Turtle Space Improvements

You heard it here first! That's right, we will be improving Turtle Space one step at a time, On Friday we announced on the Turtle Space Forums and on My official Twitter (@TurtleTorgo) that Turtle Space has just been launched into BETA Testing mode, a large drift from Alpha mode. In this, we have given the site a complete Re-fresh with brand new design, new Forums Features, a new Report a User feature, the ability to comment on videos, A brand new HomePage for the site and some cool buttons and banners around the site. We even gave Turtle Space a new Quiz Feature (WITH NEW QUIZZES EVERY WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY!) And updated Turtle Space with much less writing. Now you can also connect/sign-in/sign-up to Turtle Space with your FACEBOOK Account. Turtle Space can be accessed by clickng HERE!

Here's a lst of all of the new Turtle Space Features/Bug Fixes& Updates.

Turtle Space is being updated with new Design changes, Bug fixes and new updates with fun things to do. We're working on a way in which we can offer a Music Streaming Service/Radio Partnership Offer and a Point and Badge system into Turtle Space. So make sure your Turtle keeps social! We're finding ways we can intergrate Turtle Space into Turtle World, so look out for TS in TW during the next Few Months.

New Music/Sound Effects coming to Turtle World

During the past 2 weeks, we have been testing music in some areas of Turtle World(Green Fire Club & The Lake) which you can check out now and give us feedback on. Once we have mastered the skill of input and output of music data on Turtle World in a few rooms, we will be prepared to add many more Sound Effects and Music Peices into Turtle World, for example, Sound Effects for Doors openining, The ambience of some areas in Turtle World, when buttons are clicked etc. Or pop-type music, rock-type music and other cool genres of music to put in different Areas e.g, Town, Port, Blue Sky Coffee...

Our music team are working SUPER Hard on creating music and sound effects for Turtle World, and trust me... it isn't as easy as 1, 2, 3! Tell us what type of Effects/Music you would like to see in Turtle World and Spread the World! There's always room for new stuff and We are listening, so if you think something should be added or changed, let the team know and we will take your Idea into consideration (That doesn't mean it will be made into Turtle World.)

Turtle Special Forces

The Turtle Special Forces has been a huge new feature coming to Turtle World for the past month or so, and it's almost here! With the Turtle World Special Forces HQ releasing in just a few days from now, every turtle will soon be able to take on their training and everyone will become a part of the Turtle Special Forces... After all, we do want to keep Turtle World Safe... right? :)

Here is a sneakpeak of what is inside the HQ-

Be sure to stick around during the next 2 weeks, Because the Turtle Special Forces is ready to be Set up and giving Turtle's the skill to help prevent future disturbunces in Turtle World.

Buddies & Buddy Lists

Everyone has their friends, Right? I sure do! Well soon on Turtle World, When you see a friend or meet someone new whom you may think is worthy of becoming your friend, you will be able to add that user as a 'Buddy' and keep them on your very own 'Buddies Only List'! Where you can keep your own personal database of who is your Turtle World friend, If a friend is online or offline and who they are and what their turtle looks like. We will go more in-depth in the future, but for now we're just giving you a taster of what the Buddies feature will be.

So that's your little taster of some cool things which are to come in Spring, we do have a lot more neat stuff that we will be releasing and showing off during the spring, but this is just the 25% of what is to come during this fantastic Season.

As always,

Spread The World!
