About Umpire Gaming

A family-powered indie game studio building games with AI-powered tools.

The Studio

Umpire Gaming is a one-person indie studio with a full family behind it. What started as a solo dev project quickly became a family effort — two sons (ages 12 and 16) serve as lead playtesters, game design consultants, and toughest critics, while the team's creative director shapes the story, characters, and artistic vision.

The Game

Token-mon is a cyberpunk creature-collection RPG set in Metallica City. Players explore 10 neon-drenched districts, play 50+ arcade machines, collect and evolve 71 Token-mon creatures across 6 metal types, and battle 8 bosses using a unique slot-reel combat system.

The game features a full storyline with visual-novel cutscenes, 29+ original soundtrack tracks, global high score leaderboards, 15 NPC quests, 6 shops, team building with support synergies, and a post-game Arena League.

Built with AI

Token-mon was built over 8 months using AI-powered tools — proving that a small team with the right tools can create something ambitious.
