Hi all!
MindSeize was just patched to version 1.5.1. The patch brings mainly bug fixes and also a couple of new, more interesting features. Here's patch notes.

Added multiple pieces of failsafe code to some bosses, that could under very rare circumstances soft lock the game.
There was a high possibility, that Valstrike (of The Duo renown) would deal 10 times the intended damage with his special pulse attack. It's fixed now, oops!
Fixed a case that could apparently cause the T-Snout to not leave after the Hornet Hive is destroyed. We could not replicate the issue, but made some changes that will possibly fix the rare issue!
Fixed the purple mushrooms of Verdant Gamma, that used to cause all kinds of wonky physics if they respawned on top of the player...
Visual fixes, mainly some wrong tiles here and there
Other changes:

Added a hidden way to make the H.A.B.A. boss fight (and some parts of the map) easier, by turning off certain electric traps
Made the price scaling of the Nano Bots less harsh
Added a small but neat destructible section on Verdant Gamma, allowing the player to traverse through the area below the Wrecked Ship faster.
Aaaand that would be all, might have missed some smaller bug fixes but anyways... The work continues, even if slower. See you in the future!

MindSeize updated to v. 1.5.0. Boss improvements and bug fixes

Hi! It's once again time to bring you and update to MindSeize. This time we've focused on fixing some issues both big and small, that have plagued the game for a long time. The patch also brings updates to several bosses.
Here's the (mostly) full change list.
Boss balance:

Drifter Hanu will start his second phase a bit earlier now
Annihilator Unit has a much faster turn animation and starts its final barrage attack earlier than before. Added a new homing missile attack for it. Lowered the HP a bit.
You can now destroy the boomerang grenades of Duke Atlas with a melee attack. They are now faster and do more damage. Duke Atlas should never be locked to a wrong animation when starting his run anymore.
Added an earlier unimplemented special attack for the Phantom Parasite
The Assassin now has a projectile attack, improved the calculation of his dash lengths
Added a tell to the hand shake animation of Mimir. Removed the teleporting shield-carrying Defender from the fight, increased the damage of his flamer drones.
Balanced the difficulty level of the Boss Rush a bit
other stuff:

Changed the geometry and/or enemy placement of several rooms, fixing multiple awkward wall jump spots, etc.
Fixed a bug that could sometimes cause the Muckroot Beast enemies to launch upwards to the sky when fighting on a slope
Fixed a bug that could cause Thyr to freeze when fighting him in Boss Rush
Improved the Scrap Magnet
Added more oomph to the destruction of scrap containers and to the scrap collection sfx
Made it impossible to shoot during certain cutscenes
Triggering the elevators of Horizon Ship now works more consistently
Gave Guardian Units more hp and improved their turn speed
Turrets on Takomo 7 now award scrap for destruction
Tweeked the backend for the controller support. Hopefully this will help with the issues a few of you are still experiencing.
And a couple of other small bugfixes as always
Note about the controller tweaks:
We have not been able to replicate the issues described to us and every controller works fine in the tests, which makes finding the root of the issues incredibly difficult for me (as of writing this, I'm the only programmer working on the game anymore). I'm now trying a different method for detecting the inputs, let's see if it will help at all... Once again, if you are having controller issues even after the patch, I would ask you to go to the Steam General Controller Settings and uncheck every "Configuration Support" box. You should also turn on the "Controller Only Movement" from the in-game Options menu. Hoping for these to help!
Also, if some of you start having NEW controller issues that you did not have before this update, please let us know!
Cheers,
Kamina Dimension Crew

MindSeize has been just updated to version 1.4.0.
The main thing we wanted to address with the update is the recent controller problems reported by some of the players. There is now a "Controller Input Only Mode", that can be turned on from the Options menu. We've also tried to improve the controller support on the code side.
If the update or turning on the Controller Only mode will not help with your issues, please try to first unplug and replug the controller, then report to us. These fixes are in many ways experimental, so all the input and feedback from you will help us find solutions.
In addition, the patch improves the late game viability of the first gun, buffs the Scrap Magnet and Arc-Power Beam.
There's of course also a huge list of bugfixes. Here's a (not entirely complete) changelog:

Added a "Controller Only Mode" that can be turned on from Options
Changing the keybindings will now correctly change the keys also on the HUD and in UI PopUps (There's currently a small known issue with jump key not updating correctly in the tutorial, will be fixed soon)
Fixed most of the cases that could cause the player to get stuck and not able to move. Probably.
Fixed the sound effect and music volume settings not always getting saved correctly
Fixed Mimir's hands not always disappearing when he dies
Fixed the speed boost from the Desperation Engines staying even after the player health is restored
Fixed ”the invisible grenade-blocking obstacles” sometimes appearing on Takomo 7. Turns out they were dead spider creatures whose invisible dead corpses still blocked grenades for some reason
Fixed the layers in the room before Duke Atlas, screen shake will no longer mess up with the backgrounds
U1-M4 Gear pickup should now be bit smoother.
Re-spawning enemies are no longer invincible when attacked with flamer or the flame dash
Removed a box that could cause issues with the Box Carrying Drones. The drones also now behave better when their boxes are destroyed before they manage to grab them.
Fixed a couple of spots on walls of Icy Moon having small, invisible platforms
Scrap Magnet now picks all the drops from enemies, including health and energy
The Enhanced Ammo Feed mod now boosts the bullet rate of the first weapon much more, making the rate of fire 50% faster than it used to be
Boosted the damage rate of the Arc-Power beam weapon from every 0,5 seconds to every 0,4 seconds. The secondary damage spreads 20% further than it used to.
Aaand that's all for now. Thanks for the support and keep reporting the bugs and issues, so we can iron them out one by one.
Cheers!

The update brings a couple of improvements and some bugfixes.

Scrap Magnet is now a bit cheaper and a bit more effective
The shield will recharge a bit faster under heavy enemy presence and while taking hits
Added 2 small shortcuts to the Verdant Gamma caves section and small changes to the geometry of some rooms
The Stranger should not freeze anymore. Ever. Hopefully... Ah and fixed a rare bug with Illuminator Drone as well
Using Power Void on a wall will no longer freeze the player under any circumstances. In fact it can't be done!
Increased the contrast of the Thorn Horn root attack (and the monster itself)
Added a check to a certain radio conversation after beating planet Orbei. Won't happen anymore in case the player manages to sequence break;)
Made the Dash Kick Boots tiny bit easier to find...
Fixed one Guardian Unit behaving very, very badly. BAD Guardian Unit!
There was an exploit allowing the player to easily farm scrap. Huge amounts of scrap. INFINITE amounts of scrap. It also froze the game if the amounts got too crazy, so yea... Fixed now!
Improved 2 screen transitions (one on Takomo and one on Research Facility. No you'll be able to jump into new room without problems!
Aaand that's all. There might have been a couple of other fixes as well, but honestly there's too many to remember everything. Thanks for the support!

Dash Kick Boots + Shadow Dash hotfix
Hi! We just updated MindSeize with a small hotfix. Prior to the patch, if the player had both the Dash Kick Boots and the Shadow Dash, it was possible to get stuck to enemies for a second if trying to dash through them while not having enough energy to perform a shadow dash (10).

Added visual cues to the Mimir PC:s on Research Facility to make them more visible
Additional radio conversation when fighting and losing against the Stranger, improved his hitboxes
Improved the Mimir boss fight in many ways. Added visual effects to his force field

And that would be all, thanks!
