01 Our games
Game 01
Packet Empire is a data-centre tycoon crossed with a factory game. Start with one humming server in your garage, wire glowing data packets through your machines, and fill absurd contracts for fictional tech clients.
02 The studio
RustyCMD Games makes games about building things that hum: machines to wire, numbers to push, problems that explain themselves. We like games you can tinker with for an evening or a month, that respect your time, and that are a little bit cheeky.
$ small --on-purpose
A tiny studio means the people making the game are the same people reading your feedback in the Discord.
exit 0$ replay --every-bug
Press F8 in our games and the bug report carries your save and the log. Each one is replayed until the cause turns up.
exit 0$ ship --in-the-open
Patch notes for every update, an Early Access roadmap, and players deciding a lot of what comes next.
exit 0$ satire --fictional-only
We poke fun at the tech industry. Every company in our games is made up, and nobody real is the punchline.
