- Important Update Reguarding The Future of ME_iON - 13 April 2026
Hello all, Leah here — the sole developer of ME_iON.As some of you are aware, updates to my game over the past few years have been non-existent.I have recently made the choice to stop development of ME_iON, as it would require too much time to continue working on what is already a dead project — time that I simply don’t have anymore.However, with this unfortunate announcement, I’m happy to say that as part of the Stop Killing Games initiative, I will not be delisting ME_iON or making it unplayable. Instead, I will be listing ME_iON as FREE on Steam from the 23rd of April 2026.I am sorry that it has come to this, but the scope of the game became too big for me to handle as one person. I was already £2,000 in the red in development costs, and financially, it was the smartest move for me to cut my losses and continue pursuing new ventures.With that being said, I will be rebranding Anoniion…
- The future Of ME_iON - 15 January 2025
For the past few years i have been busy with a plethora of things and i have admittedly neglected ME_iON, I am happy to say I am back and I am working on the game again, however i have decided the old vision i had for the game was too ambitious, i wanted to make everything from 100% scratch and to put it simply i was very very dumb to think i could do that monumental task by my self, so what i have done is i have decided to migrate to a new framework that will allow me to improve the game dramatically in not only player experience but also for my self in cutting down development time dramatically Name of ME_iON, as goofy and quirky the name ME_iON was i am looking at the possibility of changing it Have you been working on the game at all for the past few years? yes and no, most of my time has been dealing with other matters in my life also it is worth noting that i will be no longer usi…

- EasyAntiCheat patch - 28 July 2022
Hi everyone i have recently pushed out a small patch that now includes EasyAntiCheat to ME_iON this has been one of my goals since the start of making my game as due to how data is stored within the game it was easy to modify, as my game is a online multiplayer its almost a requirement that some level of anti cheat is implemented. while player numbers a low right now its the best time to add anti cheat to my game - Leah (Lead Programmer for ME_iON)
- Progress Update - 24 July 2022
Hi ALL!!! i haven't forgotten about ME_iON dont worry lol, this post is just a small update on what i have been doing the past few months since the big update that was 0.237, in this post i will not be going into specifics on what i am working on this post is more of announcement that YES i am still here lol, i take my time on updates and prefer to launch big updates rather than small ones as it is easy for me to bug test when there are fewer updates so i have a lower chance of bugs reaching the end user. as some of you may have noticed there are achievements in me_ion however currently you can not achieve them, admittedly i didn't mean for these achievements to become publicly viewable until the next update and i accidentally made them public due to this i will be putting out a mini patch soon that will make them usable. i hope everyone is staying safe and remember... слава україні
