Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re well aware of the booming virtual pet industry that has taken second life by storm (Yes, even I’m in on it!) but along with all the exaggerated hoopla, the theatrics, protests and mud slinging surrounding Sion Zaius – someone has crept quietly in the back door and effectively blown us all away with their savvy. Meet the brilliant gentleman behind Petable, the artificially intelligent, breedable Turtles that have swept the hearts of hundred in just the short week since they’ve been released.
These little 5-prim turtles have set a brand new benchmark for developers everywhere, not just in the virtual pet industry, but in the implementation of independent content creation in virtual worlds or shared platforms. Their approach has been unique, the aim is to have fun without going bankrupt and they goal is to create and foster a community that both intend to be incredibly active in themselves, including hosting Turtle shows for participants!
But, that’s not all! Listen in for an exclusive announcement on whats coming up NEXT for the turtles and their parents as we sit back for a chat with the Godfathers of Turtles everywhere.

Thank you for interviewing these folks, although I think “Happy Together” ought to play during turtle-sex.
