GAMES. VIRTUAL REALITY. GOOD COMPANY.
We’re Bytes The Dust. We're weirdos that make games on our own engine. We also REALLY LOVE VR and supporting Communities. Be they PC, Consoles, VR, or cardboard.

02 / CUSTOM ENGINE
Why Make a Custom Engine?
Games are magical places that let people connect. Sometimes you need something more purpose built. A off the shelf engine will do for most projects.
We're just kinda weird and find it fun to make our own. The end goal is making a Game Engine anyone could use for VR titles.
Let’s talk virtual worlds03 / COMMUNITY & ESPORTS
We support the people who keep playing,
building, and bringing others
along.
A community built on Whimsy.
Our work with the Kirby Air Ride Online community brings together the technical tools and behind-the-scenes support that help a competitive scene thrive.
Building KARphin, a custom Dolphin fork for the Kirby Air Ride community.
Creating a Glicko-2 ranking system from the ground up to support competitive play.
Helping with tournament payouts and event merchandise, so more energy can go into the community.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE PIXELS
We’re firm believers in the good that games and virtual reality can do.
A great memory. An unexpected friendship. A community that feels like home. Those are the things that make digital experiences matter to us.
Bytes The Dust brings that mindset to original games, experiments, and community work. We follow our curiosity and build with people in mind.
THERE’S ALWAYS ROOM FOR ANOTHER PLAYER
