I'm excited to announce that Milo is going to be published & co-developed by the talented team across the pond (Australia) at Yarrawah Interactive! This means that I will have a lot more support in areas like optimization, environments, characters, weapons, marketing etc. This will also enable me to focus more of my attention on fully implementing multiplayer and making concrete game design decisions for things like rat companions and mini-games in Milo.

This (formerly)potential partnership has been brewing for several months and after a lot of thought I am highly confident that with their help, Milo can become the game that I have dreamed of since I began development in September, 2021.

The tentative release date for Milo Early Access on Steam is now September, 2025. The release will include the option for offline single-player, and online/LAN co-op
