AI editor

Build scenarios with an AI assistant

Your assistant can do almost anything you can do in the editor: build scenes and scripts, play the scenario, catch dead controls and soft locks, and profile it. Every change lands in the activity feed, one click from a diff or a revert.

Edit while the game runs

Change a script, a scene or a shader and see the result without restarting the game. Most of the game keeps running; only an edited script is re-initialized, and it keeps its saved state.

The profiler tab during Play: a half-second spike towers over the budget line in the frame strip, above that frame's flame graph

Find out why your game is slow

A profiler tab shows every frame against your budget; click a spike to see its timeline and flame graph. Your AI assistant can ask for a ranked list of likely causes with estimated savings. Recording is on while you develop and costs a few microseconds a frame, so the slow moment is already captured.

  • Automated playtesting

    A built-in playtester runs your game without a window, drives the player toward the scene's goals and reports dead controls, soft locks, script errors and silent audio. A check before play catches broken references.

  • Watch your game being built

    Presentation view turns the editor into a clean show: the scene slowly orbits while a live feed shows what your AI assistant is doing. Made for streams and demos.

  • Generate or reuse assets

    Search a shared library first, and generate concept art or 3D models only when nothing fits, with the price shown before every paid step. Each generated model is checked for game-readiness, and where it came from is recorded with it.

    Planned for v0.8.0

  • Several assistants at once

    More than one AI assistant building your game while you play-test it.
