Milky Tea is no ordinary UK video game development studio. It all started in 2005 with a brainstorm over a cup of tea by two designer-artists who had some big ideas and lots of determination. Today we are a highly skilled team of around 30 dreamers, creative thinkers, engineers, and artists who design, develop, and publish our own video game IPs as well as offering “work for hire” game development services. Milky Tea is part of the Aonic Collective of game studios and our mission is to bring joy and create unforgettable moments in people’s lives through video games.
