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!

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!

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!

I want to play these because they look amazing. But does anyone know if they are accessible with a screen reader or screen magnifier?

[project-tea]

A temporary fix! I noticed that all the games have a key command built in: when you press “v” on the keyboard, a computerized voice will read the text in the game.

I hope this can help for a while until I figure out how to do text size options! :D

[project-tea]

ever played the robo-tea games and wondered “dang, I wish I could be a cutiebot”?

wonder no longer! I’m now taking commissions for turning you into the cutest, queerest bot!

please send inquiries to josiecomics at gmail dot com!

[project-tea]

due to a circumstance I completely forgot about, I rolled out commissions earlier than expected…

even if you can’t buy rn, I always appreciate helpful reblogs!
