History
In the spring of 2019, Travis Linden Reid, along with a handful of other game developers operating under the name So Good Games, created a dating sim set on a phone called ๐๐พ๐(โpeach vodkaโ) for a game jam, which now has over 40,000+ plays on Itch with virtually no marketing or press coverage.
Travis, obsessed with the whole game-set-on-a-simulated-mobile-phone thing, shortly thereafter started work on Project: Iced Coffee, originally a dating sim which then became a more general point-and-click-adventure/ visual novel. He created the label Studio Tilia to apply to this and future independent projects.
In 2023, Project: Iced Coffee was selected for the WINGS Elevate program, a Netflix-sponsored mobile games accelerator created to elevate mobile games created by diverse studios.
In 2024, Travis burned out from working full-time in the game industry while trying to start Studio Tilia up as a business, and quit his software engineering career to pursue becoming an educator and finishing Project: Iced Coffee as a fully independent game.
In September of 2025, Travis launched a public beta of Project: Iced Coffee with the final title are we good? ๐.
About Studio Tilia
At Studio Tilia, our goal is to tell stories about humanity and the internet through mixed-media interactive experiences that provoke emotion and thought. We believe that by subverting expectations of what interactive fiction can be, we subvert our playerโs relationships to technology and media. We also believe that these goals cannot be accomplished without the work of our diverse, independent, and creatively dedicated contributors.
