Vancouver gaming startup Pepperdev Studios is using the power of crowdfunding to raise funds for a local hospital. The studio launched the fund raiser following the lunach of its first title: Hungry Fins.
After release of the game, Pepperdev Studios will donate a portion of its revenue to the BC Children’s Hospital.
The kid-friendly game is currently in full development stage. Beyond just an iPhone game, Hungry Fins is looking to produce a brand that entertains children and adults alike.
It seemed like the perfect opportunity, having grown up in Vancouver, to give back to the community through a partnership with The BC Children’s Hospital, according to a Pepperdev statement.
