a quiet, small thing

I think a lot of changes in my life have lead to a place where I can now work on robo-tea2 in peace. hopefully this helps me finish the game this year, and finally get it tested next year...

[project-tea]

Happy Valentine's Day, my friends!

Since robo-tea2 won't be out for a while, I wanted to let you all in on the next leg of your MusiFest journey!

You will meet the band Misten, and get to chat them up a little bit! But!! Who asks you out first? :3c stay tuned!

robo-tea2 update:

I hate when I have to post bad news.

I know I have mentioned health as an issue in the past, and I brought up on twitter that I’ve been sick for a few weeks. I thought this would just affect the release date by a few days.

Tonight, I tried getting my laptop to work, but I can’t. I’m going to try getting it repaired some time next month, and hopefully I’ll be well by then too.

I really really want to share more queer cutiebot dating with you all. For now, I’m tentatively pushing back the release date to June 16 (my bday), just to be safe.

Please continue to come back for updates! Thank you for supporting robo-tea for so long, and helping me achieve my robot dating sim dreams!

PEOPLE who scream in the tags under my art

you are so fucking valid and you are my biggest source of motivation i  love you

[project-tea]

can you believe my game’s concept is 10 years old,

development for the project-tea version of the game started in Feb 2014,

and after this past year of Homo Robo Promo... people are recognizing my games!! ;w;

[project-tea]

1 year and 8 months later... I finally make a belated trailer for robo-tea:1cup!

robo-tea! is a queer robot dating sim series, where you partake in sweet romances and have no bad endings! (because I’m all about fulfilling the utopian homo robo dreams)

in this all-robot world you’re Galine, a guardbot who’s been given a curious task… through the path you choose, learn more about the bots around you and go on a cute, calm date!

I’m at SacAnime this weekend, at table IP9!

This is the first time I’m selling things in person, so if you’d like datemate cards, let your SacAnime attendee friends know if you want any~

Also!!! I’m going to definitely do a highlights post at the end of the con…. so many good things have happened today, and it’s only been day one!

I would love for friends and friends-of-friends to enjoy and share my games! after all, at first I designed 1cup with my buddies in mind!!

On the lookout for queer games with positive, calm, #ownvoices content?

Let’s be cutiebots and go on cute, queer dates in the robo-tea game series!

Some key features of these games are:

Queer Robot Characters

Gentle Story

No Bad Ends

2nd Person Narrative with 3rd Person View

Designed as a Safe Space/Therapeutic game

Polyamory in MistenMinicups and 2ndServing

a secret note hidden in one of the main ui screens of each game!

My goal with these games (and many more) is to share sweet, romantic stories where you can feel safe. If you’d like to learn more about the concept, look here!

Hello again friends!

I have a poll on twitter right now, asking if you would be able to attend a robo-tea2 release party in February 2018!

The amount of possible attendees will help me determine how big of an event place I should look for!

More details to come, next week!

[project-tea]

hello! do you have a favourite cutiebot already? if you'd like to know more, see these posts!

overseer bots

ah!!! thank you so much, I'm very glad you enjoyed them!

I am absolutely in love with @project-tea‘s Robo-Tea games. 

[project-tea]

i just played 1 cup and i was wondering what you meant by theres a secret note in the ui of the game? i didn't find anything :(

no worries! if you click on a part of the art in the main screen (or title screen I guess?), there will be an easter egg. :3c

I try to keep notes close to my characters’ hearts!

I forgot to mention that there’s also secret notes for 1Sip and MistenMinicup, and will be there in every finished game’s main screen~

IT’S TODAY!!! I’m heading out to set up in an hour, and I’m super nervous and excited… If you have any friends visiting SacAnime this weekend, please let them know of the jo-robo table! ^O^

Hey there!!

I finally made another dream of mine come true, and got a table at my hometown con, SacAnime!

If you’re in the Sacramento, CA area this weekend (9/1 to 9/3), feel free to visit the robo-tea table, Indie Press Table 9.

To sweeten this, I’ll be giving people character artcards if they show a receipt of buying any of the robo-tea games! $1 gets you one artcard, and $5 gets you the full set of 6! These cards will also be for sale at the table!
