About Milky Turdle
Small studio.
Wide orbit.
Milky Turdle is an independent studio founded and operated by Malcolm Tough in Edmonton, Alberta. We make games, useful automation, and quality-of-life software—playful things built with serious care.
Why we exist
The interesting work lives between categories.
Milky Turdle started from a simple pattern: some problems want a tool, some ideas want a game, and the most interesting work often sits somewhere in between.
Rather than force every idea into one box, we follow the real problem and build the thing it needs to become. That might be a world to play in, an automation that gives an hour back, or a small app that makes awkward technology feel friendlier.
Useful can still have a little magic in it.
What we make
Different shapes.
One standard of care.
Automation
Practical tools that take repetitive work off someone’s plate and return a little time to their day.
SIMPLIFY · CONNECT · RETURN TIMEQuality of life
Focused apps for awkward little problems—the kind that deserve a thoughtful solution, not a giant platform.
NOTICE · CARE · IMPROVEHow we work
Built deliberately.
No giant-studio theatre. Just curious work, honest scope, and attention to the details people actually feel.
- 01
Useful before complicated
The right-sized solution beats the most impressive-looking one.
- 02
Playful, not careless
Warmth and personality belong beside reliability and craft.
- 03
Small enough to care
Details matter when a tool or game becomes part of someone’s day.
- 04
Follow the real problem
Some ideas need a game. Others need an app. The problem gets to decide.
