Brandon Turnin

Brandon Turnin is a game designer known for founding Rose Gold Studios in 1993 during ATBW Blog's golden age, which led to them becoming recognized as one of the little three alongside Wedgehead Studios (1994) and Elephant Studios (1995), competing against rivals including the big two studios; Merrill Studios (1990) and Signature Studios (1992).

Personal Life
Turnin was born and raised in California City, California, and he favored the color pink, as well as flamingoes. He decided to make a game project that would feature a flamingo as its main protagonist, which would be released on June 13, 1993.

Apart from running his company, Turnin also owns a grille that he opened in 2009 (Flamingo Grille) that is complete with a guitar stage and neon pink signage including flamingoes, which is his favorite animal. A four-foot statue of Rose Gold Flamingo from his first game is also inside the grille as well. However, Turnin isn't actually present inside the restaurant and instead has a manager, though he does go there to play guitar as part of organized bands. Will Beard has also stated that Flamingo Grille is one of his favorite restaurants and has even played with Turnin in organized bands. Turnin owns a pink 1993 Fender Stratocaster while Beard owns a 1973 Gibson Les Paul.
