Something’s Brewing…

Heyo! My name's Hoby (He/Him) and I'm the founder of Copper Kettle Gameworks 🫖, a heartfelt invitation to a safe inclusive workplace, making games we ourselves would be delighted to play.

In a system that can tend towards exploitation, it is very important to me that our efforts benefit the people and places we rely on and grow alongside. Accountability, acceptance and doing the work are core to both my own journey and the hopes to nudge the status quo.

I hope to develop the kind of space where people feel free to be “more” of who they are - which lets this uniqueness be reflected in the work we do together. Every Muppet has their role. The world needs your unique perspective and I believe game dev is a great medium to express it.

More and more people play video games every year and these players represent more and more diversity. I believe there is space for simple, easily communicated games which can be shared between folks from different demographics (such as age and experience, but also varied backgrounds and ability). If the child in your life discovers one of our games, I want them to be able to invite you to play it after an explanation that takes less than a minute.

We're putting in the time to make sure the game concepts are viable, unique, and have heart. And most importantly:

Reach out if you’d like to hear more about what we’ve got planned, or if you’d just like to sit down and share a cup of tea sometime.
