New ME-OS Update! New guests, new content, and so much more!

Posted by octopus58 - October 1st, 2023


Finally, after over half a year, we bring a big new update!

This update is full of content! There are new games, a ton of new music featuring awesome guest artists such as @F-777, @Waterflame and Screenhog, a bunch of new characters in Jump Wars including guest appearances (Starter by @FelixBlobDev and Chicken Man by @FunPix), and so so so much more! I'll break it down below, but if you want a very descriptive list of changes, check out the changelog. And make sure to join our Discord server to interact with our community and get more frequent updates!


Keyccordion Updates!

One of our biggest endeavors this update was to add more content to Keyccordion, and we really hope you're all excited! Because we got FOUR new songs. This includes:


Lascia Ch'io Pianga Keygen Remix (4/5 difficulty)


Power Glove (3/5 difficulty)


Unnamed song by @F-777 (3/5) difficulty


Glorious Morning Keygen Remix (5/5 difficulty)


That's right, we got guest songs from some awesome composers this update too! Thank you so much @F-777 and @Waterflame! There's a lot more to come, too.


One additional thing, is we also added some really nice impact effects for the notes to increase the game feel. Hope this is enough Keyccordion for one update ^^;


Jump Wars

We got a whole SIX new characters joining us this update, including two guest characters by @FelixBlobDev and @FunPix! We even got an awesome new stage sprited by ME-OS codeveloper @spicycoffee called Sleepy Bridge:

The games roster has almost doubled, we got a new stage, we even got some retro stage variants too, and also an awesome song that will play on Sleepy Bridge by Screenhog! Additionally, F-777 also made a remix of sunset hill that is heard on the sunset hill stage.


There's also a ton of improvements this update too, like for example we finally have a more proper looking HUD! It will be developed even further as time goes on. We also have a ton of visual and sound impact effects now, some are even unique to the character you're using! We already have a ton more in the works, so keep your eyes peeled...


Zelomedia Splash

Does the name Zelomedia Splash sound like anything familiar? Nah, must be just some coincidence... Zelomedia Splash is a new ever growing collection of small games added to ME-OS this update, mostly revolving around nostalgia or some silly gimmick. Three games already came with it including Whoopie's Playtime (above screenshot), Super Hard Quiz P2, and Apandoom's Tree. Does Super Hard Quiz P2 sound familiar? It's because I released it on Newgrounds as well for April Fools a few months back!



There will be a lot more coming to this collection, mostly oriented around spoofs and small ideas.


Desktop, File Surfer, etc.

There were a lot of changes, so read the changelog if you want the full idea. But we added a lot of backgrounds, cursors, etc. One of the biggest improvements we made to the file surfer though, is that now you can not only view external files through it, but open them too! If you have stuff saved to your actual computer, you'll be able to view pictures, listen to music, even open text files all up to your disposal. We also added a feature of automatic playlists (opening a song in a folder with other songs will automatically queue a playlist of all tracks in the folder). And as you can see in the screenshot above, message boxes have also been added and will be much more widely used now in ME-OS!


Conclusion, what's been going on

In general, the video shows it all off much better than in this post, I am kind of running on two brain cells right now as I've been working non stop for the past two weeks lol. But obviously I'd love to answer any questions and tell you all more about our wonderful game! I honestly wish I could've finished this update much sooner, but due to some unforeseen events it got delayed. I'm also having a lot of random health problems this past half year that required me to run back and forth between doing blood tests (ew needles) and talking to doctor bla bla bla, I don't want this post to be a sob story but just a quick reason for why it was a little slower than expected.


If you want to see more of the game, make sure to check out or website and join our Discord for much quicker updates. As always I'll keep posting here and interacting with Newgrounds creatures as this has always rocked and will keep being awesome lol. Thank you so much for reading up to here, and until next time!!
