The developers of Mewgenics, the cat breeding indie hit from the creators of The Binding of Isaac and The End is Nigh, are "getting a little bit excited" about what's next for the hit roguelike.

Though the team had already confirmed that Mewgenics DLC was planned (a console version is also on the cards), this is the first insight we've had about any additional content since the turn-based strategy game released earlier this month.

"Edmund and I have been discussing and mapping out what we want to do for DLC 1, and I gotta say I'm getting a little bit excited about it," Tyler Glaiel wrote on X/Twitter as the patch notes went live, detailing a raft of QoL changes, bug fixes, and more.

However, when a fan suggested that the duo should "really think about doing some UI touch up", Glaiel warned it wasn't that easy.

"We're gonna be pretty careful about stuff like that because a lot of the requests are people not quite understanding the tradeoffs we had to make during dev regarding complexity," he explained. "Some stuff is in the works, though."

Last week, Mewgenics broke a rather impressive Steam record, welcoming 115,428 concurrent players on Steam, meaning it now boasts the highest concurrent player count of any roguelike on Steam of all time.

MEWGENICS 1.0.20695

  • This patch is focused on major bug fixes and "easy" changes that are unlikely to cause secondary issues

QOL Changes:

  • Coin/Food/Item zoomers no longer prevent you from opening the backpack while they're animating
  • Added "Limit Framerate" to video settings.
  • "Tall" tiles now go semi-transparent when in tactical view
  • Fixed item sort order upon returning from an adventure (one of the last changes pre-release was adding sort buttons to the in-combat inventory screen and this broke how they sorted upon returning home)
  • If playing on steam deck, End Turn (Hotkey) is now bound to "Enter Key" by default instead of nothing. Should allow for some steam input config hacks for those who want to bind it to a back button easier.

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed Copy Cat / Learn From Me being able to copy things other than spells in some cases
  • Fixed Tina3's Mama Maggot and Familiar Korbee not having a portrait
  • Fixed a certain very late game boss fight's summons running away when the boss died. In this particular case they weren't supposed to run
  • Fixed a few cases where an ability or passive icon in the UI would not update after being overridden by a new one (ex when using a Forbidden spell while already having 2 disorders)
  • Fixed a minor odds issue related to how Stimulation affects a parent with a class passive but not a class active
  • Fixed level spawn order to spawn static objects before familiars (This should fix a few cases where a familiar occupies a space a static object wants to be, causing it to spawn in a different place and sometimes blocking cats or enemies in)
  • Fixed Eat Rock and Rock Crusher showing a tooltip for Petrify
  • New idle animation for pet rock and pet boulder and fixed death gib
  • Fixed the way Interchange interacts with Bonus Move and Bonus Attack
  • Fixed a case where quitting after losing your last cat to a sacrifice event would cause a crash upon re-loading the save file
  • Fixed a few flickering pieces in a cutscene
  • Fixed amoebas being able to drop larger rocks partially off-map
  • fixed a very late game enemy leaving an invisible corpse
  • fixed Unscarred+ and Uncapped HP causing infinitely growing HP
  • lowered the odds of seeing a variant version of one act 3 miniboss
  • Added "texture_atlas_size" to settings file to allow for some configuration hacks for under-min-spec machines. Default is 4096. Note that lowering this will also require lowering "texture_scale_big" as well so larger textures can fit into the atlas. This will remain settings-file-only, no intent to add this to the options menu
  • Misc localisation fixes
