Happy Saturday, everybody!
There’s been a lot going on, which you probably get from not only my past few weekly updates but also because I had to actually delay this week’s update to Saturday, something I’d never done before. That’s because I’ve had to do some deep reflection on just what this game is and what it means to the people who play it.
One thing that’s always been important to me is keeping engaged with the players of Mythos. Ask the Cast, Ask the Dev, and my high levels of interaction on Discord should attest to this. I always look at what people are saying and take into account what the players want. In the end, I’m an entertainer, of sorts, and my self-appointed job is to keep you all entertained. One tool I used to gauge interest in things is the polls (both Patreon and Discord). The data from these polls give me a good idea of what the players want.
Over time, one thing became abundantly clear to me, and it’s something I struggled with for a long time. However, I can deny it no longer. The majority of you have a clear “fan favourite”, and I can’t just keep brushing it off. Therefore, I’m going to be redoing the entire game from the start. I know this may be unpopular for some of you, but I think you’ll find that the end result is worth it, because it’s going to be focused on the one character that’s been far, far more popular than all the others.
Therefore, coming soon, is an all-new re-imagining of the game…
Time and time again, the topic of conversation has always come back to the cat. Therefore, it only makes sense that I shift the narrative focus to the character that the players hold most near and dear to their hearts. Everyone loves the cat! Everyone has questions and theories about the cat. So the cat will now be Mythos.
I don’t mean “the cat is now the focus of Mythos”. I mean the cat… is Mythos. All of it.
Every character in the game is going to be replaced with the cat. How will this be explained in-universe? That’s a mystery to you to figure out! It’s definitely not something I’m making up as I go along, at this point. These screenshots should prove that.
You may notice that the cat (cats? Whatever) isn’t speaking English. Of course the cat isn’t speaking English! She’s just a cat! She doesn’t have human lips or vocal cords. For fuck’s sake, try to be realistic, here!
I thank you all for your continued support and patience as I revamp the entire game to fit this new feline paradigm. As you can imagine, it’s going to be a lot of work to replace all the characters with a non-human model.
Geri and Freki are staying the same, though! I can’t turn dogs into cats. That’d be weird.
I have an FAQ already, even though nobody could have actually possibly asked questions about this yet.
Q: Is this real?
A: Of course it’s real! It’s right here on a website. You can’t lie on websites.
Q: So is there still sex in the game?
A: More so than before, yes. Voice acted, this time. I captured the audio by holding my phone up to my cat and not feeding him for ten minutes.
Q: Will you be adding pregnancy to the game?
A: No. Even putting aside that I personally hate pregnancy, it just wouldn’t be possible in this new version of Mythos, because cats are known to practice only safe sex. That means I’ve had to scour the internet for a cat-friendly condom Daz asset. It was actually easier to find than a regular car asset.
I’m happy to finally be giving the players what they truly want and look forward to exploring this new direction for telling my story.
Keep the Legends Alive!
