About Us
We are Pumpkin Gaming, a team of passionate game developers that started sitting around a kitchen table in Corvallis. We want to expand that initial vision into a full-fledged game development studio that creates awesome and unique games.
We are a small team of software engineers, graphic designers, and sound designers who are commited to turning our passion for game development into a reality.
