  Milo's Early Access Release Date Announcement & Demo Disabled

  The release date for Milo Early Access Steam launch is officially set for October 29th.With that, I've also disabled the demo. I just don't have enough time and energy to update it and finish the game. Thanks for your patience!Over the last several months, the game has changed quite a bit. Performance has improved, mechanics have evolved, and the overall experience is much closer to the game I originally set out to make. At this point, I don't feel the demo does the full game justice anymore, and I'd rather your first experience with Milo be one that accurately reflects where it's at today.Thank you to everyone who has played the demo, shared feedback, reported bugs, and supported the project over the past five years. It genuinely helped shape the game into what it is now.I can't wait for you all to play Early Access launch of Milo on October 29th. I love you.-Spencer

  Good & Bad News

  I'd like to thank you all again for supporting my game.I'm going to keep this short out of respect for your time as well as mine. I know if I try to write something witty/interesting I'll wind up spending far too much energy that could be spent on developing Milo on this fine morning. I suppose I could just have AI write it but that would be lame. Anyway, here it goes: Bad:Milo's EA* release as been postponed to Q4 of 2026 (the final postponement, seriously)Milo's EA release will NOT include local-splitscreen coop *Early Access Good:A major update to the Demo is coming as soon as I can push it outMilo's game design has been finalized (rats now have clear purpose etc.)I really appreciate your guys/gals patience. I'm very excited to share the future of Milo with you. I love you-Spencer

  The Future of Milo

  TLDR: The demo sucks but we're fixing itI want to extend a heartfelt 'thank you' to everybody who has played Milo and supported this crazy dream of mine. Four years ago I decided to make a game instead of growing up (I'm now 37 years old smh). But the joke is on me because I grew up anyway, and now Milo is four years old. He has legs. He can walk and talk. He even makes new friends. I sometimes miss when it was just us. When I reflect on how far he has come I'm both in awe and terrified, because I understand now that he doesn't just belong with me, he belongs with you too.What Happened?In case you're unaware, the Demo for Milo was featured in this past Steam NextFest. It was a massive disappointment as it performed far below my expectations, garnering about 1800 wishlists, around 15 (mostly) negative reviews, and 2,500 players). To be honest, i was (and frankly still am) devastated by some of the reviews. I'm not asking for sympathy, but it's difficult to hear things like this - "It's as if someone plugged "code me a playable BO3 zombies clone but don't worry about the features, gameplay loop, or performance" into chatgpt and just slapped it up on steam.""This is basically a barebones and sloppier version of cod zombies." - during a major event showcasing my passion project that I've dedicated four years of my life to and sacrificed so much for. But thankfully among all of the reviews (including negative ones) there were golden nuggets of honest feedback that are helping us shape the future of Milo and make it a success! What Did We Learn?We learned that players who simply visit the Milo page are likely to wishlist the game (neat!) ...but only if they DIDN'T try the demo (players are 8x more likely to wishlist Milo if they don't play the demo). The median playtime for the demo is also very poor (11 minutes). In lay terms, this means that the demo sucks, but people are excited for the final product.What Now?My publisher/co-developer team at Yarrawah Interactive stumb...
