Original game development
Systems design, Luau engineering, UI and economy work on titles we own. Most of the effort goes somewhere players never see: the tuning pass that makes hour forty still worth playing.
Latest AXIOM containment is now the default on both live titles
We make Roblox games, then we run them.
CypherX Interactive is the games side of Spheres Hosting LLC. Two titles are live, a third is in grey-box, and all of them sit behind AXIOM, the anticheat we wrote after getting tired of watching exploiters ruin our own servers.

What we do
Three things, done properly.
We are not an agency and we don't take on client work for hire. We build our own Roblox titles, we keep them running, and we write the security layer they depend on.
Security & anticheat
AXIOM checks the things that matter on the server, scores the rest against how players normally behave, and quarantines anything it can't clear. Every version ships to our own games before anyone else sees it.
Infrastructure & live ops
Spheres has been running servers a lot longer than we've been shipping games, so data services, analytics and release management came with the furniture. Updates go out without taking the game down.
Our titles
Games built by CypherX.
Two live on Roblox right now. One more when it's ready and not before.
Live
SMFT: Gods
Mythic combat · PvP
Claim a pantheon, learn its kit, and fight for the arena. Fast rounds, readable telegraphs, and a balance pass every few weeks whether the meta needs it or not.
Live
PlushX Tycoon
Tycoon · Simulation
One stitching bench at the start, a factory floor by the end. The upgrade tree changes what you're doing rather than just how fast the numbers climb.
Platform
AXIOM Anticheat
Security platform
The layer underneath the games. Server-side validation, anomaly scoring and a moderation queue with the evidence attached to every case.
AXIOM Anticheat
The client can lie. The server doesn't have to listen.
Anything running on a player's machine can be read and rewritten, so AXIOM treats every client message as a request rather than a result. State that carries value gets recalculated on the server, scored against that player's own history, and then cleared, flagged or stopped.
- Server-authoritative by default. Movement, economy and combat are settled where the client can't reach.
- Behavioural baselines. Signature lists always lag the people writing exploits, so we watch the shape of the behaviour instead.
- Graduated response. Warn, throttle, rollback, isolate or ban, configured per detection class.
- Containment before punishment. Suspects get quietly moved to an instance that saves nothing, so the real game stays clean while we confirm.
- Audit trail. Every action stores the evidence that caused it, which is the only way to answer an appeal honestly.

How we work
Launch day is the middle of the job.
Every title goes through the same four stages, and the last one never really ends. It's the reason we ship slowly and support for years.
Prototype
One mechanic, playable inside a week. If it isn't fun as grey boxes, art won't save it, and we've killed prototypes that looked great on paper.
Engineer
Typed Luau, server-authoritative from the first commit, with AXIOM wired in before we let anyone outside the team play it.
Launch
Staged rollout, then someone sits with the dashboards. Retention, economy health and error rates get read hour by hour for the first few days.
Operate
Content on a schedule players can plan around, balance passes written down before they go live, and security updates whenever they're needed.
Our release rhythm. Patches land Thursday evenings UK time. Anything urgent goes
out the moment it's tested. Anything cosmetic waits for the next Thursday, because a
surprise deploy in the middle of a busy Saturday is how you lose a weekend and a few
thousand sessions.
Devlog
What we shipped recently.
Patch notes, post-mortems and the occasional apology. Written by whoever did the work.
SMFT: Gods
1.9.2
Parry timing rollback
We widened the parry window by two frames last week and it broke more than it fixed. Aegis builds went from strong to unbeatable overnight. It's back to where it was while we look at the underlying problem, which is that the wind-up animation reads differently on mobile.
PlushX Tycoon
2.4.0
Export tier, first beta
Shipping contracts and regional demand are live for anyone past the fourth factory unlock. Prices float now, which means you can lose money on a bad contract. That's deliberate. Tell us if it feels punishing rather than interesting.
AXIOM
Containment is now the default
Flagged sessions route to a non-persisting instance instead of taking an immediate ban. Two months of data says we were wrong about roughly one flag in forty, and those forty-first players now lose nothing.
The studio
We're small, and we plan to stay that way.
CypherX Interactive is the game development arm of Spheres Hosting LLC. The pairing isn't an accident. The people writing gameplay code sit next to the people who get paged when a database misbehaves at three in the morning.
In practice that shows up as versioned player data, migrations we've actually rehearsed, and services we can see into when something goes wrong. AXIOM exists for the same reason: our own games needed it and nothing on the shelf was good enough.
Fewer titles, longer support windows, and a short path between the person reporting a bug and the person fixing it.
Common questions
Things people ask us.
Do you take on contract work?
No. We build and run our own titles, and the only thing we license out is AXIOM.
We get asked this every week and the answer hasn't changed, though we're always
happy to point people towards studios that do good work for hire.
Are you hiring?
Occasionally, and rarely with a formal posting. If you write Luau, model economies
or reverse-engineer exploits for fun, send something you've made to
hello@cypherxinteractive.com.
A place we can play beats a CV every time.
I found a bug. Where does it go?
The Discord, in the bug channel for the game in question. Include your username,
roughly when it happened and what server you were on. Screenshots help. Reports
that land there get read the same day and go straight onto the board.
Can I get AXIOM for my game?
Possibly. We license it selectively, mostly because supporting a studio properly
takes time we have to have available. Send us your experience link, your usual
concurrent player count and the exploits currently hurting you, and we'll tell you
straight whether we'd help.
Who actually owns CypherX?
Spheres Hosting LLC. CypherX Interactive is a brand of that company, not a separate
legal entity, so contracts, invoices and anything legal go to Spheres.
Let's talk
Building something on Roblox?
Partnerships, AXIOM licensing, press requests, or a note about one of our games. Everything that comes in gets read by a person.
