My Name's Max Hutchings. I fell in love with game design at a young age with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, one of the first games to feature a level editor. I spent more time crafting my own levels than actually playing the game, and this tradition continued for every other game I bought with a decent level editor. After a while though, I became bored just messing with other people's games. I wanted my own, I wanted a name for myself. I tried programming with several languages but found building a game from the ground-up was one of the most soul-crushing tasks any one man can take on. I began studying game design, taking notes on some of the most well designed games, such as the original Mario, to find what made games fun. Nowadays I continue to bring my own ideas to life using any engine besides a blank screen with text. Currently i've spent 3+ years in Game Maker, creating games that aren't merely Mario/Sonic clones.
