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 adjustments were made to the forest lighting and atmospheric effects.

More tuning of the millipede movement and starting speed. The millipede starts faster and gets faster as a result.

Until the next update!

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 would love to find a way to release this version alongside it. This version has: · Crazy performance gains · Basically no…Game update5 Dec 2025Fixed major bugThere 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!
