Hi all! Success! The title has been updated to Unreal engine 5 and I took this opportunity to completely overhaul the controller support for a nice, smooth experience on this lovely new handheld we've got.
Performance wise, MENOS already ran great on deck but controller support, while functional, wasn't very fun.
The new configuration makes the transition between Telekinesis and Gunfighting way more seamless, makes navigating menus a lot easier and cleans up any cursor tracking issues I noticed on the previous version.
The Update to Unreal Engine 5 took a lot more work than I initially though it would (go figure) so I hope you enjoy the new and improved performance and pad support whether you game on deck or on the couch.
Hopefully, the title will one day be Verified on deck but for now you'll just have to take my word for it ;)
Work on the Sequel, MENOS: PRECURSOR is coming along really well, hoping to launch a new and improved demo for the title in the coming months so stay tuned!
As always, thanks so much for playing, I hope you enjoy your time with MENOS!

Announcing MENOS: PRECURSOR
Hi everyone, the release of Unreal Engine 5 has been extremely cool and I'm happy to announce that I've been working on a sequel!
MENOS: PRECURSOR will see a perspective shift to third person, an expanded story and more powers.
Check out the teaser trailer:

I'm currently working on a public demo for Steam Next Fest and I'm really excited to work on this project.
In other news, during the prototyping for Precursor, I've found some solutions for issues that arose in the original title, Psi-Shatter. I'll be implementing these fixes along with some other improvements in the coming weeks as well as porting Psi-Shatter to Unreal Engine 5 in preparation for the sequel!
I've just uploaded a patch to tweak a couple of things:
- Walking toggle has been removed. - Slow-mo time on death has been reduced from 0.5 seconds to 0.2 seconds. - I've implemented some further packaging optimization for the game that reduces install size from around 600mb to around 350mb.
You now have more room on your hard drive for Warzone skins.
I've also added a little request next to the quit game button, MENOS has been received really well (100% positive reviews at the time of writing! What!) but in the time since it's release it's failed to accrue enough reviews to generate an average score. Positive or Negative, please consider leaving me a review so that I may satisfy the all powerful algorithm and improve as a developer.
You're the best, thanks for buying my game.

Laser sight added for shooting.
I've added a lazer sight to weapons to assist with aiming in the transition from using the target for Telekinesis and shooting, see pictured. This should particularly help controller players.
Let me know if there are any other tweaks you'd like to see.

Nice little performance boost just went live.
Good morning everyone.
I got bloody covid lol but other than that fine. I learned some new techniques to increase performance so I've just pushed another quick patch that should give you a nice boost.
Hope everyone's doing well and thanks again for playing.
