Pipeworks Studios

Pipeworks Studios is a Eugene, Oregon-based video game developer founded in November 1999 by Dan White and Dan Duncalf. The studio has grown from early real-time 3D graphics demonstrations for the original Xbox into a long-running development partner for console, PC, mobile, and live-service games.

Its work spans full-cycle game development, AAA co-development, engineering support, cross-platform porting, and post-launch live operations. Pipeworks also develops original IP and purpose-driven interactive experiences for educational, healthcare, and defense or government simulation applications.
