Hobbi Games company

My name is Lorie Jay Gutierrez. As of this writing I'm 35 and have been working as a software engineer for 15 years. I have a passion for drawing, programming, playing and making video games. In my younger days I used to draw comic books and show them off to my classmates. I remember starting to pick up the pencil to draw "Bambi" when I was 4. While I did aspire to become an artist/illustrator, I eventually abandoned that dream to go for a more career-oriented course. However, I never stopped drawing, and I improved my skills on my own.

As for video games, I always appreciated games that ship with a map editor. I remember spending countless hours making maps for Battle City (NES), but it wasn't until I discovered Age of Empires' scenario editor that I realized I wanted to start making games of my own. It prompted me to shift courses from Civil Engineering to Computer Engineering. As a game developer I just want to get my ideas out there-- make games that are fun for me, that I hope would be fun for other people too. I also want to eventually make a full-time career as a game developer, but I want to be the one calling the shots and make games that I myself would likely play.

Hobbi Games is mainly just me, as I do my own art, programming, and music. Occasionally I do get help from friends and families who share the same passion as me. I do my game development stuff in my spare time.
