Edmund McMillen (born March 2, 1980) is an indie game creator and former comic author. Initially making a name for himself through Flash games on Newgrounds, Ed saw his breakthrough when he and programmer Tommy Refenes, collectively known as Team Meat, released a commercial sequel dubbed Super Meat Boy.

Oct 05, 2008  This is NOT Super Meat Boy! Its simply the flash prototype that Super Meat Boy was based off of. SMB, will play very differently and is 100% new. What im saying is if you even slightly enjoy the prototype, you will LOVE SMB! For more info on Super Meat Boy check out supermeatboy.com-Team Meat. I just started playing Super Meat Boy, and loved the online collections of levels.After seeing some of them, I decided to create my own. Seeing that I am new to the game, I do not have many bandages, if I need those to create custom levels. The End is Nigh is a new puzzle platformer by former Newgrounds creator Tyler Glaiel and Super Meat Boy’s Edmund McMillen out now on PC.It brings back Meat Boy’s precise controls and movement.

Since then, most of his work has been commercial releases, and he is now best-known for his even bigger breakthrough hit The Binding of Isaac and its expansions and further editions, which has become immensely popular with streamers.

Tropes commonly employed

• Black Comedy: A lot of Meat Boy's cutscenes, and almost all of Isaac. A lot of his older flash games, too.
• Body Horror: Pretty much the David Cronenberg of video games.
• The Cameo: Often times characters from his other games will make crossover appearances.
• Canon Welding: Apparently, Time Fcuk and Isaac are highly related, and Steven may even be Isaac. This just complicates things more.
• Creator Thumbprint: Putting fetuses or fetus imagery in his games, as seen from the Big Bad in Super Meat Boy, the title character in Spewer, a lot of the monsters and imagery in The Binding of Isaac, and pretty much the entirety of Coil.
• Mind Screw: The amount varies depending on the game, but just try to piece together what The Binding of Isaac's plot really is. Coil and Time Fcuk are other major examples.
• Nightmare Fetishist: Apparently since he was a kid, if his biographical comic 'Thicker Than Water' is anything to go by.
• Surreal Horror: Some of his games, but especially his trailers, done by James Id.
• Toilet Humour: A recurring motif ever since his first games and animations.

After a year and a half of silence, Edmund McMillen once again spoke about one of his planned projects. The creator of such independent hits as The Binding of Isaac or Super Meat Boy assured on Twitter that the work on Mew-Genics - a cattery management simulator - after six years in 'developer hell' is back on the track. However, it is worth noting that this is not the first time when McMillen asserts that the title is alive and well. Nevertheless, we keep our fingers crossed so that this time the Mew-Genics development process really does move at full speed. Unfortunately, we still don't know the release date, so we can only guess when we're finally going to deal with our own two-dimensional kittens.

McMillen's new project, created with the help of Tyler Glaiel, programmer Krystal Fleming and musician Ridiculon, is a black humour, two-dimensional cattery simulator. The player will play the role of a lonely old woman who has to take care of her pets - feed them, take care of their needs, breed them according to plan, and then put them up for competitions - while trying not to exceed her small home budget. Different cats will have different characteristics, genetic predispositions and phobias, and our job will be to ensure that they grow up in health and calm. Of course, McMillen's gloomy aspects will not be lacking - four-legged cats can be taken away by the police, become ill with a range of deadly diseases or escape.

When are we gonna play Mew-Genics? The release date of the game unfortunately still remains a mystery, but we can safely assume that it is not this year. It is not the only project that Edmund McMillen is currently working on. The developer is currently creating another expansion set to The Binding of Issac, called Repentence, which is due to debut in December, and The Legend of Bum-bo, scheduled for the end of August and beginning of September. Mew Genics will probably not be launched until the final release of these titles.
