About Us
QByte Studios is an Australian indie game studio dedicated to creating innovative and immersive gaming experiences. We currently operate on a volunteer basis, united by our passion for building great games together. While we do not generate revenue at this time, we are committed to compensating all team members if we transition to a commercial model in the future.
Our flagship project, Nanites, is a cooperative zombie builder survival game that combines strategic building mechanics, intense combat, and a compelling narrative. With a semi-realistic visual style, Nanites draws inspiration from titles such as Fortnite: Save the World, Days Gone, and Lethal Company.
We’re looking for passionate individuals to join our team and help bring Nanites to life! Don’t worry if you’re not at the top of your field or have years of experience—what matters most is your enthusiasm and willingness to grow with us.
