Furniture

Furniture can be obtained from Hoarders R us and is used in decorating your house.



Here's how the developer explains furniture at the moment :

Most know this design from animal crossing, you collect items to fill your house, it's basically the core of what animal crossing is. but with mewgenics we wanted to make this collecting/hoarding aspect more meaningful, we wanted it to go beyond basic hoarding for hoardings sake and into something that impacted gameplay, and this is basically how it works.

almost every item in mewgenics has some type of special property depending on what the item is. Clocks manipulate time, healthy food raises hp and your cats hunger threshold, spoiled food or trash raises the chance of strays visiting your house, microwaves and other radioactive items raise mutation chances, evil items raise aggression and sometimes damage. the number of things your furniture can effect is amazingly high, from all the cats stats, disease rates, money you start with, money you gain, life span, libido, fertility, mail rate, store discounts, room in your house... the list goes on.

the items you collect and choose to place in your house not only affect stats and % of basically every aspect of the game, but they also affect your cats identity (but we will save that for next week).

there are 5 types of furniture:

Sets (10 items in a set) Large ( large stable items that other things can be placed on, shelves, stoves, giant stone heads...) Med ( smaller than large items but basically the same, totems, aquariums, taxidermy, piles of books...) Small ( very small items that cats can interact with and can be knocked over, candles, pill bottles, bobble heads, indie game plush...) Wall ( items that can be placed on the walls and in the background that stick where you put them, posters, paintings, mylar balloons, black holes...)

there are currently 650 finished pieces of furniture in mewgenics, in the end the game will feature over 750.. but that's not all!

there is a legend that tells of a magical cat that lived in nona's house... this cat had the ability to imbue anything it touched with magical properties! every item in the game has a very rare alt, that not only changes how the item looks (sometimes greatly) but also magnifies the effects the item has... so be on the look out for any items that features the "mark" of the nona cat!

counting the rare alt states that's over 1,500 items to collect in mewgenics.. and that's not counting the items that have random states inside them...
