House Rules

Five promises, poured fresh with every release.

By a player, for the players

Nothing leaves the workshop until I've played every inch of it myself, and enjoyed it.

Why "Mad"?

Because the best ideas arrive at 3 AM, uninvited, carrying a teapot.

A lantern in the woods

Mad Tea Party Development is the workshop of Alvie Spurlock, also known as HattersMania: game developer, storyteller and chaos-alchemist. The tools on this menu are the same ones that keep the studio running. They helped me, so I'm putting them out there to help you too.

Those who are called "mad" are often just ahead of their time.

A longer table, with more chairs

Mad Tea Party is a proud member of the Ethical Indie Dev Coalition, a growing circle of game makers who'd rather pour a fuller cup for their players and the wide, wobbly world than for their own ledgers.

Count hearts before coins, and the coins will find their way to the table.

The dream is a whole Wonderland of studios like that, where the players and the world are welcome guests, never the last thing on the menu. Meet the coalition →
