Hi, I'm Turtlebox, an award winning composer who with a portfolio consisting of over 100 game jam submissions, multiple commercial releases, and a history of composing for film and television aswell.

Here is a link to my discography via BandCamp and below is a list of my successful commercial releases, as well as some award winning Gamejam projects.

GrindHouse - https://theturtlebox.itch.io/grindhouse GrindHouse aims to give game developers, producers, and sound designers a pallete of harsh and painful tones blended with the iconic padwork. Created by sampling the sounds of industrial farming equipment, various types of sheet metal, and numerous percussive elements.

Letters & Memories - https://theturtlebox.itch.io/letters-memories Letters & Memories provided game devs, producers, and sound designers a open walk through the sounds of early 200s and late 90s ambience and pads, inspired heavily by Akira Yamaoka and retro Sample CDs. Created using the exact Romplers and techniques by Yamaoka during the production of Silent Hill 1 through Silent Hill 3.

Natural Pain - https://theturtlebox.itch.io/natural-paint-a-haunted-strings-ambience-collection A collection of haunting string based samples, produced entirely by myself in my home studio using exclusively analog software and live instruments. Dark and Atmospheric ambience for all needs.

Fable Rescored - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUv8mv4w_NE&list=PL92YNWGgyTAseYuZskeweCWz21vyQVTzP a collection of orchestral tracks as part of a project in where I Rescore Fable: Anniversary. Composed entirely on my own and recorded in my home studio.

Lastly a link to my Youtube Channel, which features tutorials on sound design, rescore videos, and audio demonstrations showing off my work - https://www.youtube.com/@TurtleBoxOfficial

This post gives me bot vibes, so you get the bot check - what's your favorite kind of torture?

It's insane to go "this post gives bot vibes" when there's links to multiple different socials and such pretty blatantly confirming that I am not a bot, lmao.

All forms of torture are equal though. I personally think anything involving engineered machinary is cool though.

It's moreso a matter of posts feeling like spam, then. That's a better word then bots. I want people to be involved who ideally, are freaks for torture, and who aren't going to charge people an arm and a leg for their involvement in a jam game. I see posts like this and worry about what people want to gain.

Why would you assume I'm charging people an arm and a leg to participate? 

I've very openly participated in over 200 Gamejams. I like doing GameJams, hence why I apply to do audio work for as many as possible when I'm not working on commercial projects. 

Super sucks to be a credible name in the GameDev space and referred to as a "spam bot" when I'm just out here trying to do free work with smaller teams for jams.

And I also feel like as the host of the jam it's not cool of you to do this to people who you can easily spot as credible. Downvoting my posts and encouraging people not to work with me (as I've been told by mutuals in this jam) is just super uncool, dude. Like really toxic.

I'm surprised by the "downvoting my posts and encouraging people not to work with you" since... I'm not the one doing the downvoting, and I haven't said anything of the sort and I'm sorry that is how it has come across. 


I see a handful of people who make posts that are the same template for a bunch of jams, and it made me concerned. it seems like I was being overly concerned for nothing, and for that I apologize. I wasn't trying to cause a toxic atmosphere, I'm just trying to verify that people are actually interested/legit. In my mind, I wouldn't know if someone just took a username and used the links of a legit person to get folks to work with them, or if they are legit, or if they are hoping for payment, or what their desires are. (Although... someone who has uploads is ultimately less likely to be a bot/spam) I saw a few different posts like this on my jam, which is ultimately a very small jam, and it makes me think "is this like the jam spam entries i've gotten before? Are people just trying to get as many eyes on themselves as possible? What's the rub?"

Maybe the main reason my other jams have had less of these posts are because they have had a more strict time limit, and this jam has been technically eligible for people to work on it for longer. 

It ultimately seems like my suspicion has caused some bad blood or has made some folks unenthused with the jam as a whole, which is sad, but I have nothing left to offer at this point but my ability to apologize and to offer to delete my previous messages.

Once again, attempting to bump this.

I've done more than enough to prove I'm not a bot and Fisher has apologized and seen my socials with fairly large followings.

If anyone needs audio work done, I'm still open to collab.
