Team Meat put the cat breeding game Mewgenics on hold last year so it could concentrate its efforts on Super Meat Boy Forever. At some point after that, the focus shifted to Fingered, a strange little game about assigning criminal guilt in a world of moral relativism that Meat man Edmund McMillen unveiled last week. With that now released, McMillen told Destructoid that Super Meat Boy is back on top again, but Mewgenics will have to wait awhile longer.
"Super Meat Boy Forever is back in development again and is my primary project at this point now that Afterbirth is basically complete on my end and Fingered is [almost] out," he said. "Mew is on hold till after Forever is out, the only target release is, 'When it's done.'"
"Afterbirth," for those having trouble keeping track of all these abbreviations, is DLC for The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, which McMillen announced in March. That project doesn't yet have a release date but McMillen said it should be ready to go in the next month or two. Super Meat Boy Forever doesn't have a date either, although hopefully it won't be too terribly much longer now that development is once again full steam ahead.
On the other hand, as Shaun pointed out earlier this month, Team Meat seems to be easily distracted, and it wouldn't be entirely surprising if something else takes priority between now and then. In fact, his observation came in response to Team Meat's musing about a possible full-on SMB sequel, which arose from efforts to get SMB Forever finished. McMillen's collaborator James Id acknowledged that tendency to get off track as well, describing Fingered as something "that will inevitably make everyone ask, 'Where's Mewgenics?'"
