Frequently Asked Questions

EngineForge is a code editor built specifically for game developers. It's built on VS Code with deep Unity and Godot integration, including AI chat, live scene editing, and asset generation.

Unity 2021+ and Godot 4.0+. The IDE auto-detects your engine when you open a project folder and loads the appropriate AI skills and bridge integration.

macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows 10+, and Linux (Ubuntu/Debian, Fedora/RHEL).

No. EngineForge is a standalone application. All VS Code features and extension support are included out of the box.

For Unity, the bridge plugin is deployed automatically when you open your project in Unity Editor. For Godot, the plugin is auto-deployed but you need to enable it once in Project Settings → Plugins.

Yes. EngineForge is fully compatible with VS Code extensions. Install them from the built-in marketplace just like you would in VS Code.

The bridge is a real-time two-way connection between EngineForge and your running game editor. It lets the AI create objects, manipulate scenes, attach scripts, set properties, and control play mode, all without leaving the IDE.

Agent mode lets the AI write files directly to your project and execute bridge commands to build entire game systems in real-time. It can create scenes, write scripts, configure components, and set everything up in a single response.

Ask mode is a conversational assistant that answers questions about your project, explains code, and provides solutions without modifying any files. Great for learning and planning.

Yes. On the first message of each conversation, EngineForge injects your project context into the AI, including scenes, scripts, assets, engine version, and bridge status. The AI knows your project before you even ask.

Yes. You can describe what you want in natural language and Agent mode will write the scripts, create scene nodes or GameObjects, attach components, configure properties, and save the scene, all in one response.

Yes. Full C# support for Unity projects and GDScript support for Godot projects. The AI adapts its output to your engine and scripting language automatically.

EngineForge uses Claude Sonnet by Anthropic, one of the most capable coding models available. It excels at complex multi-step tasks, understanding large codebases, and generating complete game systems.

The Pro plan is $20/month and includes 200 AI messages. You get 2 free trial messages to experience the full AI capabilities before subscribing. The bridge, project analysis, and editor features all work without a subscription.

Each time you send a prompt and receive a response, that’s one message. This applies to both Ask and Agent mode. Canceling a response mid-stream still uses one message.

Yes. Pro users can purchase top-up credit packs at any time. Each $20 top-up adds 200 messages to your account, and top-up credits never expire.

No. The AI works locally with your project context. It doesn’t browse the web or access external services. Your code stays private.

Yes. Claude Sonnet supports extended thinking, which means it can plan and reason through complex multi-step game development tasks before generating code, leading to more accurate and complete results.
