If its Team Meat am hoping its not flash. Issac is ridiculous and gets too much of a pass for running like shit. If it came from a larger developer it'd be called out on it.
Look forward to it anyways.

Isaac isn't a Team Meat game. And this isn't a flash game.

The internet is not a factor, cats are amazing regardless of tired internet memes. Cats deserve more video games.

The internet's obsession with cats is not a cause but a symptom of cats' eternal appeal. The same appeal that has made them the subject of this game.
Agree. Where are all the games about rabbits and chinchillas?

Let's hope they get the success they feel they deserve this time, so we don't have to hear team meat complain afterwards.
What are you even talking about?

I think you have confused Team Meat with the Fez guy...
I wouldnt be to worried about that.. as I doubt they will release another game on 360 after all the trash talking they did with the poor placement of SMB.

Nah, they would. Edmund has said as such. They just understand how "business" works now. Know to get things in writing.
Though I doubt XBLA would happen for this game, since it seems like a small project still (only started a month ago).
Given the developer probably nothing good will happen to these cats.

Super Meat Boy is one of my favorite platformers regardless of year or platform, and Binding of Isaac was pretty awesome as well, so I'm definitely in. Can't wait to read / see more!
Rabbits have the Wolfire guys. There are plenty of rabbit games, but never enough cat games.
Where's the "vertex-based game" Tommy was on about, which was supposed to be Team Meat's next big thing?
Anyway, pretty excited for Mew-Genics, but I really need to see and hear more about it. SMB iOS/PC however, I'm not holding out hope for a legacy rooted in precision skill to miraculously get the iOS re-imagining and tickle the same fancy, if you know what I mean.

What scoring system?

I think he reworked the engine so it scales graphically (vector-based, not vertex).
You're right, no idea how I got that confused. But do we assume that they put whatever game they were working on aside in favor of Mew-Genics, or was it Mew-Genics all along?

I'm into it. Bet it will be great.

Zero hype until I learn what the game actually is.
They must have changed their tone. Seemed like every podcast they were on they bitched about MS, even like half a year after release.

A game where you create cats ala Frankenstein is nice, but is it a puzzle game? A roguelike? A RTS?

It's been years, the people who fucked them don't even work for MS anymore. And they always had good things to say about their producer at MS. The guy who was fighting for their game when MS suits were like "ehhh 2D is out this year, 3D is in! Let's throw money at promoting Hydrophobia!"
All we know is it has simulation elements.
Game #2 is a different thing, Mew-Genics didn't exist until two months ago.

If you've got another couple hours to kill, Edmund had a very lengthy interview with State of Play recently.

Isaac wasn't a Team Meat game. Only Edmund of the group worked on it as a side game.
Stumpokapow
listen to the mad man
Did you think Isaac was a poor execution of what it was going for, or was it just that what it was going for was not something you were interested in?
Team Meat=insta-buy. SMB is honestly the greatest platformer I've played. Then again, I'm not a fan of the Mario games anymore. They're tired to me.
Also, TBOI (The Binding of Isaac) was NOT a Team Meat game. Wish everyone would stop saying it is. Tommy was not involved in it's development, only Edmund and Florian Himsl

Tommy did actually did help some, it would have ran even worse without him, but yeah, Florian was the programmer and that is why it was in Flash AS2 instead of something decent.
Sorry for the late response, but Poor execution, mostly. Poor controls, shooting wasn't satisfying enough, I think the whole game was built around the story novelty (weird story, weird bosses/enemies, weird locations) and the "game" aspect was left behind.
