Engine Upgrade and Performance Fixes

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 segments and legs are handled to hopefully reign in how badly it hits the CPU beyond 500 - 600 legs. Significant adjustme…

The Millispeed: Demake Playtest

Still a work in progress, the gameplay itself is largely unchanged and is mostly just visuals.

22:40:01NewsFixed major bug———21076748

Game update · published 5 Dec 2025, 22:40:01 UTC

Fixed major bug

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 so the ones worth more are a little harder to spot from across the map!
