Still working on #PsyShift, don't worry. Just haven't made any visual updates to post to Bsky.
News: We're adding #Dualsense support.
I already added Xbox Elite controller support.

Finally got around to implementing physics based buttons in #PsyShift
Now that the buttons work entirely through physics, and the dispatch system, I can start adding the puzzle platforming elements into the tracks.
For the nerds, button works in full XYZ orientat space too.

Demo video of the #Android version of #PsyShift
Few bugs are present here that aren't present in the #Steam build:
- Game is extra dark. Seems global lighting is broken somehow?
- The ball internal light doesn't work if there's no an exterior light?
- No reset button

#PsyShift is now building for Windows and Android!
The #Android experience should now be 1:1 with the Steam version.
Put in about 18 hours of solid debugging yesterday to get all of this settled down. If any tester wants access to the Android build, leave a comment or DM.

So PsyShift finally has its own real pause menu. Previously, I was using the main menu as both the main menu and the pause menu, but now it has its own dedicated thing.
This is part 4 of my player feel overhaul from alpha to beta, where I replace placeholders with actual assets

We've completely overhauled the movement system, overhauled how I process the track making workflow, and improved performance well over 3X.

I'd like to invite a few people to give the current state of #PsyShift a shot. Simply reply to this post, and have your DMs open, and I'll send you a #Steam key granting access to the game.
To be clear, I'm not looking for bug testers, just outside feedback.

#PsyShift #development is still progressing even though I haven't been uploading gameplay videos and dev notes recently. Been dealing with a regression issue between UE 5.5 and 5.6.

#PsyShift won't be on #Xbox or the #Microsoft store. Tired of dealing with a company that can't even solve SSO.
I'm an Xbox partner, a Microsoft partner, properly signed in everywhere, and get thrown into a loop every time I request the GDK for Unreal.
Just done dealing with this.
