Description

Tea-Powered Games is a British independent game studio lead by Destina Connor and Florencia Minuzzi, aiming to create games combining interesting narratives and mechanical depth. As a company, Tea-Powered Games is focused on expanding the narrative vocabulary of digital games, both in terms of stories and mechanics, with a holistic design approach. We try to make games in the platform that best embodies the feel of the game or story we’re building. In the future, we also hope to assist other companies in improving the quality of their games, working with them to improve their game’s narrative design and fitting it in the scope of their full project.

History

Tea-Powered Games was founded in 2013 by Florencia Minuzzi and Destina Connor, with a vision of expanding both the narratives which are told and the mechanics which are explored in games (because the two are intimately entwined). Their first game is Dialogue: A Writer’s Story, which explores both the writing and research process through novel conversation mechanics. Their second game, Elemental Flow, uses elemental abilities as a form of symbolic, active conversation, with the ultimate goal of reaching an understanding with other people.
