{"id":98702,"title":"GladeKit: AI agent for game development","tagline":"AI agent that understands your Unity project and builds directly inside it (Unreal Engine next)","body":"GladeKit is an AI agent that understands your Unity project and can create systems, modify scenes, and fix bugs directly inside your engine. It doesn’t just generate code snippets - it takes direct action inside your project.\n\n**Demo**: \u003chttps://youtu.be/nzyCk8rsrdw?si=nfMdivnegZ0R94tW\u003e\n\n# **The problem**\n\nMost AI tools for game development don’t see your scene hierarchy, prefabs, or existing systems, so developers end up copying code into Unity, wiring components together, fixing errors, and repeating the process.\n\nThis constant context switching slows down shipping real gameplay.\n\n# **The solution: an engine-aware AI agent**\n\nGladeKit connects directly to your Unity project and understands the full context of your game. It reads your scripts, assets, scene hierarchy, and components, then plans and executes changes directly inside the engine.\n\nWhat that looks like in practice:\n\n* 150+ native Unity actions: create prefabs, wire up Animator Controllers, configure physics, build UI, set up lighting, bake NavMeshes - all from natural language\n* Full project awareness: the AI sees your scene hierarchy, active errors, render pipeline, selected objects, and script content before it does anything\n* Three modes built for different workflows: Agent, Debug, and Ask\n* Turn-by-turn revert: every change the AI makes is tracked and reversible, with a built-in script diff viewer so you see exactly what changed\n\nYou describe what you want, and GladeKit builds it inside your project.\n\n# **How it works**\n\nGladeKit indexes your Unity project and builds a structured understanding of:\n\n• Scripts and APIs\n\n• Scene hierarchy and GameObjects\n\n• Prefabs, assets, and components\n\nWhen you request a change (for example: “Create a player controller with WASD movement” or “Fix this null reference error”), it generates a plan and applies the required changes directly to the project.\n\n# **The ask**\n\n1. If you’re building a game in Unity, we’d love for you to try GladeKit.\n2. If you know indie studios or teams experimenting with AI dev tools, intros would be hugely appreciated.\n\nTry it for free here:\n\n\u003chttps://www.gladekit.com\u003e\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=98702\u0026key=user_uploads/424004/56ba163b-c05d-45b7-a278-2107abed2ba8)\n\n","slug":"Pfy-gladekit-ai-agent-for-game-development","created_at":"2026-03-12T15:09:48.531Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T04:28:15.971Z","total_vote_count":3,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Pfy-gladekit-ai-agent-for-game-development","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=98702\u0026key=user_uploads/424004/56ba163b-c05d-45b7-a278-2107abed2ba8","company":{"id":28938,"name":"Glade","slug":"glade","url":"https://gladestudio.ai/","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/39e64fe4e49894144581ae2ef69befe4cb83f6b8.png","batch":"Summer 2023","industry":"B2B","tags":["Generative AI","Consumer","Entertainment","Gaming","AI"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/28938"}}
