Wishing I was heading east to be part of another RetroGameCon this weekend, but alas, I chose to save myself for Really Rad Weekend next month. I hope everyone has fun in Syracuse, and I am really excited to head back to Fort Walton Beach, namesake for our own Walton the Turtle! 🐢

For Release:
Turtle Time Media has been acquired by a private equity firm for a crisp new $2 bill. Walton the Turtle will retain his current role as "the best."

An updated demo has been posted for PACKEY, our new dot-gobbler game. I've updated the engine for better control over the hero, as well as graphics enhancements and the start of an interactive overworld map.

Ever since the beginning, I have had a "Skip the Straw / Save a Turtle" seal on my games and merchandise.
I feel it is wrong to continue to pollute in ways known to be harmful to other species, like our sea turtle friends, when other options are easily available.

Back in 2021, I developed #TurtlePaint for the NES as an escape from everyday life. Today, we need that more than ever. If you crave a stress-free and creative experience, please give my game a try.
