The Challenge

Store, play, publish, and compete — without splitting into five products.

PlayByt needed one platform for players and creators: catalog, playable games across web and Unity/Three.js, publishing, leaderboards, VS boards, community messages, and integrations.

StoreOne platform for discovering and playing games

PublishCreators need a real path to ship titles into the store

EnginesSupport vanilla, Three.js, and Unity-powered experiences

DataMongoDB and SQL together for flexible game + user models

CompeteLeaderboards and VS boards that feel live

CommunityMessaging and integrations without a bolted-on stack

The Solution

TypeScript full-stack with engines that fit the game

Node and Express APIs, MongoDB and SQL, vanilla where it should be light, Three.js and Unity where play needs depth — plus competitive and social features on top.

01 — The game store

A place to discover, play, and grow a gaming community

PlayByt is a full game store where players browse and launch games while creators publish their work. The homepage is the front door — catalogs, featured titles, and clear paths into play and community.

02 — Play experiences

Web, 3D, and Unity — games that run in the stack you ship

Players don't just list games — they play them. PlayByt supports experiences built with vanilla web, Three.js, and Unity Engine, wired through a TypeScript / Node / Express backend with MongoDB and SQL where each data model fits best.

03 — Publish

Creators publish games — not just browse them

Publishing is a first-class flow. Creators can ship titles into the store, manage listings, and reach players without bolting on a separate CMS. App integrations keep the platform open to tools around the game loop.

04 — Compete & connect

Leaderboards, VS boards, and community messages

Competition and community keep players coming back. Leaderboards and VS boards surface rankings and matchups, while community messaging lets players talk shop — built into the same platform that hosts the games.
