We’re currently preparing our vertical slice for Nanites, which will showcase the core gameplay, systems, and tone of the full game.

Here’s what to expect in the demo:

• The opening cutscene to introduce the world and narrative

• One mission of each type: Defensive and Offensive

• At least one weapon from each category (AR, SMG, Shotgun, etc)

• Vessel AI for dynamic combat encounters

• One fully playable zone from Serenia

• Our building and inventory systems

• Polished core movement mechanics

• A functional in-game menu (note: some features will be disabled/greyed out)

We’re targeting a release window between July and September 2025. Once the Vertical Slice is complete, we’ll begin pursuing funding through VicScreen and Epic MegaGrants to support further development.

We are currently focusing on our debut game 𝗡𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝘀.
In the future we want to focus on a wide range of game genres, from narrative-driven adventures to experimental and innovative gameplay experiences. Our goal is to push creative boundaries while delivering compelling and polished games.

At QByte Studios, we use the term 'contributor' because it better reflects our collaborative culture, but legally, all contributors are independent contractors. This change acknowledges the value of everyone's work.

We believe in fairly compensating everyone who contributes to our projects. Once a game generates revenue, it is distributed based on each contributor’s level of involvement and agreed-upon shares. Net revenue refers to the profit remaining after covering all expenses, including taxes, operational costs, and platform fees. The specifics of revenue distribution are discussed and documented before revenue is generated to ensure fairness and clarity for all contributors.

We use a net revenue-sharing model: after covering necessary expenses, contributors are compensated first, and leadership is compensated last. While leadership decisions remain with the CEO, contributors participate equally in project-related creative discussions and development processes. This model emphasizes collaboration, transparency, and shared responsibility while maintaining clear leadership and financial accountability.

We are committed to fostering an 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗳𝘂𝗹 environment where everyone feels valued. Our contributor model emphasizes transparency, equitable treatment, and the celebration of diverse perspectives and experiences.
