Kees "TurboTuTone" Bekkema, often abbreviated to just Turbo, is an official coder for The Indie Stone's Project Zomboid from the Netherlands.[1]

History

Joining The Indie Stone

Turbo first discovered Project Zomboid while it was still available on Desura, prior to its release on Steam in 2013. He entered the spotlight among the community as a modder after releasing his Erosion mod in November of 2013.[2] The mod immediately caught traction within the community and eventually, Turbo joined The Indie Stone to integrate his mod into the main game in September of 2014.[3]

Time at The Indie Stone

Shortly after integrating and expanding upon his Erosion mod in the main game, Turbo was officially announced as a member of The Indie Stone's dev team, in December of 2014.[4] He first began integrating TV and radio channels prepared by Will Porter.

Turbo was responsible for developing the realistic climate system and weather effects added in build 40.[5] Turbo then returned to working on the 'electronic systems', making CDs and VHS tapes usable in build 41.[6] Turbo is currently working on the advanced crafting system for build 42. [7]
