tjgames is a tall indie game designer who lives in the Pacific Northwest and takes care of critters fur a living. He started a website called tjgames.com where he has some of the games that he created. tjgames is Tim Schutz and Tim Schutz is
tjgames.
I love games and I have been playing them since I was little. I played many of the classic board games from that era (the 60s)...Clue, Monopoly, Life, Mouse Trap,
Yahtzee, to name a few. As I got taller (and older) I
found more strategic board games and card games to play. I studied electrical engineering and worked in the arcade game business for many years...pinball machines, video games, simulators...etc.
The best thing about the arcade business was making sure the games worked properly, which
required testing ...sometimes a lot of testing. I was
working for SEGA in Las Vegas, when they asked me to
move to Seattle in 1997. I said yes and have been here
ever since.
Currently I co-own a pet sitting business with my wife Janice
called Janice's
Critter Care and mostly walk dogs for a living, which is cool because it allows your mind to wonder while you walk; of course you need to be aware of surroundings. But, you can also let your mind wonder and think about; life, games, the cosmos, current events, games, is that tree looking at me. Note: walking is
best without earphones or a little screen in front of you; just the leash, the dog, and your
thoughts ...and some poop bags in one pocket and dog treats in another. |

My dog StellaLuna and I love to hike in the forests of the Pacific Northwest. While we hike we look for faces in the trees. When we spy one (they tend to hide), I’ll take a picture of them. StellaLuna likes to be in the picture when she can. For some of the photographs
I'll create a silhouette to accentuate what we saw. Pop over to the
Pareidolia
Forest if you like to see more.
You can contact me at questions@tjgames.com

Me: What's going on StellaLuna?
StellaLuna: We're contemplating.
Me: Contemplating life?
StellaLuna: No... we're contemplating which seagull to chase.
