderlands does with guns, which is have all kinds of different physical features and combinations, so as that they appear to be infinite. Currently, Mew-Genics has the capabilities of 128 sextillion cats, or more specifically 128.080.000.000.000.000.000 possible combinations, even without personality differences, which is completely undecipherable.

Now, I know the game isn't released yet, and we don't even freaking know what it is, but from what I've heard, I would give it a look. More updates will be released later on both this blog, and Edmund McMillian's, so keep an eye on this thing.
