We're currently cooking up an Android version of OESE. It's early stages and we need to test some things but we're super excited to announce that soon you'll be able to play OESE on your tablet!
It's hard to say when this will be done as we'll have to move the HUD around a bit and optimize some things but for the most part it works pretty well and feels really nice.

Thanks!

Our new game is on Greenlight!
Hello everyone!
Thank you for all the continued support and feedback for OESE. If you fancy trying your hands on something a bit more intense then check out our new game Dead over on greenlight: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=749763273
Every vote is appreciated and we are very excited to finally get this up and running!
Thank you for your time!

Achievements Are Back!
We're back and we've fixed achievements. In theory you should just be able to load your game and it will give you all your missing achievements straight away. If that doesn't happen you may have to try getting the achievement again. Let us know if there are any continuing problems in the community hub!
Thanks,
Alec
Apologies Regarding Achievements
Hey,
I'm deeply sorry for this but a big mistake has been made on our end meaning no one is getting Steam Achievements. Even rolling back to previous versions doesn't seem to fix it.
I've decided the best action is to keep the game at the most recent and updated build rather than rolling back to the earlier build that has achievements but no drills or other bug fixes.
So when will it be fixed?
Two weeks. Both me and Dane are unable to open the latest build as we are away and unable to access our PCs.
This does not mean that OESE is low priority. We will fix this ASAP and continue to support it.
I did not enjoy typing this out but I feel it's best to be clear and honest about these things.

Squish on,

What happened to the Power Boost achievement?
I have deleted the "Power Boost" achievement since, after the Drills update, the power boost option is no longer available rendering that achievement impossible.
We're looking into other issues involving achievements.

Update 29/06/16
Version 6.0.2
- Fixed being able to open the drills menu by clicking invisible buttons.
- Changed the version number on the menu to 6.0.2
We're now Milo Games
To those curious, we've changed our name from Cloudburst to Milo Games. We had a thought about our name and we wanted something a bit more personal and, turns out, there are hundreds of cloudbursts out there and we didn't feel unique.
Keep it cheeky!

Introducing The Drills Update
Hey!
Our big update is here! We call it "The Drills" update otherwise known as "Planets are now good" update. We felt that planets were a bit lacking and most of the time a dissappointment to encounter. Now, you're able to place a drill on the planet to tap it's resources and gain precious power.
We've also added the option to change your HUD colour using RGB sliders and have enabled Steam screenshots.
Your Guide to Drills
In order to place a drill on a planet you first need to purchase one. Open the drills menu and pay 25 crew to purchase a drill. You can have a maximum of three drills at any time.
When a planet encounter happens and you have a drill available you can place it on the planet to start drilling. This is a lengthy process but once drilling is complete you will be able to tap into a one time power boost and the drill will be lost.
Drills are destroyed when power is drained so keep yourself alive!
You can upgrade drills by spending additional 25 crew per level up to a level 4 drill. The ability to upgrade drills is unlocked by increasing your MIL level. For example, a military level 5 will only let you purchase a level 1 drill. Military level 20 will allow you to upgrade to level 3 drills by spending 75 crew.
The higher the drill level, the faster it will progress and will multiply the power output! A planet that usually gives 5% power with a level 1 drill will give you 20% with a level 4.
Update 26/06/16
Added Drills.
Removed POWER BOOST.
Added the ability to colour the HUD.
Enabled Steam screenshots.
Missiles now change appearance as MIL level increases.
Fixed minor issue with holding down left mouse button on faction window.
All windows now close when opening other windows.
Some grammar issues.
Some balancing issues.
Desert planets will no longer eat crew that isn't there.
We hope you have a great summer!
Alec
