About me

My name is Kristopher Kath, and I love learning how to create video games for people to enjoy. I started my journey into video game development 5 years ago by pursuing a Computer Science degree at CSU, Long Beach. I have experience creating video games in Unity and in Unreal Engine. I've had the opportunity to work with organizations such as Girls Make Games & Games for Love, and I hope to do more in the future! I recently graduated in the Fall of 2021 and now I am on the look out for jobs in the games industry. I hope that you find my work enjoyable, and thank you for visiting!

Work Experience

Girls Make Games

With GMG I worked as a Camp Counselor during the 2019 and 2021 camp sessions where I taught campers how to develop games in Unity and in Construct 3.

Games for Love

During my time with Games for Love I worked as a volunteer game developer where I joined a team working on a game called "Battle for the Kingdom" (listed below). The game is now published on steam where all proceeds go towards helping children.
