AI Game Dev — CLI
The AI game developer in your terminal. gamedev is the command-line agent from
ai-game.dev — an AI teammate that understands your game project and drives
your engine (Unity, Godot, Unreal) through natural language, right from the command line. It
is the terminal companion to the AI Game Developer desktop app and is powered by
the same Claude Agent SDK that runs Claude Code.
- :video_game: Engine-aware — understands Unity, Godot, and Unreal projects out of the box
- :robot: Real agentic coding — reads, writes, and edits your project; runs tools; iterates until it works
- :electric_plug: One-command engine wiring — installs and configures the MCP plugin for your engine
- :brain: Powered by the Claude Agent SDK — the same agent engine behind Claude Code
- :desktop_computer: CLI + Desktop — pairs with the ai-game.dev desktop app; share one account
- :globe_with_meridians: Cross-platform — Windows, macOS, and Linux, as a single self-contained binary
- :moneybag: Free to start — sign in with your account and upgrade to Pro at ai-game.dev

What It Does
gamedev puts an autonomous, project-aware AI developer at your prompt:
- Understands your engine. It detects whether you are in a Unity, Godot, or Unreal project and adapts — using the right tools and the right conventions for your engine.
- Edits real code. It reads and writes files across your project, runs commands, and verifies its own work, just like Claude Code — but tuned for game development.
- Drives your engine over MCP. Through the AI Game Developer plugins it can create scenes, spawn objects, author scripts, capture screenshots, and run tests inside the live editor.
- Works with the desktop app. Prefer a GUI? The same account and the same agent power the AI Game Developer desktop application.
