We’re excited and grateful to be nominated for a TIGA Games Industry Awards in the Strategy genre! ✨ Huge thanks to everyone who’s supported our journey. This means a lot to our team! Let’s keep making seriously playful games #milkyteastudios #indiegame #gritandvalor #gritandvalor1949

It's official, Milky Tea is celebrating its 20th anniversary! We want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has been part of the Milky Tea journey and those who have supported us along the way. The best is yet to come, so stay with us on this journey for some seriously playful games!

I reviewed @milkyteastudios.bsky.social's Grit and Valor 1949 for @uploadvr.com. It's an alternative history WWII mech combat strategy game with elements of tower defense and rogeulites, and it's one of the coolest VR strat games I've played in years. www.uploadvr.com/grit-and-val...

Incredible work! Great weathering and the glow effect is spot on. Thank you so much for painting this for us 🤩
