Mewgenics achieves financial success on Steam after three hours
The new game Mewgenics achieved financial success just three hours after it started its first operations. The new game Mewgenics which designer Edmund McMillen and designer Tyler Glael created has brought financial success to its developers right after its launch. The developers announced that their game achieved financial recovery after three hours from its Steam launch. The project required more than ten years to reach its first public release.
The cat breeding roguelike attracted players who wanted to experience its content despite its low financial investment requirements. The player count for the game reached 65962 simultaneous users who played on SteamDB according to data from February 10 at night. The development process of the game created instant income because McMillen developed a dedicated fanbase through his prior work on Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Isaac.
The development of Mewgenics required an extended and difficult process before the final product could be launched. The project originated in 2012 when McMillen was a part of Team Meat. The game reached its cancellation point in 2016 after the development team dedicated multiple years to its production. The project entered a new phase in 2018 after McMillen obtained the title rights back.
and we have made back our development budget after 3 hours. Thank you all :)
