Realized I haven’t even made an intro post yet 😆

I’m Kat, a Game Dev with a focus on 3D Characters, currently implementing Destiny 2 armors! Can’t show anything related to that just yet, but I’ll be sharing my past work on Pokémon GO, Star Wars, and FNAF. 💜 Hope to find more Game Devs like me here!

It might have been considered, just got stopped a long the way somewhere. Remasters can be easier than remakes, but both still take significant effort.

But that does sound lovely!

Kat Hoppe @hoppekat.bsky.social · 12h

In my heart I want to say D 😆, it probably would be if the first one ever got a remake

C. It’s really hard for me to play the OG on a personal level. I struggle with the graphics and game design is all.

I remember this piece! <3

Sign our petition urging the US FTC to watch this deal closely. If left unchecked, this deal spells disaster for EA's workers and players alike, but there's still time to do something about it!

Make EA Better for Workers and Gamers - Not Billionaires

A group of investors - including the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners - wants to buy Electronic Arts, concentrating even more power and wealth into the hands...

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

Kat Hoppe @hoppekat.bsky.social · 16d

Ugh they’re perfect! 💜

Kat Hoppe @hoppekat.bsky.social · 16d

Lmao, instead of casting ‘dissonant whispers’ it’s ‘supporting words’

“NICE WORK”, “Your OC looks sick!”

In the distance you hear the sounds of someone doing an ollie and skating away

Also, I have to wait to get portfolio approvals and when content releases to be able to share stuff of course. I tried a few months ago for some approvals but it got put on hold. I think I should be able to try again soon though!

Kat Hoppe @hoppekat.bsky.social · 16d

Always felt the same for you too! ❤️

Yeah sometimes it’s just do I have the mental energy right now kinda thing lol. I’ve been finding myself drifting away from a lot of social media as of late, but still wanting those small pockets of genuine community interactions online if that makes sense

Kat Hoppe @hoppekat.bsky.social · 16d

I feel the same way! I love what I get to work on every day honestly. I’m extremely fortunate to feel like this quote "Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life."

Obviously this can’t be the case every day but it really is most days for me ❤️

Kat Hoppe @hoppekat.bsky.social · 16d

Ohhh nice! Excited to see what you do!

Kat Hoppe @hoppekat.bsky.social · 16d

I’ve seen a former co-worker get quoted in a game news article just for posting on LinkedIn that they were looking for a job. It’s a wild time

Kat Hoppe @hoppekat.bsky.social · 16d

I think some of it too is subconsciously a fear of what I say online. Im like simultaneously a nobody but also a somebody. My words can be used against me even if I had no intention to speak ill or draw attention to myself just cause I’m a dev

Kat Hoppe @hoppekat.bsky.social · 16d

I’m so bad at making posts on here, but still love being a nerd and interacting with you all. I guess I’m fine with being a supportive lurker lol

Kat Hoppe @hoppekat.bsky.social · 16d

Going to change up which route you take Gale this time?

Kat Hoppe @hoppekat.bsky.social · 16d

B, felt confusing and way too grindy. Really enjoyed ME3’s multiplayer though

Kat Hoppe @hoppekat.bsky.social · 16d

Yay!!!! Did you love Gale’s proposal? 🥰

Kat Hoppe @hoppekat.bsky.social · 19d

I’m really tired y’all

Boolair Thorboorn 👻 @oiblair.bsky.social · 19d

on the one hand, it has felt really reassuring to have a community of game people to navigate these brutal industry days.

on the other, it would be great if we could stop needing to collectively mourn the collapse of our livelihoods, health, and futures every other day of the week.

Kat Hoppe @hoppekat.bsky.social · 20d

I had the opposite effect, a ton of my friends who never interacted with the DA series in a big way loved VG and got super into the franchise because of it

Project management for personal works means having a hard time forgiving oneself for not having enough energy or not being inspired while chipping away at what's left to do.

And still hoping for the best anyway

Kat Hoppe @hoppekat.bsky.social · 21d

Wow I thought this was a photograph at first! Stunning work!

Kat Hoppe @hoppekat.bsky.social · 23d

I’m sorry to inform you that I am a woman who not only makes the games, but actually plays them too! 😱

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA
