Rhonda - The protector of nature



Meet Rhonda!

Rhonda was born and raised in the capital. She lived there for many years but when the city became more and more crowded, she decided to move. She found Cloud island and fell in love with the nature, so she stayed. She has always been an outdoor person and most of her time she is sitting under the Rocketberry trees, enjoying the wonderful smell from the berries. Sometimes she even makes a bonfire to get real cozy! But in care for the nature, she would never leave the fire unattended or litter in any way. She’s made it her mission to protect the nature and make sure that everyone keeps the island clean and beautiful, as it should be.

When you visit Cloud island you can recognize Rhonda by the fact that she always wears something blue. Right now she is wearing a blue headband and her blue backpack. She loves the color and could talk about the different color-tones for hours if someones interested. So if you like to make Rhonda happy, wear something blue!

Freddy - The farmer


Meet the great farmer of MilMo!

Freddy is a very satisfied man. He loves his farm and would not trade it for anything in the world. His absolute favorite crops are the pumpkins. He’s even become famous for his fantastic pumpkin pies! As soon as the wonderful smell from the pies start filling the island everyone comes running to get a piece of their own!

The only thing that makes Freddy lose his good mood is the nasty weeds that’s keep appearing in his vegetable patch. There’s not like normal weeds, they’ve came alive and is biting and destroying his precious pumpkins! So if you visit the farm some day, help him defeat some of those nasty plants and you might get one of those outstanding pumpkin pies in return!

Horace - The designer



Meet Horace, MilMos one and only designer!

Horace is working for Homes Inc where he is responsible for all the furniture, rooms and clothes in the shop. He is constantly designing new stuff and he loves to be creative. Before he started to work at Home Inc he was a fashion designer, working with models on the runway. It was fun but very stressful and he could not be as creative as he wanted to. Now, working as a designer for Home Inc he has the freedom to create whatever he like! He can go crazy and design all the things he always wanted. His motto is: “Creativity is like craziness... just go with it!”.

When you visit the shop you can see all of Horace’s designs. If you got any ideas for new exciting clothes or furniture, don’t be afraid to share! Horace loves it when you MilMonauts share your ideas. Who knows, maybe his next piece will be inspired by your idea?

The new level - Sneak peek

Hello MilMonauts! It’s finally time to dust off the development blog!

Are you curious about the new level and how it looks? Well… here comes a few sneak peeks and some answers from the developers!


What is the difference between the new starting level and the old one?
The new level will be in a whole new world where this new island is floating high above the clouds. It will replace “The horizon” and will include a tutorial for new players. We have been working hard for the level to better represent MilMo as a whole, which we did not think the former starting level did. We hope that the new level will be more fun to play and thus get new players to experience how fantastic the world of MilMo is, right from the beginning!



Which characters are we going to meet?
First you will meet The Queen who helps you to start your journey in MilMo. Then you will meet up with a bunch of both familiar and new characters. You will for example meet Freddy the Farmer who needs your help to remove some weeds that’s came alive and now are destroying his crops! You will also help poor Oswald to find his lost wedding ring.


Is there going to be many islands in this new world or just this one?
At the moment there will only be one island in this world. We will add more levels later on and we have a lot of exciting ideés for new high levels! So don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten all of you veteran MilMonauts! We love it when you send us your ideas about updates and events, please continue doing that! Send your ideas to: support@milmogame.com


Why does it take so long to create the new level in MilMo?
First of all, it takes time for a whole new development team to gain insight into a big game like MilMo. Game development takes time, there is a lot to do and you have to solve all the unexpected problems that will appear along the way.


That's all for now. Hope you enjoyed the sneak peeks and feel even more excited to play the new level! And yes, I know what you all are going to ask, "when are you going to release it?!" My answer is... very soon!

Take care and have fun playing!

All is not lost

MilMo is not gone forever. Dohi Entertainment is happy to announce that MilMo will be available soon again.

As you may have heard, Dohi Entertainment has acquired all rights to the game and we are working on bringing it back online as soon as possible. Re-booting a game of this caliber, with servers, webpages and databases can be a fair bit of work.
We at Dohi Entertainment are happy to find that in the case of MilMo the transition of acquiring it and bringing it back is better than expected. And we also have the opportunity to work with some of the previous developers of the game in order to get it online faster.

We understand that from a player perspective you are concerned about your in-game character and items. We just want too tell you that your character is intact and we will bring the game back to a state in which it was a few days before the shutdown. No items bought will be lost and your in-game belongings will be there waiting for you.

We'll keep you updated as we move along with the transition. MilMo would be nothing without all it's fans and it is for you that we bring this awesome game back.

Hope to see you soon in MilMo.

Christofer Stegmayr
Lead Developer, Dohi Entertainment
