I am launching a new design for Turt99 Productions. I hope you like it, let me know what you think. I wanted to refresh the site with a new clean and simple look. The site has had the same look for a long time and I think it was really far too busy looking. Hopefully this will help people get to the basic information they are looking for. I’m also hoping that the site update will hopefully help me stay focused on the development of the games.

Speaking of the games I would REALLY like to rewrite the games for iOS so that I could sell them in the App Store. The problem is that I know from experience that I likely won’t finish the project and I don’t have $1,000 to spend on getting a Mac computer and developers license, if the project isn’t going to be finished. The past shows that I get really into development and make tons for plans for how I want to proceed and then at some point life steps in the way for a week and everything stops for 6 months to a year.

So for now the plan is going to be to continue with the development and target Linux, Windows, and possibly Mac. I’m going to rework and clean up TURT’S PUZZLE BLOCKS and TURT’S MAZE CRAZE so that they are ready for release, and then I will likely offer some type of LITE/DEMO version along with an inexpensive PRO/PAY version.

The idea of the PRO/PAY version being that you get a little more then the LITE/DEMO version but you also support the development of future games, or ports to additional platforms like iOS. Don’t worry, the PRO/PAY version is not going to be expensive and it probably won’t even be required to enjoy the game. I don’t want to get into DRM or anything to stop pirating, I’m just hoping that I can build an audience for future projects while at the same time try and raise a little money to support development in terms of releasing on more platforms. Game Development is just a hobby, I’m not looking to turn this into a money making machine so that I can quit my day job.

For now, enjoy the new look and subscribe to the RSS or check back often to get the latest updates.
