EXTREME MEATPUNKS FOREVER

Hi Heather! This seems super cool.

Can you explain how big the alcohol content is? I struggle with that particular kind of content quite a bit, so I'd like to know <3

Hi! I forgot to update my address for the Kickstarter for the RPG. :((((

I sent you an email through BackerKit. Hopefully there's still time! Just wanted to hit you up here just in case you see it faster, cuz I'm so so so excited for the game! <3

(Feel free to delete this comment (or I can) once you see it!)

PS: if it's too late, no worries, it's completely my fault. just crossing my fingers here! 😬🤞🏻

hey is the screen supposed to go black when i'm halfway up the mountain in chapter 5 or what bc i can't see anything

You remind me a little bit of Terry Pratchett and I mean that in a good way. If there's a type of *mancy that plays around with expectations, this is something that Pratchett excelled at. His works would often play around with high-concept yet very meaningful jokes which sort of had a life of their own and lived beyond their humour value. I feel like Extreme Meatpunks Forever is a bit like that.

It throws you into a bizarre, somewhat post-apocalyptic(?) Biopunk world of strangeness without any explanation. It treats you as though you're a resident of this world and you already understand most of what's going on. It challenges you to adapt to the craziness around you. The characters talk in something reminiscent of Millennial/Gen Z text-speak and while that might seem strange to someone today, it's not at all a stretch to think that the vocabulary of tomorrow could be formed from that culture. If nothing else, it's meant to appeal to it.

It's not meant to "make sense" in a contemporary sense because it isn't contemporary—it's an extrapolation. Good Sci-Fi does this. It's like windows on spaceships, yeah? If, for whatever reason, a Sci-Fi lacks them then people complain as they expect the setting to be familiar. Even though there are many reasons to skip having windows in spaceships. I certainly could go over all of the reasons but a cursory googlin' into a show like The Expanse would cover most of the bases.

I mean, when people think of Sci-Fi they think of anime robots or jet fighters in space. They don't really think of myrid digital life forms existing within a network of dyson spheres designed to house virtual realities as that's a much more resource efficient way of living than most others and it'd extend the life of the Universe by not having most life living in very resource inefficient ways.

A lot of people don't do well with this sort of thing though, if even one strange concept is implicitly included without a duly exasperating explanation to make it all simple and objective? They bounce off of it.

I find the questions fun and I welcomed the chance to adapt to this gay disaster world.

I think it might come from being neurodiverse, downtrodden, traumatised, dysphoric, abused, and having the introspection to recoil in existential terror at the things I've been through but I'm not shaken by something like Extreme Meatpunks Forever. To the contrary, I'm excited by it.

I'm hoping in one upcoming episode we have an Otherkin-adjacent character who identifies more as their meatmech than they do as themself, and doesn't enjoy getting out of it to interact with people as a human. I'd love that. I mean, that's how I am myself—Otherkin—and it's always wonderful to see any kind of representation for those like myself. A Universe such as this one is as good a place as any.

Just a passing hope, anyway. Thank you for a great time! I had been watching someone play this but I've now bought it myself to have a bash at it and because I want to support you.

THIS WAS SO GOOD!!! This is the first game I've ever commented on but I just had to let everyone know that it was amazing! I loved the story and the gameplay was just challenging enough to be interesting but not too challenging that I wanted to quit (although I did say some of the words before they came on the screen because - F*CK). And the music was sick!! Loved it!! <3

soooo gooooddd! the writing is good, I think its honest and brash but its not immature or anything that some commenters have said. the combat is a little stiff, but luckily skippable so you can get all that meaty goodness of dialogue. the music is incredible I think each character has a different instrument play the main melody for the combat music? i love little touches like that.

Hi! I'm sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but I can't figure out how to transfer my save file from this game to the sequel. I'm using a Mac, and both games are installed through the Itch app. I loved season 1, and I'm very excited to play season 2 :) Thanks!

IDK where to give QOL suggestions, but is it possible to implement a skip to end of line function for dialogues? The text moves slower than I read it. 

Hi all! I can't quite figure out if this game is supposed to have native (Mac) controller support? For some reason, I thought it did, but I can't get it to work. If it doesn't, no worries, but it would be good to know for sure! Thanks!

Picked this up in the bundle for racial justice and this game was just a blast! The characters were  charming and dynamic, the setting was a high octane fever dream, and the music was wicked as hell. Excited for season two!

I wanted to like this game, I really did. 

Diverse cast? Check.

Creepy futurepunk dystopia? Check.

Bizarre bio-mech robots? Check

Killing Nazis? Check.

What's not to like? Well...

Firstly, the writing. It's just.... Bad. I hate to say it, but... When I read the other comments raving about how real the dialogue sounded, I expected writing that would read like real people talking out their situation in a natural way... And what I got was writing that read like people messaging each other in a facebook group chat about their situation. (I know what 'sdfkfsdjfsk' means in context, but it's a little jarring to see it in what is supposed to be an out-loud conversation, you know?)

Conflict repeatedly flares up out of nowhere, characters argue, neither one of them learns anything or develops at all, and then they move past it in 2 minutes. Breaking up a stranger's heated argument by dabbing? What? Nothing about these characters or the way they interact feels real. 

And then there's the enemies, known only as "The Fash", who are written much less like the kind of fascist who would corner you on the street and fight you, and much more like the kind of fascist who would call you a cuck on /r/TheDonald. ("Intellectual superiority" LMAO)

But, story isn't everything you know! I can push past a subpar story as long as the core game is fun to play! Well....

It's close! It's almost fun! It's like.... fun-adjacent. The idea of a 2-D top down super-smash-bros-style brawler is one that has potential, I could see something like this being a fun arena multiplayer game. But with little to no variation in the enemies, and only one unique move per character, plus a basic punch, the game itself gets stale after the first few fights. And without that carrot-on-a-stick of fun gameplay, after the second or third 'sdfksdjsfkdjs' I lost the will to continue.

Which is a shame, because there are a lot of stylistic elements here that I like a lot. The monochrome, hand-drawn character art, combined with the ASCII-on-gradient environments makes a very unique and striking style, and I greatly appreciate that the battle theme morphs instruments based on who you're playing. Super cool idea. It's just a shame that everything built upon the stylistic elements is.... lacking.

Just played through with ImmortalRay and low key so glad I played. Sci-Fi is usually not my genre, but as I said on my 3 tweets on twitter this lowkey is the best game I have played in so long. Up there with Fire Emblem and Danganranpa in the favorites list. Amazing inclusivity, elegant approach to sensitive topics, fun gameplay that doesn't impose on the beautiful narrative. Loved this game so much I will fite anyone and everyone over these precious babies of characters (Including the not-baby that is Brad. He is a man and his boundaries should be respected. <3 )

Just played through it with a friend and didn't know what I was expecting but I absolutely loved this game and the art style! I'm excited to see what's to come for season 2!

My god... Do I really own this now? -_-
Is there a button to remove/unbuy certain games?
