iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Anyways, go play mewgenics. It's really good. Hope it gets nominated for game of the year, but it most likely won't due to it's crude humor. Which i'll be honest, some of the npc dialogue isn't always great. It's very hit or miss, which is weird because the rest of the jokes are pretty funny.

Mewgenics also has the best videogame ost of the year (maybe of all time). I don't think a single track misses and somehow it keeps building up the tension everytime! AND ITS DYNAMIC TOO!! Every battle track starts as an instrumental and lyrics introduced during boss fights, it's insane!

The house fights are easily the best part of the game. It's fights against bosses with large health pools where everything is put on the line. They're exciting and they give the player the chance to do a victory lap with their best cats.

Mewgenics understands what's fun about roguelikes. It understand that breaking it appart and making crazy runs is an integral part of the experience. Instead of building hard counters against broken builds, it encourages the player to break the game as much as possible.

Not to mention that this is a very large game and that I haven't even fully completed it yet. I'm currently at around 70+ hours and there's still a whole area I haven't unlocked yet. It's insane how big this game is. And it's all unique content! Stuff is rarely recycled.

Easily my game of the year. Mewgenics is culmination of all of Edmund's past work. It rarely fails on a game design standpoint and pretty never fails to surprise the player, while still being fun to people who are new and old to the genre.

A lot of work had to be put into making all the basic systems and mechanics, which is why the first area took so long to make. Making new areas now is mostly art now, which still takes long to make, but things should move a little faster.

Good news! Sewers is feature complete! I'm currently working on a new area right now! I'm aiming for around 7 area types but I may lower the number if its too much work. Though making areas in the future shouldn't be as difficult. Video unrelated.

pushed the new build to playtesters and players with low specs went from 20 to 60 fps (which is the max fps for the game) life is good

Chainsaw man's story ends at part 1, part 2 feels a unneeded epilogue that makes everything worse. If you haven't read chainsaw man, I would recommend not reading part 2. It's very unsatisfying and undermines part 1's ending a lot.

It's a lot of fun fanservice. I'm happy to see Power and Nayuta again. It's not a well written ending, but i'll take it. I think the best way to read part 2 is to see it as non-canon. The whole story reads more like fanfiction than a proper continuation of the themes of part 1.

As for the ending itself, it's alright. It's not good but it's not bad. It retcons the entire story and pretty much hits you with the "it was all a dream". Denji wakes up in AU where everything went a little better and characters like power are brought back to life.

Finally, part 2 is about chainsaw man itself. If you read Denji as a stand in for Fujimoto, it make some parts of the story a little more understandable. Fujimoto is unsatisfied with being at the top and that's why the story seems so unsatisfying. Part 2 only exist because part 1 was popular.

Part 2 also explores the idea that Denji is unsatisfied with what he's currently got. I think it's explored pretty well and it's a good idea. Part 1 was partly about understanding the complexity of love beyond a simple want for sexual gratification. It's deepening surface dreams.
