Mewgenics: Chaos and Catastrophe

Hello everyone!!! As you can see, this is my first post on ye olde tumblr, but I figured what better to get into the motion of posting things than sharing something my friends and I have made? It's no surprise that people love Edmund McMillen's work, but me and my pals made a TTRPG about it instead of playing the game like sane people! Sooooo I'm introducing it here!! We have collaborated with one of the popular mods for the game: The Level Editor Mod, to create a unique experience for TTRPG fans!! Here recently, we've done two sessions on twitch.tv/leshyirl and are about to do our third on this Sunday at noon CST! We have created all the DM tools you'd need (or want, lol) to make an interactive but random experience to make things as accessible as possible! EVERYTHING WILL BE FREE!!!!! We hope to make our very own Nexus Mod with everything you'll need! Have fun, and join our discord server if you'd like! https://discord.gg/qVpVMswtpm

All of this to say, i hope to see you there!! Have a good day!!

First piece of 2026! Fan art for the game Blue Prince

I bought the game to play it during my holiday break, and I've been obsessed with it every since. It has everything I love: an old (seemingly) sentient house, puzzles, symbolism, exploration, mystery, a slightly scary vibe, and layers and layers of lore. I haven't finished the game yet, and I don't think I'm even close. The story is so deep and so detailed, and the way the game lets you unravel its secrets is expertly done.

So this is my spoiler-free love letter to Blue Prince. I can absolutely recommend falling into this rabbit hole.

Update #2: Class Progress and NPCs

Hey everyone, this is hyperNovA, or Mike if it's easier. Ivy asked me to write up a general status update on what I specifically have been working on.

As the main programmer on the project, and the one entrusted with knowing and working with the unreleased content, I've been working as hard as I can to be able to get this thing back in a playable state.

The starter classes are fully implemented, with their buffs working as intended, as well as the ability to shift between classes at will. Secondary level classes are being worked on intently, with their buffs being slightly more difficult into the game, or just annoying which means I've been putting it off.

The big thing I wanted to mention well before release was progress on the interactive NPCs in the game. If you, like me, know about the state of the games industry, or have been a longtime fan of Gamefuna games, you'll know that the way in which GF programs their characters is an industry secret guarded under the deepest lock and key. And trust me, it's not like I haven't tried. I've even had some of my coworkers look into it with me and nothing, it's what makes their games unique, but the security and secrecy behind the method is almost more impressive than the method itself.

Given that fact, I have been told to deliver the disappointing news that we are not going to be able to provide the same level of character interactivity as most Gamefuna games are, despite that being such a key factor. In what we have been able to recover from the code, most of the data on the characters was either only partially intact or removed completely, and the parts that were left were under that Gamefuna security we can't crack. We're doing our absolute hardest to replicate the feeling to the best of our ability, but even with my knowledge, we won't be able to replicate that. However between Luca and Ivy, they'll be able to provide a similar enough experience. Sorry again everyone.

One more thing I wanted to remind everyone, asks are open if people have any questions about how progress is going or aspects of the game! Happy to answer any (non-spoiler) questions!

Project: Unshining Introduction

What is Project: Unshining?

Project: Unshining is a restoration project being worked on by a small team of developers looking to restore the taken-down MMO "Darkness Descends" by GameFuna in the late 2000s. The game was only up for a few weeks before being taken down without notice or comment, to the dismay of the small but passionate following the game had created. Recently, one of the members of the development team managed to gain access to a large portion of the game's files in a manner that we thought we could recreate the game on our own, so we did!

What was Darkness Descends?

Darkness Descends was a survival-fantasy MMO where players would work in teams in order to gather resources, fight monsters, and progressively move through the long story the game had in place. Unfortunately, due to the structure of the game, players were unable to progress to the ending of the story in time before the servers were shut down, leading to widespread discussion of what the ending areas of this game could have entailed. Thankfully, our team has managed to get ahold of these areas mostly intact, and while some of us are waiting ourselves to keep the mystery preserved, we're all excited to show it off when we finally finish development!

Who is working on Project: Unshining?

Currently our team is only 4 people, most of which working on updating and implementing the old code to function in a more permanent and modern way. If you're asking questions here, though, my name is Ivy (they/she), lead developer on the project, and I'm more than willing to answer any questions you guys might have about Project: Unshining (Outside of "How long until it comes out", that answer will always always always be: "When we're ready", we're a small team after all!)

How frequently will progress updates happen?

Progress is moving smoothly now, but is highly subject to change in pace given a variety of personal factors. We will give updates as we have them, and otherwise we ask everyone to be patient. We're all really excited to get this game back in everyone's hands, just give us the time to put the polish into it that will make it the best it can be!
