It appears to be just a playground for a bunch of friends at
RIT, I'm not sure how much of a "company" this was.
But, there is activity in the github issues list, circa
November 2020:
https://github.com/Circular-Studios/Dash/issues/249
But who knows, probably just fizzled out. I admit, I never
heard of them.

Their engine was unfortunate enough to land before the great
language update in 2015-2016, basically updating it to work with
current D well be such a PITA that it is easier to rewrite from
scratch, I did tried to update it but eventually abandoned it
because there is tons of dependencies from that era that was
abandoned as well.
It has some nice ideas like Unity-like class registration and
metadata using CTFE but that's basically it...
They even have minor issues in shaders like right-handed math
mixed with left-handed math resulting in broken shadows and more
issues.
