Developer posts and news about this game.
Hello again, I know I haven't updated in a while, but Millispeed is still in development! Fixed the blown out lighting on DirectX 11. Unreal Engine and DLSS plugin upgraded to 5.8. More physics changes, to make the millipede even more stable at higher speeds. Fixed a bug where cr
Hello! The game engine has been upgraded from 5.5 to 5.7, the latest version of Unreal. With it come some pretty significant performance improvements, and the newest version of DLSS. I'm seeing at least double the framerate on this build. I've optimized the way the millipede segm
Added some fixes so that crows can't double-attack you, causing there to be no escape.
This month, I've been working on a version of Millispeed with simplified graphics and a 90s, PS1 aesthetic. Still a work in progress, the gameplay itself is largely unchanged and is mostly just visuals. I'm still planning to release Millispeed with its original graphics, but woul
There was a major issue that caused the player to no longer be able to hide from crows after eating a mega-pellet while already hiding. This has been resolved! I've also done a big balance change. Mega-pellets worth 20 legs are now much smaller than the standard pellets. This is
New updates in this build: The Millipede now looks fuzzy when the material is set to 'Matte' in the Millipede Designer. Shiny and reflective is still available. New animations and UI to indicate when a pellet is eaten and how many legs it's worth. This also makes it more obvious
Faster Millipedes Millispeeds have been nearly doubled. Now that the steering is more stable, this means faster speeds without losing too much control. New Features Added camera tilt toggle to the first-person view Added a toggle to enable motion blur added a toggle to enable Nvi
Game now pauses when the app loses focus. Fixed some bugs related to audio volume states not saving on restart.
Added first-person camera, just click the right stick or right mouse button. Continuing to refine the controls so that they feel good on both controller and keyboard. Stabilized the Millipede more, so it flips over less often.
Added Achievements! Added dead zone for analog steering to fix drift Player can now turn the millipede when stuck on a wall or colliding with itself. Hold acceleration and steer in place! Follow camera can now be tilted up and down More adjustments to steering sensitivity and dam
Implemented the DLSS plugin for Unreal 5.6 and re-enabled the graphics setting Upgraded the engine to 5.6.1 Lowered steering sensitivity
Removing the millisecond digits from the game clock display The win screen still shows all the digits The clock now fades out after not collecting pellets for a time
Hi Friends! It's been a busy summer working on Millispeed. I've added lots of new features, music, and control tuning to make this game as fun as possible, and far less frustrating to play than it has been. If you haven't played in a while now's the time to give it another try! F
Added fade-ins to the music to make transitions less jarring. Increased steering damping. Bug fixes related to crows getting stuck UI bug fixes related to fade-in/out animations
Refining the steering, especially on keyboard. The millipede should be easier to control, especially when making small steering adjustments. Fixed a bug where falling through the floor causes a soft lock. Smoothed out landscape on parts of the map. Fixed visual artifacts on Milli
Added 2 new music tracks, and refactored the music system. Lots of changes to steering sensitivity with keyboard and controller. Adjusted landscape to be shallower, and more forgiving. Made the pellets bigger, and increased the range for collecting them so they're less difficult
Hotfix Fixed the lighting and fog inconsistencies between scalability settings and DirectX 11 vs 12 Adjusted millipede steering sensitivity Made the millipede even less likely to roll over Adjusted the logic for hiding from crows. You have to stay in cover for a certain amount of
Lots of improvements in this week's build: More work on the Millipede's physics to make flipping over occur less often. The millipede now sticks to slopes better. Added a UI element to indicate when you've reached safety during a crow attack. Added a sound effect that more clearl
Hello Millipedes! Lots of fixes and changes in today's update. Fixed crows for real this time. They now patrol after respawning instead of getting stuck. Removed a bunch of crow instances, but fixed their patrols so they cover a larger area. Ferns now offer protection from crows
New changes this week: Controller map texture updated The millipede is now much faster Adjusted steering sensitivity in relation to speed Smoothed out the starting area landscape Lots of little fixes for crows. They weren't working correctly in the last build The millipede now le
