Get the Game Dev App

The AI Game Developer app is your AI pair-programmer for every engine. Grab the desktop app, or install the gamedev CLI — same account, same subscription.

▸ Desktop app

Signed installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux, with auto-updates.

Download the app →
Prefer the terminal? Install the gamedev CLI.

The same core in your shell (Node.js 20.19+ or 22.12+):

npm install -g @baizor/gamedev
gamedev

Sign in with your subscription

Launch the app and click Sign in. A browser window opens the secure device-authorization flow — approve it and you are in. Your usage, history, and limits sync across the desktop app and the CLI.

  1. Open the app and choose Sign in.
  2. Approve the login in the browser window that opens.
  3. The app confirms your account and plan.

Pick your engine

Choose your engine in the app. It installs the matching plugin, wires up the Cloud connection, and opens the editor — nothing to install by hand. Brutal is coming soon.

Unity 2022.3 LTSUnity 2023Unity 6 (6000.x)Any version 2022.3+

Pick Unity and the app installs the plugin, connects through ai-game.dev, and opens the editor. When the status pill reads ● Ready, you can start prompting — it exposes 72 capabilities (21 MCP tools + RQL).

▸ Try this first

“Create a new scene with a directional light and a rotating cube, then enter Play mode.”

Doing it by hand, or bringing your own MCP client? The advanced CLI + manual setup lives on the Unity install guide →

Start building

That’s it — describe what you want in plain language and the agent drives your editor in real time. You never memorize tool ids; just ask.

▸ Prompts to try
  • “List everything in the active scene.”
  • “Create a cube at the origin and give it a physics body.”
  • “Take a screenshot of the current view.”
