Happy World Kindness Day from everyone at Milky Tea Studios! Let’s #SpreadKindness and make the world brighter together. #WorldKindnessDay

In October, our team at Milky Tea, racked up an epic 2,239,286 steps – that’s around 1,791 km (1,113 miles) of collective movement! To put it into perspective, we could’ve walked from Liverpool to Kraków, Poland. Here are a few snaps along the way!

Grit and Valor 1949 Review: A Tactician's Dream in VR Grit and Valor 1949 is a polished blend of tight grid-based combat, roguelite progression, and tactile VR interactivity that's fresh and exhilarating.

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.

How we added sound depth to the resistance base

Designing the Resistance Base wasn’t just about visuals. The real atmosphere comes from the layered sound design that brings it to life.

You should! Quite a few of us in the team are really into miniature painting and have loved getting stuck into these. If you do end up getting back into it, be sure to show off some of your work. We would love to see it! 😃

Rainy days mean more time to paint our mechs. Check out this one our artist Luke painted for the team! How would you paint yours?
