Jhondie T. Abenaza of Zeenoh Games has been passionate about playing games since childhood. His dream has always been to develop his own games and have his own development studio. He has seen how his passion and advocacy can produce more talents in game development, which has kept him going in this industry.
At Zeenoh, Jhondie is responsible for project management. He also trains the people in the company and feels that his previous career experience has been helpful in giving him the knowledge to provide the right training. With a company based in the Philippines, he is in a position to assess the game market in Asia, which he feels is a crucial player in this market since it serves as the gateway where East and West meet. The market encompasses all languages and cultures, so he feels it is a great advantage to have a company in this area.
During Jhondie’s career as a hard-core programmer and developer, he had reached the top level of experience. So the challenge he faced where was to go next with his career, and he decided his direction would be starting his own studio. He strongly believes you should never stop learning and dreaming.
Global Recognition
Jhondie has had moments of great satisfaction in his career. One of these occurred when two of Zeenoh’s games were recognized by the Game Developers Association of the Philippines during their Game Development Festival. A second was when they won for the Kiip Build a Fund. He is very excited to see the games they have developed be recognized not only in the Philippines, but also in other parts of the world.
